A Soft PLC combines the functions of conventional PLCs with those of data loggers, communications gateways, Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs), web servers, and various other elements. The Soft PLC approach offers numerous benefits to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and users. In the early days of Soft PLCs, industrial PC hardware was often used as the platform. This led to misconceptions about the Soft PLCs capabilities, as well as questions of reliability, ruggedness, and security. However, there are many implementations of Soft PLCs that defy these misconceptions. This panel discussion will feature Soft PLC experts, leading PLC OEMs, and application engineers who will help dispel the myths and explore the benefits of the Soft PLC.\u00a0 Each participant will offer a unique perspective on this valuable tool and discuss future applications. This interactive webinar event will be of interest to those unfamiliar with Soft PLCs, those who have dismissed Soft PLCs as not viable, and those who are looking to [&hellip;]"}
