ISaGRAF releases version 6.0 of its IEC 61131-3 and IEC 61499 compliant
firmware and workbench for building industrial automation products.
Leveraging the Microsoft Visual Studio Shell and open plug-in technology, the ISaGRAF 6.0 Workbench is a modular and flexible environment that allows users to add or remove components. Every component interacts through ISaGRAF's new Microsoft .NET framework-based technology, called the Automation Collaborative Platform (ACP).The workbench offers many plug-ins: Ladder Diagram editor, a Function Block Diagram editor, a Structured Text editor, a Tag Database editor (Dictionary), plus several other auxiliary plug-ins. The ACP allows for the ability to add or remove various plug-ins to meet specific automation product environments. Other news of note is an every other week release of a new plug-in (6.0 released in mid-September 2010) for the next several months for 6.0 version, and other languages will be added to the complete the IEC 61131 suite.
