I work with IDEC PLCs, and from a hardware perspective I think they are pretty good.
from a software perspective I think they could do better.. I think I could do better.
and so I am working on it.
I would love to be able to write node-red, and run native IDEC PLC code.
(my current method involves writing code that doen't execute natively)
Ive run this in Bash, C, C++, JS,PHP, Python... any language is feasible.
The final piece
Is a means to convert instructions into their raw compiled instructions.
I haven't figured that part out yet, and want help figuring it out.
i asked IDEC for support doing this.
Ill write all the language support if I can just get an API to do the language conversion from instruction to binary instruction.
Loathsome alternatives:
I guess all the mnemonics, and figure out how to run the ladder compiler dll in wine.
