PLCopen Newsletter – Issue December, 2011 ____________________________________________________
In a few weeks this year comes to an end. It has been a very turbulent year on the financial markets and that unfortunately does not stop at this year's end.
As for PLCopen, we have experienced a good deal of favorable developments. Like new ideas and functionalities for PLCopen Motion Control, the continued cooperation with OPC Foundation, and our presence at fairs and conferences all over the world.
Without doubt the year 2012 will have difficulties in stock for all of us. However, we look to the future with confidence and are looking forward to the challenges of the years to come.
Thank you all for your support and the interest in the work of PLCopen. And, for those who celebrate it, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a very successful new year. ____________________________________________________

1. PLCopen releases Part 6 of the Motion Control Specifications
The suite of PLCopen Motion Control Specifications has been extended with the release of Part 6, adding new areas of usage.
With this release a new application area is added: Fluid Power. This provides the ease of use of the PLCopen Motion Control in an area where no harmonization in the development environments was applicable, e.g. hydraulics. Also, the merge in the software environments of electrical and hydraulic systems is now made possible, providing a harmonized look and feel. This extension of the application area with fluid power, meaning in practice hydraulics, is showing that the ease of use of the PLCopen Motion Control is greatly appreciated by the users, even beyond the electrical drives
With this new specification, the PLCopen Motion Control profile can be used in additional application areas, including areas where the ease-of-use provided is unknown until now.
The new
specification can be downloaded from our website
www.PLCopen.org.
