monty_burns_007 said:I used it once in AGV (automatic guided vehicales) in an automated plant. Because they where very compact. I once made a ladder logic to microchip asm converter which we used the to make PLC like programs. They (the pic's of all agv's) where also in communication with the mainfraim PLC's (S5 135u's).
The only drawback was the work to make a PLC in hardware. The 8bits ports from the pic where first multiplexed on a bus with driver ic's to create more digitale I/O's, then there was also the convertion from the TTL level to the industrial 24VDC range.
But they were quite fast analog steerings and digital timing steerings.
The only big work was making the plates + electronics which was luckily not for me

BTW: i am surprised to hear that other engineers are coding the pic micros in assembler rather than C. i have been programming mostly in assembler and constantly get grief from my collegues as they feel asembly results in increased development time but i Prefer the control that it gives over a compiler. I am interested to hear others input on whether they have had projects do better using assembler vs. compiled.
