Rockwell gets a Big Fat red ❌️ on all of them

Technically they have a simple CLI for the IDE to do a few thinks like deploy, and import/export to XML but why even give them that, it can't do much else.

zantiu commented 3 months ago

How would the columns look like for Rockwell? There's PlantPAX and FactoryTalk. If the CLI is limited then add a ❌️with a footnote.

TheColonel2688 commented 3 months ago

Should have specified Studio 5000 their IDE.

"Factory talk" is just marketing branding on certain products. Like FT View, which is their HMI.

PlantPax is their Proprietary DCS Library.

zantiu commented 3 months ago

Isn't PlantPax sold as full DCS? (regardless whether it is or not). So different licensing, it should have a different entry.

TheColonel2688 commented 3 months ago

Yes it isn't free.

P.S. what the heck is "full DCS" anyways? I always interpreted it as just communication and state sync between PLCs

zantiu commented 3 months ago

Added two entries for Rockwell. For now very red. Hope it clears up when they announce their Open Process Automation offer ... https://www.rockwellautomation.com/en-us/company/news/press-releases/rockwell-automation-elevates-industry-leadership-through-robust-expansion-of-open-process-automation-technology-capabilities.html
