Description
Common-of-the-shelf industrial PLCs have been integrated on a large scale into
many subsystems for accelerators, infrastructure, and detectors as reliable and
robust controllers. The use of these systems does, however, introduce a novel
set of challenges ranging from security issues to code management. Some
events during the run last year indicate that these challenges are not met in a
homogenous and adequate manner everywhere.
The presentation will give an overview of what is being done at CERN and how
the groups employing PLC's can get help to overcome many known issues.
