Industrial Automation Control Standards

There are 3 areas of PLCs in need of standards. They are design, networking security, and procedures (working with PLCs).

• The design and PLC programming standards are covered in IEC 1131
• The Networking Security standards are covered in ANSI/ISA-99
• The ‘Working with PLCs’ procedure recommendations are covered in PLC Management

Hope this helps us all in the automation control industry get on the same page.
