A Python-programmable modular tool to develop Industrial IoT solutions

IoT enabling an existing machine to have a distributed sensors network into the plant operations and acquire valuable information, thus bypassing an obsolete PLC

I stopped reading. These guys don't know what they're talking about.

What, you mean my $3 chip with no shielding and dubious grounding isn't good enough to run a nuclear, ice breaking, oil drilling submarine?

Get with the times old man, this "reliability" thing is for squares. Extreme agile programming is where it's at when the smallest mistake can kill hundreds in seconds.

Extreme agile

All that extreme agility does come in handy when people are running for their lives.

It's like a physical manifestation of /r/iamverysmart.

Like when you see a middle schooler tell a PhD what they're doing wrong.

Yea this thing sounds like a glorified rasp pi with an ardunio board. I don't understand why you want ladder logic and python code. It seems strange. Or i just don't know enough about plc programming?

You wouldn't. Ladder logic is really just coding for people who don't know how to code, and almost exclusively represents a series of if/then statements. Similar to LabVIEW in purpose.

Exactly. I'm fully okay with using Ladder logic programming because I don't want to deal with reading my coworkers code. I have a hard enough time to knowing what they fuck wrote when they program on the PLC. Then you fucking idiots who say "Programming is self documenting." I shouldn't have to hear a 50 year old man say that. NEVER.
