Industrial Control

This page looks at the requirements for industrial levels of control.

We started the following thread to investigate the barriers to uptake for an open controller in the industrial controls community.

We have learned a lot from the conversation.

1. Long term reliability, including software patches
2. Long term availability
3. Support
4. Local availability of spares
5. Scalability
6. Remote administration and managed fleet updating
7. Simplicity = inherent reliability and less energy consumption

Naturally approvals are a must for any application environment.
