Are PLCs politically correct?
Are PLCs culturally sensitive?
For instance, in the USA, ladder electrical schematics and logic diagrams are typically written left-to-right. Not so in some parts of the world (top-to-bottom, right-to-left).
In other ways, perhaps the instruction mnemonics are potentially funny or comical in another culture. (I once did a job in Brazil, and my employer's company initials, when spoken locally, made for a funny joke).
And, finally, who has possibly found other funny aspects of this very serious work, like using a TIMER data type tag name of 'BU' and then using the timer timing tag somewhere in logic.
