Hi there PLC aficionados,
I have a quick question for you. Do you use Linux in your integrator/automation engineer/Technician role? If, yes which distro do you use or which one would you recommend for running PLC programs like studio 5k and 505 Workshop?
Also, what would you say the learning curve would be in migrating from a Windows platform to Linux, if all that will be done is accessing PLC programs and occasionally connecting directly to them via USB/Ethernet. In other words, is it more complicated to set up communication protocols.
Thanks,
AD
