IEC Standard->IEC-61131-3, the first vendor independent standard programming language for industrial automation.

IEC-61131-3, which is the first vendor independent standard programming language for industrial automation. IEC-61131-3, which provides multiple language support for control programming, allowing the designers to select the best language that is best suited to a particular task or user preference. The standard is also hardware independent increasing level of software reusability. The user selects the language and the hardware supports the interpretation of the language. Building automation supports similar languages but the implementation is closed to each vendor. For example many BAS vendors support structured text languages. Although the syntax may look similar at a user level, the interpretation of the complied output is different from vendor to vendor. Therefore the BAS industry requires a similar standard to IEC-61131-3 to further open up the industry.
