RE: Most commonly used PLC
One way to tell who has the largest installed base is to look at the number of after market products to go into them. For instance, AB has an entire second-tier vendors association with periodic conventions etc. Omron, although big elsewhere in the world, has no such thing in the US.

My guess as to why is that early on in the '80s, AB forced their distributors to invest heavilly in stock and training. So when other PLC suppliers were trying to make the best PLCs for propeller-heads, AB was trumping them by getting product into the hands of lots of end users who didn't have time to check out every detail. Once someone was trained and accepting of AB's products they became reluctant to change and start all over again.
