PIC & Reliability
(OP)
Hi all
Is the PIC microcontroller reliable for tough industrial field and can be rely on to perform sensitive control tasks.
I not what other microcontroller you recommend ?
Thanks

zacky; To answer your question. Yes! A PIC is certainly tough enough to perform sensitive control tasks in an industrial field.

The one observation I have made is that the PICs (and likely other makes) used in the internal self clock mode are highly immune to noise. Adding a crystal seems to open up a big portal to to the outside noise world.

Zackies question is sooo broad.. Your crystal point is good. But what really gets the crystal is mechanical shock.
Drop a system running on an xtal and you could get lots of um.. un-happyness.

For those resets when you least expect it, especially during development when you forget to set the configuration bits properly. (Like I inevitably do...).
