DCS/PLC CPU models
DCS/PLC CPU models
(OP)
I don't suppose anybody could tell me what model of processors are used in common industrial PLC/DCS controllers? I assume the majority are Intel based possibly Xeon for higher end controllers. I heard some old Siemens S7 CPU's use Mitsubishi chips.
I'm more concerned about DCS controllers since they handle a lot more network data. I just want to do a small study on industrial controller performance.
Thanks

Allen Bradley = intel = little endian format
Siemens = motorala? = big endian format
Not sure what the other manufacturers use?

If your integrating the two processor above you need to be aware of it.

But I have never heard that Siemens use a Motorola processor.
Kind regards
