Introduction
PLCopen is an international product and company independent association for the
proliferation of standardisation in programming of industrial automation
equipment based on the international standard IEC 1131-3. PLCopen was founded
in 1992 and is established in the Netherlands. PLCopen has appr. 50 full
members including PLC suppliers, suppliers of process control systems,
not-for-profit institutes, independent software vendors and universities from
Europe, North America and the Far East. The PLC suppliers


represent nearly 50% of the PLC world market. The independent software vendors
include all major European suppliers of programming systems for industrial
automation systems.
PLCopen has set up a certification program and is in the process of
establishing a joint training program. In addition it organises seminars,
participates in tradeshows and issues a newsletter and other promotional
material. PLCopen also makes proposals for improvement of the standard. It
maintains good relations with the IEC.
All secretarial services needed by PLCopen are provided by Open Technologies
Services B.V. in Zaltbommel, the Netherlands. All other activities are carried
out by members of PLCopen.
In order to cope with the increasing workload resulting from the growth of
PLCopen and to enable new activities the PLCopen general assemby has decided
to look for a Managing Director. The Managing Director will be employed by
Open Technologies Services B.V. It is expected that the Managing Director
initially will spend 80 to 85% of his time for PLCopen. The remainder will be
used for other Open Technologies Services B.V. activities.
