ClassicLadder real-time !

[Kurtis Martineau <klmartineau-at-shaw.ca>]

The following is an email sent to me by Marc Le Douarain.  Marc has written
a PLC programing interface for Linux called ClassicLadder.  I showed him
what has been done with EMC in the hope that ClassicLadder could be used
along side EMC as the main digital I/O logic tool.  ClassicLadder now runs
under rtlinux.  I would like others to try it out to see if this is
something that is as useful as I think it is.

Hello !
and a happy new year !

I write to inform you that I've just uploaded a new version of ClassicLadder
supporting RTLinux. So the refresh of the rungs can now be done in
real-time!
Another advantage is that we can now write a little piece of code to access
directly hardware for real i/o ports with inb() and outb().

If you can take a try, to see if it works for you...
I've used RTLinux v3 + Kernel 2.4.4
It should works with an older kernel version (2.2 for example)...

Bye.
