Re: Programming with the 2009 controller
Does any one in this thread know if the 2009 controller can be programmed with the traditional industrial languages?

such as:

Ladder Logic
State Logic
Flow Chart Diagram
Structured Text (yup...C++ is Structured Text)

Are these optional? Or is labview only function block programming only?

National Instruments for YEARS has been bugging me to try a controller to replace the PLC (programmable logic controllers) I use in machine designs, and have said we can program in ladder logic, STL, flow chart, ST, when we switch over to this controller. That's where I am coming from with this question.

Or is C++ and function block (labview) the only options? And those other few mentioned in this thread....
