functions and even greater operating convenience.

The devices programmed in C are able themselves to take over a great number of
control tasks. In smaller systems the user will even be able to do without a PLC
altogether: if desired the C program can function as a full mini-PLC.
In more com-
plex applications the C-programmable Gateways make the work of the PLC ea-
sier - for example by pre-processing special functions.
