A German manufacturer is working to produce what may be considered the ultimate in automation miniaturisation: a complete programmable controller cast in silicon. Its maker says that it will not only be the world's smallest, but also the fastest. VIPA is one company keenly interested in producing high-speed PLCs. In 1997 VIPA formed its ASIC design centre and a new subsidiary called Profichip and began working on Profibus interface chips and other devices, such as ASICs that consolidated much of the functionality of a PLC. Proflchip's next step in PLC evolution is to merge all the functions on its CPU 517 Slot into one piece of silicon, which it calls the PLC 7100. This is the real single chip PLC.
