Which make of PLC's do you use ?.
 
We are hoping to move to OZ next year, probably Brisbane.
I currently work for a machine builder in the UK designing control systems, Programming PLC's and Commissioning new machines.
Most of my PLC experience is with Mitsubishi PLC's & CNC's, Proface HMI's and some IFIX & Citect SCADA.
I was wondering which brands of PLC & HMI are most used in OZ ?.

I do know from looking at jobs that they use allen bradley and siemens a lot, most of the plc control based jobs i've looked at seem to ask for this type of experience they also like SCADA over here. not sure what type of HMI's they use again same with cnc's they don't always specify the types so much, but they definatly like allen bradley and siemens experience which is great for me.

best of luck and hope this helps

From what i can gather they are into A/B, Siemens and Citect Scada.
