RECENT DEVELOPMENT:
May 2022: The introduction of one of the Panasonic industry’s first motion controllers: the GM1. This small controller combines motion operations capabilities with PLC features like positioning, network modules, I/O modules, and a high-frequency counter. Response times of such little as 0.5 ms are possible due to the space-saving “all-in-one” solution, which integrates the modules into the GM1 motion controller.
August 2020: Nozomi Networks Labs reported that it had discovered five flaws in the authentication implementation of the MELSOFT communication protocol that affect Mitsubishi safety PLCs. Nazomi Networks claims that the MELSEC communication protocol, which is used to communicate and exchange data with the target devices by reading and writing data to the CPU module, has security flaws related to the design of an authentication mechanism. The company was expected to release a fixed version of the firmware soon.
