I really need to go back and read this entire thread.. but.. >>I think HAL main weakness is absence of RT scripting, so you need something ancient like classic ladder strapped on for any automation...<<
The majority of the industrial control engineers in the world would probably disagree that Ladder is ancient. Implementing state machines in ladder is simple. I'm not found of Classic Ladders editor but it does get the job done for simple implementations and changes can be done on the fly. If you at Comp a little differently - the component to generates real time Hal components, you will see that it can be used as a scripting tool. Not ideal perhaps, but it can suffice in some situations.
