Spammy WP:NEO and WP:CFORK. This is one vendor's neologism for their own product, which sets out to distance itself from its competitor's Programmable logic controllers by inventing a new term for itself. No sourcing other than from Opto22 and ARC themselves. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:37, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. More than one manufacturer sells something described as "Programmable Automation Controller" - some sell a shoebox-sized PLC under this name, Foxboro uses it for their "high end" controller. Since it's a marketing term with no commonly accepted differentiator from "programmable controller", it coudl be deleted and if needed a mention made at "programmable controller".--Wtshymanski (talk) 18:05, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
