Hello,

Great question.
I have sent the question to a person how should know the story of the PLUS+1 software, and I hope we can get an exciting story. But it may take a while, so be patient.


Have a nice day.

Hello again.

This is what I got.

PLUS+1 as a programming language has its roots from late 1980s.
Göran Nilsson was the one who invented the data flow diagram programming language that has evolved into PLUS+1 GUIDE.
Göran was one of the co-owners of an electronic company (NOB Electronic) in Älmhult Sweden, which was later aquired by Danfoss in 2000.
PLUS+1 GUIDE was released at BAUMA Germany April 2004.
The development of the PLUS+1 Tools is still driven from Danfoss Power Solutions AB, Älmhult Sweden.

After many years of working with PLUS+1, I have come to appreciate how much foresight went into its design. I realised how advanced and well thought out many of its concepts were from the beginning. Please convey my sincere compliments and thanks to Goran for the vision.

Hello GiulioDallanese,

I will try to convey your thanks to Göran. I don't know if I will succeed, but I will do my best.

Thank you for this interesting topic.
A brief look back at the past 20-plus years, along with a vision for the future, would be interesting.

Have a great day
