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.
Best regards,
Tor

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.

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
