<h2>I'm looking for ideas for workflow improvements.</h2>
<hr>
<p>Hours upon hours of my time is spent taking IO lists and making it into an import file for one piece of software, but a few hours later I find myself converting that softwares exported data for another component of the SCADA architecture. Add in more than one person working on the same project at the same time and it becomes a nightmare!</p>
<p><strong>What have you done to optimize your workflow so you can spend less time organizing data in excel?</strong></p>
<hr>
<p>Almost all our PLC programs are stored in a binary file. This is frustrating as we often have some people make changes or look at different ways to implement a function or feature.</p>
<p>This is made easy by using a version control system (CVS, SVN, GIT, etc) for simple text files, but completey fails to address these binary files.</p>
<p><strong>Any ideas on supporting version control for PLC programs?</strong></p>

<p>I'm fairly new to the Controls Overload scene, but have a desire to be useful in any way that I can. What is the best way to be a successful contributor to this site, without having to check it 6 times a day to see if a question has been asked? RSS? Twitter? </p>
<p>TIA</p>
