The document discusses the proposed 3rd edition of IEC 61131-3, the international standard that defines common industrial control programming languages. The 3rd edition proposes extensions to the existing languages to add object-oriented features like classes, inheritance, and polymorphism while maintaining compatibility. It also proposes other enhancements and clarifications to better adapt to modern programming practices. The 3rd edition aims to complete its review process in 2012 to become the validated standard.
