Allen Bradley

"Mean Old Uncle Allen"

A common industrial PLC brand owned by Rockwell Automation. Infamous for forcing you to pay licenses for free software, and needs a whole filing cabinet of evidence to prove you own a license. This brand is also somehow one of the most leading brands in industrial control solutions.

Mechanical engineer: Hey man did you install the software for that PLC yet?
Electrical engineer: No because Allen Bradley won't verify my license.
Mechanical engineer: Ahh, mean old uncle Allen does it again.
