Conclusion

Modicon PLC basically have 2 type software Legacy that support IEC language or only LL 984 (modicon ladder)

Modsoft transform to ProWORX NxT then transform to ProWORX32 due to PC Operating System upgrade compatibility.

Concept are independently built for compliance to IEC language and only compatible for some new PLC and that time, but this new PLC also compatible with ProWORX (LL984 only)

PL7 are independently built for Telemecanique PLC.

ProWORX32, Concept, and PL7 merge and transform to new Software : Unity Pro

Unity Pro at version 14 changes it name to Control Expert 14
