With many programmable logic controller (PLC) programming languages and standards from which to choose, select the best language for specific automation and controls applications. Part 2 focuses on function block diagram (FBD), continuous function chart (CFC) and structured text (ST).

With so many programmable logic controller (PLC) programming languages and standards from which to choose, what is the right choice for automation and controls applications? Part 1 provides an overview and focuses on Ladder Diagram (LD) and Sequential Function Chart (SFC).

Whether special machine, automated industrial building, mobile equipment or logistics system: updates of the control application for the improvement of processes, performance or functions affect all automation systems. As the following example shows, these updates can be significantly accelerated through cloud-based controller administration.

Your plant or equipment is assembled from objects – your control should be, too. New tools deliver the productivity of OOP without the complexity. New Object Oriented Industrial Programming (OOIP) techniques deliver the productivity gains of Object Oriented Programming (OOP) while maintaining the ease-of-use and reliability required for industrial controls applications.

Your plant or machine is assembled from objects – your control should be, too. New tools deliver the productivity of OOP without the complexity. Industrial controls software engineering has unique requirements for high reliability and for ease of use by a broad spectrum of users. Those are the reasons why graphical languages have been the mainstay of industrial controls programing and industrial controls engineers tend to wait for the latest trends in computer science mature before adoption (such as symbolic addressing and data structures which both matured for 20 years before entering the industrial controls mainstream).

Mit der integrierten Engineering-Software steht eine All-in-One-Plattform zur Auswahl von Geräten, zur Programmierung und Einrichtung von SPSen, HMIs, Antrieben und weiteren Systemen von Delta Electronics zur Verfügung.

In der Software-Entwicklung zur Erstellung von PC-Software oder Handy-Apps ist der Begriff bekannt: „Code smells“. Programmcode kann also „stinken“, und zwar dann, wenn er eine Fehlergefahr in sich birgt.

Taking automatic car washes as an example, the CODESYS Group, manufacturer of the CODESYS automation software, and Inasoft, system integrator and manufacturer of the software solution "SQL4automation Connector", show how Industry 4.0 platforms can be successfully integrated today into existing plants.

The weekly car wash in the domestic driveway has become rare. Instead, we drive to the nearest car wash with drainage and filter system to make our cars shine. In many cases, you can still wash your car there manually. However, a fully automated car wash is quicker and usually even more thorough.

Inasoft GmbH integrates the CODESYS Automation Server in the car wash facilities from Autowaschtechnik AWT AG .
