Practical Tips and Techniques
SFC (Sequential Function Chart) is a visual structured graphical language that utilizes PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) to organize application programs using flowcharts based on the processing order. SFC divides the application program into two main components: ‘Steps’ and ‘Transitions,’ providing a method to link them. Each ‘Step’ is associated with a specific ‘Action’, while each … Read more
PLC Simulator is a convenient tool for testing and troubleshooting structured text (ST) programs in the XG5000 programming software. It allows you to simulate the operation of a programmable logic controller (LS Electric PLC) without needing actual hardware. This makes it a valuable asset for beginners and experienced programmers. We will use the PLC simulator … Read more
The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) XGB PLC, developed by LS Electric, offers a convenient programming interface using the XG5000 software in ladder diagram format. This widely used industrial PLC language is known for its simplicity and intuitiveness. The PLC can be programmed in four of the five official languages specified in the IEC standards. Previously, … Read more
Structured text (ST) programming is a programming language that is part of the IEC standard and is used in the Arduino Opta PLC. This programming language allows you to write code in a structured and organized manner, making it easier to understand and maintain. With structured text programming, you can create complex and sophisticated programs … Read more
