This book gives an introduction to Structured Text (ST), used in
Programmable Logic Control (PLC). The book can be used for all types of
PLC brands including Siemens Structured Control Language (SCL) and
Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC). CONTENTS - Background,
advantage and challenge when ST programming - Syntax and fundamental ST
programming - Widespread guide to reasonable naming of variables - CTU,
TOF, TON, CASE, STRUCT, ENUM, ARRAY, STRING - Guide to split-up into
program modules and functions - More than 90 PLC code examples in
black/white - FIFO, RND, 3D ARRAY and digital filter - Examples: From
LADDER to ST programming - Guide to solve programming exercises Many
clarifying explanations to the PLC code and focus on the fact that the
reader should learn how to write a stable, robust, readable, structured
and clear code are also included in the book. Furthermore, the focus is
that the reader will be able to write a PLC code, which does not require
a specific PLC type and PLC code, which can be reused. The basis of the
book is a material which is currently compiled with feedback from
lecturers and students attending the AP Education in Automation
Engineering at the local Dania Academy, "Erhvervsakademi Dania",
Randers, Denmark. The material is thus currently updated so that it
answers all the questions which the students typically ask through-out
the period of studying. The author is Bachelor of Science in Electrical
Engineering (B.Sc.E.E.) and has 25 years of experience within
specification, development, programming and supplying complex control
solutions and supervision systems. The author is Assistant Professor and
teaching PLC control systems at higher educations. LinkedIn: https:
