Types of Programming Software Languages


LL984 - Traditional ladder logic is an easy-to-use graphical programming language that implements relay-equivalent symbology.


The IEC 61131-3 standard brings many common practices and proven techniques together with new, structural, high-productivity (development) tools. It enhances the quality of the application software through well structured design, data and control code encapsulation and information hiding. IEC Standard provides a well defined suite of inter-linked languages for solving a large variety of industrial control problems.
Function Block Diagram (FBD) - Continuous control and/or discrete control
Structured Text (ST) - Equations, table manipulation, complex algorithms
Instruction List (IL) - Fastest possible logic execution
Ladder Diagram (LD) - Discrete control
Sequential Function Chart (SFC) -A graphical method of representing a sequential control system
