CLang
The C language has been widely used in the field of industrial automation due to its ability to perform low-level hardware operations and provide high-performance, real-time control of industrial processes. With C, programmers can directly access hardware resources such as I/O ports, timers, and interrupts, which are essential for industrial automation applications.
In addition, C language is often used to create function block diagrams, a graphical programming language commonly used in industrial automation to describe the behavior of a control system. A function block diagram is a collection of interconnected blocks, each representing a function or operation, which can be used to design and implement complex control systems. With C language, developers can create software function blocks that can be used in function block diagrams, enabling the integration of software and hardware control systems.
How to Use CLang
- Drag and drop the desired CLang function block from the Language tab of the Toolbox panel onto your device.
- Double-click on the block to open the C editor and write C code following the syntax and rules of the programming language to achieve the desired functionality.
- Once you have completed the programming process, click on the checkmark icon in the top-right corner of the editor to save and exit. Your function block is now ready to be used.
