STLang
ST Language, also known as Structured Text, is a high-level programming language used in industrial automation to describe the behavior of a control system. It is one of the five languages defined by the IEC 61131-3 standard, which standardizes programming languages for programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
ST Language is a text-based language that is easy to read and write, making it popular among industrial automation professionals. It uses structured programming concepts such as loops, conditional statements, and functions, making it well-suited for designing and implementing complex control systems.
One of the advantages of ST Language is its ability to integrate with other languages defined by the IEC 61131-3 standard, such as ladder logic, function block diagrams, and sequential function charts. This makes it possible to design and implement complex control systems that integrate multiple programming languages.
How to Use CLang
- Drag and drop the desired STLang function block from the Language tab of the Toolbox panel onto your device.
- Double-click on the block to open the STL editor and write STL 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.
