Synopsis

IEC 61131-3 and best practice ST programming  This book gives an introduction to Structured Text (ST), used in Programmable Logic Control (PLC). Further the book can be used for programming in Siemens Structured Control Language (SCL) and for Programming Automation Controls (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 - 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 and supplying complex control solutions and supervision systems. Within these years, the author has 7 years of experience within Pascal programming and 12 years of experience with solutions and systems containing PLC.  The author is Assistant Professor and teaching PLC control systems at higher educations at a Danish Academy of Business and Technology: Erhvervsakademi Dania, Randers, Denmark.

About this title

From the Author

The author has 25 years' experience within specification, development and delivery of complex control systems and supervision systems. Of the 25 years, the au-thor has an 7-years' experience within Pascal Programing and 12 years within automation solutions and systems involving PLC. The experience comprises employ-ment in four international companies and delivery of more than thousand system solutions for 20 countries. This experience provides thus an important basis for the substance in the book.

Review

Edison yu, Work at plcskit.comas an automation engineer (China)
"Thank you for the great book, that will havepeople to write more powerful and useful PLC program.#PLCProgram,#LearningPLC"

Daniel Berggren, Application & Support Manager,Lenze Nordic (Finland)
"Truly a good one. We at Lenze use ST as main languageand have invested in this book. We use it for both internal use as well as selected customers"

Students at AP Graduate in Automation Engineering(Danish)
 "What could we have done without your book?"

R.Ignacio Soaz Gonzalez, System Development Engineer CAE (Germany)

I'm really happy having bought this book! Clear, concise, straight-to-the-point, and with very valuable hints for beginners ( and not so beginners!) on ST programming. Very suitable too for those who are already familiar to PLCs under the Ladder Paradigm and are aiming to start with or move to ST. Thanks for this book Tom!

Eric Ingrand, Control Systems Engineer (UK)

Great book. Useful information and examples comparing ST to Ladder. Books is for beginners and even intermediate. Being thrown in the deep of ST after 10 years of ladder I came across this book nearly a year into ST. I wish I had came across it sooner. 

Toni Kucic, PLC Programmer (Finland)

I bought your book and I think it is very good. I liked the fifo, filter and that random number generator that I was fighting with couple of years ago.

Torben Kjaer, Managing Director, Alsinger Integration (Australia)

"Have been using the book for referencing on a number of occasions, great asset to have in your tool bag. Thank you Tom for creating this book, great benefit to the general industry"

Pedro Jose Barretto, Bachelor Degree in Instrumentation Engineering (India)

"I have purchased this book and am using it to train myself in PLC applications requirements having ST programming. A High recommend to Engineers involved with PLC controls, design and Applications using ST programming."

PLC programmer (Norway)

"I am very glad for the book. I get a lot info about SCL programming in a low cost book. Here are more examples with explanation"

Peter Paul Dallmann, Automation system and industrial support (Denmark)

I have got your book and have to say that it is the first one that comes close to the point. For our in house training your book will become a "must read".

Jakob Sagatowski, Software Engineer at European Southern Observatory (Germany)

I just wanted to say that you are doing a great job with your education material for the field of automation. I've recommended your PLC-book for two friends that want to switch industry and start within the world of automation
