What is Ladder Logic?

[@Flankymanga]

I have done some projects in ladder logic but as a professional developer i would definitely value the option to use a high level programming language like Python. Python is very popular these days.

[@evilgoodness1]

is it? allen bradley and automation directs software seem to be everywhere.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences!

Ladder for simple process programming. Easy to troubleshoot and easy to program. STL for complex programming like mathematical applications. I think the combination of the two are the best of the two worlds. Those that say python, have no idea about industrial development and programming.

What is STL?

[@Ridaremifasol]

Ladder and Phyton 😁

[@Lopanfernando]

I like ladder logic as it is very easy to programme and to understand

[@hagopboghossian6841]

Ladder logic is my favorite 😍 because it's simple (logical diagram) you don't have to memorize anything just think logically and it's all done.

[@bunnyman6321]

Is ladder still your favorite?

[@hagopboghossian6841]

@Bunny Man For plc programming, yes and for microcontrollers I use c

[@bunnyman6321]

@Hagop Boghossian Interesting! Is Javascript still useful to learn or is it outdated?

[@hagopboghossian6841]

@Bunny Man Html5 CSS and javascript great for web front-end development. Javascript is great its use by many web developers. It's number 1 ❤️

Phyton is much easier language than C, but as Martin has said the IEC-61131 part 3 have 5 formal languages, two of them is Structured Text and Instruction list - it is very powerfull tools if you know how to use the, and the best part they are easier than Phyton, so I don't know why it should contain the usage of python. On the bottom line, if you are understand the logic it will be the same in every language you would choose.

Hi IEC 61131 Standard PLC Programming are 5 : LD - FBD - ST - IL - SFC easy one is Ladder but it's take to much size from memory

[@saviournartey4575]

I think plcnext is the best plc of the future, it can be program in python, C++ and java most of the text languages .

[@bunnyman6321]

Is Java still popular?

Nice video Realpars. Please upload manual English subtitles. Thanks.

[@realpars]

Hi Bitebo, Thanks for your feedback! I will pass it on to our team. Happy learning!

[@roshan2940]

Pls make videos on ladder logic. 🙏🙏

[@realpars]

Thanks for your topic suggestion, Roshan!

[@dwsan1tx]

I wasn’t aware you’re a handyman…haha. The next must be quite versatile to be used for home repair. 👍👍 Great video and keep it light and cheerful. Thanks

[@realpars]

Thanks a lot! Happy to hear that :)

[@darthenx2585]

Lol I like how they used a wooden ladder 🪜 as a demonstration that ladder logic is old lol

[@realpars]

Thank you, Darthen! :))

[@yeshinidup7622]

I would love to see tutorial video of ladder logic.

[@realpars]

Thanks for your topic suggestion, Yeshi! I will happily pass this on to our course developers!

[@bilalabdulla7670]

I watched your vedios on here and your website i wanna say that your lectures are great and i wanna participate your course(PLC programming all levels ) i just finished first one wich was free in your website and i have a question after completing this course can i learn every thing about PLC i mean can i work as plc programmer and i wanna certificate after completion do you give me certificate ??

[@realpars]

Hi there, Thank you very much for your kind comment! Great to hear that you have been enjoying our PLC courses. Regarding your question, yes, you will automatically receive a certificate of completion for each Pro Membership course series you have completed. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our support team over at [e-mail]

[@mohamedtahaelmhal5826]

Good

[@fatihakbaba7326]

I usualy use cfc language

[@ADESHKHAIRE-l3d]

Python - the new era

[@alex_nevskiy_888]

IMHO Ladder-Logic loses to SCL in complex logics with switch statements, arrays and non-trivial math formulas. In that case it becomes very undeclarative and confusing.

[@Mircea007]

python 3

[@davebennett5069]

I could write all of a complex process control program in structured text, but ultimately - I would be the only person able to understand it. In order to work in the real world you must be able to communicate with people across a project who have different backgrounds and experience levels. Some are expert process engineers and know nothing of code, some are expert electricans and know nothing of process logic, etc. Ladder is a language which has the lowest barrier to entry and for that reason - it's valuable. Anyone who claims ladder logic is useless, or that because it visually represents similar logical elements differently than another language, is missing the point entirely.

[@billyhorton5779]

Very well explained! The simpler something is, the better.

[@realpars]

Thanks for sharing that, Dave! Great addition
