Five programming languages according to IEC 61131-3
•
IL (Instruction List): A low-level text language similar to assembly
•
LD (Ladder Diagram): A graphical language written in a form similar to electrical circuits
•
ST (Structured Text): A high-level structured language similar to Pascal
•
FBD (Function Block Diagram):
A graphical language to describe the function as a set of elementary blocks
•
SFC (Sequential Function Chart):
A graphical language used to program processes that can be split into steps
The NX1P supports LD and ST.
Adoption of the IEC 61131-3 standard
The adoption of the IEC 61131-3 standard is widespread from Europe and North
America to Asia.
The NX1P support programming languages based on IEC 61131-3. Engineers can be
trained easily thanks to familiar programming languages.
