STEP 5 Operations
The STEP 5 programming language has the following three operation types:
•
Basic Operations include functions that can be executed in organization, program, sequence,
and function blocks. Except for the addition (+F), subtraction (-F), and organizational
operations, the basic operations can be input and output in the statement list (STL), control
system flowchart (CSF), or ladder diagram (LAD) methods of representation.
•
Supplementary Operations include complex functions such as substitution statements, test
functions, and shift and conversion operations.
They can be input and output in STL form only.
•
System Operations access the operating system directly. Only an experienced programmer
should use them.
System operations can be input and output in STL form only.
