In the world of control and automation we sometimes have some tricky algorithms or problems that we need to solve. So, our thoughts generally look to an equation to get that particular job done. But there's another technique that shouldn't be overlooked - the Look-up Table. In this Livestream we will solve several real-world examples
Loops and Ladder Logic? As John McEnroe would say - Are you Serious? When we think of programming loops – we think of traditional computer languages. We might even think of IEC languages like Structured text - but never Ladder Logic. Join us as we explore and demonstrate techniques in the implementation of loops in
Cscape’s Standard IEC logic. Cscape’s Enhanced IEC logic. What is Horner talking about? What are the differences between the two, and is Enhanced IEC’s extra capabilities worth it to you? During this Livestream, we will help you answer that question while we “de-mystify” a sometimes confusing aspect of Cscape’s logic capability. WATCH NOW...
Structured Text is one of the most popular IEC languages - and for good reason. It’s Text based programming style is attractive to a number of programmers - especially those who are already familiar with languages like Java, Python and C. And even with traditional programmers - Structured Text’s elegant handling of instruction loops as
August will be IEC month - as we present five different topics all using the Cscape IEC logic editor. In this first installment - we demonstrate how to create and use User-Defined Function Blocks (UDFBs) in Cscape using IEC. While UDFBs are a topic we have covered for Advanced Ladder - there are important differences
On this channel we’ve extolled the virtues of variable-based ladder logic programming with its User-Defined Function Blocks (UDFBs). In this hands-on session, we’ll start with an analog processing routine developed using register-based ladder logic and transform it into a variable-based UDFB. You’ll not want to miss this session where we demonstrate how to efficiently re-use
This week is our fourth and final installment in our series on Cscape IEC 6-1131 languages. Sequential Function Chart is another graphical language - this time patterned around a traditional flow chart. It can be extremely useful as you define the steps, transitions and actions of your applications. One of the great things about Sequential
In the next installment of our series on Cscape IEC 6-1131 languages - we focus on Function Block Diagram. Function Block Diagram is a graphical programming language which allows you to easily read and conceptualize your logic. It also allows you to represent several lines of code in a single block - and establish connections
This week we take a look at Structured Text in Cscape. While not as popular or prolific as Ladder Logic, Structured Text is uniquely powerful - and features a more "computer language" look and feel. If you have a computer science background - it can quickly help you get comfortable as you program in a
At least 30 years after its predicted demise – Ladder Logic is here to stay. And Horner Automation continues to provide options to automation programmers who choose to program their control systems using this traditional language. In this session we’re going to help customers get started using the Ladder Logic editor in the IEC 6-1131
