Procedure/MethodologyProcedure:
oPLC programming for process control .
oProgram is stored into user memory.
oCPU sequentially reads instructions & operate control.
oProgram can be written in 3 basic formats :o STL(Statement List)
o SCF(Sequential Function chart)
o LAD(Ladder Logic)- Most usedo ST(Structured Test )
o IL(Instruction List)
