Software

S7-SCL (structured control language) is a high-level, Pascal-type language adapted to program controllers. S7-SCL is suitable for programming complex algorithms and mathematical functions. It is also used for tasks that require processing large amounts of data. Advantages of S7-SCL:

Simple and fast program development thanks to the use of powerful language constructs such as IF ... THEN ... ELSE
Easy to read, clear structuring
Program development with the use of symbolic variables ensures its effortless modification in the future
Simpler program testing with the use of a high-level language and a debugger
Less time spent on technological tasks and reduction of labor cost
