I see a log more Siemens, Koyo, and Codesys everywhere in the US.įor custom blocks in FBs we use either FBD or SCL depending on requirements i.e.

Codesys is tricky because it’s like Android with multiple manufacturers but together they exceed Siemens in Europe. In Europe Siemens was never that high but it’s down to around 30%. Rockwells market share in the US was 85% at one point. We can kind of see where things are going. Rust went in the same direction whereas C++ plays fast and loose with memory.

Not all language features in object oriented systems are strictly necessary or desirable like data encapsulation which is problematic with PLCs where static memory allocation is considered required.

Later object oriented languages also made it possible to write code that is identical except changing only the parts that are different.

The big leap to using procedures/functions on PC languages was for this very reason. Fortunately tag-based systems are becoming the norm. On top of that when you have hundreds of variables with clear names like N10:23, it’s even easier to make a mistake. This all smacks of lots of fat finger errors. And let’s not forget they are all the same except where they are different. So you have to go back and edit all 10 code blocks hopefully not making any mistakes. So say you have 10 systems all very similar then someone decides to add another interlock. The fundamental problem with many PLC programs is everything is copy-paste. But in North America we're not ready for it. I think the trend is going to be closer to actual programming languages, so something like CodeSyS ST that supports a multiparadigm approach including OOP. It's more compact and just as easy to follow. I like FBD and wish I could use it instead of LD. No real opinion on CFC except I hate Rockwell's implementation, because it always turns to spaghetti and people put the elements too close to each other so it fits in the page, except comments then hover over the elements making selecting them a goddamn pain. Ladder state machines are clean and functional. It's a fine tool for documentation, it doesn't work as a programming language IMO because the actual implementation is in something else by design and you end up having to control the SFC from outside in another language. Conversely, ladder kinda sucks in CodeSyS but is better to use in Rockwell. Why do I have to put arguments outside the function call? Why don't I get non-retentive timers? Why is monitoring turned off by default and why are the values under the variables so that it expands the code over many lines? Why can't I assign true or false, just 0 or 1, and why aren't boolean variables colour coded for state instead of having that '0/1' value underneath?īut in CodeSyS, Siemens or even Omron, writing ST is pretty pleasant and easy to debug. This is a question that depends on so much. I use whatever the client wants, so mostly LD.
