Standard language programming for SPS in ST and SCL in compliance with IEC 61131-3

EasyCODE was one of the first development tools that provided a graphic development interface for procedural programming languages and systematically applied the benefits of Nassi-Shneiderman structure diagrams. EasyCODE SPS pursues the idea of structured programming, and in doing so intentionally incorporates a technology that has proven itself on countless projects and which today is as up-to-date and efficient as it has ever been.

The capability of structured SPS programming is not exactly new. In the 1990s, SIEMENS was already offering an initial version that enabled SCL files to be generated from structure diagrams. Some of our customers are still using it to write their SPS programs even today.

EASYCODE, with its tools and solutions, is primarily successful in the classic embedded development field, and in the wake of numerous projects has become a standard application. EasyCODE customers naturally also develop solutions and products that operate with SPS systems, and we observe that these segments are becoming increasingly intermeshed. Embedded and SPS development teams frequently work not only under the same roof, but also on the same project, which of necessity results in SPS developers coming into contact with EasyCODE and becoming acquainted with, and appreciating, the advantages of structured development.

The text-based programming languages as laid down in IEC 61131-3 are ideally suited for structured programming. On account of these requirements, it was obvious that EasyCODE should offer a version for developing and analyzing SPS programs.
