IEC 61131-3

Introduction

To create programs for the implementation of the PLCClosed"Programmable Logic Controller" A Programmable Logic Controller, PLC, or Programmable Controller is a digital computer used for automation of industrial processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines. Used to synchronize the flow of inputs from (physical) sensors and events with the flow of outputs to actuators and events part of your application, the KAS IDEClosed"Integrated development environment" An integrated development environment is a type of computer software that assists computer programmers in developing software. IDEs normally consist of a source code editor, a compiler and/or interpreter, build-automation tools, and a debugger complies with IECClosed"International Electrotechnical Commission" IEC is a not-for-profit, non-governmental international standards organization that prepares and publishes International Standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies 61131-3. This standard currently defines five programming languages for programmable control systems.

The KAS IDE implements this standard to provide you with well-defined and well-known programming languages.

For a description of IEC 61131-3, see "Programming Languages - Overview".
