Open carllemp opened 5 years ago

carllemp commented 5 years ago

An international standard for programming languages used for machine control and industrial automation.
IEC_61131-3 It defines a family of 5 languages: 3 of which are visual Sequential Function Charts (A decedent of Petri-Nets.) Function Block Diagram (A block and Wire diagram similar to others on the list here.) Ladder Logic (A representation of an electrical wiring diagram.)

Most industrial automation devices in the world support one or more of these languages.

Thanks for the recommendation!

I work for an industrial training company, so I've put those standards in a "industrial stuff, not programmer stuff" mental box and thus I always overlook them. Doh!
