Instruction List (IL)

Instruction List (IL) is a programming language used to control automation systems, like industrial machinery. It resembles a simplified set of step-by-step commands, similar to traditional assembly language, where each line represents an action or decision. IL is designed for engineers and technicians to create, modify, and troubleshoot control processes efficiently. It operates by reading instructions sequentially or based on certain conditions, allowing automation equipment to perform tasks such as starting motors, opening valves, or monitoring sensors. Overall, IL provides precise, low-level control of automated systems in an organized and understandable manner.
