Structured Text

Structured Text is a high-level programming language used primarily in automation and industrial control systems, part of the IEC 61131-3 standard. It resembles traditional programming languages like Pascal or C, using clear, concise syntax to write complex algorithms. This makes it easier for engineers to create and read control logic for machines and processes. Compared to other programming styles, Structured Text allows for better organization and modularity, aiding in the development and maintenance of automated systems. It's popular for its clarity in expressing operations, making it accessible for both experienced programmers and those new to automation.
