Engineering Tool | S7-SCL |
Current version | V5.3 |
Software class | A |
Application areas | |
Can be used for | Text-based high-level language programming of simple and complex calculations, CASE, loop, jump, and comparison functions |
Marketing message | Programming of algorithms and calculations made easy! |
Advantages | - Clear and easy-to-read programs
- Functional, module-based programming
- CASE instruction replaces a large number of jump and comparison functions
- Easily understood by PLC programmers, as the programming philosophy of LAD/FBD/STL is retained
- Easy switchover to PLC programming for PC programmers
- Exchangeability (porting) of subroutines in accordance with IEC 61131-3
- Less time required for engineering compared to LAD/FBD/STL: Up to 20% for simple programs; at least 50% for demanding program structures
