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

Sectors

• Labeling machines
• Chemical plants (e.g. oxygen extraction, evaluation of measured values)
• Rubber and plastics machines
• Woodworking machines
• Storage and logistics systems
• Paper and printing machinery
