Traditional methods, such as ladder logic, are, in fact, the staple means of industrial automation throughout the domain of programmable logic controllers (PLCs). But that's when technology keeps advancing, and project requirements start getting highly dynamic; the limitations within these methods come to light. This course explores how object-oriented programming is modernizing PLC programming under the aegis of the IEC 61131-3 standard. OOP follows a perfect approach that provides a sound base for engineers to come up with agile and responsive ways of dealing with changes in requirements.
The backbone of OOP is formed by a robust set of borrowed concepts from prominent programming languages like C++, Java, and Python. In this course, "PLC Object Oriented Programming :Advanced Infrastructure," participants learn the basics of the Structured Text programming language, which allows them to take advantage of principles of modular design, classes, methods, and properties. This allows the engineer to create enhanced code without significant rewrites, giving adaptability when project scope inevitably changes.
OOP holds forth greater convenience and is the future-proof guarantee in PLC programming. Advanced state patterns, interfaces, and layered design arm engineers with the ability to naturally address complex industrial automation challenges. With this understanding now strong in the students, they are poised for the next level of PLC programming. In the final project, students taking the PLC Object Oriented Programming :Advanced Infrastructure course will use the OOP principles to develop a solution that addresses real-life applications.
