The Balkanized nature of programming is interesting.
I make a comment about C and get a flurry of responses, but ask a
question about a programming language that is also very common for
machine control and get no response at all. Not even a recognition
of its existence.
Siemens STL ist a programming language for machine controllers. It
is oriented towards Boolean operations and extended for integer and
real data types. Symbolic addressing is almost completely absent.
You might find more fertile ground plowing the plctalk.net forum when
your questions relate to the STL/SCL/FBD/LAD/CSF area.
FWIW, "STL" in Siemens-talk is an acronym for "Statement List". Why
it
isn't "SL" is anyone's guess.
