PLCopen standard structure & Data Correction to SCADA system

This is the first in a series of articles focusing on writing code using IEC 61131-3 programming. The first series of articles will focus on information architecture for the standard conventions and data types. Following coverage of these, this series will explore the code written for a scope of different situations.

THE IEC 61131-3 software model

PLCopen diagram

Figure 1

Standard IEC 61131-3 has a hierarchical approach to the programming structure. The software model in Figure 1 shows the schematic of this structure. Analyze this structure from top to bottom. (more…)
