The Ladder +
BASIC Programming Language
Most PLCs in the industry are programmed by a highly specialized, well-established
programming language called "Ladder Logic". Ladder Logic
language has its strength in handling single bit digital I/O programming, but it is
awkward to handle data processing where numerical data needs to be manipulated.
On the other hand, desktop computers are typically programmed by
high-level languages such as BASIC, C, PASCAL, C++, Java etc. These
powerful programming languages are designed for data processing, but they are not oriented
towards flipping single bit digital I/Os.
By combining these two most important branches of programming languages
into one single, seamless entity, we had invented the industry first "Ladder
+ BASIC" language that can easily handle sophisticated tasks with just a few
lines of codes. We have also developed a family of M-series
Super PLCs that are exclusively programmed in Ladder + BASIC language,
using our highly acclaimed TRiLOGI PLC programming Editor, Compiler and
Simulator software. The following simple example illustrates how Ladder+BASIC
language works in tandem:
