Develop the PLC program
Test the program

The majority of PLC systems adhere to the IEC 61131-3 standard that defines 2 textual programming languages: Structured Text (ST; similar to Pascal) and Instruction List (IL); as well as 3 graphical languages: Ladder Diagram, Function Block Diagram (FBD) and Sequential Function Chart (SFC).

A boolean takes a single bit in the memory, can be set to 0 or 1, and is used in most basic PLC instructions. The PLC executes the program loaded into it one rung at a time. As the PLC begins to process the rung, it reads the instructions on the left and determines if the Logic on that side of the rung is set to TRUE.

When a PLC starts, it runs checks on the hardware and software for faults, also called a self-test. If there are no problems, then the PLC will start the scan cycle. The scan cycle consists of three steps: input scan, executing program(s), and output scan.

Someone with a good bit of programming experience will probably find the process easier than someone with little to no experience. On average, the expectation is that usually within a week or so one should be able to grasp the basics of PLC programming no matter what language is used
