• Advanced elements including STRUCT, ENUM, ARRAY, STRING
• Guidance on naming conventions, troubleshooting, testing, and organizing your programs
• Sequencing and splitting code into functions and function blocks
• Practical applications like FIFO, random number generation, sorting, scaling, toggling, simulation signals, and digital filtering
• Real-world control scenarios including tank controls, conveyor belts, adaptive pump algorithms, and robot control
• PLC program structures for pumping stations, 3D car parks, and car washes
• Examples demonstrating the transition from Ladder Diagram to ST programming

With over 150 PLC code examples, the book emphasizes writing robust, clear, and well-structured code. It systematically explains basic programming principles, enriched with practical advice drawn from the author’s extensive industrial experience.

Written by Tom Mejer Antonsen, a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering with 25 years of experience in developing and programming complex control and supervision systems, and an Assistant Professor teaching PLC programming at Dania Academy in Denmark.

Tom has authored several books and sold more than 10,000 copies, making this a trusted resource for PLC programmers.
