EcoStruxure Control Engineering - PLC program development guidelines

[KarolineBeske]

Are you looking for good practice guidelines to develop your PLC program?

By applying coding rules and good programming practices, PLC code will have a higher quality. This will lead to having PLC programs that are more robust and easier to maintain, thus reducing downtime in the operation.

The EcoStruxure Control Engineering team is proposing a collection of good practice rules, that can be found in the attached PLC program development guidelines. It is free to download.

Once the PLC program is readily developed following these (or other) guidelines, it can be reviewed automatically against these rules with tool EcoStruxure Control Engineering - Verification. 

This tool is accessible here: https://ecostruxure-control-engineering.se.app

Is a link available to the referenced document? It would be helpful when referencing this document as  justification to clients.

Hello Mr Rasoul, I am afraid, that there is no link to a se.com-page to download the document. That is why I had created this post. You could either pass on the link to this community post, even if it means that your customers have to create an account. The second possibility is to download the document and you can attach it to your email communications to your clients. The EcoStruxure Control Engineering platform (see post above) with the tool to verify a PLC program according to the guidelines suggestions is also a good place to send the customer to. They can find the documentation to all programming rules there, too. Kind regards, KBe
