PLC Programming Development Tips
By Automated Electrics
Programming code is the invisible magic that runs our entire world. It is not only in automation equipment like PLC and SCADA systems but also the majority of electronic equipment and services we use every day including computers, phones, TV’s and even our cars.
Coding is responsible for the clean water we drink, the telephone calls we make, the TV shows we watch and more. It has a big influence in our lives whether we know it or not, and poorly developed code can not only cause great frustration but it can also be very costly, even dangerous!
This is why we want to point out how if you’re a programmer you can improve in your coding, and if you’re a manager or user you can ask the right questions of your programmer and better understand the coding process.

Code Planning Is Crucial
How can you start anything without a plan? If you want to build a house you don’t just start nailing bits of timber together and hope for the best, no, you put pen to paper and draw up a plan showing what rooms will be where. This is the same for code development. A good plan will save development time, minimise mistakes, and you will end up with a program that better suits the application.
