Insights on automation & engineering

A PLC coding standard that survives contact with a real project: naming that scales, block interface contracts, a versioned library and workable enforcement.

Troubleshooting PLC programs under pressure: five steps from the alarm view to the block, the right TIA Portal tools and five typical fault classes.

What belongs in PLC documentation: three layers from code to plant file, a checklist for the handover and how to proceed with only an online upload.

Which language for which task: LD, FBD, IL, ST and SFC under IEC 61131-3, how the Siemens names map onto them and a decision guide for TIA Portal.

S7-300 discontinued, S5 long out of spare parts: how a control system retrofit to S7-1500/S7-1200 and WinCC Unified works — often without a new cabinet.
