Structured Text is a high-level programming language used primarily in the field of industrial automation. It is part of the IEC 61131-3 standard, which defines programming languages for programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Structured Text resembles traditional programming languages like Pascal and allows for complex algorithms and data manipulation through its clear syntax. This language is designed to be easy to read and write, making it accessible for engineers and technicians. It supports various programming constructs, such as loops, conditionals, and functions, enabling users to create efficient control programs for machinery and processes in a structured manner.
