What is the difference between ladder logic and iTRiLOGIs Ladder+Basic programming?
Most PLCs in the industry are programmed by pure “Ladder Logic”. Ladder Logic language has its strength in handling single bit digital I/O programming, but it is awkward to handle data processing where numerical data needs to be manipulated.On the other hand, desktop computers are typically programmed by high-level languages such as BASIC, C, PASCAL, C++, Java etc. These powerful programming languages are designed for data processing, but they are not oriented towards flipping single bit digital I/Os. By combining these two most important branches of programming languages into one single, seamless entity, we created the industry’s first “Ladder + BASIC” language that can easily handle sophisticated tasks with just a few lines of codes.
