Ladder Logic (LAD) for S7-300 and S7-400
C79000-G7076-C504-02
Product Overview
LAD stands for Ladder Logic. LAD is a graphic programming language. The
syntax of the instructions is similar to a circuit diagram. With Ladder Logic,
you can follow the signal flow between power rails via inputs, outputs, and
instructions.
The programming language Ladder Logic has all the necessary elements for
creating a complete user program. It contains the complete range of basic
instructions and a wide range of addresses are available. Functions and
function blocks allow you to structure your LAD program clearly.
The
LAD Programming Package is an integral part of the STEP 7 Standard
Software. This means that following the installation of your STEP 7 software,
all the
editor functions, compiler functions, and test/debug functions for LAD
are available to you.
Using LAD, you can create your own user program with the Incremental
Editor. The input of the local block data structure is made easier with the
help of table editors.
There are three programming languages in the standard software, STL, FBD,
and LAD. You can switch from one language to the other almost without
restriction and choose the most suitable language for the particular block you
are programming.
If you write programs in LAD or FBD, you can always switch over to the
STL representation. If you convert LAD programs into FBD programs and
vice versa, program elements that cannot be represented in the destination
language are displayed in STL.
