- The chapter is not finished yet. I am still working on the (black) Instructions without links. - Vamos 06.06.2023
SCL is the most effective programming language for Simatic systems. It is high-level, suitable for cycle organization, the use of CASE structures, its code can be edited with an external editing program or created with external generators.
