PLC Programming & Industrial Automation

Industrial control system programming using IEC 61131-3 Structured Text for automated positioning systems with real-time control logic.

PLC Programming & Industrial Automation

Overview

An industrial automation project implementing PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) programming using Structured Text (ST) following IEC 61131-3 standards. The project implements control logic for precision positioning systems, including coordinate-based movement control and automated sequences.
