Sequences, sequences, sequences... they're just so important! We've saved the best for last. Here's a more modern approach to writing a sequence in ladder logic.

Today, we're taking our pseudo code from last week and turning it into real code. This is a great exercise in programming and also another style of sequence logic.

Today we're talking about the thinking before writing code. This will make you a better programmer, and we'll use sequencing as an example.

What's at the heart of almost all PLC programs? Sequences! Any time you want to do a set of steps in order, a sequence is a great way to organize. Watch over Jon's shoulder as he walks you through it, step by step.

3-Way Switches. You've seen us cover this in ladder logic, but today we're going to do something really crazy. Strap in to your chair and put your helmet on. We're doing it in structured text!

2 switches that do the same thing? What about 3 or 40? There's a better way. Let me show you!

What's that? You want 2 switches to do the same thing? I know exactly how to do that in ladder logic! ...but it's a little weird. Let's check it out. :)

Coil vs Latch in Ladder Logic - Both allow you to control the state of a bit, but there're are some common conventions to be aware of. Watch the video to find out what they are.

The good old motor starter circuit may be the first thing every PLC programming course teaches, but they never show you how to do it in structured text. Don't worry, papa Breen Machine has you covered.

Ah, the traditional motor starter circuit in ladder logic. An oldy but goody, and foundational to so many common structures in ladder logic programming. If you only learn one thing about ladder logic, this is it.

To toggle or not to toggle. That is the question. And there's more than one way to answer it. Join us as we philosophize in structured text.

Those bits aren't going to toggle themselves. Join Jon as he demonstrates several ways to convince bits to stop doing whatever they're doing using ladder logic. (Hint: it's called a "toggle" or "flip flop" circuit)

We're proud to announce the first recipe in our PLC Programming Cookbook. In this video, we talk about a few ways to make things blink in ladder logic and how to fit that into the broader context of a full PLC program.
