Course Description:
For many programmers, relay logic is cumbersome to work with, so more and more programs are being written in the Structured Text language. This language is similar in some ways to more popular programming languages such as C. This course will show your students real examples of routines that are being written in structured text, and give them time to practice writing the code.
