Instruction List Programming
Instruction list (IL) programming is defined as part of the IEC 61131 standard. It uses very
simple instructions similar to the original mnemonic programming languages developed for
PLCs. It is the most fundamental level of programming language - all other programming
languages can be converted to IL programs. Most programmers do not use IL programming
on a daily basis, unless they are using hand held programmers.
1. Instruction
an Operator ,
if necessary with a Modifier and
if necessary one or more Operands
Should several operands be used, they are separated by commas. It is possible for a label to be
in front of the instruction. This label is followed by a colon. A comment can follow the
instruction
2. Basic instruction
