Hello,
For context, I am a beginner doing a robotics project, which involves a packaging operation. I have finished my programming using the robot's programming software and now i want to use a PLC to communicate with the modbus to execute the project.
Is it a good idea to use Ladder Logic to do my PLC programming? My robot uses integers (1,2,3,4) to identify which step it has to do, so am i able to somehow use integers in Ladder Logic? If yes, how may i do it? If no, other than using structured text, are there any other graphical methods i can use?
Thanks in advance!
