We will be using TIA Portal v17, but you can use any other version. To follow along with this tutorial, you will need an installation of TIA Portal. The purpose is to show how these instructions can be used in a real application. In this tutorial, we will explore the basic instructions available in the Siemens environment (defined by the IEC 61131-3 standard) by programming a simple box sorting machine in LADDER in TIA Portal. This makes it a great starting point for those who want to start practicing PLC programming.
Siemens offers one of the most intuitive and user-friendly development environments.
