Greetings Maintenance Man ...
if you're working in "maintenance" mode, the question really becomes: "What am I going to run into?" ... certainly you need ladder logic - that's a given ...
now then ... if the original programmer also made use of any of the OTHER languages, then you'll need to understand those pieces of the puzzle too ... before you jump into the pool, the best course of action is to ask around and find out exactly what's being used in your plant (or your other areas of responsibility) ...
IF (that's a big IF) you really do need STX (for example), one good way to start getting a handle on it is to take a program with a few simple rungs of ladder logic and convert that program over to STX ... in other words, just make the processor "act the same" whether it's using one language or the other ... sort of like learning to say something simple in English (like "good morning") in Spanish, German, etc. ...
that approach will get you started ...
once you get that far along, post both versions of your program on the forum and we'll help you along the way ...
