Hi everyone,
I'm pretty new to PLC's in general, and working on a project where I have to get familiar with the PLC compilation process (specifically we will be working with a Siemens S7-1200).
The main issue is that I'm having trouble finding information online about this topic. The most I've been able to find so far is that SCL gets translated to assembly-like STL which turns into machine-comprehensible MC7 instructions.
Are there any alternative or open-source compilers for S7 PLC programs (or just alternative PLC program compilers in general)? I'm hoping that something like this could help me understand the process better.
Also, if anyone can share any information related to how the compilation process works in general for PLC's (assembly, linking) I would greatly appreciate it!
Cheers,
Matt
