Siemens Step7 pointer

[TurpoUrpo]

Its good to learn and then try to avoid as much as is feasible.

Some stuff just has to be done with pointers. Less with s7-1500 than with -300/400.

In your defense, I've met people who have been doing Siemens for years who have never done anything in STL at all, and especially not pointers. Usually they're specifically avoiding it.



It's definitely an advanced skill. Good on you for wanting to learn.

If you have SCL additional license for step7, it is usually simpler than indirect STL.
