ST Generator

PLC Structure Text Generator

Recently I wrote a code generator for rotary index drive based control.

This generator helps generate the label declaration, manual control code, even the simple flow process for each station.

By all these process done, it generated more than half code in a cylinder based control project, all you need to do is to optmize the flow control for each station.

Generate code:

Generate workflow:

It’s all based on cylinders, so if we got a station with 3 cylinders like this:

Name	Type	Group
Down	FbCylinder2x1y	St8
Forward	FbCylinder2x1y	St8
Clamp	FbCylinder0x1y	St8

it generate code below:

With flow process like this:

Name	State	Group
Down	on	St1
Clamp	on	St1
Down	off	St1
Forward	on	St1
Down	on	St1
Clamp	off	St1
Down	off	St1

it generate code below:
