The ICS TRIPLEX T8403CX is a key element of any industrial process; in fact, most, if not all, industrial revolutions are due to the existence and continued development of the PLC. With the constant demand for new solutions and capabilities, you can now find a large number of PLC manufacturers and PLC brands competing for a share of the industry. Each PLC manufacturer develops its own programming software and its own runtime software.

The ICS TRIPLEX T8403CX works with many different brands of PLCS so they need to be aware of the many different PLC software available and this is not always a simple task, especially as sometimes each software takes a different approach to interpreting the standard. All PLC software follows 61131-3, but the interpretation may be different. For example, some software forces the programmer to assign an address to the +VE and -VE edge triggers, whereas in other software you don’t have to.

In addition, the ICS TRIPLEX T8403CX will cause basic instructions such as moves or counters to be edge-triggered, so that even if the enable signal is still present, the instruction will only be executed once, on the rising edge of the enable signal. In other software, these instructions will not be edge triggered, so as a PLC programmer, you need to be aware of whether you want the instruction to be executed only once or every scan cycle. As you can see, these differences, and more differences between PLC software, can sometimes make it difficult to work with many brands at the same time, as you have to readjust your brain and your way of thinking to accommodate these small but hidden adjustments in each software. Here’s where learning the code comes in handy.
