PLC Automation Consultancy & Training | Liam Bee
Learn PLC automation properly, through structured courses, deep technical guides, and industrial consultancy.
A discussion on UDTs, InOut interfaces and cross referencing in Siemens TIA Portal. Are the limitations a deal breaker, or are the benefits of asset oriented programming and reusable libraries…
Learn how the Siemens TIA Portal FILL instruction works and where it is most useful. This companion guide to the video covers clearing data blocks, resetting structures, memory alignment, and…
This week’s question is a little different to the usual technical deep dives. Instead of talking about software features or PLC behavior, I was asked a much more personal question…
As projects grow, UDTs tend to multiply quickly. What starts as a handful of clean, well named types can turn into a long, flat list that is difficult to navigate…
SIMATIC AX is one of the clearest signs of where Siemens wants PLC engineering to go. The more useful questions are what AX actually changes, where it still falls short…
As PLC programs grow, data blocks often evolve organically. New variables get added wherever there is space, types get mixed together, and before long the memory layout becomes messy. Someone…
A practical quiz-based SCL article with 20 execution-order questions covering overwrites, timers, state logic, feedbacks, and data typing, designed to help PLC engineers read structured text in the same order…
As projects grow and evolve, engineers naturally look for better ways to reuse proven logic, review old configurations, and avoid opening multiple heavy projects at the same time. One feature…
When you build reusable function blocks in TIA Portal, small workflow optimisations can make a massive difference to project speed and consistency. One of the most overlooked features is the…
