I was originally trained on Ladder in Allan Bradley, later moved on to Block and a Little SFC. I spent Two years translating programming out of IL (STL). I've played in python and java.

My Current Job is Almost all Instruction list but is over due to be re-written and standardized across all the PLC in our area. What is the best language to Write in?

I'm not a big fan of S7 networks as far as ladder goes and I don't mind FB but I believe all functions should be written in ST just to keep "certain peoples" fingers out of it. In theory we should never have maintenance people in the program.

What are your thoughts?
