    Structured text (ST) is a recognized programming language within the IEC standard and is becoming more frequently used within automation. The ST language is a stripped-down version of C or C++ computer programming language. The syntax is very similar, so if you are familiar with one of the C languages, the ST language would feel very comfortable.

    Structured Text (ST) Structured text is a text based language that more closely resembles traditional computer programming languages. The syntax can be described as a stripped-down version of C++. This makes it more familiar for those with a background in software engineering who may not have experience with PLCs specifically.
