How to Blink Lights in Structured Text

Hey Controls Champions!

Welcome back for another video. Today we’re making lights blink using structured text in another installment of our PLC Programming Cookbook series. If you haven’t seen our video on the same topic using ladder logic, check it out below!

In this video, we cover the “timer on” instruction, how they work on the inside, how to use them for blinking a light, and how to reuse this code throughout a larger program. We also make some comparisons to how the same program would be written in ladder logic to help you see how the languages compare.
