When debugging scripts you may want to alter the state of a variable to see the effect it has on the code. Until v2408 this was only...

A noise generator by definition produces a random signal. In the software world this usually means generating pseudo-random numbers. One...

As the name suggests this is a device that measures frequency. It counts the number of pulses in a periodic signal per second. Internally...

The classic way to communicate with a PLC is to exchange tags with it. The tags are handled on each PLC cycle. This implies that tags can...

Expressions are language entities just like statements. The main difference is that expressions should be evaluated in order to calculate...

Statements that allow you to direct the execution of the program into alternative sequences of statements are known as control...

Sometimes all you need is a simple indication telling you the state of the device you are dealing with. Power indicator of you will. It...

PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) controllers are often used in feedback loops where temperature, pressure, speed flow and other...

Seven segment displays are often thought of as a single display but still they consist of seven individual LEDs that have to be...

Introducing delays is often needed in behavior modeling. Delays are usually required by the external circuit before which the data has to...

Debugging is never a trivial task. You need a way to stop the execution of the code and examine the state inside. Usually this involves...

In this post I would like to talk about type systems. You may have never heard this term before but it is an essential part of every...

Materials are used in every production line. These are goods of any kind needed to make the final product. It is also important to...

As written on the official site (https://fmi-standard.org/) FMI is a free standard that defines an interface for exchanging dynamic...

Counters? Isn't this just a variable of type INT? Why do they need special attention? Well if you have ever used a step counter you...

Types are good. They provide meaning to variables, arguments and functions by defining the set of operations that can be applied to them....

Recently I was asked for such an example from customers so I decided to make a post out of it. Interestingly they struggle implementing...
