Mind Map of Structured Text (ST Language) PLC Programming Books!

Why do I need to write another book titled “Practical Guide to ST Structured Text Language PLC Programming” as I discussed earlier?

After mentioning this idea, it is quite a challenge for me personally. Once completed, I hope it can truly help the engineers who are working hard in the field of PLC programming! Therefore, I feel a bit apprehensive and must invest more in preliminary knowledge and summarize my past work related to ST language programming.

Summary of Structured Text Programming (ST Language) Manuals for Mitsubishi PLCs

Collection of ST Language Learning Materials

Many friends have been concerned about the progress during this time, and I sincerely thank everyone for their attention and support!

One friend suggested to first share a directory for review, which is basically similar to the already published ST-related books, but our focus is on practical applications, so we need more practical cases and examples as one of the core contents of the book.

AI Summary

We know that AI currently has outstanding summarization capabilities. For me personally, it is unrealistic to read all the materials, so I invited several AIs to provide their professional opinions:

The main models in the above image are:

1. Grok 4 Fast (free)
2. DeepSeek V3.1 (free)
3. Nemotron Nano 9B V2 (free)
4. Gemini 2.0 Flash Experimental (free)
5. Gemma 3n 2B (free)
6. GLM 4.5 Air (free)
7. Hunyuan A13B Instruct (free)
8. Deep seek R1 (free)

Of course, all are free, so if you can avoid costs, do so!

Mind Map Introduction

Comparing the methods of the above models, overall they are commendable and helpful for the framework of the book, as no friend can provide such detailed content:

No1. Grok 4 (X.ai Musk)

We imported the above answers into the mind map:

No2. GLM 4.5 Air (Z.AIZhizhu)

The text is too long, but the clarity of this model is still good:

No3. Gemini 2.0 (Google)

This large model is also quite organized, and the summarized mind map is as follows:

Conclusion

No matter how powerful AI is, it still relies on past knowledge bases for its answers, and it cannot compare to our engineers who have practical experience on-site. Therefore, for the directory outline of the ST programming guide or specific example requirements, please leave a message in the comment area!

Currently, to do this well, I have already collected materials on 5G and am working on a Siemens SCL programming project. After all, there are many users of Siemens PLCs, so I am summarizing and editing practical projects combining CODESYS platform ST programming and TIA’s SCL programming. It will take time to refine, and if you have any good suggestions, please leave a message!
