We believe SPLat’s programming language is the easiest in the world for embedded OEM control applications. SPLat’s language was originally devised, and has evolved over time, with embedded machine control<\/em> as its main driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The example below shows off just a few of the language features that make SPLat so easy for control programming. Compared to C, Basic<\/strong> and other general purpose computer languages, SPLat focusses on those language elements that are important for programing controls<\/em>, which is very different to general computing. SPLat lets you express the concepts of logic, sequence and time quickly and easily. Compared to ladder<\/strong>, SPLat lets you tell the controller what to do<\/em>, rather than what to be<\/em> (in ladder you emulate a circuit made up of relays, timers etc, so in reality you are designing a circuit that will solve the problem rather than simply solving the problem directly).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

… You compare, you decide!<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

In the two side-by-side windows below you can compare the same program written in several languages that are used for programming controls. Just click on the language names to select.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
