The company I am doing my intership/appretinceship in, does mainly PLC programming with Siemens modules. Comes from the fact that most of the people were electric guys and switched over to engineering.
My problem as newbie there is, that I can't be really efficient and fast when I code PLC software.
Even though I am very efficient when I am coding C# or Java in VS/Eclipse
It really bothers that I can't be really productive with PLC as opposed to the "real" programming languages.
- Is it the lack of code completion?
- Is it the lack of overall knowledge on the automation side?
- Is it the lack of innovation in PLC as opposed to VS (LINQ, Dynamics, Lambda)
Have you guys any good experience with PLC? And how did you get productive with it?
Notice: It is my last year at the company, that's also why I want to be very productive.
Looking forward to many great answers!
