PART 2: Binary And Digital Operations (Printed version)

In this book (PART 2) we will get familiar with basic binary and digital operations that enable us to create a basic program within the requirements of an actual problem (with Siemens S7-1500 and S7-1200 PLC and TIA Portal). In this book we will also cover the basics of program blocks and how to organize our code within these blocks.
