Introduction:
The programming of SAIA PCD’s is based on a very powerful instruction set
which is implemented in every PCD.
Note: Unlike other products, the different SAIA PCD’s products all use the same
instructions. Therefore you can port program files without problems from one
PCD type to the other.
The instruction list editor “S-Edit” will not only help you edit your programs, it
also includes a whole range of powerful troubleshooting and online visualisation
functions which will be a topic at the end of the chapter.
You’ll learn the very basics of PG5 programming in this chapter. You’ll also learn
how to debug your program once it runs on your PCD.
Don’t start this chapter before reading chapter 3. “PCD Resources”.
