 PLC Programming stands for Programmable Logic Controller Programming. It is a method of programming industrial control systems using a specialized computer. The first step of programming any PLC is to wire it correctly. After identifying the wiring diagram, begin laying out the industry standard terminal blocks around the PLC on the DIN rail. Build the wiring and double-check it. Once the wiring has been double-checked and the PLC is booting correctly, begin installing programs using a language such as Ladder Logic 

There are several programming languages used in PLC Programming. The most popular ones are:

1. Ladder Diagram (LD): This is the most commonly used language in PLC Programming. It is based on relay logic and is used to program PLCs for industrial control applications123.
2. Structured Text (ST): This is a high-level programming language that is similar to Pascal. It is used to program complex algorithms and mathematical operations.
3. Function Block Diagrams (FBD): This language is based on the graphical representation of functions  and their interconnections. It is used to program complex control systems.
4. Sequential Function Charts (SFC): This language is based on the graphical representation of sequential control systems. It is used to program complex control systems.
5. Instruction Lists (IL): This language is based on a list of instructions that are executed sequentially. It is used to program simple control systems.
