CUBLOC Studio 5.0: Completely Rebuilt After 25 years of updates and countless patches, we decided it was time to rebuild CUBLOC Studio from the ground up. We developed CUBLOC Studio 5.0, an integrated development environment for CUBLOC BASIC and Ladder Logic, entirely from scratch using .NET 10 and a modern 64-bit architecture. The biggest change is at its core: newly developed BASIC and Ladder compilers. Two compilation modes let you choose the right approach for your project: Normal Mode &md …

Ladder logic is a diagram-based programming language commonly used in PLC systems. If you’ve only worked with traditional programming languages like C or BASIC, ladder logic can feel unfamiliar—and honestly, a bit intimidating at first. Because of that, many people give up before they even start. But here’s a fun fact most people don’t realize: You already learned ladder logic back in middle school. A Circuit You Already Understand Think about the most basic electrical …

CUBLOC was released in 2004, a full year before Arduino entered the market. It is a product entirely developed by COMFILE Technology, from the compiler to the firmware. Unlike many platforms that rely on third-party toolchains or operating layers, CUBLOC was designed as a complete, vertically integrated system from the ground up. A Well-Engineered Firmware at the Core The greatest strength of CUBLOC lies in its well-designed built-in firmware, often described as an interpreter or even a lightwei …

CUBLOC Application: Customer-Designed Base Board with CB405RT Below is a real-world example of a customer-designed base board using the CB405RT CUBLOC core module.  What is a CUBLOC-based custom control board? A CUBLOC-based custom control board is a customer-designed base PCB that uses a CUBLOC core module, such as the CB405RT, as its main controller. Instead of using a ready-made PLC or a bare MCU board, customers design a base board that includes only the interfaces and I/O they actuall …
