Does the software RSLogix to provide an environment where you can use Structure Text (ST) to program a PLC instead of using ladder logic. I am hoping to be able to quickly learn how to program a PLC but hope not to have to learn Ladder Logic, or at least save it to a future time where I have more time. The reason I am interested in using ST is because someone told me its similar to C or C++ or Pascal or Fortran which I already have used. Anyway, the PLC I am hoping to get this on is SLC 5/04. Appreciate your help.
RSLogix to program in Structure Text language?

Structured text is available in RSLogix 5000 for it's supported platforms (ControlLogix, CompactLogix etc.) I'm just using it for the first time on a CompactLogix processor, and so far so good.
However, for an SLC 5/04, you'll be using RSLogix 500, and only ladder is available.
