This paper describes the methodology of an IEC 1131-3-based control logic generator for the control system design and converting algorithm between programmable languages. The proposed control logic generator is generated based on the software model and common element with data type, variables, POUs(program organization unit) and execution control unit commonly used within programmable languages of IEC 1131-3 Standard. The generation method of object file was proposed on five programmable language based on IECI 131-3. The generation method of object file is represented as following; 1) the generation method using conversion algorithm from LD to IL with FBD(function block diagram), 2) the generation method using C code generation algorithm from SFC using the SFC execution sequence with FBD and ST(structured text). The proposed control logic generator was implemented by Visual C++ and MFC on MS-windows NT 4.0

The PLC programming by IEC1131-3 is hard to handle to ordinary users as well as professionals. Also it has not a generality, so that it couldn't be debugging some logic errors easily. In order to be adapted for such environment, In this paper, I have developed the ISPLC(Intelligent Agent System based Software Programmable Logic Controller). In ISPLC system, LD programmed by a user is converted to the C code which can be used in a commercial editor such as Visual C++. The detection of logical errors in C code is more effective than PLC programming itself. ISPLC provides the GUI-based interface in web environment and an easy programming platform to such beginners as well as professionals. The study of code conversion of LD to IL as well as IL to C is firstly tried in the world as well as KOREA. To show the effectiveness of the developed system, I applied it to a practical case, a real time traffic control system. ISPLC is minimized the error debugging and programming time owing to be supported by windows application programs.

최근의 PLC는 Ethernet 통신, Field Bus등 새로운 통신규약에 호환성을 갖고 있으며 점점 빠른 연산 속도의 초소형 PLC로 발전해 나가고 있고 공장 자동화와 FMS(Flexible Manufacturing System)에 따른 PLC의 요구는 과거 중규모 이상의 릴레이 제어반 대체 효과에서 현재 고기능화, 고속화의 추세로 소규모 정작 기계에서 대규모 시스템 설비에 이르기까지 적용되고 있다. 그러나 현재 사용되고 있는 PLC는 각 제조사마다 하드웨어형식은 유사하지만 소프트웨어형식인 제어 명령어들이 다르기 때문에 각각의 PLC마다 호환이 되지 않는다는 문제점을 가지고 있어 이 제어 명령어들의 호환성을 위한 솔루션이 필요하다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문은 IEC1131-3의 표준 언어를 중심으로 제어할 수 있는 Mo-aPLC라는 모바일 에이전트 기반의 softPLC시스템을 제안하였다. 이 시스템은 모바일 에이전트들이 지적 대리인으로서 IEC1131-3의 표준 언어를 제어시스템 제작자에게 활용되어 질 수 있는 코드인 IL언어로 변환하고 이를 랭귀지 프로그래머가 활용할 수 있는 코드인 표준 C코드로 변환하는 것이다. 이 시스템으로 인해 제어시스템 제작자와 랭귀지 프로그래머들이 활용할 수 있는 코드들이 생성되는 것과 표준 C코드로 변환함으로서 논리적인 디버깅(dubugging)이 용이하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 국내에서 상용화되고 있는 삼성전자의 SPC-10의 IEC1131-3 표준 언어(LD, SFC, FBD, ST)가 상호 호환성을 갖도록 목적 언어인 IL로 변환하여 컴파일 될 수 있는 IL 컴파일러를 개발하고자 한다. 개발하려는 IL 컴파일러는 IL언어의 활용성을 매우 높여주며, 실제네트워크 디바이스에 다운로드 하여 사용할 수 있는 IL 언어를 생성하고 실행시키는 점이 특징이다. 이 시스템은 SPC-10에서 많이 사용되는 언어를 패턴인식에 의해 클러스터링하여 자동적으로 IL 언어로 변환이 되며, 컴파일에 의해 PLC 프로그램의 동작이 가능하다. 이 시스템에서는 또한 사용자가 발생할 수 있는 문법오류는 물론 논리오류를 지능적 에이전트에 의해 검색하여 수정함으로써 최적화된 환경에서 PC 기반 제어가 가능하도록 해준다.

Recently, PC-based control is incredibly developed in the industrial control field, but it is difficult for PLC programming in PC. Therefore, I need to develop the softeware PLC, which support the international PLC programming standard(IECl131-3) and can be applied to diverse control system by using C language. In this paper, I have developed the ISPLC(Intelligent Agent System based Software Programmable Logic Controller). In ISPLC system, LD programmed by a user which is used over $90\%$ among the 5 PLC languages, is converted to IL, which is one of intermediate codes, and IL is converted to the standard C rode which can be used in a commercial editor such as Visual C++. In ISPLC, the detection of logical error in high level programming(C) is more eaier than PLC programming itself The study of code conversion of LD->IL->C is firstly tried in the world as well as KOREA. I developed an execution engine with a good practical application. To show the effectiveness of the developed system, 1 applied it to a practical case, a real time traffic control(RT-TC) system. ISPLC is minimized the error debugging and programming time owing to be supported by windows application program.
