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

IEC1131-3 Specification of Programming Controller is established in 1994 and consists of 3 graphical languages and 2 textual languages. It is used in PLC and small scale controller because of its uniformity and extensibility. This paper describes Soft Logic Designer which is a graphical and textual programming editor for IEC1131-3 programming languages. Soft Logic Designer is developed with Object Orient Language, C++ under Microsoft Windows 95. It has two graphic editors for Sequential Function Chart and Function Block Diagram and one textual editor for Structured Text. Users can efficiently write high-level programs with mouse and menu buttons.

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.

CNC machine tool is assembled by central processor, PLC(Programmable Logic Controller), and actuator. The sequential control of machine generally controlled by a PLC. The main fault occured at PLC in 3 control parts. In LC faults, operational fault is charged over 70%. This paper describes diagnosis model and data processing for remote monitoring and diagnosis system in machine tools with open architecture controller. Two diagnostic models based on the ladder diagram. Logical Diagnosis Model(LDM), Sequential Diagnosis Model(SDM), are proposed. Data processing structure is proposed ST(Structured Text) based on IEC1131-3. The faults from CNC are received message form open architecture controller and faults from PLC are gathered by sequential data.. To do this, CNC and PLC's logical and sequential data is constructed database.

In this paper, I developed an intelligent multi agents based softPLC(IMPLC). In IMPLC, the standard IEC 1131-3 PLC languages(LD, SFC, FBD, ST) programmed by a user are converted to IL, which is one of intermediate codes, in order to make them interactions. And then the IL is converted to the standard C code regarding some extension and transplanting, which can be used in a commercial editor such as visual C++. In IMPLC, the logical errors and syntax errors occurred by users are detected, so that the optimal PC control based softPLC can be possible. IMPLC provide easy programming platform to such beginner as well as professionals. The study of code conversion is firstly tried in the world as well as KOREA. I applied IMPLC to 3 steps conveyer belt system. The simulation results say that the debugging steps by IMPLC using multi agents are decreased than the conventional softPLC's.

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.

In this paper, we developed an editor and running engine for the SoftPLC. LD is the most popular standard IEC 1131-3 PLC language in Korea and used over 90% among the 5 PLC languages. In this paper, we have developed the ISPLC(Intelligent Agent System based Software Programmable Logic Controller). In ISPLC system, LD programmed by a user is converted to IL, which is one of intermediate codes, and IL is converted to the standard C code 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 efficient than PLC programming itself. ISPLC provide easy programming platform to such beginner as well as professionals. The study of code conversion of LD-> U->C is firstly tried in the world as well as KOREA.
