The programmable logic controller(PLC) programming has been manually carried out, which might cause the productivity decrease by omission and repetition of instruction. Recently, the knowledge-based automatic programming system is introduced. In the system, input/output(I/O) addresses are input by user. In this study, we developed the prototype system for automatic I/O addressing using knowledge-based technology, With the developed system, the PLC addressing task can he consistently and effectively performed.

In this paper, we present the application of knowledge-based system technique for generating of PLC ladder diagram The developed prototype system receives a time chart as an input and generates a ladder logic as its output This results in the computerization and intellegent processing of PLC programming. The system can be effectively applied to sequence control where the PLC programs need to be frequently changed and generated.

IEC1131-3의 PLC(Programmable Logic Controller) 프로그래밍 언어는 프로그래밍이 복잡하여 디버깅이 어려우며 범용성이 없을 뿐 아니라 국내는 PC기반 소프트웨어 PLC 연구개발이 매우 미약하다. 따라서 본 논문은 국제 PLC 표준언어로 제정된 5가지 언어 중 국내에서 90%이상을 사용하고 있는 PLC 언어인 LD언어에 대한 표준규격을 연구하고, LD를 기존 상용화된 편집기(Visual C++)에서 활용 가능한 C코드로 변환하여 LD에 익숙한 사용자나 고급언어에 익숙한 사용자 모두 사용할 수 있는 지능적 에이전트 기반의 통합 시스템 ISPLC(Intelligent Agent System based Software Programmable Logic Controller)를 개발하였다. ISPLC에서는 LD에서보다 C에서 논리오류 검출기능이 훨씬 효율적이며, GUI 기반 인터페이스를 제공하며 에이전트에 의한 프로그래밍 코드를 제공한다. ISPLC는 초보자는 물론 PLC에 익숙한 사용자들에게도 효율적인 프로그래밍 플랫폼을 제공한다. 이러한 LD에서 IL로, IL에서 C로의 코드변환체제에 관한 연구는 국내외적으로 처음 시도되는 연구이다. ISPLC를 실제 실시간 교통량 제어 시스템에 적용하여 시뮬레이션한 결과 ISPLC가 오류검색 뿐 아니라 프로그래밍 시간을 기존 소프트에어 PLC에 비해 단축시켜줌을 알 수 있었다.

This paper proposes a machine vision module for PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers). PLC is the industrial controller most widely used in factory automation system. However most of the machine vision systems are based on PC (Personal Computer). The machine vision system embedded in PLC is required to reduce the cost and improve the convenience of implementation. In this paper, we newly propose a machine vision module based on PLC. The image processing libraries are implemented and integrated with the PLC programming tool. In order to interface the libraries with ladder programming, the ladder instruction set was also designed for each vision library. By use of the developed system, PLC users can implement vision systems easily by ladder programming. The developed system was applied to sample inspection system to verify the performance. The experimental results show that the proposed system can reduce the cost of installing as well as increase the ease-of-implementation.

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.

원격기반 실시간 PLC 교육시스템은 인터넷을 이용한 e-laboratory 학습 시스템으로 실습실 환경에 시간적, 공간적으로 유연성을 제공하는 차세대 실습시스템으로 부각되고 있다. 본 시스템의 특정은 비교적 저가의 PLC를 이용하여 구축되었으며 저가의 일반 PC 카메라를 이용한 영상피드백 프로그램의 개발로 시스템 구축비용을 최소화 하였다. 실습 환경과 결과를 실시간 영상피드백으로 감시 할 수 있도록 하여, 인터넷 이용 실습이라는 흥미유발로 학습효과를 높일 수 있었으며, 실습에 직접 참여하지 않는 다수의 다른 학생들에게 동시에 실습 모니터링을 할수 있는 기회를 제공하였다.

There are two main problems in the current PLC ladder programming practices: First, currently there are no widely adopted systematic design methods to deal with PLC based control systems in the shop floor. So, the control logic design phase is usually omitted in current PLC programming development life cycle. Second, PLC ladder logic provides only microscopic view of system processes. As a result, it is difficult for FA engineers to have overall perspectives about the interaction of system components intuitively during the verification step of logic errors. To solve these problems, this paper proposed object-oriented design and automatic generation method of PLC ladder logic. Based on the proposed method, the computer software to assist the automatic ladder logic generation is also developed.

Plant controller using VME bus is developed. This controller is a PLC designed to control up to 768 I/O units of POSFA PLC which has been developed already by POSCON. In many programming aspects, it adopts IEC 1131, international standard of PLC programming to keep up with international trends. A system software and a controller architecture including CPU board, DSP board and bus extension board are developed to support the IEC 1131, and becomes a base of E.I. controller being developed now.
