PLC Programming with Signal Interpreted Petri Nets
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a graphical editor to design Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) programs using Signal Interpreted Petri Nets (SIPN) is presented. SIPN are an extension of condition event Petri nets that allow the handling of input and output signals. The presented tool, SIPN Editor, has been developed using DiaGen which is an environment for rapidly developing diagram editors from a formal specification of the diagram language. The SIPN Editor supports the translation of SIPN into input code for the model checker SMV. Using SMV, the SIPN can be verified before it is automatically translated into Instruction List code according to the IEC 61131-3 standard. This code can be downloaded on nearly every PLC.

The paper presents an approach which combines the formalism of Petri Nets and of model checking in order to deliver correct and dependable PLC programs. Based on SIPNs, a variant of PNs, the complete controller development process from an informal specification to the final implementation on a PLC is discussed. The SIPN formalized according to corresponding plant model enables the derivation of...
متن کاملEditing, Visualizing, and Implementing Signal Interpreted Petri Nets
In this paper we present a new tool for editing, visualizing, and implementing Signal Interpreted Petri Nets (SIPNs). SIPNs are used to formally specify control algorithms for Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). The presented tool allows to automatically transform a graphically edited SIPN into PLC code using the standardized PLC language Instruction List. The tool was implemented using DiaG...
متن کاملHierarchical Design of Logic Controllers Using Signal Interpreted Petri Nets
Logic Controllers are often used to control continuous or hybrid processes. In these cases, the connection to the plant is realized by implementing preand postprocessors for the conversion between analog and binary data. Hence, the controller remains purely discrete. However, the preand post-processors can not be included in the controller analysis. To overcome this problem, Signal Interpreted ...
متن کاملVisual PLC-Programming using Signal Interpreted Petri Nets
In this contribution we present a graphical programming approach for Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) based on a special type of Petri net, the Signal Interpreted Petri Net (SIPN). We give an introduction to PLCs and an overview on the languages used to program them. From this overview we conclude, that for PLCs a language is missing that is capable of the simple graphical description of s...
