Second IEEE International Conference on Engineering of Complex Computer Systems (ICECCS'96)
Virtual Reality - An Approach to Improve the Generation of Fault-Free Software for Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC)
Montreal, CANADA
October 21-October 25
ISBN: 0-8186-7614-0
Software development for programmable logical controllers is usually based on low-level languages such as the instruction list or the ladder diagram. At the same time, the programmer looks at a machine or an assembly system in a bit-oriented way; he translates the operational sequences into logical and/or time based combinations of binary signals described by the means of Boolean algebra. This classical method causes a lot of problems in reality so it should be improved. It is the aim of the report to show a way developing PLC-software graphically and interactively within a Virtual Reality (VR) based system (VPLC).
Index Terms:
