It was first published in December 1993 [1] by the IEC; the current (third) edition was published in February 2013. [2] Part 3 of IEC 61131 deals with basic software architecture and programming languages of the control program within PLC. It defines three graphical and two textual programming language standards: Ladder diagram (LD), graphical
Ladder logic was originally a written method to document the design and construction of relay racks as used in manufacturing and process control. [1] Each device in the relay rack would be represented by a symbol on the ladder diagram with connections between those devices shown.

A programmable logic controller (PLC) or programmable controller is an industrial computer that has been ruggedized and adapted for the control of manufacturing processes, such as assembly lines, machines, robotic devices, or any activity that requires high reliability, ease of programming, and process fault diagnosis.
Actuator Sensor Interface (AS-Interface or ASi) is an industrial networking solution (Physical Layer, Data access Method and Protocol) used in PLC, DCS and PC-based automation systems. It is designed for connecting simple field I/O devices (e.g. binary ON/OFF devices such as actuators, sensors, rotary encoders, analog inputs and outputs, push ...
A Feature Tree (sometimes also known as a Feature Model or Feature Diagram) is a hierarchical diagram that visually depicts the features of a solution in groups of increasing levels of detail. Feature Trees are great ways to summarize the features that will be included in a solution and how they are related in a simple visual manner. [2]
Now, with these symbols, a process can be represented as a network of these symbols. This decomposed process is a DFD, data flow diagram. Example of functional decomposition in a systems analysis. In Dynamic Enterprise Modeling a division is made in the Control model, Function Model, Process model and Organizational model.
