  2. Programmable logic controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmable_logic_controller

    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.

  3. Function block diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_block_diagram

    Simple function block diagram. The function block diagram (FBD) is a graphical language for programmable logic controller design, [1] that can describe the function between input variables and output variables. A function is described as a set of elementary blocks. Input and output variables are connected to blocks by connection lines.

  4. Sequential function chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequential_function_chart

    Sequential function chart (SFC) is a visual programming language used for programmable logic controllers (PLCs). It is one of the five languages defined by IEC 61131-3 standard. The SFC standard is defined as Preparation of function charts for control systems , and was based on GRAFCET [ fr ] (itself based on binary Petri nets [ 1 ] [ 2 ] ).

  5. Structured text - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_text

    Structured text, abbreviated as ST or STX, is one of the five languages supported by the IEC 61131-3 standard, designed for programmable logic controllers (PLCs). [1] [2] It is a high level language that is block structured and syntactically resembles Pascal, on which it is based. [3] All of the languages share IEC61131 Common Elements. The ...

  6. Programmable logic device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmable_logic_device

    These AND gates, also known as product terms, are ORed together to form a sum-of-products logic array. A programmable logic device (PLD) is an electronic component used to build reconfigurable digital circuits. Unlike digital logic constructed using discrete logic gates with fixed functions, the function of a PLD is undefined at the time of ...

  7. Ladder logic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladder_logic

    Ladder logic is widely used to program PLCs, where sequential control of a process or manufacturing operation is required. Ladder logic is useful for simple but critical control systems or for reworking old hardwired relay circuits. As programmable logic controllers became more sophisticated it has also been used in very complex automation systems.

  8. call-with-current-continuation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call-with-current-continuation

    In the Scheme computer programming language, the procedure call-with-current-continuation, abbreviated call/cc, is used as a control flow operator. It has been adopted by several other programming languages. Taking a function f as its only argument, (call/cc f) within an expression is applied to the current continuation of the expression.

  9. Simatic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIMATIC

    SIMATIC is a series of programmable logic controller and automation systems, developed by Siemens.Introduced in 1958, the series has gone through four major generations, the latest being the SIMATIC S7 generation.
