Recent advances in the programming standardisation and hardware development in the automation industry offer new possibilities for control engineering education. The IEC 61131 is nowadays widely used and there exist automatic code generators for high level simulation languages. The relatively cheap, but powerful hardware and the applicability of the programmable logic controller (PLC) to automation and complex control tasks make this combination a valuable tool for undergraduate and postgraduate control engineering classes. In this paper, the application of the model-based tool chain using Matlab/Simulink, IEC 61131 and a PLC is presented and applied to the well-known four-tank model as an experimental platform. Several educational examples used in linear and nonlinear control engineering classes are explained in detail and implemented in the hardware setup. Experimental results are shown and compared to simulation data.

Conventional simulators have focused on the abstract aspects of an automatic storage and retrieval system, which mainly deals with design verification, alternative comparison, and system diagnosis. Although such simulators can provide overall system visibility by monitoring how well the process works, the simulation models are not sufficiently realistic for detailed design and implementation purposes. To address this problem, we propose a method of control level simulation of an automatic storage and retrieval system in an automobile plant. The proposed method involves four major steps: (1) designing the process and layout for effective storage and retrieval;(2) abstract simulation of the automatic storage and retrieval system;(3) preparing the mechanical design to obtain three-dimensional kinematic models and the electrical design to produce a control program and a plant model;and (4) control level simulation of the automatic storage and retrieval system, including both manual mode and automode simulations via a human-machine interface. The major benefit of the proposed method is the reduction of the construction time and effort required to validate the programmable logic controller program of a real automatic storage and retrieval system, since potential errors can be detected and fixed before actual implementation.

In this study, a linear switched reluctance motor (LSRM) with 250 W, 6/4 poles, 3 phases, and 24 V was controlled with a programmable logic controller (PLC). Some parameters of the LSRM were set, and for PC monitoring, software developed by the authors was used. A serial port was used for communication between the PC and the PLC. The software was developed with Visual C#.Net 2008 for monitoring and controlling. This user interference allows for controlling of the motor's travelling distance with a running strategy. The first and second destination can be defined and the system provides that the motor operates between these points continuously. The phase and velocity currents of the motor were shown and curved with the software. The existing position of the motor and the number of pulses were determined and displayed with a linear incremental encoder. The windings of the motor phases were energized depending on their position using a classical bridge converter. This PLC-controlled LSRM study leads industrial practices and the educational sector to highlight the importance of linear motion, which is used in many implementations. Furthermore, all types of LSRMs can be used in the developed system.

In this article, a concurrent design procedure of a production system is presented, which supports the virtual commissioning between a real controller and a virtual plant consisting of virtual devices. To achieve the concurrency, we split a virtual device model into two parts, a physical device model (a geometric model with kinematics for the motion programming of tasks) and a logical device model (a behavioral model to interact with a real controller). The whole design procedure consists of four major steps: (1) process design, (2) physical device modeling, (3) logical device modeling, and (4) system control modeling. First, the process design step identifies effective manufacturing processes and produces the sequence of operations. Once the sequence of operations is obtained at Step 1, then the other three steps can be performed concurrently without interfering each other. All the three concurrent steps start from the sequence of operations, and a detailed procedure for each of the step has been developed. The concurrent attribute of the proposed design procedure significantly contributes to the saving of the delays in time to market. The proposed design procedure has been implemented and tested for various examples.

Software safety for nuclear reactor protection systems (RPSs) is the most important requirement for the obtainment of permission for operation and export from government authorities, which is why it should be managed with well-experienced software development processes. The RPS software is typically modeled with function block diagrams (FBDs) in the design phase, and then mechanically translated into C programs in the implementation phase, which is finally compiled into executable machine codes and loaded on RPS hardware - PLC (programmable logic controller). Whereas C Compilers are fully-verified COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) software, translators from FBDs to C programs are provided by PLC vendors. Long-term experience, experiments and simulations have validated their correctness and function safety. This paper proposes a behavior-preserving translation from FBD design to C implementation for RPS software. It includes two sets of translation algorithms and rules as well as a prototype translator. We used an example of RPS software in a Korean nuclear power plant to demonstrate the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed translation.

Conveyor belt system is one of the most common transfer systems used in industry to transfer goods from one point to another in a limited distance. It is used in industries such as the electro-mechanical/mechanical assembly manufacturing to transfer work piece from one station to another or one process to another in food industries. The belt conveyor system discussed in this paper is driven by a DC motor and two speed controllers. The PID speed controller is designed to provide comparison to the main controller which is the Adaptive Fuzzy PID Speed controller. Both controllers are implemented in a real hardware where the algorithm will be written in PLC using SCL language. The experimental result shows that Adaptive Fuzzy PID controller performs better and adapted to the changes in load much faster than the conventional PID controller. This project has also proved that PLC is capable of performing high level control system tasks.

programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are widely used in industry. PLC systems are reactive systems which run cyclically. In each cycle, the system state is checked and the program is executed once to determine the system behavior for a single cycle. Development of PLC systems conventionally follows the V-model, but increasing demand for efficiency and reliability requires a new rigorous and rapid design flow. In this paper, we propose a component-based formal modeling and synthesis method for cyclic execution platforms and apply it to PLC. Our method consists of three main phases: modeling, verification and code synthesis. In the modeling phase, the BIP (Behavior-Interaction-Priority) framework which is flexible and expressive is used as the modeling language. Real-time behavior, which is intensely concerned in PLC systems, can be modeled as well. In the verification phase, the system model is translated to timed automata and checked by UPPAAL Verification helps to ensure correctness of the model and further increases reliability of the implementation. In the code synthesis phase, the software part of the system model is extracted and synthesized to cyclic code. Although the PLC software runs cyclically, the software model is not necessarily given in a cyclic manner. We propose an algorithm which can generate high-performance cyclic code from a model which describes the business work-flow. This feature significantly simplifies program development. A set of tools is implemented to support our design flow and they are applied to an industrial case study for a PLC system that controls dozens of physical devices in a huge palace.

A conical tank in which the diameter changes with the tank height, allows the use of feedback control used in complex nonlinear systems, such as adaptive control. This project modified an existing system of two interacting tanks by inserting a removable solid cone into one of the tanks. This modification created two new nonlinear configurations, one of which had a discontinuity. Optimal controller settings at different depths of liquid were found by minimizing the integral of the absolute error (IAE). These settings were used by an adaptive PID controller at a different settings, comparing the results to a conventional PID tuned to that setting.

A new magnetic plate-type precision seeding production line and its control system were designed based on the magnetic seed-metering principle. The control system is consisted of DVP-40ES programmable logic controller and LJD-51-XB+ Mico controller Unit. The PLC control system controls the working flow of the production line. The MCU control system controls turnover movement of the sowing board and up-and-down movement of the seed case for whole tray seed-filling and sowing. Seeding tests for the magnetic powder coated rape seeds showed that the rate of single-seeding, over-seeding and miss-seeding were 90.2778%, 4.6875% and 5.0347% respectively. The seeding speed was 257 trays per hour, an average of each tray with 14s. It meets the requirements of precision seeding. The system design is reasonable and reliable.
