PLC를 사용한 제어 시스템을 설계할 때 여러 종류의 표준언어중 LD언어가 가장 많이 사용되지만, SFC를 사용하면 제어의 흐름을 알기 쉽고 유지보수가 용이하며, 프로그램의 기술성이 뛰어나다. 그러나 SFC 언어는 조건처리시 큰 메모리를 요구한다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 SFC로 설계된 시스템은 자기진단기능을 부가하려면 메모리가 상당히 커야 하고, 속도가 늦은 단점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 자기진단 기능을 효율적으로 처리하는 방법을 제시하고, 실례를 통해 타당성을 확인하였다.

Modern manufacturing systems consist of highly automated manufacturing devices, and they are controlled by complicated PLC programs. To make sure the achievement of the control objectives of a manufacturing system, it is very important to monitor the dynamic system behaviors of the manufacturing system. In this paper, we propose a monitoring methodology of a PLC program based on the Software In the Loop Simulation(SILS), which makes use of the time gap information between PLC signals. The errors relevant with PLC signals can be found using the proposed methodology, comparing a normal PLC signal trajectory with a target PLC signal trajectory. The proposed methodology has been implemented and tested with simple examples.

Agile and flexible manufacturing systems make it mandatory that a control program should have features such as agility, flexibility, and reusability in order to run manufacturing unit smoothly. PLCs are the most frequently used control program in manufacturing systems. PLC programs are mostly programmed by subcontraction, which makes correction of code very difficult. As a result, it may cause delay during down time and ramp up time which leads to big loss of revenue and goodwill. To prevent delay during the times, this paper proposes systematic process analysis and application method for programmable logic controller like LLD (Ladder Logic Diagram). The proposed method uses modified human-error investing techniques for documentation and transforming technique to program LLD from the documentation. Furthermore, this paper demonstrates an example of piston mechanism to explain the proposed method.

Recently, many enterprises are installing AMSs(Automated Manufacturing Systems) for their competitive advantages. As the level of automation increases, proper design and validation of control logic is a imperative task for the successful operation of AMSs. However, current discrete event simulation methods mainly focus on the performance evaluation. As a result, they lack the modeling capabilities for the detail logic of automated manufacturing system controller. Proposed in this paper is a method of validation of the controller logic for automated material handling system using an object-oriented design and simulation. Using this method, FA engineers can validate the controller logic easily in earlier stage of system design, so they can reduce the time for correcting the logic errors and enhance the productivity of control program development Generated simulation model can also be used as a communication tool among FA engineers who have different experiences and disciplines.

정형명세기법은 안전최우선시스템 소프트웨어의 안전성을 일정 수준 이상 보장할 수 있는 기법으로서, 원자력 발전소의 디지털 제어시스템의 개발에 사용되고 있다. 정형명세기법 NUSCR로부터 Programmable Logic Controller(PLC) 시스템을 구현하기 위한 소프트웨어인 Function Block Diagram(FBD) 프로그램을 자동으로 생성하는 기법[1]이 개발되었으나, 이를 지원하는 자동화 도구가 없어 이 기법이 널리 사용되지 못하였다. 본 논문에서는 이어 자동생성 기법을 지원하기 위하여 개발된 자동화 도구 NuSCRtoFBD를 소개한다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 NuSCRtoFBD 도구를 사용하여 NuSCR로부터 FBD를 자동생성 함으로써, 기존의 수동 프로그래밍 작업에서 발생했던 다수의 오류들을 줄일 수 있다.

PLC 제어 시스템은 SFC 언어를 사용하여 설계할 경우, SFC 언어를 사용하면 제어의 흐름을 이해하기 쉽고, 유지보수가 용이하며 프로그램의 기술성이 뛰어나다. SFC 언어는 단일 시퀀스, 선택 시퀀스, 병렬 시퀀스로 나누어지며, 선택 시퀀스로 프로그래밍 하면 단일 시퀀스로 프로그램할 때보다 메모리의 크기가 커져야 한다. 본 논문에서는 선택 시퀀스의 기능을 단일 시퀀스로 구현하여 메모리의 크기를 줄여서 메모리의 효율을 향상시키는 방법을 제시하고, 실례를 통해 타당성을 확인하였다.

In this paper, a scheduling algorithm is proposed for a programmable logic controller(PLC) with remote I/Os, assuming the multi-tasking facilities. Since sequence programs are executed on the application processor and I/O data are transmitted by the network processor concurrently, the proposed algorithm schedules the data transmission as well as the sequence program execution. The suggested algorithm guarantees the bounded WCRT(worst case response time), which is the one third of the WCRT in the absence of scheduling. Computer simulation shows that the algorithm can be easily applied to a real PLC without critical constraints on utilization of resources and inter-relation among tasks.

The faults diagnosis of machine tool, which is controlled by CNC(Computer Numerical Control) and PLC(Programmable Logic Controller), is generally based on ladder diagram of PLC because sequential controls for CNC and servo motor are mostly processed in PLC. However, when fault is occurred, a searching of logical relationship for fault reasons is required a lot of diagnosis experiences and times because PLC program has step structure. In this paper, FDS(Fault Diagnosis System) is developed and implemented to machine tool with open architecture controller in order to find the reason of fault fast and correctly. The diagnosed reasons for fault are remote serviced on web through developed RSS(Remote Service System). The operationability and usefulness of developed system are evaluated on specially manufactured machine tool with open architecture CNC. The results of this research can be the model of remote monitoring and fault diagnosis system of machine tool with open architecture CNC.

This paper is a technical review of the research and development results of the Korea Nuclear Instrumentation and Control System (KNICS) project and Nu-Tech 2012 program. In these projects man-machine interface system architecture, two digital platforms, and several control and protection systems were developed. One platform is a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) for a digital safety system and another platform is a Distributed Control System (DCS) for a non-safety control system. With the safety-grade platform PLC, a reactor protection system, an engineered safety feature-component control system, and reactor core protection system were developed. A power control system was developed based on the DCS. A logic alarm cause tracking system was developed as a man-machine interface for APR1400. Also, Integrated Performance Validation Facility (IPVF) was developed for the evaluation of the function and performance of developed I&C systems. The safety-grade platform PLC and the digital safety system obtained approval for the topical report from the Korean regulatory body in February of 2009. A utility and vendor company will determine the suitability of the KNICS and Nu- Tech 2012 products to apply them to the planned nuclear power plants.

In this paper, an algorithm for PLC(Programmable Logic Controller) fault diagnosis system is proposed and experimentation is conducted with a PLC and a virtual plant. Wrong output backward tracking algorithm is proposed in order to find the external faults of PLC. And query with keywords of the fault systems and specially designed test sequence programs are used. We lay emphasis on the backward tracking algorithm to diagnose the faults of PLC. It is shown experimentally that the proposed algorithm can find the faults which a typical self diagnostics in the-commercially available PLC cannot.
