Sequential Function Chart(SFC) is very easy to grasp the sequential flow of control logic and has the compatability for a maintenance, In process control, when an error is occurred, to execute other routine by force, we control the process by remote control. In this paper, we proposed the method of select sequence control by remote control in process control designed by Sequential Function Chart(SFC).

Ladder Diagram(LD) is the most extensively used among Programmable Logic Controller(PLC) standard languages for the design of process control system with PLC. But LD has the disadvantages for data processing and maintenance. On the other hand, there is full support for describing sequences so that complete sequential behavior can be easily broken down using a concise graphical language called Sequential Function Chart(SFC). Inspite of those characteristics, SFC is not suitable for describing interlock logic. In this paper, we propose the method for implementing interlock logic by using conventional SFC compiler and verify the effectiveness by applying proposed scheme to the In-Line Spin Coater.Coater.

Modeling a discrete event system such as a sequential control system is difficult compared with a continuous system. Petri nets have been introduced as an analyzing and design tool for the discrete systems. One of the problems in its applications is that the model can not be analyzed easily in the case of large scale or complicated systems because of increase of the number of components of the system. To overcome this problem, some methods for dividing or reducing Petri nets have been suggested. In this paper, an approach for a hierarchical expression of Petri nets based on Sequential Function Chart(SFC) is proposed. A measuring tank system will be described as a typical kind of discrete systems. The system is modeled by sub Petri nets based on SFC in order to analyze and visualize efficiently about the dynamic behaviors of the system. Some numerical simulations using state equations are performed to prove the validity of the proposed method.

Petri nets have been introduced as a powerful analyzing and design tool for the discrete systems such as sequential control systems. However, one of the important problems in its applications is that the model can be analyzed hardly when we deal with large scale systems because of increase of the number of Petri net components. To overcome this problem, some methods for dividing or reducing of Petri net have been suggested. In this paper, an approach for hierarchical expression of Petri net based on Sequential function Chart(SFC) and Bottom Up oriented Mehodology(BUM) is proposed. Especially, some definitions and rules are defined in order to divide and compose sub Petri nets. A measuring tank system will be described as a typical kind of discrete systems and modeled by some sub Petri nets based on the SFC and BUM by the proposed method in this paper.

When we design the control system used Programmable Logic Controller(PLC), we program the main algorithm by Ladder Diagram(LD) in many standard language. But if we use an Sequential Function Chart(SFC), we is easy to know the sequential flow of control, to maintenance the controller and to describe a program. Even though a SFC have many merits, A SFC have some problems like a condition and a function of self test. Therefore this thesis show an efficient function of self test and we confirmed its feasibility through actual example.

Ladder Diagram(LD) is the most widely utilized among many sorts of existing programs using for the design of process control system. But it is very difficult to grasp sequential flow of control logic. In this paper, we proposed the method that we can control a lot of blocks. We used PLC in process control system. And, in order to design we used Sequential Function Chart(SFC). In this paper, we proposed the method of block contro. and confirmed feasibility through a simulation.

When we design the control system used Programmable Logic Controller(PLC) by Sequential Function Chart(SFC), if we use a SFC, it is easy to know the sequential flow of control, to maintenance the controller and to describe a program. We program a SFC by a unique sequence, an alternative sequence and a parallel sequence. If we program a SFC by a alternative sequence, the memory size of a alternative sequence must be larger than the memory size of a unique sequence. Therefore this thesis show an efficient method to reduce a memory size and we confirmed its feasibility through actual example.

Ladder Diagram(LD) is the most extensively used among PLC standard language for the design of control system. But LD has the disadvantages for data processing and maintenance. On the other hand, the Sequential Function Chart(SFC) graphic language is very powerful for describing the sequential logic control algorithm. SFC is based on flow chart, so control flow understanding is very easy and divergence can possible improving its ability. In this paper, we propose the efficient management elevator system using the action qualifiers and choice divergence. From the result, we confirm the SFC language reduced program memory capacity and processing time is faster than LD language.

Ladder Diagram(LD) or Sequential Function Chart(SFC) is used for the design of complex modern control system with Programmable logic controller(PLC). LD is the most widely utilized among PLC standard language. But recently, SFC is used frequently. SFC is very easy to grasp the sequential flow of control logic but is difficult for describing combinational logic. When the interrupt factor is occurred, the main program is stopped. And after the interrupt program is completed, the main program is restart. Therefore the more complex the interrupt program, the main program is interrupted downtime will be that much longer. In this paper, we propose the method for interrupt implementation without the dwell time of the main program by SFC language and confirm his feasibility through the simulation.
