자동화 제조 시스템을 위한 PLC 제어 로직의 신속 실행

As business environments are rapidly changing, the manufacturing system must be flexible to adapt to various customer needs. In order to cope with this challenge, it is quintessential to design and execute industrial control logic rapidly and easily during the life cycle of manufacturing system. The aim of proposed rapid execution prototyping method for the validation of industrial control logic is to improve limitations of existing control logic programming and validation methods. By proposed method, PLC control logic can be rapidly executed prior to its real implementation to evaluate the influence of changes in manufacturing system structure. Control logic is designed and executed using UML (Unified Modelling Language) activity diagram without considering complicated control behaviour, and is integrated with plant layout model using HMI package to investigate logic errors visually.
