Overview

Randomized trial shows improved efficiency in PLC development, indicating benefits for industry applications.

Key Points

  • This work aims to explore a model-based design framework for developing real-time control software for PLCs.
  • Developed a structured workflow using Simulink and TwinCAT for real-time systems.
  • Employed hierarchical bus object design and Stateflow-based supervisory state machine for modeling.
  • Validated integration of TcCOM module within TwinCAT 3 XAE using simulation and External Mode.
  • Demonstrated reduction in manual coding effort and enhanced traceability between specification and implementation.
  • Achieved deterministic 1 ms cycle execution in hard real-time scenarios, confirming approach viability.
  • Addressed challenges in temporal logic interpretation and observability during industrial deployment.
