Abstract

UML is a modeling language commonly used in contemporary software or system development. Using UML models at the design stage is relatively simpler and better visualized than using one of the PLC languages specified in IEC 61131. This research developed an editing system, PSE (PLC State Diagram Editor), which can convert a UML state transition diagram into a PLC program to provide better visibility and quickly lead a non-professional PLC programmer into the field of PLC programming. Besides, PSE also support related application, such as model-based test cases generation.
