The PLC can be thought of as a hardened computer with high speed I/O and communications ports with bus interfacing for multiprocessor or coprocessor enhancements, and a BIOS that supports those features. PLC manufacturers now retain control over both aspects of the PLC which interoperate in a proprietary manner. Via the delineation of the two may come a standard real time operating system or real time kernel which would give rise to true applications portability. Specific topics addressed include relay ladder logic, a structured approach to error dynamic diagnostic information (EDDI), state control language, and process control function blocks.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":350403,"journal":{"name":"[1993] Record of Conference Papers 35th IEEE Cement Industry Technical","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121977334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
