Title

Development of a relay ladder logic programming and simulation tool with graphical user interface

Abstract

Two software packages have been developed in the Computer Integrated Manufacturing Laboratory of the University of Missouri-Rolla's Engineering Management Department. The first, LadderCAD, is a relay ladder logic programming environment. The second, SIM, is a simulation package. Using this software package, ladder logic programs may be tested, verified, and debugged off-line. Students receiving instruction in relay ladder logic programming may use LadderCAD's forward and backward interpretation to gain a more understanding of the process by which these programs are written and interpreted. LadderCAD and SIM may also be used in the instruction of digital data acquisition card programming.
