Modular Verification of Programmable Logic Controllers with Tla
نویسندگان
چکیده
With the increasing use of computers in manufacturing, the quality of the production process becomes increasingly dependent on the software used in these systems. This paper describes the use of Lamport’s Temporal Logic of Actions (TLA) for the modular verification of programmable logic controllers (PLCs). First, a way to formulate abstract specifications for function blocks as defined in IEC 1131 is suggested. Based on these abstract specifications, the verification of systems consisting of many function blocks in a modular way is explained.

A rule-based evaluation of ladder logic diagram and timed petri nets for programmable logic controllers
This paper describes an evaluation through a case study by measuring a rule-based approach, which proposed for ladder logic diagrams and Petri nets. In the beginning, programmable logic controllers were widely designed by ladder logic diagrams. When complexity and functionality of manufacturing systems increases, developing their software is becoming more difficult. Thus, Petri nets as a high l...
متن کاملFormal Modeling of Security Properties of Computer Networks
Networks, mechanisms, services and processes are modeled as State Transition Systems. Verification and analysis apply Leslie Lamport’s Temporal Logic of Actions (TLA). The specification technique cTLA and a cTLA-based specification framework are used in order to support the modular description of systems and their structured verification. Moreover the cTLA-specifications used can be translated ...
متن کاملA Definitional Encoding of TLA* in Isabelle/HOL
We mechanise the logic TLA∗ [8], an extension of Lamport’s Temporal Logic of Actions (TLA) [5] for specifying and reasoning about concurrent and reactive systems. Aiming at a framework for mechanising the verification of TLA (or TLA∗) specifications, this contribution reuses some elements from a previous axiomatic encoding of TLA in Isabelle/HOL by the second author [7], which has been part of ...
متن کاملAn Exploratory Method for Effective Deployment of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)
This paper presents a preliminary study of an approach that models programmable logic controllers (PLCs) for their effective deployment in industrial control processes. A working model is developed for automatic allocation of PLCs and also a formal verification of Ladder Diagram representations of control processes using the Symbolic Model Verifier (SMV) tool. Automatic resource allocation is a...
متن کاملA Petri Net based Approach to the Development of correct Logic Controllers Design, Verification, Validation, Evaluation, and Implementation
An overview on the different steps involved in the development of a logic control algorithm from the informal specification to the final implementation on a programmable logic controller (PLC) is given. Based on this overview the steps in the development process are presented in detail. An example is used throughout the paper to illustrate the methods. The approach uses Signal Interpreted Petri...
