Reliability Analysis and Evaluation of PLC's Functional Diagrams

In industrial electronic systems, programmable logic controllers, or PLCs, find widespread application. Reliability becomes a key difficulty in safety-sensitive applications as system complexity increases. This paper presents a prescribed modeling and validation approach of the functional blocks in PLC's logic diagrams, and a logic specification system formalizes the functional block diagrams. We take up the subject of equivalency checking, which arises often when comparing design implementations with varying performance restrictions. We provide a novel approach to show the equivalency in a higher-order logic theorem proving system by utilizing a potent co-induction proof strategy via simulation. We provide a real-world example from industrial environment with essential scenarios to verify the efficacy of our technique. Our approach's completeness and soundness are supported.

Abstract

In industrial electronic systems, programmable logic controllers, or PLCs, find widespread application. Reliability becomes a key difficulty in safety-sensitive applications as system complexity increases. This paper presents a prescribed modeling and validation approach of the functional blocks in PLC's logic diagrams, and a logic specification system formalizes the functional block diagrams. We take up the subject of equivalency checking, which arises often when comparing design implementations with varying performance restrictions. We provide a novel approach to show the equivalency in a higher-order logic theorem proving system by utilizing a potent co-induction proof strategy via simulation. We provide a real-world example from industrial environment with essential scenarios to verify the efficacy of our technique. Our approach's completeness and soundness are supported.
