Abstract

In this paper a PC-based programmable controller is presented. A new assembler-like programming language is also presented, but since the controller is a SoftPLC it is possible to implement even very complicated control algorithms and functions. Moreover, plugins are introduced that allow the dynamical loading of needed control algorithms and assure that the control loops will be executed independently of the program execution. In addition TCP/IP protocol is used by the controller to communicate with the plant. A general architecture is presented along with examples of simple instructions. The controller is realised as an application realised in a LabView environment for running on a PC computer. An example program is presented for timeoptimal control of clearing process in batch sedimentation.
