Description
Summary:This degree thesis is performed at Rolls-Royce at the Control Systems division. The assignment is to compare two different PLC development tools and determine how a transition toa new PLC development tool would be. The programs that will be compared is the current toolAutoCAD with the extension ACG and CoDeSys. A transition from AutoCAD to CoDeSys is realizable but will take considerable time and effort. Theeasiest way to achieve this is to during the transition generate an export file from the existing drawingsin AutoCAD which then can be imported to CoDeSys. By this CoDeSys can be used as a platform fordeveloping. This is fully realizable because ACG which generates the C code can be modified togenerate almost any export file.
