An Algorithm for Generating Boolean Expressions in VHDL Based on Ladder Diagrams

This study proposes an algorithm for generating the associated Boolean expression in VHDL, given a ladder diagram (LD) as the input. The purpose of the algorithm is to implement of field-programmable gate array- (FPGA-) based programmable logic controllers (PLCs), where an effective conversion from...
