Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to show a translation scheme from control flow in the C programming language to the Grafcet language. Grafcet is a graphical language for expressing control flow. Grafcet is used to design paralleled systems such as in a manufacturing environment. The control constructs covered in this paper are: conditional statement, while, do, for, switch, break, continue, go to, label, and null. The Grafcet used in this paper is the language, as augmented by Savior. The C programming language is the one described by Kernighan and Ritchie. This translation is to be used as a reference for programmers to translate existing C source code into Grafcet.
