Abstract
It is disclosed a PLC Program analysis method where a program is translated into a program model in a logical framework, from which properties are determined. Said properties coupled with interlocking properties are verified by an automated solver. If contraposition of a property is satisfiable, counter-examples representative of model's inputs and internal memory values is provided. Counter-examples are translated into error initial configurations of said model. Execution of the model is simulated with said model error initial configurations, and error intermediary configurations of said model simulation are recorded up to said property violation. Error initial and intermediary configurations of said original program are derived from error initial configurations of said model and error intermediary configurations of said model simulation and displayed. An apparatus for executing said method is provided.
