Abstract
A method of identifying and extracting functional parallelism from a PLC program has been developed that results in the ability of the extracted program fragments to be executed in parallel across a plurality of separate resources, and a compiler configured to perform the functional parallelism (i.e., identification and extraction processes) and perform the scheduling of the separate fragments within a given set of resources. The inventive functional parallelism creates a larger number of separable elements than was possible with prior dataflow analysis methodologies.
