Abstract :
The paper describes an efficient method for process control using microcontrollers, based on logic control diagrams, that are commonly used by PLCs. The chosen software solution allows even quasi-simultaneous interpretation of several sequential function charts (SFC). The C compiler program CodeVision AVR was used for implementing this control solution on ATMEL microcontrollers from the ATMEGA family. The experimental results are described for the programming of a CNC machine using an ATMEGA microcontroller based circuit.
