It is used for surveying different formal approaches in the context of PLC programming. The survey focuses on formal methods for verification and validation (V&V). The varying works in this area are categorized using three criteria: the general approach (A) to the task (model based, constraint based or without a model), the formalism (F) (Petri net, automata, etc.,) used to state the formal description, and the method (M) (model-checking, reachability analysis, etc.,) used to analyze the properties. Based on these three criteria (A-F-M) a three letter code for V&V approaches is introduced. Some works from the multitude of V&V research are presented and categorized using this new system

Integration, reuse, flexibility and optimization are demanded to adapt to a rapidly changing and competitive market. In fact, standardization is a key goal to achieve integration in this type of applications. The international standardization efforts have lead to the definition of the IEC 1131 standard. Part 3 of this standard defines a software model for defining automation projects as well as 5 programming languages, emphasizing software reuse. The Technical Committee 6 for XML belonging to the international organization PLCopen, has defined an XML based interface for importing/exporting automation projects. This work presents a graphical modeling tool that guides the user through the definition of the IEC1131-3 automation project, as a PLC programming tool does. But, internally, it stores the information about the automation project as a XML file. From it, it is possible to extract information, export the automation project to different programming tools or to translate it to PLCopen XML format, using different XML technologies.
