Abstract(in English) We propose a speed-up method for PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) by only modifying programcodes. Ladder diagram (ladder logic) is widely used to PLCs. The idea of the speed-up method is simple: (1) Weconvert ladder diagrams to sequence instructions. (2) Sequence instructions have many logic devices which have valueseither 0 or 1. Assume that a logic device Mi has the value 0 (1), we can reduce some subsequent logical instructionswhich involves Mi. We pregenerate two reduced sequences; one is the codes in which Mi is assigned to 0, the other isthe codes in which Mi is assigned to 1. (3) We connect them using a CJ (conditional jump) operation. Preliminaryexperimental results show that the number of executed instructions is reduced by 3.0~ 4.7 percent. Although thenaive method increases the number of total instructions by 6.3 times. By eliminating duplicate instructions, we preventthe rate of increase by 2.9 times.
