The MAT LinuxPLC has a translator from ladder logic mnemonics to C. See the documentation at

http://mat.sf.net/manual/logic/il.html

or the logic/il directory in the CVS.


Does the basic rung instructions (LD, AND, OR, OUT, SET, RST), as well as master control (MCS, MCE), rung combination (ANB, ORB), jumps (JMP, LBL) and subroutines (JSR, SUB).

Actually, the one I was thinking of has no graphics at all - it takes a text file of mnemonics and translates it to C.

It should run under Windows no problem, because it's a Perl script with no fancy stuff (just be careful about line-ends).


There is a graphic one, which executes the logic directly, as an interpreter - but yes, that's going to be a fair bit of work to port to MS. If you want to use it, go to its original site

http://classicladder.sf.net

because MAT doesn't have the latest version yet.
