Good day nice people:

Please does anyone of you know about a plc automatic code generator.

Thank you very much for your answer

From what input description? Gate level diagram? Ladder logic? And for
which PLC should it generate the output?

There is the IEC 61131-3 standard for PLCs, but there are a lot of
things which are implementation dependant, so I guess a general
automatic code generator for all PLCs is impossible.

Usually a code generator expects a description what to do and
generates a code that a target device can actually execute.

However, this requires that you have solved the problem at some level
and the generator will then generate the code.

If you are familiar to formulate the problem solution in some kind of
Algol 60, Pascal or Modula like pseudo code, you could use IEC
1131/61131 Structured Text (ST), which then generates ladder diagrams
etc.

However, _you_ have to solve the problem and then tell some code
generating system about it and it might generate some machine
executable version of it.

Do not expect that a "code generator" will solve the problem for you.

If you're talking about "Programmable Logic Controllers" yes, but
if something else? I don't know maybe?

   Are you talking about a cross compiler?

Ha..

  How about STL used in the Festo's and alike systems!>. now that is 
something to teach ..

I tried searching for what you might talking about and got a bunch of
maybe irrelevant stuff.  How about a link?

  It was a punt remark but here it is.

You can check put www.scadacontinuum.com it does automatic PLC code generation plus tags for wonderware in touch, ifix, and ftview.  They have a free trial

Take a look at this example project on github:
https://github.com/factory-x/fx-example

It does full code generation including sequences, actions, transitions, ...

The API manual is available here:
