Repetition Function Charts

  Repetition Function Charts "Loop Flowchart" is another name for a repetition flowchart. It's a series of steps that are repeated several times. A decision must be made in order for a recurring process to come to an end. A test is the term used to describe the decision. Repetition is used by programmers to cycle over values, add sums of numbers, repeat functions, and do a variety of other things. The while loop and the for loop are two of the most frequent forms of loops.

Conditional Function Charts

  Conditional Function Charts A diamond represents the decision form. This object is always used to ask a query in a process flow. The arrows that emerge from the Diamond are determined by the response to the question. With two arrows coming out of it, this shape is pretty distinctive. One from the bottom point, which represents Yes or True, and one from the right or left point, which represents No or False. To avoid confusion in the process flow, the arrows should always be labelled. When a conditional flowchart can't solve the problem with a simple Yes or No, there's a Branched Flowchart, which is utilized in a flowchart to illustrate condition testing. Based on the results of the test, a certain course is chosen. A comparison of positive and negative numbers could be the condition. The flowcharts used in branching in their most basic form.

Sequential Function Charts

  Sequential Function Charts      A Sequential Function Chart (SFC) is a set of scripts that are defined in one place and then executed in order. Components in the chart can influence where the chart's flow will go. Charts can loop continuously or run for a specific number of times before stopping. Sequential Function Charts are based on the IEC 61131-1 standard, which includes a graphical programming language. This language is one of the most often used for programming PLCs, therefore PLC programmers may be familiar with it.      SFCs are used to execute logic in more structured ways than Python scripts or PLC programming alone. They aid in the illumination of logic for users and promote intuitive development and improvement due to their intrinsic visual representation. Charts may be visually viewed as they run, making troubleshooting easier than with only scripting.
