GRAFCET specification language for sequential function charts

IEC 60848:2013 defines the GRAFCET specification language for the functional description of the behaviour of the sequential part of a control system. It specifies the symbols and rules for the graphical representation of this language, as well as for its interpretation and has been prepared for automated production systems of industrial applications. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2002 and constitutes a global technical revision with the extended definition of the concept of variables introducing: internal variable, input variable and output variable.

GRAFCET specification language for sequential function charts

Defines the GRAFCET specification language for the functional description of the behaviour of the sequential part of a control system. Specifies the symbols and the rules for the graphical representation of this language, as well as for its interpretation. Is primarily for automated production systems of industrial applications. It has the status of a horizontal standard in accordance with IEC Guide 108.

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:

  • mandatory clauses to satisfy,
  • non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document "ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents" as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.

With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!
