Abstract

Benchmarks are quite important in PLC´s CPU design, that laydown guidelines for the processor architecture design, the ability to measure and make tradeoffs in microarchitectural decisions. This paper presents benchmarking methodology for an industrial controller by developing and running standard application programs on controllers or runtime environments in the light of IEC-61131-3 programming standard in order to assess the controller´s efficiency pertaining to Pakistan´s industrial process control and automation needs.
