"VIPTRAN - A programming language and its compiler for Boolean Systems" view details Abstract: The solution of some industrial process control problems can be expressed as a system of Boolean algebra equations using variables representing inputs from and outputs to the real world. If this system is solved sequentially, cyclically, and in real time, the outputs may be used directly to control the state of real world devices. VIPTRAN is high-level FORTRAN-like language which allows the programmer to express his Boolean system symbolically in logical (Boolean) equations. The VIPTRAN compiler reduces the input to machine code for the VIP process controller, and can plot the resulting system as a relay tree. The concept is extensible to other industrial controllers.
