GRAFCET2D

GRAFCET2D provides you with a simple utility that is capable or running GRAFCET simulations.

Derived from the Petri net mathematical model, GRAFCET is a representation method for sequential processes, which can display each step of the operation, along with connections and transitions. It is mostly used for creating logical schemes and circuits.

The application comes with a variate collection of components that can be inserted within the created circuit, including switches, buttons, jacks, motors, sensors, cylinders, lamps, conveyors, logical operators, generators, memory objects and so on.

Thanks to the built-in editor, you can also create your own object and edit its properties according to your requirements. The editor enables you to design the object symbol using the drawing toolbox, which contains lines, geometrical shapes, text boxes and so on. Custom actions can be easily assigned to the new item and triggered on mouse click.

The main window of GRAFCET2D enables you to toggle between the editing and the execution mode. The first enables you to manipulate content, whereas the second allows you to interact with components, run the simulation and view the results.

GRAFCET2D enables you to easily add links between the objects of a circuit and generate a sequential functional chart. Created representations can include comments and explanations.

On the downside, the interface is poorly translated and not being able to resize its main window is quite frustrating. While some improvements could be made here and there, it is easy to work with, helping you design circuits and run GRAFCET simulations.
