GRAFCET2D

GRAFCET2D is a handy tool that lets you run GRAFCET simulations easily. If you're into creating logical schemes and circuits, this software is definitely worth checking out!

What is GRAFCET?

So, what exactly is GRAFCET? Well, it's based on the Petri net mathematical model and helps represent sequential processes. Think of it as a way to show each step in an operation, along with the connections and transitions between them.

A Variety of Components

This app comes packed with tons of components that you can throw into your circuit designs! You’ve got switches, buttons, jacks, motors, sensors—you name it! Plus, there are cylinders, lamps, conveyors, logical operators, generators, memory objects and more. It's like a playground for creators!

Create Your Own Objects

The built-in editor is super cool because it lets you create your own objects. You can edit their properties however you want! With the drawing toolbox at your fingertips—lines, shapes, text boxes—your imagination really can run wild. And if you want to make things happen when you click on these items? Easy peasy!

Edit and Execute Modes

When you're using GRAFCET2D, you'll notice that the main window lets you switch between editing and execution modes. Editing mode helps you tweak things just right while execution mode allows for interaction with all your components. You can run simulations and see how everything works in real time.

Create Functional Charts

This software also makes it simple to connect different objects in your circuit and whip up a sequential functional chart. And guess what? You can even add comments and explanations to your designs so everything makes sense later on.

User Experience Notes

Now for some honesty—the interface could use some work since translations aren’t great. And not being able to resize the main window might drive some folks up the wall! But despite these little hiccups, GRAFCET2D remains user-friendly for designing circuits and running those GRAFCET simulations.
