Abstract
The use of Grafcet as a design methodology for logic controllers is increasing, and PLC's manufacturers are including Grafcet as a programming language at its software. However, learning the basics of Grafcet is not an easy task for those not used to Petri Nets but, provided it is a graphic language, multimedia can provide the appropriate framework for a fast and easy learning environment. In this paper, a web-based introductory course on Grafcet basics is presented, whose interactive simulation capabilities are used in automation examples and exercises, then giving to students a closer vision to real process to be automated.
