Abstract
There exist numerous modelling techniques and representation methods for digital control algorithms, aimed to
achieve required system or process parameters, e.g. precision of process modelling, control quality, fulfilling the time constrains,
optimisation of consumption of system resources, or achieving a trade-off between number of parameters.
This work illustrates usage of Finite State Machines (FSM) modelling technique to solve a control problem with
parameterized external variables. The structure of this work comprises six elements. The FSM is presented in brief and
discrete control algorithm modelling is discussed. The modelled object and control problem is described and variables are
identified. The FSM model is presented and control algorithm is described. The parameterization problem is identified and
addressed, and the implementation in PLC programming LAD language is presented. Finally, the conclusion is given and future
work areas are identified.
