I've posted an article about Arduino based PLC and I've an unexpected response.
Many Arduino enthusiasts and students and also many other automation specialists showed interest to the subject.
This simply shows how there are so many people wanting to know more about open source and freely developed tools that can be used in automation and in industry as a whole.Related Articles
Ladder Logic Program Runs Output Image (PLC Memory) State of Actual Output Device As the ladder logic program is scanned, it reads the input data table then writes to a portion of PLC memory - the output data, table as it executes The output data table is copied to the actual output devices after the ladder logic has been scanned. Ladder Logic is a graphical based industrial programming language used to program and configure Programmable Logic Controllers, or PLC’s. Ladder programs consist of rungs that house instructions. Once compiled and downloaded to a PLC the ladder program is scanned like a book; from top-to-bottom, left-to-right.

I remember a friend of mine who had a dream since fourteen years ago. That dream he had was to replace old PLCs with modern Microcontrollers like PIC, Atmel and lately Arduino.
Ladder Logic Programming Consists Primarily Of
I guess now his dream came true.
I received a lot of questions on Arduino based PLC products and how they can be programmed.
Ladder logic is a PLC programming language. It is really called ladder diagram or just LD, but most people refer to it as ladder logic. That is also what I will call it in this tutorial. There’s a very simple reason for its name. Ladder logic is made out of rungs making what looks like a ladder. It is possible to scale a PLC analog inputfor example, although ladder logic is mainly for bit logic operations. But even simple bit logic ope.
So I’ve searched further and found that there are already some tools that can be used to program Arduino using Ladder language.
PLCs are often programmed in Ladder Logic. This is because PLCs originally replaced relay control systems, and after all those years, we still haven't quite let go. A PLC, like any microprocessor, executes a list of instructions in sequence.
Today I’m putting these tools in front of you so you can start learning them and hopefully using them efficiently.
SoapBox Snap is a free and open source PC-based automation platform.
The ladder editor includes standard instructions like contacts, coils, timers, counters, rising edge and falling edge, and set/reset instructions.SoapBox Snap also comes with an Arduino Runtime, which means you can download your ladder logic programs to an Arduino (UNO, Nano or Mega board) and even do online debugging and forcing.

Ladder Logic Programming Language
LDmicroLadder Logic Programming Training
It’s a compiler that starts with a ladder diagram and generates native PIC16 or AVR code. Features include:
-timers (TON, TOF, RTO)
-counters (CTU, CTD, `circular counters' for use like a sequencer)
-analog inputs, analog (PWM) outputs integer variables and arithmetic instructions
-easy-to-use serial communications, to a PC, LCD, or other device
-EEPROM variables, whose values are not forgotten when you lose power
-simulator, to test your program before you generate PIC/AVR code
