An international standard for programming languages used for machine control and industrial automation. IEC_61131-3
It defines a family of 5 languages: 3 of which are visual
Sequential Function Charts
(A decedent of Petri-Nets.)
Function Block Diagram
(A block and Wire diagram similar to others on the list here.)
Ladder Logic
(A representation of an electrical wiring diagram.)
Most industrial automation devices in the world support one or more of these languages.
