What is proved

From benchmarks/traffic/g_traffic_light/props.yaml. What each kind claims, and what it becomes on either route, is on The properties we prove.

id kind claim requirement
P1 mutual_exclusion never true together: ns_green, ew_green Conflicting green phases must never be energised simultaneously.

Variants

file expected verdict violates method
clean.xml SAFE none expert
bomb.xml VIOLATION P1 fault-injection

Structured text, derived

Read off the ladder graph by runner/ld_to_st.py: every rung's contacts and coils rewritten as IEC 61131-3 assignments, in the same series/parallel logic the PLCopen XML encodes. This is a reading aid, not a second source of expected verdicts; ESBMC verifies the ladder program shown above, never this rendering.

PROGRAM g_traffic_light_bomb
VAR_INPUT
    ns_req : BOOL;
    ew_req : BOOL;
    maint : BOOL;
END_VAR

VAR_OUTPUT
    ns_green : BOOL;
    ew_green : BOOL;
END_VAR


ns_green := ((NOT ew_req OR (ew_req AND maint)) AND ns_req);
ew_green := ew_req;

END_PROGRAM
PROGRAM g_traffic_light_clean
VAR_INPUT
    ns_req : BOOL;
    ew_req : BOOL;
    maint : BOOL;
END_VAR

VAR_OUTPUT
    ns_green : BOOL;
    ew_green : BOOL;
END_VAR


ns_green := (NOT ew_req AND ns_req);
ew_green := ew_req;

END_PROGRAM

Recorded runs

A task can carry two routes. ld is ESBMC's ladder front end reading the program directly. via C is the same solver reached through Beremiz and MatIEC, which is the only route that reaches ST, IL, FBD and SFC; see How ESBMC-PLC works.

  • g_traffic_light__bomb (props.yaml, expected VIOLATION): v8.4 VIOLATION
  • g_traffic_light__bomb__viac via C (props.yaml, expected VIOLATION): master VIOLATION
  • g_traffic_light__clean (props.yaml, expected SAFE): v8.4 SAFE
  • g_traffic_light__clean__viac via C (props.yaml, expected SAFE): master SAFE
