What is GRAFCET?

GRAFCET (GRAphe Fonctionnel de Commande Étape Transition) is the graphical description language for control sequences per IEC 60848 – built from steps, transitions and actions.

Frequently asked questions

Is grafcet.io free?

Yes. Drawing is free without limits, simulation is free up to 5 steps, and PNG and PDF export is available with a watermark. PRO removes these limits.

Do I need to install anything?

No. grafcet.io runs directly in the browser, with no installation and no plugin. You do not need an account to draw or simulate either.

Can I simulate a GRAFCET?

Yes. The simulator simulates the GRAFCET step by step: active steps are highlighted, an enabled transition fires as soon as its transition condition is true, and the actions of the active steps are executed. Time conditions, edges, macro-steps, enclosures and much more are supported.

Which export formats are available?

PNG and PDF, and with PRO without a watermark plus SVG and WebP. Every GRAFCET can also be saved as a .grafcetio file and opened again later.

What is the difference between GRAFCET and SFC?

GRAFCET according to IEC 60848 describes the behavior of a control system independently of the technology used. SFC (Sequential Function Chart, IEC 61131-3), by contrast, is a PLC programming language that can be used to implement such a sequence.
