Abstract: A method of inspecting a programmable logic controller (PLC) control logic using a graphic neural network (GNN) generally includes three operations: a data preprocessing operation for a GNN, an operation of predicting whether tags are connected, and an operation of verifying suitability of edge connections between tags. As a result, a graph is generated from a PLC control logic and input to a link prediction model to find an incorrect connection in the PLC control logic. Subsequently, a result graph output through the link prediction is input to a trained model to verify edge connection suitability between tags. Then, it may be finally verified whether tags are connected in the PLC control logic.

By detecting the change in the process pattern, it is possible to early detect the anomaly of the equipment and processes.
