Le codage du contrôleur logique programmable (PLC) reste une tâche manuelle, centrée sur l'IDE qui nécessite un changement constant de contexte entre la documentation, les fichiers de projet et les éditeurs de code. Des travaux récents ont démontré que les grands modèles de langue augmentés par la récupération peuvent générer du texte structuré conforme au fournisseur à des taux de compilation élevés, mais ces systèmes traitent la génération de code comme un pipeline unique: l'ingénieur soumet une requête et reçoit le code, sans connaissance persistante de l'usine spécifique. Nous présentons un copilote de conversation conscient de la plante qui étend ce paradigme dans trois directions: ingestion de contexte spécifique à la plante, un modèle d'inter

Abstract

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) coding remains a manual, IDE-centric task that demands constant context switching between documentation, project files, and code editors. Recent work has demonstrated that retrieval-augmented large language models can generate vendor-compliant Structured Text at high compilation rates \cite{pred}, yet these systems treat code generation as a one-shot pipeline: the engineer submits a query and receives code, with no persistent knowledge of the specific plant. We present a plant-aware conversational copilot that extends this paradigm in three directions: plant-specific context ingestion, a chat-first interaction model for explanation and debugging, and a graduated tool-access ladder from chat to deployment. The system is designed for real plant infrastructure and keeps the engineer in control of each step that produces real-world effects.
