From Chain-of-Note to Explainable Cognitive Prompting: Reproducible Multi-Layer Validation for Auditable LLM-Assisted PLC Programming : Structured Explainability and Deterministic Reasoning for Industrial PLC Applications
Explainability in Large Language Model (LLM)–assisted PLC programming is essential for industrial adoption, where engineers must understand, validate, and maintain generated control logic under strict safety and standardization constraints. Existing explainability-oriented prompting approaches such as Chain of Note (Co...
