Below, with reference to accompanying drawing, embodiments of the present invention are described.

Fig. 1 is the brief configuration figure of the entire system of the programable display 1 comprising this example.

In addition, the structure that Fig. 1 represents is an example, but is not limited thereto.Such as, must be not necessarily that programable display 1 connects the structure of mapping editing device 5 via communication line 3.Programable display 1 and mapping editing device 5 also can individualisms.

In addition, mapping editing device 5 has in described background technology the function of the existing servicing unit illustrated, has the subsidiary function allowing developer can make arbitrarily (picture datas etc.) such as data for showing described operating display frame at programable display 1.But the mapping editing device 5 of this example, outside the function of existing servicing unit, has function hereinafter described further.In detail as mentioned below.

In addition, in the programable controller system of the structure shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 3, the structure that programable display 1 is connected with mapping editing device 5 via communication line 3, can be the structure in the place to use of programable display 1, but be not limited to this example.Such as, as another example, the structure shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 also can regard the structure represented in the manufacturing location of programable display 1 as.

When another example described, such as, in producer side, after the hardware manufacturing of programable display 1 completes, when programable display 1 mounting software or firmware, mapping editing device 5 is connected with programable display 1.Further, such as, to each programable display 1, waited by developer and make arbitrarily arbitrary picture data on mapping editing device 5.Further, the picture data made downloaded and be stored to programable display 1.Further, the signal procedure of correspondence is downloaded from mapping editing device 5 and is stored to each programable display 1.

In addition, the signal procedure of various connection device 4 correspondence stores by mapping editing device 5 sometimes in advance in the past.As concrete example, mapping editing device 5 even can store the signal procedure of more than 100 kinds sometimes in advance.Further, developer etc. select the predetermined signal procedure corresponding to connection device 4 connecting each programable display 1 wherein, are downloaded to programable display 1 (such as documents (Japanese Patent Laid-Open 7-225831 publication)).

In the past, stored the programable display 1 of picture data and the signal procedure downloaded from mapping editing device 5, and carried out shipment to shipment take over party, bring into use through arranging.Shipment take over party, programable display 1 is connected with any one above connection device 4.As described above, the described distribution for conducting interviews to the described external memory device in connection device 4 stores address and is comprised in picture data, but this address setting etc. also have the situation of makeing mistakes.

For such a situation, countermeasure in the past, as described above, is again set in mapping editing device 5 side.On the other hand.In this method, in programable display 1, (in other words shipment take over party place) user can change (again setting) described distribution and store address, can alleviate operation burden.Further, at this moment, can prevent user from setting by mistake occurring.This be such as adopt hereinafter described " store address can setting range data " 24 grades realize.

That is, as described above, picture data can be regarded as with in the past roughly the same with download itself with making of signal procedure.But, the mapping editing device 5 of this example stores various " communication I/F drivers 33 " hereinafter described or manages, and should " communication I/F driver 33 " be additional each " store address can setting range data " 24 hereinafter described and forming in described each signal procedure.Further, developer etc. are from these are various " communication I/F drivers 33 ", and " communicate I/F driver 33 " that the connection device 4 selecting to connect (or intending to connect) with each programable display 1 is corresponding, is downloaded to programable display 1.

Here, as described above, because the connection device 4 be connected with each programable display 1 is of a great variety, therefore, can mate to no matter connect which kind of connection device 4, considering corresponding with the connection device 4 of all kinds whole " store address can setting range data " 24 to be stored in programable display 1 in advance.But, as described above, because the kind of connection device 4 is more, therefore in advance corresponding with all connection devices 4 " store address can setting range data " 24 is stored in programable display 1 comparatively difficult.That is, usually, compared with computer etc., the hardware performance of programable display 1 is poor.Therefore, in fact, map in editing device 5 although corresponding with all connection devices whole " store address can setting range data " 24 can be stored in computer etc. in advance, be difficult to all be stored in programable display 1.

To described problem, in this method, by adopting described " communication I/F driver 33 ", easily only necessary for this programable display 1 " store address can setting range data " 24 can be stored in this display 1 in advance.In detail as mentioned below.

In addition, even if corresponding for described whole connection device whole " store address can setting range data " 24 can be stored in programable display 1 by hypothesis in advance, utilize this method, certainly also can obtain the effect of cutting down the data volume being stored in programable display 1.

The communications driver (such as carrying out judgement by developer etc. to indicate) that the connection device 4 be connected with the programable display 1 downloading target in various communications driver is associated is downloaded and is stored to this programable display 1 by download section 46.

In addition, configuration part 47 allows user's pair visit information corresponding with arbitrary programable display 1 at random set.Further, the visit information of this setting is downloaded and is stored in arbitrary programable display 1 by download section 46.

Here, to described picture data 22 with store address and can the concrete example of setting range data 24 be described.

Fig. 5 (a), (b) are the concrete examples of described picture data 22.

Fig. 6 (a), (b) and Fig. 7 are that described storage address can the concrete example of setting range data 24.

In example shown in Fig. 5 (a), picture data 22 is made up of each data items such as item types 51, coordinate 52, size 53, " data of often kind of item types " 54, storage address informations 55.In addition, the information storage of illustrated each record is in each described project.In addition, Fig. 5 (b) represents the detailed example of described storage address information 55.

The project kind identifying information representing this project kind (switch, lamp, numerical value display etc.) is stored at item types 51.In " data of often kind of item types " 54, the image that is associated of such as this project of storage etc. (be such as the project of lamp then for image lighted by lamp and lamp extinguishes image, if or the project of switch be then switch open the various item image such as the pass image of image and switch).

The display position of the described item image of expression on described operating display frame and the information of size is stored in coordinate 52 and size 53.

Further, storing address information 55 is the information that described external storage access process is associated, and comprises described information of distributing storage address etc.Further, this storage address information 55 is by the setting data correction in this method or change object.

In example shown in Fig. 5 (b), store address information 55 and there are reservoir model 61, reservoir access 62, device name 63, address 64 and data number 65 etc.

Reservoir model 61 is identifying informations of the connection device 4 of access destination.

Reservoir access 62 represents the form (1 bit access, 16 bits (word) access etc.) of the external memory device of access represented by device name 63.

Device name 63 is identifying informations of the external memory device of access destination.

Address 64 is beginning addresses etc. of the storage area of access destination in the external memory device represented by device name 63.

Data number 65 represents the capacity etc. of the storage area of such as described access destination.Such as, if address 64 is ' No. 101 ', data number 65 is ' 3 ', then using No. 101 ~ No. 103 storage areas as described access destination.

In connection device represented by described reservoir model 61, the memory device represented by described device name 63, storage area that described address 64 etc. represents, be equivalent to described distribution storage area.The change object of this method is mainly and distributes storage area.

Then, referring to Fig. 6 (a), (b) and Fig. 7, can the concrete example of setting range data 24 be described storing address.

Fig. 6 (a) be store address can the concise and to the point data structure example of setting range data 24 entirety.

Here, from above, when the connection device 4 be connected with programable display 1 has multiple, storing multiple storage address can setting range data 24.That is, the storage address storing each connection device 4 correspondence can setting range data 24.

Further, each store address can setting range data 24 there is corresponding connection device 4 each memory device corresponding to respectively can setting range information 70.That is, when having multiple external memory device in the connection device 4 of correspondence, to have as shown in the figure multiple can setting range information 70.Further, illustrated in Fig. 6 (a) that storage address that any connection device 4 (being assumed to be connection device A here) is associated can the example of setting range data 24.

Here, connection device A possesses three memory devices D, W, M.Thus, the storage address that is associated of connection device A can setting range information 70 be made up of corresponding respectively illustrated three of these three memory devices D, W, M setting range address 24.

In addition, here, to respectively can numbering by setting range information 70 distribution devices.Device number distributes such as 0 successively, 1,2,3, etc. such sequence number.Thus, in illustrated example, ' 0 ' can be numbered by setting range information 70 distribution devices to initial respectively, to second distribution devices numbering ' 1 ', to the 3rd distribution devices numbering ' 2 '.

In addition, when this device number is used for the guide look display of the device selectionbar 102 in the such as reservoir address change dialog box 100 shown in Figure 13 (a) hereinafter described.In detail as mentioned below.

In addition, such as, for other connection device 4 (being set to connection device B), also can be same with described connection device A, distribution devices numbering ' 0 ', device number ' 1 ' etc.Certainly, when this example, in connection device A and connection device B, the memory device title difference (although also having accidentally identical situation) that each device number is corresponding.Such as, be memory device D as described above relative to the device number ' 0 ' of connection device A, but be such as memory device C etc. for the device number " 0 " of connection device B.

That is, device number can commonly use in whole connection devices, but content (corresponding memory device) is corresponding with each connection device.

Fig. 6 (b) represents can the concrete example of setting range information 70.

In example shown in Fig. 6 (b), setting range information 70 can have device name 71, storage unit 72, numeric form 73, lowest address 74 and maximum address 75 etc.In addition, although not shown, also described device number can be had.

Device name 71 is identifying informations of described external memory device.

Storage unit 72 and described reservoir are accessed 62 almost identical, represent the form (1 bit access, 16 bits (word) access etc.) of the external memory device of access represented by above-mentioned device name 71.

Numeric form 73 is data (such as, DEC (10 system), HEX (16 system), OCT (8 system)) that the numerical value of the address of the external memory device represented represented by described device name 71 shows in what manner or increases progressively.

Lowest address 74 and maximum address 75 represent the address realm set of the external memory device represented by described device name 71.If such as lowest address 74=' 0 ', maximum address 75=' 65535 ', then can set address realm is 0 ~ 65535.In this method, this can set the address outside address realm, is processed into and cannot sets in fact (even if user carries out setting also occurring mistake, or alternatively not pointing out), can prevent the generation of setting by mistake thus.

As an example of hypothesis, for the device D in connection device A, device W, these three kinds of external memory device of device M in Fig. 7, respectively illustrate described can the concrete example of setting range information 70.

Below, explanation is used in programable display 1 side, and the distribution that user can be associated to arbitrary project stores the concrete example that the relevant set information (more than any one in reservoir model 61, device name 63, address 64) in address at random changed and prevented the process of the generation that address sets by mistake.Here, following two embodiments (embodiment 1, embodiment 2) are described, but are not limited to these examples.

Briefly, in following examples 1, the setting again of address etc. freely can be carried out by user, but also to whether wrong setting detects, does not change address (content that user is inputted is not reflected in device name 63 and address 64 etc.) when wrong setting.

In addition, in following embodiment 2, be that user selects or the structure of Input Address etc., the address set although described in address realm is selectable, and the address that can set outside address realm cannot be selected.In addition, this is not limited to address, for connection device title (reservoir model 61) or external memory device title (device name 63) setting again too.That is, for connection device title, correct option (which thus, no matter selects also there will not be setting by mistake) is only pointed out.Similarly, for external memory device title, also only point out correct option (which thus, no matter selects also there will not be setting by mistake).

Below, with reference to Fig. 8, Fig. 9, Figure 10, embodiment 1 is described.

Fig. 8, Fig. 9 are process flow diagram (1/2) (2/2) of the address change process of embodiment 1.In addition, do not do special differentiation below, be designated as Fig. 8 etc.

If user carries out the operation specified, then start the address change process shown in Fig. 8 etc.In illustrated example, the process of regulation carries out " length is pressed " operation to any project being defined as address change object by user, but be not limited to this example.

In processing example shown in Fig. 8 etc., the project of user to the address change object expected carries out " length is pressed " operation (step S11 is yes), then the storage address change window 90 (step S12) of programable display 1 indication example as shown in Figure 10 (a).On storage address change window 90, show illustrated display field 91, input part 92, " change " button 93 etc.At input part 92, such as, show the enter key etc. of keypad or letter, user can input desired letter or numerical value.User, in input part 92, carries out the input operation of desired reservoir model, desired external memory device, desired address name, identifying information or numerical value etc.This input content is presented at display field 91.

In addition, in this example, for external memory device, although input title (memory device name), be not limited to this example, also can be identifying information (ID etc.).

In addition, be not limited to this example, such as, also only can be carried out the input operation (change) of desired address by user.In other words, also can be the inalterable structure of setting of reservoir model (connection device) and external memory device.In addition, when this example, also can read reservoir model 61 and device name 63 and carry out showing (only display can not be changed).

Or, also can be the structure that cannot change reservoir model (connection device).

User confirms the displaying contents of described display field 91, if OK, then operates " change " button 93.

Thus, the following process (step S13) of this operation correspondence is performed.

First, based on the reservoir model (appointment of desired connection device 4) that described user inputs, judge the communication I/F driver 25 (its store address can setting range data 24) of this connection device 4 correspondence.Such as, when specifying connection device A, be judged as the communication I/F driver 25a (its store address can setting range data 24a) of illustrated connection device A.

Further, utilize the storage address judged can setting range data 24, check whether the memory device title of user's input and address etc. are normal.In addition, storage address corresponding to the reservoir model inputted when not having user can setting range data 24, also can notify input error (such as notifying the mistake setting of connection device).

Described check processing such as, first, obtain user input memory device title corresponding to described can setting range information 70.That is, such as, obtain its device name 71 consistent with the memory device title that described user inputs can setting range information 70.But, corresponding can setting range information 70 when, such as also can notify the error message of " input error of memory device title " etc.

In addition, only can Input Address when, the described reservoir model 61 adopting the project of described address change object to be associated and device name 63, the reservoir model replacing described user to input and memory device title.

Further, the address described user inputted whether by described obtain can check (step S14) in the set address realm represented by the maximum address 74 of setting range information 70 and lowest address 75.

User's Input Address, when setting in address realm, is judged as normal (step S14 is yes), is transferred to step S15.On the other hand, user's Input Address, when this can set outside address realm, is judged as exception (step S14 is no), is transferred to step S16.

In step S15, input Data Update picture data 22 according to user.That is, reservoir model, memory device title, address etc. that the information (reservoir model 61, device name 63, the address 64 etc.) project of address change object described in picture data 22 be associated is rewritten (cover or upgrade) becomes to be inputted by described user.Certainly, when only can change described address, only utilize the address change address 64 that user inputs.

On the other hand, in step S16, do not carry out the process of described step S15, carry out mistake display such shown in such as Figure 10 (b).

If perform described step S15,16 any one process, then present treatment terminates.

In addition, in the initial picture of residing storage address change window 90, also can show current (before changing) setting address contents at described display field 91.Namely obtain described address change object item destination data (device name 63 and address 64 etc.) from described picture data 22 to show.User on the basis confirming this displaying contents, be judged as need change when, the address etc. desired by input.

Then, below, with reference to Figure 11, Figure 12, Figure 13, embodiment 2 is described.

Figure 11, Figure 12 are process flow diagram (1/2) (2/2) of the address change process of embodiment 2.In addition, do not do special differentiation below, be designated as Figure 11 etc.

If user carries out the operation specified, then start the address change process shown in Figure 11 etc.In illustrated example, the process of regulation is that user carries out " length is pressed " operation to the project of address change object.

Namely, in the processing examples such as Figure 11, operation (step S21 is yes) that the project of user to desired address change object is carried out " length is pressed ", then such as show the storage address change dialog box 100 (step S22) shown in Figure 13 (a).

In illustrated example, in storage address change dialog box 100, such as, respectively for connection device, device, address, point out candidate item to user, user is from wherein selecting desired candidate item.

That is, first, have a guide look of (being title here) such as the title of whole connection devices 4 that shows and be connected with this programable display 1 or ID at connection device selectionbar 101.Guide look display connection device title " PLC1 ", " PLC2 ", " PLC3 " in illustrated example.In addition, these connection device names such as can in setting range data 24 in each storage address.

Further, if user selects desired connection device, then the storage address obtaining the connection device of selection corresponding can setting range data 24.Thus, based on the addressable range data 24 obtained, successively for external memory device, address prompting candidate item (step S23).That is, first, can device name 71 guide look of setting range information 70 be presented at whole in the addressable range data 24 obtained in illustrated device selectionbar 102.And if user selects desired external memory device on device selectionbar 102, then obtain the external memory device of this selection corresponding can setting range information 70.

Thus, only by based on obtain can setting range information 70 lowest address 74 and maximum address 75 etc. set address realm in address, be alternatively presented in illustrated address selection hurdle 103.In addition, also further the data such as numeric form 73 can be used for this display.

User operates the address value desired by the display such as upper and lower button in described address selection hurdle 103, on this basis, and " change " button 104 (step S24) of operational illustration yet.

Thus, in response to the selection result of user in described connection device selectionbar 101, device selectionbar 102, address selection hurdle 103, upgrade picture data 22.That is, the information (reservoir model 61, device name 63, address 64 etc.) be associated to the project of described address change object in picture data 22 is rewritten connection device, external memory device, address etc. (step S26) that (cover or upgrade) becomes described user to select.

But, also can be configured to user and can input arbitrary address etc., also can carry out the normal inspection (step S25) roughly the same with the step S14 of described embodiment 1 accordingly with this example.Certainly, when being judged as abnormal (step S25 is no), the process of described step S26 is not carried out.Replace, such as, show (step S27) such as the process of the wrong display frame shown in Figure 13 (b).But the process of step S25, S27 not necessarily.

In addition, similarly to Example 1, in embodiment 2, be also not limited to above-mentioned example, also can be the mode that such as only can change address.When which, the reservoir model 61 that the project that obtain described address change object is associated, device name 63 correspondence can setting range information 70.Further, only can select in address selection hurdle 103 based on obtain can setting range information 70 lowest address 74 and maximum address 75 etc. set address realm in address.In addition, when which, such as, the display field (not shown) of reservoir model 61 that the project that shows described address change object is associated, device name 63 also can be set, replace described connection device selectionbar 101, device selectionbar 102.

Here, during to the device selectionbar 102 had a guide look of in the storage address change dialog box 100 shown in the Figure 13 (a) described in showing, the process of described device number is utilized to be described.

Device selectionbar 102 is such as combo box, and such as, when the example of described connection device A, three memory device title D described in guide look display, W, M select.At this moment, DISPLAY ORDER can be various DISPLAY ORDER as shown in Figure 14.This DISPLAY ORDER is determined by described device number.Such as, show successively from the device that device number is little.When this example, in the example of described Fig. 6 (a), the order by " D " → " W " → " M " as shown in Figure 13 (a) shows each memory device title.

Such as, when developer etc. want to carry out showing with desired order, can the described device number of setting range data 24 at random set storing address.In addition, suppose not use device number, then need in addition in advance setting by each memory device title and the interrelated form etc. of DISPLAY ORDER.Certainly, if any DISPLAY ORDER, then not necessarily such a form etc. or device number.

As described above, for the programable display 1 etc. of this example, in programable display 1, the set information (storing address information 55 etc.) that the distribution that user can be associated to the arbitrary project of operating display frame stores address changes.Thus, compared with the past, alter operation burden can be reduced.Further, the mistake setting at this moment producing address etc. can be prevented.In addition, the data volume (or this process can be performed by programable display 1) that the setting of this mistake prevents from processing desired data can significantly be reduced.Reliably can only send this mistake from mapping editing device 4 to each programable display 1 and set the data (bundle with the necessary signal procedure of this programable display 1 and send) prevented needed for process.

According to described programable display 1 etc., be stored in correction or the change of the picture data (it distributes storage address etc.) of programable display 1 side in programable display 1 side, therefore can have reduced correction or alter operation burden.Further, can prevent from this moment producing setting by mistake.
