Next, obtain input and output variables for each processing and its number (step ST42). Focusing on the “average processing” of the “diary” function data flow in FIG. 2, the number of processing is “4”,
The combination of input and output is (1) IW0001 and M001,
(2) IW0004 and M003, (3) IW0005 and M004, and (4) IW0006 and M005.

[0062] Next, the input and output variables shown in FIG. 3 Declaration of Education, Culture, Sports, 61
Is created (step ST43). Next, a process repetition unit 62 is created. At this time, step ST42
It is created based on the number of inputs and outputs obtained in step ST44 (step ST44).
Next, the arithmetic processing unit 63 is created. Arithmetic processing unit 6

[0067] Thus, while incorporating in the program as the first embodiment declaration of input and output data in,
In this embodiment, the input data file, the output data file, and the number of processes can be handled separately from the program, and the program itself can be fixed.

In FIG. 10, the same or corresponding parts as those in FIG. 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted. In the figure, reference numeral 72 denotes “averaging processing”.

In the programming devices of the first and second embodiments, the program is created or the program and the input / output data file separated from the program are created. However, the execution order of the program is determined by the operator. There is a need. Therefore, in the "diary" function data flow in the power plant shown as the block diagram in FIG. 2, "average processing" → "addition processing" → "integration processing" → "fraction processing" → "efficiency calculation processing" → "time It is necessary to perform in the order of "delay processing". Further, if the same operation is simply processed all at once, the processing procedure may be reversed. For example, in the "diary" function data flow in the power plant shown in the block diagram of FIG. 10, in the averaging process 72 in which "M008" is input and "M020" is output, the averaging process 72 is executed simultaneously with the other "averaging process". Can not do.

[0071] Thus in this embodiment, at the same time to create a group of programs to implement common processing, automatically schedules the timing of the program by the scheduling means 34c, to obtain a schedule table shown in FIG. Then, a schedule program (not shown) refers to this schedule table and starts each arithmetic program according to the schedule.

[0072] In this example, the effect of human error that can occur with respect to the processing order can be prevented.

In the first to fourth embodiments, when the original data flow diagram of the program is partially corrected, the program, the data file, and the schedule are recreated from the beginning. When the change is a part, it is desirable to change only the target portion in order to eliminate time and material waste caused by re-creating from the beginning.

FIG . 12 shows a change in the schedule table when the data flow of the "diary" function in the power plant shown as a block diagram is changed from FIG. 2 to FIG. In this case, only a part of the schedule table has been changed. In this way, by minimizing the changed portion for the partial change, for example, on the schedule table, time and materials can be reduced as compared with the case where the schedule table is recreated from the beginning.

Embodiment 6 FIG .

Embodiment 9 FIG . In the first to eighth embodiments, the common data processing program is created from the data flow diagram. However, when the created data file or schedule program is directly changed, the change result cannot be checked.
If the changed program is already in operation, the consistency check with the original data requires that the original data be changed theoretically to match the program after the change, because the change includes artifacts. It is difficult because even if re-created, it is not possible to ensure the sameness at all. Conversely, processing for creating a data flow diagram from the common data processing program is required. Therefore, in this embodiment, a data flow diagram is created from the common data processing program.

Thereafter, in step ST104, a data flow is similarly obtained for the second operation element in the schedule table. In this case, the combination of the input data and the arithmetic processing already processed in steps ST101 to ST103 is omitted. After all the arithmetic processing and the continuity of all data are processed in this way, the data is output to the CRT of the display unit 33 as a data flow diagram (step S).

In the present embodiment, the data flow diagram
If a wide range of modifications / modifications that cannot be expressed on RT33 are implemented in the original program or schedule, CR
When output to T33, the display is complicated due to the influence of the resolution in the horizontal direction. Therefore, a data flow diagram developed in the paper direction is output to an output device other than the CRT 33, such as a typewriter, plotter, or printer. As a result, an easy-to-understand data flow diagram can be obtained irrespective of the modification range even when the modification range is wide.

Embodiment 11 FIG . In the ninth and tenth embodiments, it is assumed that the change program has continuity in the data. However, if the input data and the output data are not consistent, a data flow diagram is output as an error at the time of remodeling. The alarm can be output before the operation. FIG. 17 is a flowchart when the algorithm described in the ninth embodiment is provided with a check function for consistency from input data to final output data.

Reference numeral b denotes a change point addition output means for adding and outputting only a change point on the output data flow diagram in response to a change in the operation target data generated in the original program.

In the ninth and tenth embodiments, when the original program is partially modified, the output data flow diagram is recreated from the beginning.
When the change is a part, it is desirable to change only the target portion in order to avoid wasting time and data by re-creating the data from the beginning.

FIG . 21 shows a schedule table when one portion of the input / output information shown in FIG. 10 is changed. In this case, only the schedule table is changed, and the input data “IW0005” of the output data flow diagram is changed to “IW0009”.

The thirteenth embodiment is configured so that a part of the data flow diagram is corrected for the modification of the original program. However, when the modification does not affect the number of inputs and outputs of the program and the types of the input and output variables, the data flow diagram is modified. It is desirable to judge that the modification is unnecessary and not execute the modification.

FIG . 23 is a flowchart showing an algorithm of the correction output control means 92c for judging the necessity of correcting the data flow diagram. According to this flowchart,
As a result of comparison with the original program, when it is determined that there is a change, after the start of the correction, it is first checked whether or not there is a change in the input / output data file (step ST151).
If there is no change, it is checked whether there is any change in the program (step ST152). As a result, if there is a change in the program and it is found that the program change is not a declaration part of an input / output variable, the process is stopped (step ST15).
