In the control information creation unit 34, the parameters 40 in the procedure to be created are replaced by the input item names 38 and their positions on the input screen 33. For example, rRUN TO
LIB71? , ...'', r? 1? Replace J with the input item name rDAJ.

By repeating the above processing, codified control information 35 is created.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional creation of control information, it was necessary to separately and dually manage a control information file and a file of items input by the user in the control information.

The number of items in the control information is enormous, and it is easy to make mistakes in the correspondence between parameters and items.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a control information creation method that can unify file management and easily perform file management that does not cause errors in the correspondence between parameters and items.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention specifies items (for example, "input device") in the parameter section of the items input by the user in control information.
etc.) can be written and managed. In the prompt display, the specifically written items are directly extracted from the control information file and displayed on the input screen.

FIG. 1 shows the basic configuration of the present invention.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a control information file in which each item is specifically represented and stored in a parameter section such as "input device" and "input device number" specified by the user.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a screen display processing section for extracting a specific outdated item from the control information file and displaying a prompt, and 3 an input screen for displaying a prompt.

4 is a control information creation unit that extracts control information from the control information file, reads the input item name entered at the corresponding position in the prompt display, and replaces the parameter part such as "input device" with a parameter. , which codifies control information. 5 is codified control information.

6 is an input device, 10 is an item specifically written in the parameter portion of the control information, 12 is an input item name input at a designated position on the input screen 3, and 13 is a prompt display.

[Effect]

The operation of the configuration shown in FIG. 1 will be explained.

The control information to be created is from control information file 1,
The information is taken into the control information creation section 4.

At the same time, items such as "input device" specified by the user in the control information are taken into the screen display processing section 2. A prompt display 13 of the imported item is then displayed on the input screen 3.

The user inputs the input item name (for example, rDAJ, etc.) of the corresponding item into the input position such as "input device" specified in the prompt display 13.

The input item name 12 is read by the control information creation unit 4 in correspondence with the input position.

The control information creation unit 4 replaces items such as "input device" in the procedure to be created with the input item name 12.

For example, rRUN TOLIB? Input device? ,...
”, “? input device 9” is replaced with the input item name rDA.

By repeating the above process, codified control information 5 is created.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be explained in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1 in the case where the control information file is a procedure.

The procedure to be created is imported into the control information creation section 4 from the control information file I. At the same time, items for which the user needs to define input item names are imported from the control information file 1 into the control information creation unit 4.

That is, in the illustrated example, the "input device" of the control information file 1 "2 procedure rRUN TOLIB",
The "input device number", "input library name", "input file name", etc. are taken into the screen display processing section 2.

The screen display processing unit 2 displays a prompt 13 on the input screen 3 according to the captured data.

Accordingly, the user follows the prompt display 13 and selects the input item name 'DA, +,' corresponding to each item on the input screen.
IOJ, rWsOO1'', rAAAJ, etc., at the designated position on the screen.

The control information creation unit 4 sequentially reads input item names and replaces them with items to be replaced in the procedure in the order of reading. Immediately, change "? input device 9" in the procedure to r
DA,, "9 input device number 9" is "10", [? "Input library name 9" is replaced with rWsOOIJ, and "?Input cuff file name?" is replaced with "AAAj."In this way, a procedure that is codified control information 5 is created.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of the control information creation section in the present invention. Refer to FIG. 1 as necessary.

The flow will be explained according to the illustrated numbers.

■ Start procedure creation processing.

■ Set initial values of parameters.

■ The input item name ("DΔ" in n-1) entered in the input screen child is not sold.

■ If the input item name is read, proceed to ■; otherwise, proceed to ■.

(2) Replace the input item name with the item to be replaced (in n-1, replace "9 input device 9" with rDAJ).

■ Determine whether all replacements have been completed. If it is not finished, proceed to ■; if it is finished, proceed to ■ to end the process.

■ Update the parameter Iq.

Thereafter, the same process is repeated, and in the loop of n-2, item to be replaced r'> input device number? Enter J for the item name “10
” in the loop for each barata.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, parameters are stored in the control file using the specific names of the corresponding items, and prompts are displayed based on the items. This eliminates the need for multiple files and requires only one file to be managed, making management for creating control information easier.
