Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a program operating device in which an error-free program is always stored in a memory device exclusively used for subsequent execution within a sequence by a small number of keyboard operations.

Conventionally, in order to operate a mechanical device such as a printer as a terminal device of an information processing system, a replay-only storage device is provided that stores an operating program therefor.

When storing an operating program in a storage device, the procedure is complicated, and it is necessary to confirm the operation after storage.

In the conventional example shown in Fig. 1, when testing the operation of the test subject's mind,
The in-sequence SQC has a sequentially readable storage device ROM and a control device CTL, and a keyboard KB and printer PR are externally attached.

After thoroughly considering and summarizing the operational specifications for operating the test object'm, create a flowchart, encode and arrange according to the operational elements, then key from the keyboard and write to the ROM, a dedicated storage device. , and debug as necessary.

Particularly regarding keying operations, although they are encoded, it is extremely complicated to operate letters and numbers one by one.

In addition, when it is necessary to modify the stored program after the program has been stored in the ROM, the ROM is stored in the ROM, and the stored program has started operating. I typed it out, corrected it by hand, and based on that, I re-stored everything from the keyboard 1-'KB.

Embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described below.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, in which the same reference numerals as in FIG. 1 indicate the same elements.

RAM is a continuous write storage device, RMW is a write device for a continuous write only storage device, and the line inside the one-dot chain line PTS is a program testing device according to the present invention.

A program is stored in the successive write storage device RAM by operating the keyboard FKB.

Next, the control device CTL in the sequence SQC sequentially controls the storage device RAM, and the output directly controls the test object TB.
Let's control and see.

If there are any problems with the results of this program function test,
The contents of the storage device RAM are checked individually by printing them on the printer PR and using the keyboard KB.

After that, we further checked the operation and confirmed that there was no error in the storage device RA.
The contents of M are continuously written to the storage device R by the writing device RMW.
Store in OM.

Furthermore, when it becomes necessary to modify the program stored in the read-only storage device ROM due to a change in the specifications of the test object TB or due to the convenience of the user, this can be easily done.

That is, the sequence SQC control device CTL transfers the program in the storage device RAM to the above-mentioned successive-only storage device RA.
Transfer it to M and print it out using printer PR.

Next, the user changes the contents of the memory device RAM by inputting information from the keyboard KB while confirming the changed contents on the printer display.

The function test of the test object is performed using the modified RAM program, and after confirmation, the storage in the ROM is completed using the ROM writing device RMW.

Conventionally, when storing a program by operating the keyboard KB, it was necessary to operate each term character by character.

FIG. 3A is an example of a flowchart for explaining how to improve this drawback, and FIG. 3A is a diagram showing an example of keyboard operation.

If we focus on a moving component such as a magnet as the operation of the test object shown in FIG. 2 and create a flowchart based on the operation, we will obtain FIG. 3A.

For example, rMgl ON indicates that the first magnet is excited, and rSK PSNS2 ONJ determines whether the state of the second sensor is conductive, and when it is conductive, rT
To the IMERJ side, non-conducting note 1 JUMP, no side -3
Indicates that the operation should proceed.

A separate program is used to easily program instructions on such a flowchart using keyboard operations.

The key operation signal is deciphered so that the magnet can be excited by operating only once a single key with an operation instruction display in the flowchart 1 magnet drive shown in FIG. 3B. A program for generating a new signal and the program are stored in the aforementioned program creation device PTS.

By running this program one after another and associating it with key operations, the number key 1 will be pressed next to J Magnet Tribuyo.
011, when the operation designation key is operated as "ONJ", the first magnet enters the excitation operation.

Programs that conventionally required several operations can now be operated only three times using the operation instruction key, number key, and operation instruction key.

In this way, according to the present invention, the successive write storage device RAM
By using this, an accurate control program for the test object is always stored and maintained, compared to the case where only the read-only memory device RAM is used.

Also, when storing a control program, it can be displayed as an operation instruction key.

Therefore, the operation control of the test object becomes extremely easy and accurate.
