Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an operating device for a storage program control device.

Conventionally, operations on storage program control devices, especially operations for verifying storage programs, have been performed using the operating device attached to the control device, but ensuring the recording and accuracy of operation contents depends on the skill of the operator. Matsuo Nanakata.

An object of the present invention is to provide an operating device connected to a storage program type control device with a means for storing and reproducing the content and time order of manual operations, so that switches on the operating device having a large number of complex functions can be used. Operational testing of stored program control systems by objectively guaranteeing that operations have been performed for the purpose and by making it possible to easily and accurately repeat a series of operations without burdening the operating engineer. In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide an operating device that makes it possible to efficiently verify the normality of a program.

The present invention has two units that are connected to a control device that uses an accumulated program control system, and that are configured to have the function of manually controlling the control device to stop running, control the execution of commands, control the enable/disable of interrupts, and enable synchronous operation. functions to control synchronized operation, separated operation, and normal standby switching of the control device, functions to display the contents of any register in the control device, functions to place any data in any of the above registers, functions to control the main memory Provides at least some of the functions of displaying the memory contents at any address, writing any data to the above-mentioned arbitrary address, and stopping the control device when the program refers to a specific address that can be set arbitrarily. an operating device comprising: means for detecting the contents of a manual operation using an electric key for performing at least some of the functions; a means for storing the detected contents of the manual operation in the order in which they occurred; and a series of the stored manual operations. and a means for applying the read manual operation contents to the control device.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. Control device 1 that uses the storage program control method
An operating device 2 is connected as in the past, and the operating device 2 has a plurality of electric keys 3 (represented by one in FIG. 1) and a plurality of display lamps 4 (represented by one in FIG. 1). ), and manually controls the connected control device 1 to stop the control device 1, control execution of one command, enable/disable interrupts, and control the synchronous operation function. , specify a branch in a program, display data in any register, place any data in any register, display data at any address in main memory, Furthermore, it is widely practiced to control the control device 1 according to the will of the operator by writing arbitrary data to an arbitrary address, and to verify the validity of the accumulated program, especially in a system using the accumulated program control method. This is where I am.

The automatic operating device 5 according to the present invention is the operating device 2
It also includes a switching circuit 6. A plurality of switching circuits 6 exist corresponding to the electric keys 3. (In Figure 1, 1
(represented by individuals). Needless to say, in order for the conventional operating device 2 to function, the switching circuit 6 must be bypassed by the connecting line 7.

All of the electric key 3 indicator lamps 4 are connected to a detection circuit 8, and how the electric key 3 is operated is detected.
The detected contents are applied to the write circuit 9 and the order control circuit 10, and are stored in the storage circuit 11 in the order of occurrence as specified by the address control circuit 12. When the operating engineer wishes to repeat the same operation in exactly the same way, by operating the activation key 13, the switching circuit 6 is activated and the sequential control circuit 10 is made to run automatically.
The applied circuit 1 drives the address control circuit 12, reads out the contents of the memory circuit 11 to the readout circuit 14, and receives the readout contents and the application circuit 1 controlled by the order control circuit 10.
5 is connected to the electric key 3 through the operating side contact of the switching circuit 6.
gives exactly the same effect when applied to the control device 1.

As a further developed application of the present invention, by displaying the stored contents of the memory circuit 11 on a known graphic display device connected to the memory circuit 11, it is possible to objectively guarantee the correctness of the operation. does not require explanation.

Further, the function of copying display contents is a technology widely used in recent graphic display devices, and allows complicated operation contents to be recorded without requiring the operator's hands.

As a third application example of this invention, the memory circuit 11
It is possible to record the memory contents of a diskette or cassette tape together with a file memory, and to arbitrarily reproduce the recorded contents again on the memory circuit 11 using known information processing technology. It is clear that testing methods for systems that have been manually verified can be easily and accurately distributed.

Furthermore, by arbitrarily selecting and setting the self-running speed of the sequential control circuit 10, the display contents of the display lamp 4 can be visually determined by the operator. However, it is clear that it is possible to control this according to the operator's intention.

The present invention allows a plurality of operations to be easily and quickly repeated without error, and also allows the contents of the operations and display contents to be recorded. It has an excellent effect on improving performance and efficiency.
