Description

541447 V. Description of the invention α)-[Technical field] The present invention mainly relates to a system having a function capable of displaying the control target machine and a function capable of controlling the control target machine's operation. The design will display the content according to the state of the controlled terminal And design the editing equipment used in the control program of the controlled end and the recording medium used to store the editing program. [Background Art] A control device for production operations, which is called a programmable controller (hereinafter referred to as PLC), is equipped with a central part of a processor and a memory, in order to realize various control program control. And the software part that controls it. In terms of software, the program control flow designed to allow the programmable controller to operate in accordance with the control system originally designed includes the command conversion of the control flow, and the writing of instructions to memory. Generally, this series of operations is called programming.

Aiming at such programming 'In order to make it easy for people without computer expertise to use unique programming languages to make programs, programming languages that are easy for users to use have also been developed. Now, at the International Electrotechnical Standards Conference I E C (I n t e r n a t i ο n a 1 Electrotechnical Com s s i 〇n) Bei 1J has developed a standard programming language (I E C 6 1 1 3 1-1). That is S F C (Sequential Function Chart), P White Ladder LD (Ladder

Diagram), instruction set I L (Ins " t r u c t i ο n L i s t), function block _ diagram FBD (Function Block Diagram) and structured text ST (Structured Text) five words. The above factors use various programming languages to develop programs.

Page 5 541447 V. Description of Invention (2)-The environment is also being rectified. For example, for the ladder diagram, it is relatively simple to design the ladder circuit by using the relay symbol (re 1 aysymb ο 1), so it has been widely used from before, and it is still the most commonly used program so far. Design language. Inversely, such a programming language is used to perform program design operations, and programming software such as a ladder editor (1 a d d e r d i t 〇 r) used by the programming tool has been gradually popularized. When this software is used on a computer device such as a personal computer, a ladder diagram, etc. can be created together with a pattern containing symbols (s y m b ο 1), so it is easy to create or edit programs. In addition, the programmable display of HMI (Human Machine Interface) is an interface for daytime display screen, operation input on / off, and main controller (programmable controller). Operation display for program memory for controlling operations such as operation input on the day. Generally, the programmable display is used to display graphics. In addition to functions such as operation panels, switches, and display lights, it also has settings for managing the target machine's operating situation and operation instructions. It can also set values for the family and the machine. Input function. In recent years, a tB input device has been installed in order to connect to a control target device, so a programmable display having a control function of a programmable controller has also appeared. The control screen (display content range φ type) displayed on such a programmable display can be created by the user using daytime production software (screen editing). ◦ When the user creates the daytime surface, it is produced on the personal computer, etc. Software provided switches, numeric keyboard, numeric display, chart display

541447 V. Description of the invention (3) · Use the drawing function, etc. to construct the control screen you want. In addition, S Computer Aided Design (C A D) A (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) for monitoring software is popular in the market mainly because it provides a man-machine interface operating environment. S computer-assisted tx tf (CAD) A (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) is a high-performance graphic monitoring software that displays the operation of the machine and the operation panel of the control panel. It is the same as the aforementioned screen editing software, and can use basic graphic drawing The function and the graphic element I provided in the software can be used to control the day surface. In addition, daytime editing software is not only a single function mentioned above, but there are also composite components with multiple functions prepared in advance. For composite components, composite switches and counters are examples. In the case where a composite switch is a combination of a plurality of switches, it is necessary to prepare a lamp that is linked according to the necessary switch operation. In addition, the counter is a numerical display that displays the set value and count value. It must have a lamp that lights up when the value reaches the set value, and a button for re-operation. Generally speaking, such composite components have been stored in the software in the form of a library (Library) in advance, so that users can freely choose and use them in the window of the editing software. The created control daylight surface will be regarded as a daylight file and transferred to a programmable display for memory storage. When the programmable controller is in operation, according to the data exchanged between the programmable display and the programmable controller, it conforms to the operating state of the control target machine. 5 The graphic of each component is displayed on the control day.

Page 7 541447 V. Description of the invention (4) · However, generally, a ladder editor (1 adderedit) is used to create (programming) control program programs and screen editing software (day-to-day production) to display content programs. They are all carried out independently. For example, when the display content program is created based on the control program program, the name and address entered by each device must be recorded as design data when the control program program is created. While referring to this design data, we will create a program that contains display contents such as defining input / output (I / 0) addresses. In addition, when creating a control program based on the created display content program, it is also necessary to refer to design data prepared in advance. However, this method must prepare design data corresponding to the program to be produced in advance, and therefore, it has the disadvantage of reducing operating efficiency. In addition, in the above-mentioned method, all programs are created according to the input operation of the user. Therefore, for the above-mentioned program production method, problems of low operation efficiency and time-consuming problems will occur. Programs are created based on user input operations. Therefore, when one program is created and another program is created, input operations are performed while referring to design data. I am afraid that input errors may occur. In addition, if such an error occurs, it will lead to an increased and more complicated debugging operation when removing the error occurred in the program. In addition, both the input operation for producing the display content program and the input operation for producing the control program must be performed separately, which requires a lot of time and labor. Also, for the above programming method, although the two programs must be linked

Page 8 i 541447 V. Description of the invention (5) · To the common device, but each program is created separately. Due to the factors of independent production, additional addresses (I / 0 address) and ladders must be added to allocate devices. Commands and components. In order to solve the shortcomings in this regard, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Gazette No. 1 1-1 7 5 3 2 6 (published on July 2, 1999), it is announced that the steps that can be used to create a ladder diagram (staircase formula) An editing device that corresponds to and connects the step marks (step instructions) between the editor and the daytime editing software that creates the screen, and components (illustrations) placed on the daytime surface. Such an editing device can move the step mark displayed on the step window to the daytime editing window. For example, when performing a drag operation, for a symbol (symbo 1) and a symbol corresponding to this symbol (at least one), it includes the attribute data of the common control target machine and the address 1_, and stores it in a common database. In the daytime editing window, the attribute data will be referenced, and the above-mentioned symbols corresponding to the dragged symbols will be displayed. In addition, this editing device can also perform the opposite action. Therefore, first use the ladder diagram or the control screen. After the production is completed, the user can simply create another program by dragging and other operations. However, for the editing equipment published in the above-mentioned bulletin, the data is shared to avoid the duplication of data between the ladder editor and the screen editor. The common database of stored attribute data that is overwritten must be provided with a ladder file for the ladder editor and a screen file for the daytime editor. In addition, the created ladder diagram (user program) and daytime surface (user screen) When registering as the final reference file and picture file, the two files will also include the above-mentioned attribute information. Log in together, resulting in more repeat login attribute data. Also, attribute data can be copied from a ladder into a common database or file

Page 9 541447 V. Description of the invention (6) is a daytime file, and in order to make the gift plan compatible, it must go through and then copy it into a ladder. For the case where it is managed by a special broadcast case, it is used Disadvantages. In addition, in order to make the ladder diagram easier to be paralleled by the ladder symbol (for example, the input of such steps is often input. 1 switch and lamp), the ladder symbol is attached with the ladder symbol, and it should be controlled and attached. In terms of five, this is the same as working hard. The other is that the system is opposite and obvious. When combined, all efforts can be reported separately. The same. For example, the machine shows the relevant screen editing and address 5 collateral method. For example, the more one equation is entered, the more the equation is entered. For Shishi II, Shikou draws its component editor with Sl f |; ^ Information must be entered. Attached question The external system's data and ladder file and the screen external system's process of copying its data to the database file or screen file. For the previous editing equipment, because the data are all, there is a ladder diagram made by the database without an effective editor. For example, as shown in Fig. 84 (a), the name of the control target machine corresponding to its step mark or its operation and description are indicated. The communication information is based on the daytime plane created by the daytime plane editor when the address is assigned by the ladder editor and the address is assigned to the ladder mark together, as shown in Figure 8 4 (b). Paired components (for example, switches and lights) with accompanying information. For such ancillary information, set the component corresponding to the above address to the base screen and enter it. The more the additional information input by the step editor and day editor, the more time it will take, because it will refer to the programming data of one party, and it is likely that the additional information will occur. Programming error due to input error

Page 10 541447 V. Description of the invention (7) The debugging information must be prepared in advance, and it is ideal to make a ladder diagram for both at the same time. The production is made by the day and time, and the correction is performed on the surface, and the input entered in the above is recorded in the file and then passed to the two formulas or 7 It automatically generates most of the compound, the above mentioned drag and drop to the day ladder program and the week editor, so the method, the user will be more difficult. In addition, due to the preparation of the created program, there is a disadvantage that the operation efficiency is reduced. For the above editing equipment, it is possible to produce ladder diagrams and daytime surfaces, but because of low efficiency, it is usually used or the screen ratio of the other party is made first, so the above method is not suitable for ladders. The picture and the day are the same. In this way, once according to the completed ladder diagram or the other party, if you need to change the ladder instruction and change the diagram, you must first make the completed program (the ladder diagram or the daytime, which causes the disadvantage of reduced programming efficiency.) The equipment is mainly used by one party to edit the equipment ’s instructions such as ladder instructions and icons, and use it as a program to create another program. Because of this, the common data is pre-made, and then one is created based on its data. It is a two-party program, and this method cannot be done. The editing device 5 described above makes a step based on the completed screen. Although the icon can automatically generate a step instruction, the needle element cannot cooperate with multiple steps. In order to make the appropriate ladder circuit editable, every time you perform the operation of dragging the ladder mark on each of the editing windows, in order to restore the data (device name, address, etc.) common to the ladder screen to The daytime surface causes a problem of low processing efficiency. In addition, for such a coverage, the step mark is dragged from the step window to the daytime editor _____ __ Page 11 541447 V. Explanation of the invention (8) Wrong operation of the editing window [The invention of the invention can avoid the database. And it can be stored for editing. The editing equipment of this display content program is more suitable for production (1) The three means of this issue < and the control process with the control system for the first line of the content display operation can be input, etc. The main repetitive and easy-to-implement program is the invention of the formula and control and is used to correspond to the multi-capacity program. The content is provided as the operating medium system. The purpose is to edit the program and edit the program complexly and correspondingly to the invention. When the input is not purposed and the sample is stored in the secondary process of the external record, and the program is afraid that some ladder marks have not been dragged to have] the characteristics of the past editing equipment, and effective use of data data sharing Editing equipment and simplification by providing additional information input, production will be more efficient and progressive recording media The same equipment can be used to easily create programs and programs. In addition, the present invention also provides input composite components that can be automatically generated. This is a clear editing device that can make operation errors and more efficient according to the control program program. Contains the following display and control images with a display function section that displays the status of the control target machine and a control function section that controls the operation of the target machine. It will place the display content program executed by the display function section on the first editing screen.

Then, the created user program and the weekly surface are stored in a usable specific storage location (S 1 6). At this time, the first or second display / control system, once the user program and user screen are stored in the data file 3 3, will be downloaded to the programmable controller 2 and the programmable display 1 and stored in Memory body 12 in. Or the second display / control system, once the user program and the user are stored in the data file 33 in the daytime, it will be downloaded to the programmable display 1 and stored in the memory 12. The third display / control system is to store the user program and the user in the data case 33. In addition, the above examples are mainly for the day-to-day production or program design, and then execute the other party's procedure, but it is not limited to this, there may be two parties to execute at the same time. This procedure and the procedure described above are also the same for the implementation mode 2 and the implementation mode 3 described later. When the programming process (1) is executed first, the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG. 11 is followed. Here, in the computer device 3, the step editor 32a and the daytime editor 32b have been activated, and the display portion 35a of the display 35 (see FIG. 15 (a)) displays the editing daytime for the user's daytime creation. Window (first editing screen) window (hereinafter referred to as daytime window) 3 2 b 1 and display of editing screen (second editing screen) window for user program creation (hereinafter referred to as step window) 3 2 a 1 The opened state. Preemptive

Page 45 541447 The temporary location of the five-lamp image is as follows: The ladder has all the facts. Description of the invention (42) When programming (1), the most basic step is to start the ladder editing 3 2a. First, on the step window 3 2 a 1, the step marks are arranged with each input / output device 4 as a pair and the step instructions are described 2 1). Next, input the attribute data (S 2 2) such as the name and address of the described ladder instruction, and register the ladder symbol and attribute data in the file storage area (S 2 3). After that, the program design is judged in accordance with the user's operation. Here, if it is not completed, the processing flow will return the completed use logic to S 2 1. On the other hand, if the program is completed, the program will be registered on the ladder. Case 3 3a (S 2 5). The day-to-day production (2) that is to be continued is performed in accordance with the flow shown in the flowchart of FIG. First, the attribute data on the ladder mark (ladder instruction) registered in the ladder file 3 3 a is imported into the day-time file 3 3 b (S 3 1) in advance. Determine whether the step mark on the step window 3 2 a 1 has been dragged by a mouse or the like (S 3 2), and when it is dragged 5, determine whether the dragged step mark has been dragged onto the drawing production window 3 2 b 1 ( S 3 3). Here, if it is confirmed that the ladder symbol is actually dragged and dropped, a pair of windows D1 (refer to FIG. 1 5) including a plurality of icons having this function will be displayed according to the function included in the attribute material for the dragged ladder symbol (refer to FIG. 15). (c)) (S34). In the above program, the attribute data of the number of step marks created by the step editor 3 2 a are all copied to the screen file 3 3 b in the import step of S 3 1 in advance. However, on the contrary, the attribute data for a step number can also be successively used for each dragging and dragging.

P.46 541447 V. Description of Invention (43) was imported. In particular, when creating a ladder diagram containing a large number of ladder marks, the processing efficiency is greatly improved compared to importing all the attribute data at once. On the other hand, when making a ladder diagram with a small number of ladder marks, even if the attribute data is imported one by one, the production efficiency should not decrease. Therefore, the best way to import is based on the size of the ladder diagram and other factors.

After that, one of several icons displayed in the dialog window D1 is selected, and the icon will be registered in the file temporary storage area (S35). Next, it is determined whether or not the operation of the user has ended the day-and-surface creation process (S 3 6). Here, if it is not finished, the process will be returned to S 3 1. If it is finished, the created user will be registered in the screen file 3 3 b (S 3 7). Here, a specific example of daytime surface creation processing (2) using the program of the flowchart of FIG. 12 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 15 (a), the ladder window 32al has already drawn the ladder editor 32a. The drawn ladder symbol L representing the switch (input) and the ladder symbol L (output) are drawn. In view of the above factors, as shown in FIG. 16, the ladder file 3 3 a has registered information about switches and lights. More specifically, at least n SW1 π as a name and π χΒΟΟΟ Γ as an address are registered as switches. In addition, as for the minimum number of lights, "L A Μ Ρ 1 π" as a name and π Υ Β Ο Ο Ο Γ as an address are registered.

In this state, the screen creation window 3 2 b 1 is opened as shown in FIG. 15 (a). Next, as shown in FIG. 15 (b), when dragging and dragging the ladder symbol L in the ladder window 3 2 a 1 to the screen creation window 32bl, as shown in FIG. 15 (c), the dialog window D1 will be displayed On the screen making window 32bl

Page 47 541447 V. Description of Invention (44). As mentioned above, the attribute data about all the ladder symbols created by using the ladder editor 3 2 a is imported in advance to copy all to the screen / file 3 3 b. Or, the attribute data of a ladder mark will be imported one by one when dragging and dropping. The import is implemented as shown in Figure 16 by temporarily storing the attribute data in the clipboard and then copying it to the screen file 3 3 b. In the dialog window D1, among several types of icons with switch functions, select an appropriate icon, as shown in FIG. 15 (d). In addition to the image M of the selected icon, it is displayed in the screen creation window. In addition to 3 2 b 1, a dialog window D2 containing attribute data (name n SW1 π and characteristic π ON ") will be displayed together. Here, if the 0 K button is pressed, the icon M and attribute data on the screen creation window 3 2 b 1 are confirmed. The graphic data and attribute data of the switch icon M will be related and stored in , The graphic data file section 3 3 b 1 and the attribute data file section 3 3 b 2 of the screen file 3 3b (see FIG. 16). Therefore, the user can dispense with the operation of drawing the switch icon on the screen creation window 32bl and the operation of inputting necessary attribute data, and the user can easily create the user's daytime surface. On the other hand, if the day-surface production process (1) is executed first, it is performed according to the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG. In this computer device 3, the step editor 32a and the daytime editor 32b have been activated, and the step window 32a1 and the daytime window 3 in the display portion 35a of the display 35 (see FIG. 17 (a)). 2 b 1 has been turned on at the same time. However, the screen making process is performed first (1) in I —ί ί. * II lii ^

Here, if it is not completed, the processing flow will return to S 4 1. On the other hand, if it is completed, the created user will be registered in the screen file 33 b (S45). 〇 For the program to continue execution The design (2) is performed according to the flow shown in the flowchart of FIG. 14. _ First, the attribute data about the icons registered in the day-to-day audit case 3 3 b is imported to the step file 33a (S51). Determine whether the icon on the screen & window 32bl has been dragged (S 5 2). If it is dragged, determine whether the dragged drawing has been dragged onto the ladder window 3 2 a 1 (S 5 3). Here, if the icon is indeed dragged and dropped, the function included in the attribute data of the icon being dragged, the step mark corresponding to the function, and the above attribute data will be displayed (S54). In the above-mentioned program, the attribute data of all the arranged icons created by using the daytime editor 32b is copied to the ladder project 3 3a in advance in the remittance step of S 51 in advance. However, the opposite attribute poor material 5 for an icon _ can also be imported one by one each time dragging and dragging are performed, and the displayed step marks are registered in the file temporary storage area (S 5 5

P. 49 541447 V. Description of Invention (46)). Next, it is determined whether the user's operation has ended the programming process (S 5 6). If it is not finished, the process returns to S 5 1. If it is finished, the created user program is registered in the step file 33 a (S57). Here, a specific example of programming processing (2) using the program of the flowchart of FIG. 14 will be described. First, as shown in Fig. 17 (a), the picture creation window 3 2 b 1 has already been configured with the icon M of the representative switch (input) drawn by using the day and night editor 3 2 b. With the above-mentioned factors, the screen file 33b is registered with the data about the switch as shown in FIG. More specifically, n S W 1 π as a name and π XB 0 0 0 1 π as an address are registered as a switch. In this state, as shown in FIG. 17 (a), the stepped window 32al is opened. Then, as shown in FIG. 17 (b), when the icon M in the daytime production window 3 2 b 1 is dragged and dragged to the step window 3 2 a 1, as shown in FIG. 17 (c), the step The mark L and the dialog window D 3 will be displayed on the screen creation window 3 2 b 1. As mentioned above, using the daytime editor 3 2 b, the attribute data about all the diagrams is created, because all the data are copied to the ladder file 3 3 a in advance. Or, the attribute data of an icon will be imported one by one during drag and drop. The import is shown in FIG. 18, which is realized by temporarily storing the attribute data in the clipboard CB and then copying it to the step file 3 3a. Next, as shown in FIG. 17, in addition to the ladder symbol L corresponding to the switch function, it will be drawn on the ladder window 32al, and a dialog window D 3 containing the attribute data (name " S W 1 π) will be displayed. Here, when the 0 K button is pressed,

Page 50 541447 V. Description of the invention (47) The ladder symbol L and attribute data on the ladder window 3 2 a 1 are confirmed. The order and attribute data about the ladder symbol L of the switch will be established and related. A command file section 3 3 a 1 and an attribute data section 3 3 a 2 in the ladder file 3 3 a (see FIG. 18). Therefore, the user can dispense with the operation of drawing the step marks of the switch on the step window 32al and the operation of inputting the necessary attribute data, and the user's day surface can be made relatively easily. According to the above, the configuration of the first to third display / control systems related to this embodiment mode are each provided with a step file 3 3 a for storing a user program created by the step editor 32 a and a storage operation screen.

Examples of variable names include S W 1 corresponding to a switch and L A MP P 1 corresponding to a lamp, and event names using symbols and operation instructions of a corresponding device (input / output device 4) and operating status of the device. The variable created under this variable name is used to establish the input / output number (I / 0 address) desired by the corresponding device in advance as described above. The daytime data as the inherent data includes image data, text data and component data. The image data is graphic data such as lines, circles, ellipses, triangles, quadrilaterals, and filled graphics. The text data includes the user ’s daily headlines and articles composed of text and symbols. The component data is prepared in advance in the day-and-day editor 3 2 b. The component information includes the component name and the variable name as display symbol data. As the component name, for example, the name of the switch A in which a specific switch is distinguished and the component number (for example, a number composed of a combination of English letters and numbers) can be selected from a variety of switches. In addition, although it is not illustrated graphically as the daytime data, it includes the function section for setting the daylight function described above. ί As common data, variable data is common information for user programs and users. It consists of variable names and addresses (I / 0 address, etc.). The variable data is included in the attribute data. In addition, variables can also be set to bit, integer, real, and so on. Such data and variable data are included in attribute data. The project file 42 shown in Figure 2 3 is considered to contain

P.58 541447 V. Description of the invention (55) It is constituted by a database of specific materials related to donation. In the project audit case 42, the control data and day-time data and variable data are each composed of relation tables. Because of this, the variable name of the variable data is used as the basic key, while the variable name of the control data is regarded as the external key, and the variable data and the control data are combined to form a user program. In addition, the variable name of the variable data is regarded as the basic key, while the variable name of the day-time data is regarded as the external key, and the variable data and the day-time data are combined to form the user's day-time surface. For example, because the relational database is expressed in the form of a table, the ladder editor 32a and the screen editor 32b can read and write CSV (

Comma Separated Value) can be used to read the data created by the database software and spreadsheet software sold in the market into this database, and the reverse can be performed. In this way, the user program and the user screen are established under the management of the file management section 32f through the variable data to establish the correlation between them. Therefore, the display actions and control actions in the display / control systems Nos. 1-3 will establish mutual correlation. Project files 4 2 are not-only relational databases, and other database levels such as hierarchical data banks, computer network databases, and object-oriented data thickness% · are applicable. For example, the intelligent layer database is shown in Figure 24. After the variable name is configured as the root segment (segment), the control data (ladder instruction) and daytime data (component name) and address are treated as The lower-level subordinate sections are configured, and the image data and text data are regarded as the lower-level data of the day-surface data.

Page 59 541447 V. Description of the invention (56) The hierarchical structure of the subordinate section is formed for each variable name. Also, in the computer network-type database, the parent section of the subordinate section is required to comply with the subordinate section. The object-oriented database is shown in Figure 25. The ladder instruction (such as LD), component name (such as switch A), variable name (such as SW 1), and address (such as XB 0 0 0 1) are encapsulated. Components such as switches are handled as objects. The ladder instruction, component name, and address are processed as data in each object, and the variable names are processed as procedures. Therefore, each data is accessed by the variable name (reference of each data). The second display / control system shown in FIG. 26 is the same as the first display / control system described above. Although the programmable display 1 and the programmable controller 2 are included, the configuration of the programmable display 1 here is further provided. With the function of programmable controller, it can directly control the input and output of machine 4. Because of this, in addition to the static random access memory (SRAM) 1 2c provided in the memory section 12, the programmable display 1 is provided with the input / output device 20 and input / output ( I / O) Control Interface 21. The third display / control system shown in FIG. 27 is constituted by a computer device 3 which is an open control, and is provided with a computer for connecting to the input / output device 4 instead of the computer in the first display / control system. The input / output device 39 and the input / output (I / 0) control interface 400 of the interface portion 38 of the device 3, and the computer device 3 includes an interface device 41 connected to the open computer network 8. Because of this, the computer device 3 will be connected to other computer devices, programmable displays, programmable controllers, etc. via the open computer network 8

Page 60 541447 V. Description of the invention (57) The computer device 3 will be made using the ladder editor 32a and stored in the project file 42. The user program will be executed according to the control function program. On the other hand, since the computer device 3 is in the connected state, the step editor 32a or the screen editor 32b is activated, and an editing device for creating a user program or a user's face will function. Here, the user program and the user screen creation program in the first to third display / control systems will be described with reference to the flowcharts in FIGS. 28 to 31. When the programming process (1) is executed first, the procedure shown in the flowchart of Fig. 28 is followed. Here, in the computer device 3, the step editor 3 2 a and the day and day editor 3 2 b have been activated, and the display portion 3 5 a of the display 35 (see FIG. 3 2 (a)) is displayed for use. The editing screen window 3 2 b 1 for daytime surface creation and the editing daytime window 3 2 a 1 for user program creation are displayed at the same time. However, when the programming process (1) is performed first, the ladder editor 3 2 a must also be started. First, on the step window 32al, the step marks are arranged with the input / output devices 4 as objects, and the step instructions are described (S 6 1). Then enter the attribute data (S 6 2) containing the variable data (variable name and address) used for the described ladder instruction, and register the ladder mark and attribute data in the file temporary storage area (S63). After that, it is judged whether or not the programming process is completed in accordance with the user's operation (S64). Here, if it is not finished, the processing flow will return to S 6 2; on the other hand, if it has ended, the created user program will be registered in the project file 4 2 (S 6 5

Page 61 541447 V. Description of the invention (58)) 0 For the screen creation (2) to be performed continuously, follow the flow shown in the flowchart in Fig. 29. First, determine whether the step mark on the step window 3 2 a 1 has been dragged by a mouse or the like (S 7 1). If it is dragged, determine whether the dragged step mark has been dragged onto the daytime production window 32bl. (S72). Here, if it is confirmed that the ladder mark is actually dragged and dropped, in order to extract the variable name for the dragged ladder mark from the variable data registered in the database, the variable data is searched in the database of the project file 42 ( S73). Next, according to the function included in the variable name of the dragged ladder symbol, a dialog view® window D 1 including a plurality of icons having the function will be displayed (refer to FIG. 3 2 (c)) (S 7 4). Then, it is determined whether or not one icon is selected from the plurality of icons displayed in the dialog window D1 (S 7 5). If the icon is selected, the icon is displayed (S 7 6) and registered in the file temporary storage area (S 7 7). Next, it is determined whether or not the screen creation process is completed in accordance with the user's operation (S 7 8). Here, if it is not finished, the processing flow will return to S 7 1. Otherwise, if it has ended, the created user screen will be registered in the project file 42 (S79). In addition, the processing from S 7 3 to S 7 6 is provided to provide users with a considerable degree of freedom when selecting icons. Therefore, if the degree of freedom is not required, as long as the illustration is fixed to a kind, the processing of S 7 3 to S 7 6 can be omitted. In this case, for example, the number data (component number) of the fixed switch is registered in the library in advance.

P.62 541447 V. Description of the Invention (59) Here, a specific example of daytime surface processing (2) using the program shown in the flowchart of Fig. 45 will be described. First, as shown in Figure 4 7 (a), the ladder window 32 2 a 1 has already been drawn using the ladder editor 32 a, the drawn ladder symbol L representing the switch (input) and the ladder symbol L of the light (output) are drawn. '. With the above factors, as shown in Fig. 48, the data file 33 is registered with data on switches and lamps. More specifically, the switch also registers at least the variable name n S W 1 π and the address π X B 0 0 0 1 π as data files. In addition, the variable name " LAMPln and address 16 0 0 0 1 ", which are common information, are registered for the least number of lights. In this state, as shown in FIG. 3 2 (a), the daytime surface creation window 3 2 b 1 is opened. Next, as shown in FIG. 3 2 (b), drag and drop the ladder symbol L in the ladder window 3 2 a 1 to the screen making window 3 2 b 1, as shown in FIG. 3 3, from the project file The extracted variable data is temporarily stored in the scrapbook CB. Next, the daytime editor 32b will refer to the variable data, and as shown in FIG. 32 (c), the dialog window D1 will be displayed on the daytime creation window 32bl. As mentioned above, use the ladder editor 3 2 a to select and draw the attribute data about all the ladder marks, and register all of them to the project file 42 in advance. Therefore, the daytime editor 32b will display the dialog window D1 according to the variable data. · Among the several types of icons with switch functions in dialog window D1, select an appropriate icon, as shown in Figure 32 (d). In addition to the image M of the selected icon, it is displayed on the screen. In addition to window 3 2 b 1, the dialog window D2 containing attribute data (variable name "SW1 " and characteristic π 0ΝΠ) will

Page 63 541447 V. Description of the invention (60) is displayed together. Here, if the 0K button is pressed, the icon M and the 4-sided data on the screen creation window 32bl are confirmed. The data and attribute data will be related and stored in the database of the project file 4 2 (refer to Figure 3 3). Therefore, the user can dispense with the operation of drawing a switch icon on the screen creation window 3 2 b 1 and the operation of inputting necessary attribute data, and it is quite easy to create the user's day surface. On the other hand, if the day surface is executed first The creation process (1) is performed in accordance with the program shown in the flowchart of FIG. 30. In this computer device 3, the ladder editor 3 2 a and the screen editor 3 2 b have been activated, and the display portion 3 5 a of the display 3 5 (see FIG. 3 4 (a)) has a stepped window 3 2 a. 1 and screen creation window 3 2 b 1 have been opened at the same time. However, when the day-to-day production process (1) is performed first, the screen editor 3 2 b must be started as a basic matter. First, on the daytime production window 3 2 b 1, the illustrated arrangement is performed for each input / output device 4 (S 8 1). Then enter the attribute data (S 8 2) containing the variable data to be used for the icon to be configured, and register the icon and attribute data in the file temporary storage area (S 8 3). After that, it is judged whether or not the day and night production processing is completed in accordance with the user's operation (S84). Here, if it is not completed, the processing flow will return to S 8 1. On the other hand, if it is completed, the created user will be registered in the project file 42 (S85) on the day. The production process (2) is performed in accordance with the flow shown in the flowchart of FIG. 31. First, determine whether the icon on the screen creation window 32bl has been dragged

P.64 541447 V. Description of the invention (61) (S9 1), if dragged, judge whether the dragged icon has been dragged to the step window 3 2 a 1 (S 9 2). Here, if it is confirmed that the icon is actually dragged and dropped, in order to extract the variable name for the dragged icon from the variable data registered in the database, search the variable data in the database of the project file 42 ( S 9 3). Next, according to the function of the variable name included in the dragged ladder symbol, in addition to the ladder symbol corresponding to the function, the above-mentioned attribute data (at least a variable name must also be displayed) will be displayed together (S94 ). After that, the displayed ladder mark is registered in the file temporary storage area (S 9 5). Next, it is determined whether or not the programming process is completed in accordance with the user's operation (S 9 6). Here, if it is not finished, the processing flow will return to S 5 2; on the other hand, if it is finished, the created user program will be registered in the project file 4 2 (S 9 7). Here, a specific example of programming processing (2) using the program of the flowchart of FIG. 31 will be described. First, as shown in Fig. 3 4 (a), the day-surface production window 3 2 b 1 is already configured with the icon M of the representative switch (input) drawn by using the day-surface editor 3 2b. With the above factors, the project file 42 is registered with the information about the switch as shown in Figure 35. More specifically, n S W Γ as a variable name and π X Β 0 0 0 1 π as the address of the switch are registered at least. In this state, the step window 3 2 a 1 is opened as shown in FIG. 34 (a). Then, as shown in FIG. 3 4 (b), when the icon M in the screen creation window 3 2 b 1 is dragged and dragged to the ladder window 3 2 a 1, as shown in FIG. 3 5, the project file will be removed from the project file. 4 2 The extracted variable data is temporarily saved in the scrapbook

Page 65 541447 V. Description of the invention (62) In the thin CB. Next, the step editor 32a will refer to the variable data, and as shown in FIG. 34 (c), the step symbol and dialog window D3 will be displayed on the step window 32al. As described above, the attribute data on all the icons created by the screen editor 3 2 b is registered in the project file 42 in advance. Therefore, the step editor 3 2 a will display the dialog window D 3 according to the variable data. Specifically, in addition to the ladder symbol L corresponding to the switch function, it will be drawn on the ladder window 32al, and a dialog window D 3 containing variable data (variable name n S W 1 n) will be displayed. Here, if the 0K button of the dialog window D 3 is pressed, the step symbol L and the control data on the step window 3 2 a 1 are confirmed, and the control data and variable data on the step symbol L of the switch will be confirmed. Establish its relevance and store it in the project file 4 2 (refer to Figure 3 5). Therefore, the user can dispense with the operation of drawing the step marks of the switch on the step window 3 2 a 1 and the operation of inputting the necessary attribute data, and the user program can be made relatively easily. As described above, the first to third display / control systems related to this embodiment are provided with attribute data (especially variable data) common to the user program and the user's day and day, and control inherent to the user program. The data and the day-and-day data inherent to the day and night of the person are stored in the project file 42 and the file management unit 3 2 f manages them in a unified manner. In addition, these display / control systems are configured so that, in accordance with the copy function unit 32e, the ladder editor 3 2 a generates control data and draws the ladder in accordance with the drag and drop actions of the ladder mark or the icon. mark. On the other hand, in addition to letting the day-and-day editor 3 2 b generate day-and-day data, and letting it draw icons.

Page 66 541447 V. Description of the invention (63) Because of this, all the data are managed by the project file 4 2, which can easily achieve data management. In addition, compared with the configuration in which data is stored in separate files for the step editor 32a and the daytime editor 32b, the operation of copying files between files in order to hold variable files in separate files is unnecessary. In addition, the user program and the user can also be downloaded from the project file 42 to the programmable display 1 at a time. In addition, because the project files 4 2 are used for official data, various greed materials can be constructed according to their uses. In addition, although this embodiment has been described with respect to the example in which the stepped window 32al and the screen making window 3 2 b 1 are displayed on the same display 3 5, the present invention as shown in FIG. 36 is also applicable to a computer The network displays ladder windows and screen creation windows based on databases of different models. [Embodiment Mode 3] A third embodiment mode of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 37 to 49, and the contents are as follows. The first display / control system shown in FIG. 37 is the same as the display / control system of the aforementioned embodiment 1, and includes a programmable display 1 and a programmable controller 2. The computer device 3 connected to the programmable display 1 and the computer device 3 of the display / control system shown in FIG. 1 are provided with a central processing unit 31, an editing unit 3, a data file 3, a memory unit 3, and a display. 3 5, input device 3 6, external memory device 37 and interface section 38.

Page 67 541447 V. Description of the invention (64) The data copy function of the system, in the ladder diagram created by using the ladder editor 32a, the icon corresponding to the ladder mark is displayed in the screen creation window 32bl, except for the day In addition to the automatic generation (drawing) of the editor, the incidental information of the step mark is provided to the day-time editor 32b as the nameplate information (incidental information) shown in the figure. The copy function unit 32g also uses the data copy function of the operating system. In the screen created by using the screen editor 3 2 b, the steps corresponding to the illustration are marked in the step window 32al, except that the steps are edited. In addition to the automatic generation (drawing) of the device 32a, it provides incidental information using the illustrated nameplate information as a step mark. In addition, the copy function section 3 2 g will include the attribute data of the ladder symbol and common data (variable (variable name) and address) common to the icon, and provide it to the ladder editor 3 2 a and the daylight together with the accompanying information Face Editor 3 2 b. Specifically, the provision of supplementary information is performed by using a scrapbook CB, which will be described later in the memory section 34, by using drag and drop or copy and paste functions. The data structure stored in the scrapbook CB is represented by the header number (header ocde), memory size, object type, appointment, number of symbols (N), address information (1 ~ N), and Constructed by appointment. Among them, the so-called memory size is the memory capacity required for storing data in the clipboard CB. The object type is to set the object type in advance when the component is stored in the scrapbook CB. This object type is set with bit switches, toggle switches, lights, numerical displays, bar charts, circular charts, semi-circular charts, cylindrical charts, counting charts and settings as shown in Figure 3 8 (b).

Composition of symbolic name, address (address name), address additional information, variable comment, object type reserved byte number, and basis of appointment indicated by invention description (65). Address Ancillary information is information about the type of symbol (integer symbol, descriptive symbol). Variable annotations are displayed with various annotations related to variables, along with step marks and icons. The object type for the address information must be the same as the above object type content, and specify which address corresponds to which component, because so only the bit switches of the necessary components will be turned on. In addition, the above-mentioned copy function section 3 2 g may be included in one of the step editor 3 2 a or the day-and-day editor 3 2 b as one function. In the data file 33, for example, as shown in Figure 3 9 (a), the user® program will be stored in the ladder file 3 3a, as shown in Figure 40 (a), and the user will be stored in the daytime Picture file 3 3 b. The step file 3 3 a is composed of an order broadcasting section 3 3 a 1 and a common data broadcasting section 3 3 a 2. The command file section 3 3 a 1 stores the step instructions and calculation values corresponding to the inputted ladder symbols. The common data file section 3 3 a 2 is for the command file section 33 a1, which will change the variable names and bits of the device for the above-mentioned step instructions Address for storage. The screen file 33b is composed of a graphic data file section 3 3bl and a common data file section 3 3 b 2. The graphic data file department 3 3 b 1 stores data about the repair of various graphics (circles, lines, quadrilaterals, character lines, etc.) as components of the icon. The attribute data file section 3 3b 2 is corresponding to the graphic data file section 3 3 b 1, and stores the variable names and addresses of the devices entered in the illustrated diagram. 0

Type (ο η) and type (〇ff) are the graphic data of the component. When a switch is used as an example, the prepared The component numbers of one or several switches represent the on (on) state and the off (0ff) state, respectively. The above-mentioned component numbers are numbers attached to each component, for example, a combination of English letters and numbers. The name plate (ο η) and the name plate (〇 f f) are information of the name plate attached to the figure, which also represent the on state and the off (〇 f f) state, respectively. Since the step file 3 3a and the day-surface file 33b are related to each other through the common data file section 3 3 a 2, 3 3 b 2, the display actions and control actions in the first to third display / control systems are Interrelated. In addition, the data file 3 3 may be added with a common data base 3 3 d as shown in FIG. 41. The common database 3 3 d includes the variable names and addresses that should be stored in the common data archives 33a, 33b2, and corresponding ladder symbols and icon functions (switches, lights, etc.) as attribute data. Such a common database 33d is provided as described later, and is provided as a storage section for creating a user program in the step editor 32a or the screen editor 32b or a common data of the daytime user. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 4 2, the data file 33 can also be removed from the integrated type of the aforementioned step file 33a and daytime file 33b. The data file 33 is composed of an order file department 3 3e, a graphic data file department 3 3f, and a common data file department 3 3g.

Page 70 541447 V. Description of the invention (67) The foregoing contains the detailed information shown in Figure 40 (b). When the data file 3 3 is used, the copy of the attribute data between the step file 3 3 a and the screen file 3 3 b by the copy function section 3 2 g is unnecessary. The second display / control system shown in FIG. 4 is the same as the first display / control system described above. Although the programmable display 1 and the programmable controller 2 are included, the configuration of the programmable display 1 is more detailed here. It has the function of a programmable controller, which can directly control the input and output of the machine 4. Because of this, the programmable display 1 is equipped with a static random access memory (SRAM) 1 2c in the memory section 12 and is provided with an input / output device 2 0 and a force input in the aforementioned communication controller 19. Input / output (ί / 0) control interface 2 1. The third display / control system shown in FIG. 4 is composed of a computer device 3 as an open Φ controller, and is provided to connect to the input / output device 4 instead of the first display / control system. The input / output device 39 and the input / output (I / 0) control interface 40 of the interface unit 38 of the computer device 3 are provided with an interface device 41 which is connected to the open computer network 8. Here, the user programs in the first to third display / control systems and the user's day-time production program will be described with reference to the flowcharts of Figs. 45 to 46. When the program design process (1) is executed first, the same process as that of the program in the implementation mode 2 (see FIG. 28) is performed. However, the procedure of registering the user program in the data file 3 3 in the processing step 5 of S 6 5 is different from the implementation mode 2.

Page 71 541447 V. Description of the invention (68) For the screen creation to be executed next, follow the procedure shown in the flowchart in Fig. 4.5. First, determine whether the step mark on the step window 32al has been dragged by a mouse or the like (S 1 0 1). If it has been dragged, determine whether the dragged step mark has been dragged onto the daytime production window 3 2 b 1 Up (S 1 0 2). Here, if it is confirmed that the ladder mark is actually dragged and dropped, in order to extract the common tribute material for the dragged ladder s' in the tribute material library 3 3 (common data archives department 3 3 a 2 Or 3 3 g or a common database 3 3 d) to perform a search operation (S103). Next, a dialog window D1 (see FIG. 47 (c)) including a plurality of icons having the function will be displayed according to the function of the variable name assigned to the dragged staircase mark (S104). After that, it is determined whether one icon is selected from the plural icons displayed in the dialog window D 1 (S 1 0 5). If an icon is selected, the icon is browsed and displayed (S1 0 6), and registered in the file temporary storage area (S 1 0 7). Next, according to the user's operation, it is judged whether or not the day-to-day production process is finished (S) 0 8). Here, if it is not finished, its processing flow will return to S 1 0 1. On the other hand, if it is finished, the created user screen will be registered in the data file 33 (S109).

The processing from S 103 to S 106 is set to provide the user with a considerable degree of freedom when selecting an icon. Therefore, if this degree of freedom is not required, as long as the illustration is fixed to one type, the processing from S 103 to S 106 can be omitted. In this case, for example, the number data (component number) of the fixed switch is registered in the library in advance. Here, a specific example of daytime surface creation processing (2) using the program of the flowchart of FIG. 45 will be described. First, as shown in Figure 4 7 (a), the ladder window 3 2 a 1 has already been drawn using the ladder editor 3 2 a. The drawn ladder symbol L representing the switch (input) and the ladder of the lamp (output) are drawn. Symbol L '. With the above factors, the data file 33 is registered with the data about the switches and lights as shown in Fig. 48. More specifically, the switch also registers at least the variable name n S W Γ and the address π X B 0 0 0 1 π as the data file. In addition, regarding the minimum number of lights, the variable name nLAMPl " and the address 1 'ΥΒ 0 0 0 1 Π, which are common information, are registered. In this state, the picture creation window 3 2 b 1 is opened as shown in FIG. 4 7 (a). Then, drag and drop the step symbol L in the step window 3 2 a 1 to the day-side production window 3 2 b 1, as shown in FIG. 4 7 (b), the dialog window D 1 will be displayed in the day-side production window 3 2 b 1 on. When the ladder symbol L is dragged, as shown in FIG. 48, the common data for the switches extracted from the ladder file 33al (the common database 33d or the common data archive section 33g) will be temporarily saved in the scrapbook.

Among the several types of icons with switch functions in the dialog window D1, select an appropriate icon, as shown in Fig. 4 7 (c). In addition to the selected icon, the image M is displayed on the screen. In addition to the production windows 3 2 b 1, a dialog window D 4 containing nameplate information (nameplate n SW 1 π) is displayed together. Here, when the 0K button is pressed, the icon M and attribute data on the screen creation window 3 2 b 1 are confirmed. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 48, the graphic data (component information) and common data for the switch icon M will be related and stored in the graphic data file section 3 3 b 1 of the daytime file 3 3 b. And Common Information Archives Department 33b2. For example, when the data file 3 3 has the structure shown in FIG. 4, the common data about the user program and the user ’s day and night has already been stored in the data file 3 3 and was awarded to the screen editor 3 2 b by the scrapbook CB. The common data will only be saved to the graphics data file department 3 3 f. Such a result, as shown in FIG. 4 (d), a diagram M 1 including a switch of the name plate n S W 1 π will be drawn on the day-time production window 3 2 b 1. When the same operation is performed on the lamp, the icon M2 including the switch of the nameplate ΠLAMP1Π will be drawn on the screen creation window 32bl. Therefore, the user can dispense with the operation of drawing the step marks of the switch on the step window 3 2 a 1 and the operation of inputting the necessary common data, and the user program can be made relatively easily. When creating user screens, the need to re-enter nameplate information disappears.

P.74 541447 V. Description of the invention (71) On the other hand, when the day surface preparation processing (1) is performed first, the same processing as the procedure in the implementation mode 2 (see FIG. 30) is performed. However, in step S85, the operation of registering the user to the data file 33 in the day and time is different from the procedure of the implementation mode 2. As for the program design creation processing (2) that continues to be executed, the process shown in the flowchart in FIG. 46 is performed. First, determine whether the icon on the screen creation window 32bl has been dragged (S 1 1 1). If it is dragged, determine whether the dragged icon has been dragged onto the ladder window 3 2 a 1 (S 1 1 2). Here, if it is confirmed that the icon is actually dragged and dropped, in order to extract the common data for the dragged and dropped icon, in the database of the data file 3 3 (the image data file department 3 3 b 1 or 3 3 f) A common data search is performed (S 1 1 3). Next, according to the functions contained in the attribute data of the icon for the dragged food, in addition to the step marks corresponding to the functions, the above-mentioned common data (at least also a variable name) will also be displayed (S 1 1 4). After that, the displayed ladder mark is registered in the file temporary storage area (S115). Next, it is determined whether the programming process is completed in accordance with the user's operation (S 1 1 6). If it is not finished, the processing flow will return to S] 1 2. On the other hand, if it is finished, the created user program will be registered in the data file 33 (S117). Moreover, when creating a user's day and registering the common data to the common data file 33b2 or the common database 33d, the common data is registered in the data temporary area in step S115 and stored in step S 1 1 7 To the Common Data Archives Department 3 3 a 2. Create user screen and register common data

P.75 541447 V. Description of the invention (72) When the common data filing department 3 3g, the common data is registered in the data temporary storage area in step S 1 1 5 and stored in step 1 1 7 to Command file section 33e ° Here, a specific example of programming processing (2) using the program of the flowchart in FIG. 46 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 49 (a), the screen creation window 32bl is already equipped with the daytime editor 3 2b, and the icon M and the nameplate n S W 1 π of the representative switch (input) are drawn. With the above factors, the data eaves case 33 is shown in Fig. 50, and at least the data about the switch is also registered. More specifically, the switch has at least n SW1 ", which is a variable name, and address 3: 6 0 0 0 1 ", which are variable data, registered. In this state, the stepped window 3 2 a 1 is opened as shown in FIG. 4 9 (a). Next, when dragging and dropping the icon M in the daytime production window 3 2 b 1 to the step window 3 2 a 1, as shown in FIG. 4 9 (a), except for the step mark corresponding to the function of the switch L is drawn on the step editor 3 2 a 1, and a dialog window D5 including annotated information (n SW1 ") is displayed. In addition, when the icon M is dragged, as shown in FIG. 50, the address and nameplate information for the switch extracted from the day-to-day audit case 3 3b (the image data file section 3 3 b 1) is temporarily stored. For scrapbook CB. Next, the icon M is dragged (P83), and the common data is given to the step editor 3 2 a from the scrapbook C Β. The ladder editor 3 2 a displays a dialog window D 1 about the ladder mark (LD command) assigned to the switch according to the address and nameplate information. Here, when the 0K button is pressed, the step mark L and attribute data on the step window 3 2 a 1 are confirmed. Therefore, as shown in FIG.

Page 76 541447 V. Description of the invention (73) The order and attribute data of the ladder mark L that should be switched will be established and stored in the ladder file 3 3 a 3 3 a 1 and the common data file department 3 3 a 2. Such a result, as shown in Fig. 49 (c), the step symbol L containing the name of the switch "S W 1" will be drawn on the step window 3 2 a 1. Therefore, the user can dispense with the operation of drawing the step marks of the switch on the step window 3 2 a 1 and the operation of inputting the necessary attribute data, and the user program can be made relatively easily. When creating a user screen, it is no longer necessary to re-enter the name of the input / output device 4 corresponding to the step symbol and the step symbol. In addition, when the step file 3 3 a is used as shown in FIG. 3 9 (b), as described above, the nameplate information can be assigned to the step mark. This ladder file 3 3a is an area commonly used by general ladder editors that do not use variables, and has a comment (with information) corresponding to these ladder instructions and operation values. Therefore, when the ladder file 3 3 a is used, the address and nameplate information extracted from the image data file section 3 3 b 1 will be copied to the calculated value and annotation area as the icon M is dragged and dropped. in. Then, as shown in FIG. 39 (b), when the annotation registered in the step file 33a is allocated to the nameplate information shown in the figure, the process is performed using a procedure opposite to that described above. At this time, the above-mentioned annotations are stored together with the nameplate information as variables in the common data file section 33b2. As described above, the configuration of the first to third display / control systems related to this embodiment mode is to use the copy function section 3 2 g, in addition to copying the attribute data of the step marks to the daytime file 3 3 b, and Attribute data

Page 77 541447 V. Description of the invention (74) Copy to ladder file has common attributes. In addition, when each display is included in the daytime surface of the user who is made up of the icon ladder symbol on the daytime surface of the user, the need to lose the report will be digested, and the icon can be prevented from being input. The implementation of Ziyi's additional number as an incidental will make it easier to use the less common step-by-step incidental information, and the 5 real examples are examples of the user's day program. For example, in case 33a. Therefore, the two talented cases 33a, 33b can hold data, and can easily establish the relationship between the two broadcasts. The display / control system is implemented by using the copy function 3 2g, except for the ladder mark of the user program that will be formed. Incidental information, the icon of the user's screen will be included in the information on the nameplate attached to the created application, and will be assigned to the order. Therefore, it is not possible to create a user program and a nameplate with information and icons that use each step mark. Because of this, in addition to making the input operation simple, the ladder symbol corresponding to the same input / output machine 4 and the same incidental information can be used. Each of the display / control systems of the system is provided by the scrapbook C B. The material contains incidental information, and the editor can accommodate information and the arrangement of ladder marks and icons. In addition, because the information is used differently, the information is shared and the data is managed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 39 (b), the ladder editor 3 2a includes variable names of the ladder file 33a, which was previously used for market editing and editing, and can also be accessed by the screen editor 3 2 b. Although the application type is based on the created user program or surface, the description is made for the creation of individual user screens or use, but it does not limit the user program and the user program that have been created. Between user screens

P.78 541447 V. Description of the Invention (7 5) When dragging and dropping, or copying and pasting, only functions with access to information are included in the present invention. [Embodiment Mode 4] The fourth embodiment mode of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 51 to 61, and the contents are as follows. The first display / control system shown in FIG. 51 is the same as the display / control system of the first embodiment (see FIG. 1), and includes a programmable display 1 and a programmable controller 2. The computer device 3 connected to the programmable display 1 and the computer device 3 of the display / control system shown in FIG. 1 are provided with a central processing unit 3 1, an editing unit 3, a data file 3 3, and a memory unit 3. 4. Display 3 5. Input device 3 6. External memory device 37 and interface section 38. The editing section 32 includes a step editor 32 a, a day editor 3 2 b, and a variable management section 32h. The variable management unit 32h, which is a registration means, takes the ladder instructions and the representative functions (switches, lights, timers, counters, etc.) of the diagram as function attributes, and assigns them to the ladder editor 3 2 a and the day and time editor 3 2 b The entered variables are registered in the data file 33 in this form. As a method of registering a variable, the following two method examples can be cited. The first method is to select a desired ladder instruction from the ladder instruction group ι || prepared in the ladder editor 3 2 a, and a screen for registering variables will be displayed (eg, FIG. 52 (b) described later) Dialog window), register its variables. The second method is to register the variables first, and after that,

Page 79 541447 V. Description of the invention (7 6) The ladder instruction input is configured with the registered variables. Examples of the method for assigning a functional attribute to a variable include the following two method examples. The first method is to include the reserved words in its variables, and the functional attributes can be assigned to the variables. Specifically, a variable such as nS **** n (* stands for any character and number) including the S reservation word in front is used as a switch variable. Similarly, the variables in front of the reserved words including L, T, C, etc. are each regarded as a lamp variable, a timer variable, and a counter variable. The second method is to make the variable have the function attribute. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 52 (a), the name, type, hold, total (g 1 0 b a 1) and function of the input variable will be set. These settings are performed on the dialog window shown in Figure 5 2 (b). And functions are selected from several options prepared. The so-called name is the name of the variable, which is set to W 1 π for a certain switch. The so-called type is a type that represents variables and can be set according to various functional elements. For example, for the function elements of the ON and OFF actions of switches and lights, set their types to " bit π, and for the function elements of counting actions of counters and counters for numerical values, set them to η is an integer π. In addition, for a display element similar to a stopwatch measurement value, its type is set to π real number π. As functions, the front switches, lights, timers, and counters are prepared. The so-called hold is the setting of whether the above data is held when the power is off. If set to hold, verification will be performed in the verification box (c h e c k b ο X). The overall (g 1 o b a 1) is an editor that has registered the functional attributes

Page 80 541447 V. Description of the invention (77) (such as the step editor 33a) and application software (such as the day and night editor 33b), whether to share the registered variable settings. If it is shared, it is also necessary to go to the verification box (c h e c k b ο X) for verification. If the total (g 丨 〇 b a 1) is not set, the variables cannot be imported into other application software. In addition, the maintenance and the total (g 1 0 b a 1) described above are set according to their needs. In addition, when the variable management unit 3 2h defines the functional attributes from the step instructions and components as a definition, it only sets the functional attributes when the operating variables are input. In this case, registration based on the function attribute performed by the user is not necessary. The above-mentioned variable management section 3 2 h displays the variables registered in the data file 33 in the form of a catalogue for each function on a step window 3 2 a 1 and a daytime creation window 3 2 b 1 described later. Specifically, as shown in Figure 5-3, what are the application settings for each function? ? Shape to form a variable directory. For this variable directory, for example, the variable of the switch contains several types of compliant switches such as n S W 1M, " S W 2 " ..... n SWnn. As the variable list, other than the above-mentioned variable list, a non-limiting function may be displayed as a list. In such a variable catalog, functional attribute data (function, type of variable, etc.) that combines the graspable functional attributes and variables will be displayed. In other words, as long as the variable list is composed by selecting the necessary variables, it can use any type of order. However, as in the example above, it is more desirable to make it easier to choose the composition of the variables.

541447 V. Description of the invention (78) In addition, the variable management unit 3 2 h as a display means is a variable selected from the above variable list, for example, by using a mouse button operation, and dragged to the ladder window 32al and screen creation Enter the possible fields on window 32bl, and drag and drop them, and the step editor 3 2 a and day editor 3 2 b will be at the drag position in the step window 3 2 a 1 and the screen window 3 2 b 1 , Automatically generate (draw) ladder marks and icons. In addition, the above-mentioned variable management unit 3 2 h may be a function of one of the step editor 3 2 a or the day and day editor 3 2 b, or may be common to the two editors 3 2 a and 3 2 b. A function is included in each editor. For the data file 3 3, for example, the user shown in Figure 5 Φ The program is stored in the ladder file 3 3 a, as shown in Figure 5 5 The picture is stored in the daytime file 33b. The step file 3 3 a is composed of a command file section 3 3 a 1 and a variable data file section 3 3 a 2. The command file section 3 3 a 1 stores the step instructions and calculation values corresponding to the input ladder symbols. The variable data file section 33 a 2 corresponds to the command file section 3 3 a 1 to perform the above-mentioned step instructions on the device variables and addresses. Save. The variable data file section 3 3 a 2 stores the function attributes registered with the variable management section 3 2 h together with the variables. The daytime file 33b is composed of a graphic data file section 33bl and a variable data file section 3 3b2. The graphic data file department 33bl stores data of various graphics (circles, lines, quadrangles, etc.), characters (character columns), and components. The variable data file section 33b2 is to correspond to the graphic data file section 3 3 b 1, and the device's variables and addresses will be stored for the entered icons.

Page 82 541447 V. Description of the Invention (79). Further, the variable data file unit 33b2 stores the data on the functional attributes registered by the variable management unit 32h together with the variables. For the data file 33, when the separately formed step file 33a and screen file 33b are used, the variable management section 32h registers the variables registered in the variable data file section 3 3 a 2 or 3 3 b 2 in advance and the same The data related to the functional attributes are imported into another aspect as described later. The step file 3 3a and the day-surface file 3 3 b are related to each other through the variables and the functional attributes established by the variables 3 3 a 2, 3 3 b 2 stored in the variable data file section, so the first to third The display actions and control actions in the display / control system are interrelated. Alternatively, the data file 3 3 is as shown in FIG. 5 6, and its structure can also remove the aforementioned integrated type of the step file 3 3 a and the day surface file 3 3 b, and then the user program and the user day surface Save. The data file 33 is composed of a command file section 3 3h, a graphic data file section 3 3 i and a variable data file section 3 3 j. When the data file 33 is used, the variable data (including the variable and data related to the function attribute and the address) between the ladder file 33a and the screen file 33b by the variable management unit 3 2h will be related to the user program and The user screen is common and saved. Because 5 is the same as that in the case of using the aforementioned step file 3 3a and picture file 33b, the necessity of changing variables between the two files 33a and 33b will be lost. The second display / control system shown in FIG. 5 is the same as the first display / control system described above, and although the programmable display 1 and the programmable controller 2 are included, the structure of the programmable display 1 here is more Programmable

Page 83 541447 V. Description of the invention (80) The function of the controller, the programmable display 1 is equipped with an I / O device 20 and input / output (in addition to the static random access memory (SRAM) 12c in the memory section 12) I / 0) Control interface 2 1. The third display / control system shown in FIG. 5 is composed of a computer device 3 as an open control system. The computer device 3 includes an input / output device 39 and an input instead of the interface portion 38. / Output (I / 0) control interface 40, and an interface device 4 1 connected to the open computer network 8 is provided. Here, the user programs in the first to third display / control systems and the user's day-to-day production procedures will be described in more detail. When creating a user program, it follows the procedure shown in the flowchart in Fig. 28. At this point, in the computer device 3, the step editor 3 2 a must be started, and on the display part 3 5 a of the display 35 (refer to FIG. 6 1 (a)), the opened step window is displayed. 3 2 a 1. First, on the step window 3 2 a 1, the input and input devices 4 are used as objects, and the function attributes corresponding to the step instructions are registered together (S 1 2 1). At this time, the address of the strain number is allocated to the corresponding variable. When the registration of the variables of the used ladder instruction is completed (S 1 2 2), it is judged whether the ladder instruction is input from the variable list (S123). When a ladder instruction is to be input from the variable list, the variable list is displayed (S124). Next, after selecting the desired variable from the variable list, drag it to the ladder window 3 2 a 1 and drag and drop it (S 1 2 5). Then, the step instruction corresponding to the selected variable is automatically input (S126), and the step symbol representing the step instruction is displayed in the step window 3 2 a 1. Next, it is judged whether or not the input of the step instruction is completed (S1 2 7).

Page 84 541447 V. Description of the invention (81) The process will return to S 1 2 3, on the other hand, if it is finished, the user program will be registered in the data file 3 3 (S 1 2 8). On the other hand, when step instructions are not input from the variable list in step S123, that is, when a step instruction to be input is not registered in the variable list, the ordinary method of the step editor 3 2 a is used to input the step instructions. (S1 29). Next, a variable (S 1 3 0) corresponding to the step instruction is input. At this time, except for the input, the same variable and function attribute registration operation as in step S121 is performed, and the address of the strain number is allocated to the corresponding variable. After that, the process moves to step S 1 2 7. Moreover, in the above example, a method has been described in which a variable is automatically input after a variable is registered in advance and then according to the registered variable. However, the registration of variables is not limited to this method, and the registration of variables can also be performed while entering a ladder instruction. In this case, the processing operations are performed in the order of S 1 2 9, S 1 2 1, S 1 2 2, S 1 2 7 and S 1 2 8. When using the screen editor 3 2B to simultaneously register the variables and functional attributes with the user's day-to-day creation, the variable list obtained by the registration is used. Specifically, the process of deleting steps S121 and S i 2 2 is executed. When creating the user's daytime face, the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG. 60 is performed. Here, in the computer 3, it is also necessary to start the daytime editor 32b. On the display portion 35a of the display 35 (see FIG. 61 (a)), an open daytime creation window 3 2b is displayed. 1 . First ‘on the ladder window 3 2 a 1’, take each input / output device 4 as an object, and register the variables and function attributes corresponding to the illustration together (S131) ◦This _ 醒 圆 __ |, miscellaneous ___

Page 85 541447 5. In the description of the invention (82), the address of the strain number will be allocated to the corresponding variable. When the registration of the used variables of the graphic is completed (S 1 3 2), it is determined whether the graphic is input from the variable list (S1 33). To enter the icon from the variable list, the variable list is displayed (S134). Next, select the desired variable from the variable list and drag it to the screen creation window 3 2 b 1 and drag and drop it (S 1 3 5). Then, the icon corresponding to the selected variable will be automatically input (S 1 3 6), and the icon will be displayed in the screen creation window 32bl. Next, it is judged whether the input of the icon is finished (S 1 3 7). If it is not finished, the processing steps will be returned to S 1 3 3. On the other hand, if it is finished, the user will be created. Day and night are registered in the data file 33 (S 1 38). On the other hand, when the icon is not input from the variable directory in step S 1 3 3, that is, when the icon to be input is not registered in the variable directory, use the ordinary method of the screen editor 3 2b to Enter the icon (S 1 3 9). Next, enter the variable (S 1 4 0) corresponding to the figure. At this time, except for the input, the same variable and function attribute registration operation as in step S 1 31 is performed, and the address of the strain number is allocated to the corresponding variable. After that, the process is moved to step S 1 3 7. Moreover, in the above-mentioned example, the method of automatically inputting the icon according to the registered variable has been explained after registering the variable in advance. However, the registration of variables is not limited to this method, and the registration of variables can be performed while the # input icon is displayed. In this case, the processing operations are performed in the order of S 1 3 9, S] 3 1 > Si32, S 1 3 7 and S 1 3 8. In addition, using the ladder editor 3 2 a, the variables and functional attributes are as described above.

P.86 541447 V. When the registration of invention description (83) is performed at the same time as the creation of the user program, the variable directory obtained by the registration is used. Specifically, the process of deleting steps S131 and S] 3 2 is performed. Here, the procedures according to the flowcharts in FIG. 59 and FIG. 60 combined with the specific examples of the user program and the creation of the user's daytime surface will be described here, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), The step editor 3 2 a and the day surface editor 3 2 b have been started, and the step window 3 2 a 1 and the day surface creation window 3 2 b 1 have also been opened on the display portion 35 a of the display 35. In addition, variables and functional attributes related to the variables have already been registered. In this state, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the variable list is displayed on the display section 3a, which includes the variables of the switch. For example, drag the variable n S W 1 π and drag it to the desired position in the stepped window 3 2 a 1 and the day surface creation window. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6 1 (c), in the ladder window 3 2 a 1, the variable " SW1 π is dragged and dropped at the position where a ladder symbol L corresponding to the LD (download) command is displayed. In addition, the variable n SW 1 π will be displayed in the vicinity of the step mark L. On the other hand, in the daytime production window 3 2 b 1, the position where the variable n SW 1 π is dragged and dropped will be displayed. Illustration M of a switch that establishes the association of a variable. The variable nSW1 is also displayed on the icon M. Through the above-mentioned processing, the user selects a previously registered variable from the variable list. As long as dragging and dropping operations are performed, there are ladder marks and icons that are associated with the variable, and they will be separated in the ladder window 3 2 a 1 and daytime production window 3 2 b 1 are automatically generated. The step symbol L and the icon M can be combined.

P.87 541447 V. Description of the invention (84) Display variables can save the time of input. The above example is the case where the user program and the user screen are created at the same time. As described above, when entering the ladder mark or icon and performing the registration of variables and functional attributes, the registration and the user program may be used. The creation of this screen will be performed at the same time. Therefore, in this case, as mentioned above, using the variables and functional attributes registered at that time, it is possible to create a user's day or user program. As described above, each display / control system related to this embodiment mode is provided with a variable management unit that allows the variable to hold a function attribute for registration, and uses the registered variable, such as the aforementioned step ladder mark and The diagram can be generated automatically. · Because of this, either (1) the user program or one of the user's daytime surface is completed, then the other party's program is made, and (2) the user program and the user's daytime surface program are made at the same time, any one program Can be done efficiently. Moreover, even if it is the program of (2), it is not only to perform the registration of variables and functional attributes and the input of ladder instructions and illustrations. It is also possible to perform all the registration of variables and functional attributes beforehand. Enter the ladder mark and icon. In addition, even after login, the dialog window shown in Figure 5 2 (b) can be called, and the registration content can be easily changed. Therefore, it can correspond to various production types of the above-mentioned programs. In addition, because the variable has a functional attribute, the variable is displayed together with the φ step symbol and icon. In order to establish the characteristics of the displayed step symbol and icon, it is unnecessary to enter a comment and name. . In addition, it is easier to manage variables by function attributes.

A ladder instruction group that is associated with a variable is given to the ladder editor 3 2 a and displayed in a ladder window 3 2 a 1 described later (see FIG. 7 (a)). The association between the variable and the ladder instruction can be established by the user, or the editing department 32 can be provided as software for the user to preset. In addition, the above-mentioned step loop generation unit 3 2 i may be a function of one of the step editor 3 2 a or the day and day editor 3 2 b, or may be common to the two editors 3 2 a, 3 2 b. A feature is included in each editor. The data file 3 3 includes a step file 3 3 a and a screen production file 3 3 b. For the data item 3 3, for example, the user program is stored in the step file 3 3 a as shown in the foregoing FIG. 5 4, and the user screen is stored in the screen file 3 3 b as shown in FIG. 5 5 in. The step file 3 3a and the screen file 3 3b are related to each other by the variable data file sections 33a2 and 33b2. Therefore, the display actions and control actions in the first to third display / control systems are related to each other. The step file 3 3 a, especially for the data of the composite components stored in the day and night file 3 3 b, stores the data on the step circuit corresponding to one of the data (for example, it has the extension of n. W 1 1 π ) The child file has each composite component.

P.90 541447 V. Description of the invention (87) Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 3 (a), when the composite component is a counter, the data on the user screen of the counter DT], for example, π TE ST The sub-file F 1 of the file name w 1 1 π will be automatically generated in the step file 3 3 a due to the step loop generation unit 3 2 1. The second display / control system shown in FIG. 6 is the same as the first display / control system described above. Although the programmable display 1 and the programmable controller 2 are included, the structure of the programmable display 1 is more detailed here. It has the function of a programmable controller. In addition to the static random access memory (SRA M) 1 2 c in the memory section 12, the programmable display 1 has an input / output device 2 0 and an input / output (I / 0). ) Control interface 2 1.

An input / output (I / 0) control interface 40 and an interface. Device 4 1. Here, in the first to third display / control systems, corresponding to the ladder circuit of the composite element when the user's day surface and the user program are created, the processing procedure automatically generated will be referred to the flowchart of FIG. Be explained. When creating a user program while creating a user's day and day, in this computer device 3, the step editor 3 2 a and the day and night editor 3 2 b have been started, and the display portion 35 a of the display 35 (see FIG. )) The mid-day surface making window 3 2 b 1 and step window 3 2 a 1 have been opened at the same time. First, on the daytime production window 3 2b 1, the catalog of the composite component is displayed (S 1 4 1) by the user's operation, and it is determined whether the composite component selected by the user is arranged in the catalog. In the field of screen making window 3 2b 1 (S 1 4 2). If the composite component is configured, judge

P.91 541447 V. Description of the invention (88) Whether the setting of the address by variable is completed for each function of the composite element (S143). If the setting has been completed, the variable is registered in the ladder directory (S 1 4 4). Next, the ladder instruction group associated with the registered variable will be generated in the ladder directory, so it will correspond to the ladder circuit of the ladder instruction. It is arranged on the stepped window 3 2 a 1 and determines its position (S 1 4 5). Then, it is judged whether the corresponding subroutine established for the ladder circuit is input (S 1 4 6). If the subroutine is not input, the above ladder instruction group and variables in the ladder window 3 2 a 1 are expanded into the ladder loop (S 1 4 7). Then, it is judged whether the processing is to be ended (S 1 4 8). Here, if it is not finished, its processing will be returned to the step of S 1 4 1; on the other hand, if it is to be ended, the ladder circuit generated by ® will be saved as a sub file in the ladder file 3 3 a (S 1 4 9) ° Here, a specific example of stepped loop generation using the program of the flowchart in FIG. 6 is described. First, as shown in FIG. 67 (a), a stepped window 3 2 a 1 and a daytime window 3 2 b 1 are opened on the display portion 3 5 a. In this state, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the library of the composite component is displayed on the daytime production window 3 2 b 1 by the screen editor 32b. Next, as shown in FIG. 6 (c), from the library, for example, the composite element P1 of the composite switch is selected and arranged in the screen creation window 3 2b1, as long as the above-mentioned steps of S1 4 5 At the end of the process_, through the sequential processing of S 1 4 4 to S 1 4 7 described above, in the step window 3 2 a 1, a step loop corresponding to the composite switch will be generated. The composite element P 1 is a target system arranged in the input / output machine 4 by the control.

Page 92 541447 V. Description of the invention (89) The automatic operation switch S1, the switch S2 that controls the manual operation of the target system, the switch S3 that stops the automatic operation or the manual operation and the point when the automatic operation or the manual operation is performed Consists of a bright lamp L1. Above the switches S1, S2, and S3, π autoπ, M manual M, and π stop π are displayed as variables. The composite switch is configured so that only the switch S 1 or the switch S 2 is turned on (ON), the lamp L1 will be turned on, and only the switch S 3 is turned on (ON), the lamp L1 will be reduced. Such functional attributes are also stored in advance as data of the composite component P 1 in the graphic data file 3 3 b 1. When a stepped loop is generated from such a composite element P1, the above-mentioned variables and the variable when the lamp L1 is lit π automatic lamp output " and πmanual lamp output π " 8 is registered in the ladder list LL1. The variables π automatic π, π manual π, and "stop π" establish a relationship with the switch in advance, and the variable π automatic lamp output " and " manual lamp output π establishes a relationship with the lamp in advance. These variables realize composite components The function of P 1 is registered in the ladder list LL one by one. In addition, the addresses (X 0 0 1 0, X 0 0 1 1 etc.) allocated to each variable are also registered in the ladder list LL 1 And, according to the function (switch, lamp, etc.) that establishes a relationship with each variable and the function of the overall component P1, the ladder instructions (LD, ANDN, etc.) corresponding to each variable will be automatically registered in the ladder directory LL 1. This result The instruction can be obtained by the combination of the ladder instruction and the address. The ladder editor 3 2 a draws the ladder circuit corresponding to the composite component P 1 in the ladder window 3 2 a 1 according to the ladder directory LL 1. The ladder circuit is Formed as a subroutine, the starting aspect of the subroutine (SUBSTART compound

P.93 541447 V. Description of the Invention (90) Switch) is composed of an automatic operation part and a manual operation part for the end of a subroutine (S U B E N D composite switch). Even if any ladder circuit, as long as the entire set of conditions of LD and ANDN (se t) is satisfied, the lamp will be turned on (ON), even if the switch of LD is turned off (OFF), the lamp is still pushed on, using or (0 R) A self-sustaining loop is formed. In addition, after the stop (ANDN) is turned on (0 N), if the clear (R e s e t) condition is satisfied, the lamp will be turned off (OFF). As shown in FIG. 6 (a), when the composite element P2 of the counter is arranged in the screen creation window 32b, a step loop will be generated as shown in FIG. 6 (b). The above-mentioned composite element P2 is a numerical display N 1 for displaying a set value, a numerical display N for displaying a count value 2, a lamp L 2 which is turned on at the time of counting and a switch S 4 with a lamp for re-counting. Made up. This counter, when the count value (C N T. C V) successively displayed on the numerical display N 2 reaches the set value (C N T · P V) set on the numerical display N 1, it counts up and lights its lamp L 2. In addition, when this switch S4 with a lamp is turned on (ON), the counter value is cleared, and the switch S 4 with a lamp is lit. In addition, for this composite element P 2, a variable 1 ¾ 'is a variable for setting a set value n S Ε Τ π' a variable for re-entering " RESET "and a variable n for outputting to a timer n CNT. UPn When a stepped loop is generated from such a composite element P2, the above-mentioned variables will be used to move the newly lost variable " CNT. Rn and the variable nCNT.EQn to check the counting time (the consistency check of the set value and the count value), The step loop generation unit 3 2 i is registered in the step directory LL 2 as shown in FIG. 70. The variable " SETn will establish a relationship with the counter in advance, and the variable n RESETn will correspond with the counter in advance.

Page 94 541447 V. Description of the invention (91) The switch establishes a relationship, n CNT. Rn and " CNT. UP " establish a relationship with the lamp in advance. These variables realize the function of the composite element P2, and are sequentially registered in the ladder list L L2. At the same time, addresses (X0100, X0101, etc.) arranged in each variable are also registered in the ladder directory L L2. In addition, according to the functions (switches, lights, etc.) that are related to each variable and the functions of the composite element P 2 as a whole, the ladder instructions (CTU, LD, etc.) corresponding to each variable are automatically registered in the ladder directory L L 2. As a result, the instruction can be obtained by the combination of the ladder instruction and the address. The ladder editor 3 2a draws a ladder circuit corresponding to the composite element P 2 in the ladder window 3 2 a 1 according to the ladder catalog LL2. This ladder loop is formed as a subprogram. The start section of the subprogram (SUB START counter), the middle clear section (RESET) section, and the subprogram end section (SUBEND counter) of the counting section. of. S U B E N D counter, according to the comparison instruction, if the set value and the count value are consistent, the Q output is turned on, and the output at the counting time is also turned on. The counting input C E of the above-mentioned counting section is usually arranged at the a contact for supplying a counting clock. The ladder circuit corresponding to the above-mentioned composite switch and counter, as shown in Figure 71 (a) and Figure 71 (b), each composite component is stored in a sub-file, so it is a separate block from the sub-program or the main program Formed. When a step loop is formed as a subroutine, as shown in Fig. 68 and Fig. 70, the return (R E T) instruction must be described last. In addition, to jump to such a ladder circuit, the name of the subroutine as shown in Fig. 7 1 (a) and Fig. 7 1 (b)

Page 95 541447 V. Description of the invention (92) The loop unconditional skip instruction (CALL instruction) of the compound switch π and π counter π is programmed into the main program. When the above-mentioned step loop is not formed as a subroutine, although it is not shown in the figure, an instruction (JMP instruction) that jumps unconditionally to a designated step is incorporated in the main program. As described above, the first to third display / control systems related to this embodiment mode are provided with a step loop section 3 2 i, as shown in FIG. 6, as long as the composite element is arranged in the day On the surface manufacturing window 3 2 b 1, the stepped circuit corresponding to the composite component will be automatically produced on the stepped window 3 2 a 1. Therefore, in order to create a ladder circuit composed of a plurality of ladder instructions corresponding to a composite component, the input operation required by the user in the past has essentially become unnecessary. Therefore, the production efficiency of a user program including such a ladder circuit can be greatly improved. In addition, a stepped circuit can be generated by the arrangement of the composite element. Therefore, a visually easy-to-understand operating environment is provided, and the operability is relatively improved. Because the stepped circuit corresponding to the composite element adopts the files stored in the individual sub-files, The structure is different from the old editor which manages a user program for actual time control (implementation control) with a single file. In addition to the decentralized processing, the file management in the control division can be easier. Moreover, since such a file structure is adopted, the correlation between the composite element and the ladder circuit can be easily established, and therefore, the affinity between the ladder editor 3 2 a and the day and day editor 3 2 b can be improved. In addition, by generating the ladder circuit as a subroutine, it is possible to produce the ladder circuit of the main program and the ladder circuit of the composite component independently. Therefore, in addition to increasing the freedom of programming, corresponding composite components

P.96 541447 V. The detailed design of the stepped loop of the description of the invention (93) can be greatly reduced. In addition, this embodiment mainly describes a specific example of automatically generating a ladder circuit by arranging a composite element in the screen production window 3 2 b 1. However, it is also possible to arrange a single component in the screen making window 3 2 b 1 to generate a step mark corresponding to the component. In this case, the generated ladder symbol is different from the above ladder circuit and is not stored in the attached file, but in the file registered in the main program. [Embodiment Mode 6] A sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 5, 4, 5, 5, and 72 to 83, and the contents are as follows.

Display 3 5. Input device 3 6. External memory device 37 and interface section 38. The editing section 32 includes a step editor 3 2 a, a screen editor 3 2 b, and a step analysis section 3 2 j. The ladder editor 3 2 a can normally be made by one program-controlled ladder program continuously, but it can also be constructed by using a day-time unit of the user to provide a page mode for creating a ladder program. When using this page mode to make a ladder program, one page of the ladder program is saved in a separate file after each creation. Because of this, the step editor 3 2 a will be prepared in order to save the ladder program for each page

P.97 541447 V. User interface of the description (94) (for example, dialog window). The step analysis unit 3 2 j as the extraction means is a step command included in a step program created by a user operation using the step editor 3 2 a, and is analyzed one by one, and is established with each step command. The corresponding components of the screen editor 3 2 b are extracted and summarized for one step program, and are registered in a component file 3 3 e (refer to FIG. 8) described later using a user's day-to-day unit. The components corresponding to the ladder instruction are almost determined, and the ladder analysis unit 3 2 j holds such correspondence as data. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the LD instruction and the AND instruction for the ladder instruction representing the a contact are established in correspondence with components such as switches, sensors (open / closed type), and the representative b contact. The LDN instruction and ANDN instruction of the ladder instruction also establish corresponding relationships with components such as switches and sensors. In addition, for the OUT instruction representing the step instruction of the coil output, the corresponding relationship is established with the elements such as the lamp and the LED. The ladder instruction analysis performed by the ladder analysis unit 3 2 j is performed using the keyword detection unit 3 2 j 1 and the component extraction unit 3 2 j 2 provided in the ladder analysis unit 3 2 j as shown in FIG. 8 0. . The keyword detection unit 3 2 j 1 detects keywords related to the ladder instruction from the input bus to the output bus in the ladder diagram, and sequentially detects the keywords from the ladder program according to the sequence of steps. On the other hand, the component extraction unit 3 2 j 2 extracts components corresponding to the detected keywords from the basic component database 3 2b2. In addition, in order to associate the extracted components with the basic day planes, the component extraction unit 32 j2 uses the aforementioned processing instructions W including information on events performed in each basic day plane as labels, Write the label on the extracted component. The basic elements mentioned above

Description of the invention (95) Library 3 2 b 2 is a database for storing image data of basic components such as switches, lamps, and counters, and is set in the screen editor 32b. As the keyword setting method, there are, for example, a method shown in FIG. 7 (a), where a ladder instruction is directly used as a keyword, and a keyword shown in FIG. 7 (b), where the keyword is attached to a variable arranged in the ladder instruction. The best way. The method in Fig. 74 (a) is to arrange the LD instruction, the AND instruction, and the OUT instruction on the variables n START ", n SW1 π, and "LAMP1 π" respectively, and set each instruction as a keyword. According to this method It is not necessary to set additional keywords. On the other hand, the method of Fig. 74 (b) is to attach the keyword n SWn with a switch meaning to the above variables n STAR τπ and n SW 1π, and each will become " SW: START "and" SW: SW1 " are attached to the keyword "lamp " which has a lamp meaning to n LAMP 1 π, so it will become n LAMP: LAMP 1π. According to this method, keywords can be given functional properties as components. However, the ladder analysis unit 3 2 j is link information that associates ladder instructions and elements of switch-like bit data with associated information, and additional information such as annotations given by the user to each ladder instruction, and components. It is extracted and registered in the component file 3 3 e.

As for the data file 3 3, for example, the user program is stored in the step file 3 3 a as shown in the aforementioned FIG. 5 4, and the user ’s day is stored in the screen file 3 3 b as shown in FIG. 5. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 7 5 (a), the component file 3 3 e stores the component data extracted by the aforementioned step analysis unit 3 2 j on the user's day surface (one day surface unit). Thus, a component library is formed. The component file 3 3e stores the above-mentioned link information, accompanying information, and variable information as related information (attribute information) in each piece of data of each component. The second display / control system shown in FIG. 7 is the same as the first display / control system described above. Although the programmable display 1 and the programmable controller 2 are included, the programmable display 1 here is provided with a programmable display 1. The function of the program controller, in addition to the static random access memory (SRAM12) (:) in the memory section 12, is equipped with an input / output device 20 and an input / output (I / 0) control interface 21. Figure 7 The computer device 3 of the third display / control system shown has the function of an open controller, and is provided with an input / output device 3 instead of the aforementioned interface section 38. 9. Input / output (I / 0) control interface 4 0 And interface device 41. Here, in the first to third display / control systems, the processing procedure from the creation of the step program to the creation of the user's daytime surface will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 78.

Page 100 541447 V. Description of the invention (97) The ladder window 3 2 a 1 has been opened. When creating a user screen, the screen editor 3 2 b is started, and the screen creation window 3 2 b 1 is also opened. First, on the step window 3 2 a 1, a step program is created by the user's operation (S 1 5 1). The ladder program is registered in the ladder file 3 3 a after it is created. Next, the ladder analysis unit 3 2] is used to sequentially analyze the ladder instructions in the ladder program while referring to the ladder file 3 3 a-to create a component database corresponding to the ladder instructions (S 1 5 2). In addition, the screen editor 3 2 b uses the component database to create the user's day surface (S 1 5 3), and registers the created user's day surface to the day surface file 3 3 b (S 1 5 4 ), Processing will end. Continuing, a procedure of a specific example of the component library creation process described above will be described with reference to a flowchart of FIG. 79 and an organization chart of FIG. 80. First, from the several ladder programs stored in the ladder file 3 3 a, the file of the ladder program A that should be made into a component database is opened (S 1 6 1). It is determined whether it is possible to perform a keyword detection operation on the file in the keyword detection section 3 2 j (S 1 6 2). If possible, a keyword checkout job is performed (S 1 6 3). If there is no reason for setting keywords in the ladder program and it is not possible to perform a keyword detection operation, the process is shifted to step S 1 6 8. Next, the component extraction unit 3 2 j is used to enter the basic component database 3 2 b (S 1 6 4) 'The component corresponding to the step instruction' is retrieved from the basic component database 3 2 b 2 according to the detected keywords. And extract the tag into the extracted component (S 1 6 5). The components extracted in this way are registered in the ladder file 3 3 a, and a component database (S 1 6) that is distinguished on each day and day is created by a label.

P.101 541447 V. Description of the Invention (98) Next, in addition to creating related information, it is registered in the component file 3 3e (S 1 6 7). In addition, it is determined whether or not the processing for the next files S 1 61 to S 1 6 7 is performed (S) 6 8). The processing of S 1 61 to S 1 6 7 for the next file will be completed if it is not performed. When using this component database to create user screens, the editing body 3 2 b 3 of the screen editor 3 2 b refers to the component database while arranging components corresponding to the step instructions on the basic day surface. Store the created user day and day files in the day and night file 3 3 b. Here, the specific examples described above will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 8 1 (a), a step program is made on a step window 3 2 a 1. The ladder program includes step 1 assigned to the switch (SW1) and the lamp (LAMP1), step 2 assigned to the switch (SW2) and the counter (COUNTER), assigned to the push-button switch (PB1) and LED ( Step 3 of LED1) and Step 4 of assigning to the push-button switch (PB2) and LED (LED2). In this state, as a result of the processing of steps S161 to S168 described above by the step analysis section 32j, a component database containing step programs of steps 1 to 4 will be created. Next, if the user's daytime surface is created by the daytime surface editor 3 2 b, the above-mentioned component database is referred to. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 81, a pull-down option M is displayed on the screen creation window 3 2 b 1. For example, when n SW π representing a switch is selected from the pull-down option M, as shown in FIG. 8 1 (c), a component P including respective switches " SW1 " and " SW2 " 3.

Description of the invention (99) When the component P 3 of SW1 is selected from the dialog window D, as shown in Fig. 8 1 (d), the component P 3 will be arranged in the screen window 3 2 b On 1, when the component P 4 of SW 2 is selected, the component P 4 is also configured. When such an operation is performed on M LAMP π and " COUNTER " selected from the pull-down option M, as shown in Fig. 8 1 (e), each component corresponding to n LA MP π and π COUNTER "is P3, P4 will be placed on the daytime production window 3 2 b 1. This result will end the daytime component arrangement for the step program of step 1 or 2. Although not shown in the figure, for step 3 and In the 4 step program, the components of one screen are similarly arranged. As shown in Fig. 81 (e), nSWln, nSW2n, nLAMPn & n are displayed near the step mark together with the components P3 to P6. COUNTER11 is captured into the component database as the aforementioned incidental information, and when components P 3 to P 6 are arranged, it is used as a nameplate and components P 3 to P 6 in accordance with the situation of each user in the day and time — and displayed The additional information can also have a variable function. Therefore, the number of information input in the step editor 3 2 a can be deleted. As described above, the first to third related to this embodiment type Display / control system with step resolution 3 2 j, the component database corresponding to a ladder program can be fully made in advance. Because of this, the user can create a user screen based on the component database by arranging components on the screen creation window 3 2 b 1 In this way, when the user's day surface is created using the component database created by the step analysis unit 3 2 j, the processing operation can be efficiently performed. In addition, the components corresponding to the step instruction are used in the user's day surface. Production, so it does not happen although it corresponds to the ladder instruction

P.103 541447 V. Description of the invention (100) Components, but not the case. In addition, because of the screen copy, it is used to enhance the user ’s drawing on the day and the ladder. The ladder instruction report is also from the ladder. Only the associated time can be saved. Then, run the component database flowchart to start with. The step-by-step unit division system in Figure 80 for the production of the day face of the adult is turned on. Determine the keyword (S 1 7 2 industry (S173). Then, borrow (S174), and the unsuitable component database reflected on the daytime surface of the completed user will be made into each of the daytime surface of the user The user can operate without realizing that a part of the step program is equivalent to a daytime face. Therefore, the production efficiency of the face can be obtained. The analysis section 3 2 j does not provide the daytime information only through the production information of the component database. Only the face editor 3 2 b is extracted from the related information program and provided to the day face editor 3 2 b. For example, the labor re-entered by the day face editor 3 2 b and the 〇 created a ladder program using the previous page mode. At this time, for the production procedure, refer to the organization chart in Fig. 80 and the description in Fig. 8 2. Stored in several ladder programs in the ladder file 3 3a, each page of the ladder program in the database is equivalent to use Open the file in the daytime mode (S 1 7 1). At this time, instead of program A, for example, the part of the ladder program (page program) made by one page shown in Figure 8 3 (a) will be the file whether it is possible With the key Detecting detection portion 3 2 j). If possible, perform a keyword checkout if this is not possible, and move the process to step S 1 7 8. The component extraction unit 3 2 j enters the basic component database 3 2 b. The components corresponding to the ladder instruction will be based on the detected keys.

Page 104 541447 V. Description of the invention (1 0 1) The words are extracted from the basic component database 3 2 b 2 (S 1 7 5). The components extracted in this way are registered in the ladder file 3 3 a and a component database is created (S1 76). Next, in addition to creating related information, it is registered in the component file 3 3 e (S 1 7 7). In addition, it is determined whether or not the processing for the next pages S 1 7 1 to S 1 7 7 is performed (S 1 7 8). The processing of S 1 7 1 to S 1 7 for the next file will be completed if the component database is not processed. According to the ladder program created by using the page mode, the component database created as shown in Figure 7 5 (b) is composed of screen data on each day independently. When the user's day surface is created using this component database, the editing body 32b3 of the day surface editor 32b will refer to the component database while arranging components corresponding to the step instructions on the basic day surface. Next, the user's day screen (Screens 1 and 2 shown in Fig. 83 (a) and Fig. 83 (b)) corresponding to each page of the ladder program is stored in the day screen file 33b. When creating a ladder program using such a page mode, it is also possible to automate the process from the analysis of the ladder instruction by the ladder analysis unit 3 2 j to the arrangement of the components by the day editor 32.
