  • the user selects a set component from the set component list display screen 43 using the input device 15 (for example, “mouse”).
  • “unit part b” and display object 46 of “unit part b” constituting the selected “device B set” are arranged on the configuration diagram editing screen 41 according to the arrangement order ( In this example, “from left to right”) are displayed.
  • a display object 49 that inquires the user of the number of continuous arrangements of the “device A set” on the base unit 45 is displayed on the configuration diagram editing screen 41.
  • the “unit A” is set to “unit” which is the first unit part.
  • the number of consecutive empty slot portions from the slot portion with the number “2” on which the display object 46a of the part “b” is superimposed is input up to the slot portion with the end number “11”. It is determined whether or not “4” corresponding to the continuous arrangement number “2” has been reached (that is, the number of empty slots is sufficient).
  • the slot portions to which the numbers “2” to “5” of the base unit 45 are attached are not specific slot portions, and “unit component b” and “unit component a” that constitute “device A set” are specified. It is not a unit part.
  • “unit part b” is a unit that has no restriction on the unit part that is already arranged in the slot part numbered “1” that is adjacent to “unit part b”. It is a part.
  • the “unit part a” is a unit part that has no restriction on the unit part arranged adjacent to the “unit part a”, and the slot part numbered “6” adjacent to the “unit part a”. There is no unit part.
  • the system construction support apparatus 10a and the system configuration diagram creation method of the second embodiment described above it is possible to obtain the operational effects according to the system construction support apparatus 10 of the first embodiment described above.
  • the same unit part or set part is configured as a system configuration. As many as the number of arrangements can be arranged in succession in the figure. Therefore, when it is necessary to arrange a plurality of the same unit parts or set parts, it is not necessary to repeat the selection operation of the unit parts or the set parts and the placement operation on these unit bases by the number of arrangements. The number of operations can be reduced, and the burden on the user for creating the system configuration diagram can be further reduced.
  • the support device 10a includes a plurality of batch arrangements of the same unit parts on the unit base by a user operation and a plurality of the same set parts on the unit base by a user operation.
  • the present invention is not limited to this configuration. It is good also as a structure in which at least any one is possible. Also by this, it is possible to reduce the number of user operations for at least one of the plurality of batch arrangements, and it is possible to further reduce the burden on the user for creating the system configuration diagram.
  • the configuration diagram editing control unit 35 is based on a plurality of unit parts constituting the selected set part.
  • the system is constructed by arranging in the slot portion of the unit, it is not limited to this.
  • the present invention can also be applied in the same way when a system capable of combining unit parts without requiring a base unit is constructed.
  • system construction support device and the system configuration diagram creation method provide a system construction support device and system configuration diagram creation that support the construction of a program controller (PLC) system that functions as a control device for an industrial machine. It is about the method.
  • PLC program controller

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'aide à la construction d'un système (10, 10a) comprenant : une unité de commande d'édition de composant 36 qui reçoit, en provenance d'un dispositif d'entrée 15, une entrée d'informations d'ensemble de composants enregistrées par un utilisateur qui enregistre des informations d'ensemble de composants 22 dans une unité de stockage d'informations d'ensemble de composants 31; et une unité de commande d'édition de schéma de configuration 35 qui reçoit, en provenance du dispositif d'entrée 15, une entrée d'un ensemble de composants sélectionné par l'utilisateur, et qui agence collectivement, dans un emplacement vide d'une unité de base 45, une pluralité de composants unitaires constituant l'ensemble de composants sélectionné.
