Description

Programming support method, program for programming support, and programming support system

The present disclosure relates to a programming support method, a program for programming support, and a programming support system. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a programming support method, a programming support program, and a programming support system that support program creation.

As a conventional example, the program execution control method described in Patent Document 1 will be exemplified. The conventional example described in Patent Document 1 is composed of variable name storage and reference means, variable name storage area, variable value address information storage and reference means, variable value address storage area, variable value storage and reference means, and variable value storage area. .

The variable name storage reference means searches for the specified variable name from among the multiple variable names stored in the variable name storage area. When the variable name storage and reference means finds the specified variable name from the variable name storage area, the address information storage and reference means refers to the address stored in the variable value address storage area to obtain the specified variable name. Get the corresponding address. The variable value storage reference means rewrites the contents of the variable value storage area pointed to by the acquired address to the variable value designated to be registered.

By the way, in some programs, users can create (declare) arbitrary variables. Also, variables created (declared) in one program can be used as variables in another program.

For example, in one program, variables created (declared) by the user are exported to a CSV (comma separated value) file, and the exported CSV file is attached to an e-mail, for example, and sent.

Then, the user who creates another program imports the CSV file attached to the e-mail into another program. In this way, variables created in one program can be used as variables in another program.

However, the above method requires complicated work when creating (programming) multiple programs by sharing some data (for example, variables).

However, the configurations described in the following embodiments are merely examples of the present disclosure. The present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments, and various modifications can be made according to design and the like as long as the effects of the present disclosure can be achieved.

(1) Overview Programs to be supported for programming in the embodiments are application programs for programmable controllers and application programs for related peripheral devices. However, the program that is the target of programming support in the embodiment may be a program used in a computer system other than the programmable controller and related peripheral devices.

A related peripheral device in the embodiment is, for example, a programmable display PD1 (see FIG. 1). The programmable display PD1 uses a touch panel display as an HMI (Human-Machine Interface) and is connected to the programmable controller PLC1 to monitor the operation of the equipment and give control instructions (see Japanese Industrial Standards JIS B 3551). The programmable controller PLC1 and the programmable display PD1 are communicably connected by a communication cable L4 conforming to serial communication standards such as RS232C or RS485.

An application program for the programmable controller is created (programmed) by, for example, executing dedicated programming software (first program) on a general-purpose personal computer (first computer PC1). The first program supports a plurality of program languages standardized by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard IEC61131-3 and the Japanese Industrial Standard JIS B 3503. The multiple programming languages supported by the first program include two text languages, Instruction List (IL) and Structured Text (ST). The multiple programming languages supported by the first program further include three graphic languages: Ladder Diagram (LD), Function Block Diagram (FBD) and Sequential Function Chart (SFC). contains. An application program created by the first program is downloaded from the first computer PC1 to the programmable controller PLC1 through the communication cable L2 (see FIG. 1).

An application program for a programmable display is created (programmed) by, for example, executing dedicated programming software (second program) on a general-purpose personal computer (second computer PC2). The first program and the second program each operate on an operating system such as Windows (registered trademark) manufactured by Microsoft Corporation. The application program created by the second program is downloaded from the second computer PC2 to the programmable display PD1 through the communication cable L3.

The first computer PC1 and the second computer PC2 have communication functions that comply with wired LAN standards (100BASE-TX, 10BASE-T, etc.). The first computer PC1 is connected to the second computer PC2 via a communication cable L1 made up of a UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable. Also, the first computer PC1 is connected to the programmable controller PLC1 via a communication cable L2 made of a UTP cable. The second computer PC2 is connected to the programmable display PD1 via a communication cable L3 made of UTP cable. However, the first computer PC1, the second computer PC2, the programmable controller PLC1, and the programmable display PD1 belong to one local area network, and perform data communication with each other via network equipment such as routers and switching hubs. may be connected so as to

At least the first computer PC1 and the second computer PC2 are directly connected via a communication cable L1 or connected via a network device, and one-to-one two-way communication is possible. (peer-to-peer communication) is possible.

The programming support method according to the embodiment has a first step, a second step, a third step, and a fourth step. The first step is to enable the first computer PC1 and the second computer PC2 to communicate in a peer-to-peer manner. The second step is to have (the first operator) select sharable data from among the data used in the first program executed on the first computer PC1. The third step is to send the sharable data selected in the second step to the second computer PC2. A fourth step captures the sharable data sent in the third step in a second program running on the second computer PC2. The first operator is a person who performs programming using the first program on the first computer PC1.

Thus, according to the programming support method according to the embodiment, when transferring sharable data from the first computer PC1 to the second computer PC2, the essential work performed by the first worker is It is only the task of selecting data that is appropriate. Therefore, in the programming support method according to the embodiment, the work required to transfer the sharable data is less than the case of exporting a file containing sharable data and sending the exported file as an attachment to e-mail or the like. can be simplified.

Also, the programming support program according to the embodiment is executed by each of the first computer PC1 and the second computer PC2.

The programming support program executed by the first computer PC1 causes the first computer PC1 to execute a first process, a second process, and a third process. The first process puts the first computer PC1 into a state in which it can communicate (with the second computer PC2) in a peer-to-peer manner. The second process causes (the first operator) to select sharable data from among the data used in the programming program (first program) executed by the first computer PC1. A third process transmits (to the second computer PC2) the sharable data selected in the second process via peer-to-peer communication.

On the other hand, the programming support program executed by the second computer PC2 causes the second computer PC2 to execute the fourth process and the fifth process. A fourth process enables the second computer PC2 to communicate (with the first computer PC1) in a peer-to-peer manner. A fifth process captures (into the second program) sharable data transmitted in a peer-to-peer manner in a program (second program) executed on the second computer PC2.

Thus, according to the programming support program according to the embodiment, when transferring sharable data from the first computer PC1 to the second computer PC2, the first operator at the first computer PC1 The only work required is the work of selecting sharable data. On the other hand, the second operator (person who uses the second program) does not need to perform any work in the second computer PC2. Therefore, the program for programming support according to the embodiment can simplify the work required to deliver sharable data at each of the sharable data sender and receiver.

Furthermore, the programming support system S1 according to the embodiment has a first computer PC1 that executes a first program for programming and a second computer PC2 that executes a second program for programming. The first computer PC1 and the second computer PC2 can communicate in a peer-to-peer manner. The first computer PC1 transmits data that can be shared between the first program and the second program to the second computer PC2. The second computer PC2 takes in the sharable data sent from the first computer PC1 in the second program.

However, according to the programming support system S1 according to the embodiment, the only task that the first operator must perform in the first computer PC1 is the task of selecting sharable data. The second operator at the second computer PC2 does not need to do any work. Therefore, the programming support system S1 according to the embodiment exports a file containing sharable data, attaches the exported file to e-mail or the like, and transmits it. Work can be simplified.

(2) Details of the Embodiment (2-1) Details of the Programming Support System According to the Embodiment A programming support system S1 (hereinafter abbreviated as support system S1) according to the embodiment includes a first computer PC1, a second and a computer PC2 (see FIG. 1).

The first computer PC1 is a so-called desktop personal computer. That is, the first computer PC1 includes a main body 10 housing a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a memory, a motherboard, a hard disk drive or solid state drive, a power supply, etc., a display device 11, a keyboard 12, and a mouse. 13 and. Similarly, the second computer PC2 includes a main body 20 housing a CPU, a memory, a motherboard, a hard disk drive or solid state drive, a power supply, etc., a display device 21, a keyboard 22, and a mouse 23. Prepare. The first computer PC1 and the second computer PC2 are equipped with Windows (registered trademark) made by Microsoft Corporation as an OS. However, the first computer PC1 and the second computer PC2 use an OS other than Windows (registered trademark), such as Mac OS (registered trademark) manufactured by Apple Inc., or Windows (registered trademark) such as Linux (registered trademark). ) may be used. At least one of the first computer PC1 and the second computer PC2 may be a notebook personal computer.

The first computer PC1 executes the first program. The first program is programming software for creating (programming) an application program that causes the programmable controller PLC1 to perform various controls.

The first program runs on the OS installed in the first computer PC1. Therefore, the first program can use various GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces) provided by the OS.

The first worker is the developer of the application program for the programmable controller. However, the number of application program developers may be plural. For example, one application program may be completed by combining programs created by a plurality of developers in appropriate programming languages for each function or process. In this case, each of the multiple developers can be the "first worker".

The second computer PC2 executes the second program. The second program is programming software for creating (programming) an application program for causing the programmable display device PD1 to display various screens and receive various inputs.

The second program runs on the OS installed in the second computer PC2. Therefore, the second program can use various GUIs provided by the OS, like the first program.

The second worker is a screen designer who designs application programs for programmable displays.

Data that can be shared between the first program and the second program is a global variable (GV). Global variables are assigned, for example, to the input and output addresses of the programmable controller PLC1. In the first program and the second program, if the input address and output address of the programmable controller PLC1 are programmed with fixed addresses, for example, if the programmable controller is changed, the input address and output address must be changed. not. On the other hand, when global variables are assigned to input addresses and output addresses, appropriate input addresses and output addresses are automatically assigned to the global variables in the application program for the programmable controller after the model change. That is, by sharing the global variables between the first program and the second program, it is possible to reduce the load required for creating (programming) each of the first program and the second program. However, data that can be shared between the first program and the second program are not limited to global variables.

(2-2) Details of Program for Supporting Programming According to Embodiment A program for programming support according to the embodiment (hereinafter referred to as a support program) is installed in each of the first computer PC1 and the second computer PC2. Installed. Support programs are resident programs (also called resident applications). In addition, the support program may be provided through an electric communication line. Alternatively, the support program may be provided by being recorded on a non-temporary recording medium such as a computer system-readable memory card, optical disc, or hard disk drive.

The menu list of the support program includes the "pairing" menu (process). When "pairing" is selected from the menu list, the support program displays a dialog box DB1 for pairing on the screen (screens of the display devices 11 and 21) (see FIG. 2).

A pairing dialog box DB1 has a first table T1, a second table T2, and a plurality of command buttons CB1 to CB4.

The first table T1 has a space indicating the current pairing status, a space indicating the name of the pairing partner computer, and a space indicating the IP address assigned to the pairing partner computer. Either "paired" or "paired (disconnected)" is displayed in the space indicating the pairing status.

The second table T2 has a space indicating the name of the partner (request source) computer requesting pairing, and a space indicating the IP address assigned to the request source computer.

Two command buttons CB1 and CB2 are arranged side by side under the first table T1. The left command button CB1 is a command button for starting the pairing process. The command button CB2 on the right side is a command button for executing a process of canceling pairing with a paired computer.

Two command buttons CB3 and CB4 are arranged side by side under the second table T2. The command button CB3 on the left side is a command button for executing processing for permitting pairing in response to a pairing request. The command button CB4 on the right side is a command button for executing a process of rejecting the pairing in response to the pairing request.

Next, the programming support method by the support program will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 are sequence diagrams for explaining the programming support method. Also, FIG. 5 is an example of the menu screen M1 of the first program.

　In Figures 3 and 4, the "first shared folder" is created in the hard disk drive or solid state drive of the first computer PC1. The "first shared folder" is a file folder that can be accessed (read and written) not only from the first computer PC1 but also from the second computer PC2. Similarly, a "second shared folder" is created on the hard disk drive or solid state drive of the second computer PC2. The "second shared folder" is a file folder that can be accessed (read and written) not only from the second computer PC2 but also from the first computer PC1.

First, the first operator who performs the programming work using the first program executes the support program and performs the pairing start operation (see [01] in Fig. 3). The support program then sends a pairing request transmission frame containing the computer name and IP address of the first computer PC1 to the IP address of the second computer PC2 (see [02] in FIG. 3).

The support program of the second computer PC2 receives the transmission frame of the pairing request. The support program displays the computer name and IP address included in the transmission frame in the second table T2 of the dialog box DB1 to confirm the possibility of pairing with the second worker (FIGS. 2 and 4). 3 [03]). The second operator presses the command button CB3 arranged below the second table T2 of the dialog box DB1 by operating the mouse 23 to give the pairing permission to the support program (see FIG. 3). [04]). The support program sends a transmission frame including a pairing permission message to the IP address of the first computer PC1 (see [05] in FIG. 3).

When the support program of the first computer PC1 receives the pairing permission transmission frame, it displays the character string "paired" in the space indicating the pairing state in the first table T1 of the dialog box DB1 ( See Figure 2). The first operator can confirm that the pairing between the first computer PC1 and the second computer PC2 is completed by looking at the character string ("paired" character string) ([ 06]).

A first worker creates an application program using the first program. A first worker may share a global variable (GV) declared in an application program with an application program created by a second worker. In this case, the first operator selects a shared global variable on the menu screen M1 of the first program (see [07] in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5). Specifically, the first worker places the mouse pointer on the display location of the variable name (for example, "GV1") of the global variable displayed on the menu screen M1, right-clicks the mouse 13, and selects the context menu CM1. is displayed (see FIG. 5). Furthermore, when the first worker places the mouse pointer on the item "Send To" in the context menu CM1, the information of the destination of the selected global variable is displayed. This destination information includes the computer name "PC2" of the second computer PC2 paired with the first computer PC1, and the name "PC2" of the application program being created in the second program that shares the global variables. Project A” (see Figure 5). Then, when the first operator operates (left-clicks) the mouse 13 to confirm the selection of the global variables and the transmission destination, the first program creates a file containing the selected global variables (for example, a CSV file). file) to the first shared folder (see [08] in Fig. 4).

The support program reads the file (hereinafter referred to as global variable file GV) written in the first shared folder (see [09] in FIG. 4), and stores the read global variable file GV in the paired Transfer to the second computer PC2 (see [10] in FIG. 4). In the second computer PC2, the global variable file GV transferred from the first computer PC1 is written in the second shared folder by the support program running on the second computer PC2 (see [11] in FIG. 4). . Furthermore, the support program causes the second worker to confirm addition of the global variable file GV through the second program (see [12] in FIG. 4). When the second worker permits the addition (see [13] in FIG. 4), the second program reads the global variable file GV from the second shared folder, and the global variables contained in the read global variable file GV are , is added to the application program created by the second program (see [14] in FIG. 4). The second program notifies the support program of the second computer PC2 that the global variables have been read (see [15] in FIG. 4). This allows the second program to share global variables with the first program. When the support program receives the global variable read completion notification from the second program, it notifies the support program of the first computer PC1 of the end of the transfer of the global variable file GV ([16 in FIG. 4]. ]reference).

The support program of the first computer PC1 transfers to the first program the notification of the end of transfer of the global variable file GV received from the support program of the second computer PC2 (see [17] in FIG. 4). When the first program receives the transfer end notification from the support program, it displays a message on the menu screen M1 to inform the first worker that the transfer of the global variables has been completed ([18] in FIG. 4). reference).

As described above, the programming support method by the support program is implemented.

Here, it is assumed that a file server (storage server) exists in the network to which the first computer PC1 and the second computer PC2 belong. At this time, it is conceivable to transfer the global variable file GV from the first computer PC1 to the second computer PC2 via the file server.

However, when transferring the global variable file GV via the file server, the first operator needs to perform multiple operations, including selecting the global variable file GV and writing it to the file server. Similarly, it is necessary for the second operator to perform multiple operations until the necessary global variable files GV are selected from the global variable files GV stored in the fan server and downloaded to the second computer PC2. In other words, with the method of transferring the global variable file GV via the file server, it is very difficult to simplify the work required to transfer the sharable data (global variable file GV).

On the other hand, according to the programming support method, support program, and programming support system S1 according to the embodiment, the first computer PC1 and the second computer PC2 directly exchange data in a peer-to-peer manner. Therefore, the programming support method, the support program, and the programming support system S1 according to the embodiment can simplify the work required to transfer the sharable data (global variable file GV). Moreover, since the first computer PC1 and the second computer PC2 exchange data directly in a peer-to-peer manner, there is an advantage that it is easy to maintain consistency of shared data (global variables).

By the way, in the embodiment, both the first program executed by the first computer PC1 and the second program executed by the second computer PC2 are programming software for creating an application program for the programmable controller. It doesn't matter if there is. Alternatively, both the first program executed by the first computer PC1 and the second program executed by the second computer PC2 are programming software for creating an application program for the programmable display. I do not care.

Further, in the programming support method, support program, and programming support system S1 according to the embodiment, sharable data is transferred from the first shared folder of the first computer PC1 to the second shared folder of the second computer PC2. do. Therefore, the programming support method, support program, and programming support system S1 according to the embodiment mistakenly overwrite non-sharable data with sharable data, compared to transferring sharable data between folders that are not shared. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of a problem such as being lost.
