PROGRAMMABLE DISPLAY, DISPLAY CONTROL PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM WITH THE PROGRAM RECORDED THEREON

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable data for display on device monitors to be transferred between a plurality of devices connected to one programmable display. SOLUTION: A device monitor part 212 of the programmable display 2 causes a display 24 to display the states (data) of the internal devices (memories) of PLCs 3, 4 serving as devices connected to the programmable display 2. A data transfer part 212b reads data on the address of the designated internal device of a designated device (e.g., PLC 3) and transfers the data to another designated device (e.g., PLC 4) to write the data in the designated internal device. If the devices have different communication protocols, a protocol conversion part 212a converts the communication protocol of the transferring device into the communication protocol of the destination device during the data transfer. The data transfer may be carried out between devices and a storage medium such as a memory card 7. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
