CONTROLLER, CONTROLLER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND CONTROLLER MANAGEMENT METHOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a controller provided with a program converter for converting a program created in one program description and data format into a program in another program description and data format. SOLUTION: A programming device 100 creates management control information of the controller composed of programs created by an editor 110 and outputs the management control information to the program converter 200. An interpretation control part 210 of the program converter 200 investigates the validity of the received management control information and extracts target information. A converted data acquiring part 220 reads a conversion rule from a storage device 240 according to the extracted target information and transfers the conversion rule to a conversion executing part 230. The conversion executing part 230 converts the received management control information into a program on the basis of the conversion rule and transmits the program to the controller 300. The controller 300 receives the program, stores the program in a storage device 301 and controls a control target 400 according to the received program. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
