BATCH CONTROLLER

PURPOSE:To facilitate the design of a sequence frame by combining a previous description system which shows easily the executing orders and the combination of sequences with a sequence frame prototype. CONSTITUTION:A batch controller works at the side of a field control station FCS based on the information which is produced from a sequence frame prototype 8 received in a form suited to each unit device 2 and given from a prescription data buffer function formed for each device 2, the information given from an executing order definition list function formed for each unit 2, and the information given from an address list function formed for each device 2. At the side of an operator's station OPS, a general control function monitors the primary items of the sequence frame and controls a batch face plate used for intervention. At the same time, the control function down-loads the data to a prescription data buffer function 19 and an executing order definition list function 10 which are set at the FCS side.
