SEQUENCE PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT SUPPORTING DEVICE FOR PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLER

PURPOSE:To reduce man-hours of a system development, to improve the work efficiency and to eliminate the user's effort in learning a sequence language by converting the program generated by a program development general purpose language to a programmable controller sequence language. CONSTITUTION:This device is provided with a sequence program development software la which supports a sequence program development, a general purpose program development supporting software 1e which supports the development of a program 1d that is described in a general purpose language and a conversion software 1f which converts the program 1d that is generated by the general purpose language into an intermediate code 1b. The program 1d is converted into an intermediate code 1b of the sequence program which is described in a sequence program language dedicated to a programmable controller 2. Thus, the program is conducted in accordance with the controller 2 without learning a dedicated language.
