DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT DEVICE, DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM

The present invention provides an environment that makes it possible to incorporate a non-periodic-execution function module into a periodic-execution control program. A development support program that makes a computer execute steps that generate a periodic-execution second function module that invokes a non-periodic-execution first function module. Said steps include: a step in which a data type that is in a periodic-execution programming language and corresponds to the data type of an argument for the first function module is specified, and an input variable of said data type is established for the second function module; and a step in which a data type that is in a periodic-execution programming language and corresponds to the data type of a return value for the first function module is specified, and an output variable of said data type is established for the second function module.
