A visual supporting method for sequence controller programming
Y. Shin, Akira Ohnishi A · 2002
Establishes a visual support method for developing sequence controller programs. Current sequence controller programming methods have problems such as user-unfriendly programming languages and low programmer productivity. Our support method provides solutions to these problems that lead to a more efficient way of writing a sequence controller program. The method lets a programmer combine software components to define a target system. The software components appear as icons on a monitor. The programmer then develops a sequence controller program by setting conditions as well as actions on the software components. Our method is illustrated in detail, with examples.
