Sequence control programming device, sequence control programming method and operating system

Abstract

An apparatus for generating a control program for sequence control. The sequence-control programming apparatus includes a storage section configured to store plural types of given ladders respectively describing plural types of commands separately from each other by ladder logic, the commands related to a specific operation to be executed by the operating system; a selection input section configured to receive a selection input for selecting a plurality of desired given ladders from the plural types of given ladders; and a program generating section configured to extract the plurality of desired given ladders from the storage section in accordance with the selection input, and combine the extracted desired given ladders to convert the extracted desired given ladders into a single system-compatible ladder configured to make the operating system execute the specific operation, so as to generate the control program.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a sequence control programming device and a sequence control programming method for generating a control program for sequence control. Furthermore, the present invention relates to an operating system provided with a sequence control programming device. Background technique [0002] A working system including robots and working equipment (eg, end effectors, processing machines, handling devices, etc.) that cooperate with each other can have various configurations. In general, it is also possible to redesign the structure of the already designed operating system according to changes in the types and numbers of robots and operating equipment. The design of the work system includes the act of creating a control program for sequential control of robots and work equipment. Generally, a control program for sequential control expresses various instructions and parameters in a special expression known as ladder logic, and knowledge a...

In addition, the control program is stored in the memory of various controllers such as the PLC (programmable logic controller) that controls the overall operation system and the robot controller that controls the robot. However, when the control program is rewritten, the rewritten new The control program of the control program is additionally stored in the memory, so a large-capacity memory may be required or it may affect the operation processing of various controllers
