Abstract

To provide a development support device capable of obtaining a total number of steps for predicting execution load and required time during program execution.SOLUTION: A development support device is configured to support the development of a program including function blocks. The development support device includes a step counter for counting an execution step number of a function block, the execution step number indicating the number of processes executed within the function block, a frequency counter for counting the number of times each function block is used in the program, and a calculation unit for calculating the product of the usage count and the execution step number of each function block and outputting the execution step number of the function blocks in the program.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
