Abstract

The objective of this research is to establish a visual supporting method for developing sequence controller programs. Current sequence controller programming methods have such problems as user-unfriendly programming languages and low programmer productivity. Our supporting method will provide solutions to the problems that will lead to a more efficient way of writing a sequence controller program. The method lets a programmer combine software parts to define a target system. The software parts appear as icons on a monitor. Then, he develops a sequence controller program by setting conditions as well as actions to the software parts. Our method will be illustrated in detail with examples.
