Abstract
A method for graphical programming of industrial controllers, in particular motion controllers, that automatically generates suitable graphical elements and respective masks in motion control flowchart notation from user-defined structured text subprograms of a structured textual language.
Claims17
A method of programming industrial controllers, in particular, motion controllers, where the user links graphical elements, in particular, control structures and function blocks, by using a graphical editor to form a motion control flowchart that can be visualized on a display device, comprising that additional graphical elements which contain the function interface of the corresponding structured text subprograms and which are also made available to the user are automatically generated in motion control flowchart notation from user-defined structured text subprograms as structured textual language by means of a converter in the manner of a compiler.
