System and method for designation process information

A method for designating process control in a system for designation process information comprising:

• a process execution apparatus for executing a given process,
• a process control apparatus which executes a prescribed process control of said a process execution apparatus;
• and a process designation apparatus which designates the process control of said process control apparatus, said process designation apparatus possessing a designation information list for the process control, said process control apparatus possessing a control mode table including a control mode which defines the actuation of the process designation apparatus, an information reader which reads the designation information from said designation information list, and a process controller which acquires a prescribed control mode from said control mode table to perform the process control of said process execution apparatus, the method comprising the following steps:
• a) a step in which said control apparatus performs a prescribed process control at the presently acquired process control mode;
• b) a step in which the step a) is continued until said process execution apparatus completes said prescribed process;
• c) a step in which after the process execution has been completed, said process control apparatus makes a query for the designation information to said process designation apparatus;
• d) a step in which, upon receiving the query for the designation information, said process designation apparatus reads the designation information from the designation information table and represents said designation information utilizing a response signal to said process control apparatus,
• e) a step in which said process control apparatus judged whether or not the control mode is switched to the next mode;
• and
• f) a step in which if said process control apparatus judged to switch the control mode into the next control mode, said process control apparatus acquires a prescribed control mode from the control mode table and initiate said acquired control.
