Abstract
To provide a sequence-program-component creation program that causes a computer to perform a searching step of searching an overall circuit of a sequence program for a common logic part and extracting a logic pattern that appears in common in a circuit pattern arranged in the common logic part as a common circuit pattern, a component-candidate displaying step of displaying an extracted common circuit pattern as a candidate for a program component, a component registration setting step of registering a common circuit pattern selected by a user from candidates for the program component, and a replacing step of replacing the common logic part of the sequence program with the program component.
Claims8
A sequence-program-component creation program that causes a computer to perform:
- a searching step of searching an overall circuit of a sequence program for a common logic part and extracting a logic pattern that appears in common in a circuit pattern arranged in the common logic part as a common circuit pattern;
- a component-candidate displaying step of displaying an extracted common circuit pattern as a candidate for a program component;
- a component registration setting step of registering a common circuit pattern selected by a user from candidates for the program component;
- and
- a replacing step of replacing the common logic part of the sequence program with the program component, wherein
- at the searching, the common logic part is searched using a number of first circuit blocks specified by a user as a search unit.
(canceled)
A sequence-program-component creation device comprising:
- a searching section that searches an overall circuit of a sequence program for a common logic part and extracts a logic pattern that appears in common in a circuit pattern arranged in the common logic part as a common circuit pattern;
- a component-candidate display unit that displays an extracted common circuit pattern as a candidate for a program component;
- a component registration unit that registers a common circuit pattern selected by a user from candidates for the program component;
- and
- a replacement unit that replaces the common logic part of the sequence program with the program component, wherein
- the search unit searches for the common logic part, using a number of first circuit blocks specified by a user as a search unit.
