Program creation device, program creation method, and program

A program creation method for a computer including a display device to create an operation program of a synchronous control device that operates two or more controlled units in synchronization with each other, the program creation method comprising:

• a step, performed by the computer, of displaying an edit screen, on which respective timing charts of the controlled units are arrayed in a vertical direction, on a display device;
• a step, performed by the computer, of receiving a first input for designating an arrangement position of a display object on the timing charts to arrange the display object at the arrangement position;
• a step, performed by the computer, of displaying the display object at the arrangement position designated by the first input on the timing charts;
• a step, performed by the computer, of receiving a second input including a designation of a type and an input of a parameter after displaying the display object;
• and
• a step, performed by the computer, of generating an operation program for executing an operation command of the type designated by the second input, to which the parameter input by the second input is applied, at an execution timing according to the arrangement position designated by the first input.

A computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to create an operation program of a synchronous control device that operates two or more controlled units in synchronization with each other, the program causing the computer to execute
