Programmable controller system

A programmable controller comprising:

• a control device;
• and
• a functional device that is connected to the control device via a bus and that includes a buffer memory and a general-purpose logic unit, wherein
• the functional device includes
• a memory that stores therein a circuit control parameter that represents a relation between a buffer memory address indicating an address in the buffer memory and a logic address indicating an address in a logic of the general-purpose logic unit and that is used for transfer of operation data indicating an operation of the logic to the logic, and
• a circuit control unit that transfers the operation data to the logic address on a basis of the specified buffer memory address and the circuit control parameter stored in the memory.

A programmable controller comprising:

• a control device that includes a peripheral device interface connected to a peripheral device that includes a graphical user interface that includes a display device and an input device;
• and
• a functional device that is connected to the control device via a bus and that includes a buffer memory and a general-purpose logic unit, wherein
• the graphical user interface outputs a circuit-control-parameter setting unit that sets a circuit control parameter that represents a relation between a buffer memory address indicating an address in the buffer memory and a logic address indicating an address in a logic of the general-purpose logic unit and that is used for transfer of operation data indicating an operation of the logic to the logic, and
• the control device includes a memory to which a data value of the operation data indicating a desired changed operation or function and the buffer memory address associated with a logic address in a logic for which change of an operation is desired are transferred, the data value and the buffer memory address being specified in the graphical user interface.
