Abstract

An engineering tool coordination device includes a first tool interface configured to acquire first data having a first data format usable to an engineering tool, a data converter configured to convert the first data into second data usable to the control program, the second data having a second data format, a program provider configured to provide the second data to the control program, a second tool interface configured to acquire a first test request having a first test request format from the engineering tool, a test converter configured to convert the first test request into a second test request executable in the control program, the second test request having a second test request format, and a test manager configured to cause to execute an operation test program in the control program and to operate an operation test using the second data on a basis of the second test request.

Dependent claims

An engineering tool coordination device comprising:

a first tool interface configured to acquire first data having a first data format usable to an engineering tool, the engineering tool being configured to engineer a control program executed in a control device configured to control an operation of a plant;
a data converter configured to convert the first data acquired by the first tool interface into second data usable to the control program, the second data having a second data format different from the first data format;
a program provider configured to provide the second data converted by the data converter to the control program;
a second tool interface configured to acquire a first test request having a first test request format from the engineering tool;
a test converter configured to convert the first test request acquired by the second tool interface into a second test request executable in the control program, the second test request having a second test request format different from the first test request format;
and
a test manager configured to cause to execute an operation test program in the control program and to operate an operation test using the second data on a basis of the second test request acquired by the test converter.

An engineering tool coordination method comprising:

acquiring first data having a first data format usable to an engineering tool, the engineering tool being configured to engineer a control program executed in a control device configured to control an operation of a plant;
converting the first data into second data usable to the control program, the second data having a second data format different from the first data format;
providing the second data to the control program;
acquiring a first test request having a first test request format from the engineering tool;
converting the first test request into a second test request executable in the control program, the second test request having a second test request format different from the first test request format;
and
causing to execute an operation test program in the control program and to operate an operation test using the second data on a basis of the second test request.

4 more elements

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured for execution by a computer, the one or more programs comprising instructions for:

acquiring first data having a first data format usable to an engineering tool, the engineering tool being configured to engineer a control program executed in a control device configured to control an operation of a plant;
converting the first data into second data usable to the control program, the second data having a second data format different from the first data format;
providing the second data to the control program;
acquiring a first test request having a first test request format from the engineering tool;
converting the first test request into a second test request executable in the control program, the second test request having a second test request format different from the first test request format;
and
causing to execute an operation test program in the control program and to operate an operation test using the second data on a basis of the second test request.
