Power conversion system with programming support

A programming support apparatus comprising:

• a program reading device configured to read a control program for controlling power conversion circuitry from a power conversion apparatus having the power conversion circuitry;
• and
• support circuitry configured to generate a block diagram illustrating a content of the control program and which is displayed using a plurality of functional blocks and a link indicating input and output of information between the functional blocks based on the control program read by the program reading device.

The programming support apparatus according to claim, 12, wherein

• the program reading device is further configured to read, from the power conversion apparatus, a plurality of program modules and sequence data indicating an execution order of at least two of the program modules,
• the programming support apparatus farther comprises block storage configured to store each of the functional blocks in association with at least one of the program modules, and
• the support circuitry is configured to generate the block diagram based on the sequence data read from the power conversion apparatus and a corresponding relationship between the functional blocks and the program module in the block storage.

A programming support method comprising:

• reading a control program configured to control power conversion circuitry from a power conversion apparatus having the power conversion circuitry;
• and
• generating a block diagram illustrating a content of the control program and which is displayed using a plurality of functional blocks and a link indicating input and output of information between the functional blocks based on the control program.
