Abstract
The present invention manages a plurality of sections constituting a program in a format that reflects information in a mutual inclusion relationship, e.g. “function and process of a device,” regardless of a logical relationship. In accordance with a user operation, a development assistance device (10) assigns, to each of a plurality of sections (SC) constituting a program (PG), a level number (HN) identifying the level to which each section belongs.
Claims15
A development assistance device for assisting a user in creating a program to be executed by a control device,
- wherein the program is divided into a plurality of sections that are units of processing set by the user regardless of a calling relationship,
