Appeal No. 95-4466
Application 08/135,188
BACKGROUND
The present invention is directed to a process for creating a control program for a
programmable controller. The control program includes both basic program instructions
which can be directly accessed by the processor and subroutines of program instructions
which are not included in the basic elements. These subroutines of program instructions
are stored in an auxiliary memory. The auxiliary memory is accessed and the subroutines
of program instructions are retrieved and stored in consecutive addresses in the main
memory in the sequence in which they were retrieved.
Claim 18 is the sole remaining claim and is reproduced below:
18. A method of creating a control program for a programmable controller for
controlling a controlled device, comprising the steps of:
(a) entering into a main memory, by use of an input device, a
sequence program making up a sequence of operations to be
incorporated into said control program, items which are entered to
make up said sequence program including:
(1) basic program instructions which are directly executable
by a processing unit;
(2) common operation designation names of application
instructions, said application instructions each being the title of
a respective subroutine composed of certain ones of said
basic program instructions, said subroutines being previously
stored in an auxiliary memory; and
