PROGRAMMING DEVICE

摘要

A programming device creating a program in FBD language describing processes by connecting FBD parts on an editor screen, includes: a part information managing unit managing size information indicating a size of an FBD part; a recommended order determining unit acquiring, when operation to newly arrange an FBD part relative to an already-arranged FBD part on the editor screen is performed, size information on the already-arranged FBD part and size information on the FBD part to be newly arranged, from the part information managing unit, detecting regions where the FBD part to be newly arranged can be arranged based on the acquired size information, and determining a recommended priority order of part arrangement among the regions based on positions of the detected regions; and an editor unit displaying the recommended priority order determined by the recommended order determining unit in the regions.

主权项

1. A programming device that creates a program in FBD language that describes processes by connecting a plurality of FBD parts on an editor screen, the programming device comprising:
a part information managing unit that manages size information indicating a size of an FBD part; a recommended order determining unit that acquires, when an operation to newly arrange an FBD part relative to an already-arranged FBD part on the editor screen is performed, size information on the already-arranged FBD part and size information on the FBD part to be newly arranged, from the part information managing unit, detects a plurality of regions where the FBD part to be newly arranged is capable of being arranged on a basis of the acquired size information, and determines a recommended priority order of part arrangement among the plurality of regions on a basis of positions of the detected regions; and an editor unit that displays the recommended priority order determined by the recommended order determining unit in the regions.
