<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To display dynamically and hierarchically a control procedure which is being executed by collecting information related to the control procedure of a batch process which is being executed at present from a processor, controlling a display device according to the executing situation of the control means, and changing the display content of the hierarchical structure display. SOLUTION: In a distributed controller for operating product generation by allowing plural processors 1a-1c to operate plural batch processes, a controller 2 collects information related to the control procedure of the batch process which is being executed from the processors 1a-1c, controls a display device 3 according to the executing situation of the control procedure, and changes the display content of the hierarchical structure display. In this case, it is preferable that the display device 3 operates the hierarchical structure display of a control procedure by processor units or by batch process units. Moreover, the controller 2 controls the display or the deletion of the lower rank hierarchy in the hierarchical structure display of the display device 3, based on the output of a pointing device 4 such as a mouse.</p> |
