<p>PURPOSE:To change an operating pattern and to shorten time necessary to change data by preparing operating pattern data composed of sharable bit strings and supplying the same data to automated equipments. CONSTITUTION:The operating pattern data are composed of 64-bit data strings which are four strings of 16-bit data. The common data including the pattern data are supplied to overall panels 20a-20c through data managers 18a-18c and sub-networks 14a-14c. They are supplied to line side computers 24a-24c and control computers 26 and 28 through a main network 12 and stored if necessary. Consequently, when the common data are changed or abolished in a production line 12, only data stored in a control table 52h provided for a host computer 16 are changed, added or erased. The common data after the modification are distributed to control equipments through the main network 12 or the sub-networks 14a-14c.</p> |
