Publication number: 20210026609Abstract: The present invention provides a support device supports easy development of a control program in which the data type of control data is considered. A command code generation means generates: a variable for each control datum; information that defines a data type that corresponds to the variable, the data type being at least one type from among other data types that have the same data-handling method; and a command code for which a process executed by a control device is described using the defined variable. When generating an executable program using the defining information and the command code, an executable program generation means generates a type set that comprises one or more data types defined in correspondence with each variable that has an operational expression indicated by the command code, selects one type from the type set of the operational expression based on a standard for ensuring operational precision, and determines the type as the data type of the operational result.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2019Publication date: January 28, 2021Applicant: OMRON CorporationInventor: Kenji UNO

Publication number: 20190196798Abstract: An executable program creation unit performs lexical-syntactical analysis to generate an intermediate representation from source code, using a compiler program. The executable program creation unit extracts function call processing included in the intermediate representation. The executable program creation unit evaluates a function replacement condition set for the function call processing and corresponding to characteristics of a device controlled by the executable program. The executable program creation unit replaces the function call processing according to a function replacement rule if the function replacement condition is satisfied. The executable program creation unit intermediately generates a relocatable object using the replaced function call processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2017Publication date: June 27, 2019Applicant: OMRON CorporationInventors: Kenji UNO, Takuya HIROTA

Patent number: 9746845Abstract: Provided is a support device that supports easier data exchange between PLCs without relying on a type of a PLC of the other communication party. The support device includes: a first input unit for receiving information defining, on a data-by-data basis, variables for data handled by the first programmable logic controller; a second input unit for receiving a source program expressing processing executed on the first programmable logic controller using the defined variables; a third input unit for receiving information that identifies a type of a second programmable logic controller in association with a first variable; and a generation unit that generates the executable program using the information defining the variables and the source program. The generation unit adapts a data structure of first data secured in the memory in correspondence with the first variable in accordance with the type of the second programmable logic controller.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2013Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: OMRON CORPORATIONInventors: Akio Ono, Kenji Uno, Yoshihide Nishiyama, Satoru Miura
