  • Patent number: 10416641
    Abstract: An operation program editing device includes a program editing portion configured to edit an operation program executable by a programmable controller that controls a facility, and the program editing portion includes a bypass circuit generation unit that generates a bypass circuit including a bypass path for skipping execution of some of the plurality of steps at a time of reactivation of the facility, a first selection receiving unit that receives selection of a last step, from among the plurality of steps, within a range where the execution is skipped by the bypass circuit, and a second selection receiving unit that receives selection of a first step, from among the plurality of steps, within the range where the execution is skipped by the bypass circuit.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9933773
    Abstract: A monitoring device for a programmable controller includes: a display portion configured to display, on a display, a step that is being executed by the programmable controller among a plurality of steps in such a manner that the step can be distinguished from the other steps; a receiving portion configured to receive selection of a step serving as an initial point of reactivation in a case where a facility stops during a continuous operation by the programmable controller; and a change instruction generation portion configured to generate an instruction to the programmable controller so as to cause the programmable controller to restart execution of control processes from the step received by the receiving portion at the time of the reactivation.
