Abstract
Abstract The present invention allows a programmable controller in a stored program system to easily execute even complex sequence control. A memory (50) has stored therein a first program of the ladder type and a second program described in another program language such as PASCAL or FORTRAN. First and second setting devices (51) and (52) set the execution times for processing by the first and second programs, respectively. A management device (53) executes the processing according to the first and second programs alternately for the periods of time set by the first and second setting device (51) and (52).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
A control system for a programmable controller of a stored program system that prestores a program in a memory and effects sequence control for a numerically-controlled machine tool in accordance with the program stored in the memory, comprising: the memory storing a first program of the ladder type and a second program described in a program language; first setting means for setting the execution time for processing by the first program; second setting means for setting the execution time for processing by the second program; and management means for controlling the first and second programs, wherein the management means causes execution of, on a time-shared basis, the processing by the first and second programs alternatively for period of time set by the first and second setting means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
127 words
A control system for a programmable controller of a stored program system that prestores a program in a memory and effects sequence control for a numerically-controlled machine tool in accordance with the program stored in the memory, comprising: the memory storing a first program of the ladder type and a second program described in a program language; first setting means for setting the execution time for processing by the first program; second setting means for setting the execution time for processing by the second program; and management means for controlling the first and second programs, wherein the management means causes execution of, on a time-shared basis, the processing by the first and second programs alternatively for period of time set by the first and second setting means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
63 words
A control system for a numerical controller, comprising: a numerical control unit including: storage means for storing a ladder type program and a non-ladder type program; and execution control means for time share controlling the execution of the ladder and non-ladder type programs in dependence on a changeable time share ratio that determines execution time allotted to the ladder and non-ladder type programs.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
63 words
A control system for a numerical controller, comprising: a numerical control unit including: storage means for storing a ladder type program and a non-ladder type program; and execution control means for time share controlling the execution of the ladder and non-ladder type programs in dependence on a changeable time share ratio that determines execution time allotted to the ladder and non-ladder type programs.
