A system for generating, editing, executing, monitoring and debugging an application program for controlling an industrial automation mechanism comprising components of logic, motion and/or process control. The programming and operating environments contain a single Man Machine Interface (MMI) with close and intuitive linkages between sequential programs and continuous programs that aid in the programming, operation and troubleshooting of application programs.

Integrated control system for industrial automation applications

High-level language motion control programs are downloaded and uploaded between a programming terminal and a remotely located I/O module through a peer-to-peer network and a programmable controller system processor. Automatic block transfer between the programmable controller system processor and the I/O module is executed in response to commands from the programming terminal. The programmable controller processor and motion control I/O module are modified to handle two types of block transfers, the first controlled from the user applications program of the programmable controller processor, and the second controlled from the programming terminal.
