An arithmetic logic unit for a stored program sequence controller stores a program equivalent to a relay sequence in a program memory and executes sequence control in accordance with the stored program. A first push-down storage register for sequentially storing logical operation results at branch start points of the relay sequence and a second push-down storage register for sequentially storing logical operation results for branches connected to the branch points based on the logical operation results stored in the first push-down storage register are provided. The arithmetic logic unit carries out the operations based on the logical operation results stored in the first and second push-down storage registers.
