Abstract
A programmable controller includes a memory which stores an I/O image table and a data table. An I/O scanner module updates the I/O image table with the status of I/O devices connected to the programmable controller. The processor executes a control program to perform logical and arithmetic operations on the data in the data table. Such operations may be performed on data of different types and any necessary data conversions are performed automatically. Also, such operations may be performed on entire data files without degrading the response time of the programmable controller.
