Abstract
An apparatus for displaying a ladder diagram in a numerical control system having a programmable sequence control function in which sequence processing is executed based on a sequence program to deliver commands from a numerical control device to a machine and signals from the machine to the numerical control device. A display unit displays the sequence program in the form of a ladder diagram made up of relays. The pictures of ladder diagrams in the sequence program which are displayed on a screen are generated by pattern and character information stored in a character generator. The identification of a relay of interest or the memory address storing the state of the relay is entered, an item of sequence data indicating the conditions which turn the relay on are selected, and a ladder diagram segments indicative of the conditions are displayed on the basis of the sequence data.
