Abstract
A programmable controller includes a terminal which receives input data from an input unit and outputs output data to be applied to an output unit. The programmable controller also includes a communication unit which executes a serial communication with the terminal to send the output data to the output unit and to receive the input data from the input unit. A control unit repeatedly executes an input process for reading the input data received by the communication unit, an output process for sending the output data to be transmitted by the communication unit, a program execution process for executing a user program and an other process. The program execution process is executed between the input process and a subsequent output process, and the other process is executed between the output process and a subsequent input process.
