Abstract
A mini controller has an intelligent central unit; a storage unit, an operating unit and a display unit. The display unit is subdivided into a sign matrix with n*m sign locations, each sign location in turn being formed by an x*y pixel matrix. Each sign location is associated with a particular type of object, so that only particular types of objects can be input and processed at particular sign locations. Sign locations are provided for at least one object of the operand type, of the connection type and of the assignment type. The object types, the momentary operand states and the resulting connection states are stored in an object assignment table, so that logic-forming current paths can be created by inputting in rows and/or columns the operand, connection and assignment objects into their associated sign locations.
