Abstract
A device control apparatus has a state processing task sectionfor determining an operation state of a device among a plurality of operation states of the device; a sequence processing task sectionfor running a processing program among a plurality of processing programs, and a task connecting sectionfor selecting the sequence processing program corresponding to the operation state of the device determined by the state processing task section to activate the sequence processing task section. In this arrangement, the sequence processing program can be easily written without considering an internal state transition processing, and the internal state transition processing and the sequence processing program can be freely designed without the need of modifying the sequence processing program due to change of the internal state transition processing.
