摘要
A programmable controller comprises means for keeping track of the next step to be executed in the program running therein and for storing this data in a discrete location. Head addresses corresponding to the steps are stored in a table (5B) which acts as a pointer to the program corresponding to the active step. Means (8,9) are provided to keep track of transition criteria for moving from one step to the next, and a table (5C) is maintained containing data on the number of the steps which will be subsequently active and the corresponding step identification numbers, which serves as a map of the transits between the steps. The invention is especially useful in debugging programs since the active step is always determinable at any time. Also, it is easy to change the path through the program by manipulating the table data, for example to test different branches or subroutines of the program.
