ABSTRACT:
A controller for an automated apparatus includes a plurality of operating units which operate independently while cooperating with one another, each operating unit driving a plurality of input/output elements. The controller includes a program control device for programmatically controlling the plurality of operating units, a direct designating device which, when the program control device controls the plurality of operating units independent from an external unit, is for directly designating individual input/output elements by an exclusive first set of numbers within the automated apparatus, an external interface device for interfacing an external unit, and an indirect designating device which, when the program control device communicates with the external unit via the interface device, is for indirectly designating individual input/output elements by a mutually exclusive second set of numbers within each of the operating units. The indirect designating device has a converting device for converting the second set of numbers into the first set of numbers.
