ABSTRACT:
In the field of automation technology, processes, which are controlled by stored program controllers (2), are divided into modules, which are also known as function blocks. If possible, these function blocks should be used universally. The interfaces of these modules are different from or independent of the technological parameters of the actual technical function. It is a problem for the user to have access to internal knowledge of the program in order to implement the controller (2) for a specific application. To address this and other problems, a programming tool and programming method for creating programs are disclosed, which will provide the user (1), either additionally or alternatively, with technological insight into a process that is to be controlled and/or regulated. An interface (3) is connected between the user (1) and the stored program controller (2), and a plurality of input masks (5) is offered to the user (1) for inputting technological parameters of the process. Therein a respective input mask (5) is assigned to at least a part of the function blocks.
