Method of storing data in internal storage device in a molding machine controller and internal storage device carrying out the same method
First Claim
1. A method of storing data in an internal storage device included in a process controller for controlling a molding machine, said method comprising:
- hierarchically dividing storage areas of the internal storage device into a first storage area for storing molding condition data changeableaccording to a product or an operating environment,a second storage area for storing changeable machine data which are specific to the molding machine but changeable according to a specification of the molding machine, anda third storage area having a program storage area allocated for storing programs for controlling the operation of the molding machine and a data storage area allocated for storing unchangeable machine specific data which are specific to the molding machine and inaccessible to a user;
selectively initializing the first storage area, the second storage area and the third storage area individually or in an optional combination of storage areas; and
storing the molding condition data in the first storage area, the changeable machine data in the second storage area, and the unchangeable machine data in the third storage area.

Abstract
A method of storing data in an internal storage device included in a process controller for controlling a molding machine divides storage areas of the internal storage device hierarchically into a molding condition data storage area for storing molding condition data specific to a product or an operating environment, a changeable machine data storage area for storing changeable machine data specific to the molding machine and necessary for setting operating conditions and subject to change when necessary, and an unchangeable machine data storage area for storing unchangeable machine data specific to the molding machine. The molding condition data storage area, the changeable machine data storage area, and the unchangeable machine data storage area can selectively be initialized individually or in an optional combination.
