Abstract

A ladder program editing device extracts a ladder circuit satisfying a search condition for searching a ladder program based on the search condition designated by a user and a network comment associated with the extracted ladder circuit. When the extracted ladder circuit is displayed, the network comment extracted together is displayed on a screen in a form associated with the ladder circuit.

Claims

1. A ladder program editing device having a function of displaying a ladder circuit satisfying a search condition for searching a ladder program serving as a search target based on the search condition designated by a user, comprising:

a search unit configured to extract the ladder circuit satisfying the search condition from the ladder program and a network comment associated with the extracted ladder circuit; and

a search result display unit configured to display the network comment in a display state associated with the ladder circuit when the ladder circuit extracted by the search unit is displayed.

2. The ladder program editing device according to claim 1,

wherein the search unit extracts a nearest network comment displayed above the ladder circuit on a screen on which the ladder program is displayed as the network comment associated with the ladder circuit.

3. The ladder program editing device according to claim 1,

wherein the search result display unit displays the network comment above each ladder circuit.
