Abstract
In connection with manufacturing automation, software may be defined as the informal conversion of a technical problem into a sequence of instructions (program) that are understood by the programmable controller. Software preparation involves the analysis of problems and the generation of the program by the user. A relatively recent addition to the definition of software is the inclusion of program documentation.
Systems described here are marketed in the United States by Siemens Capital Corporation, Iselin, New Jersey.
