Abstract

The convenience of a design of a system is improved by making it easier to verify consumed electric power when designing and constructing the system. An operation screen is displayed upon execution of on a PC for supporting the design of a control system. The configuration of a control system can be controlled in an editing region, and unit images representing an I/O unit are connected in order to a unit image representing a communication coupler. A power supply unit can be inserted into this configuration. An icon indicates a shortage of electric power to the units downstream of the unit indicated by a selected image. When a user mouses the pointer over the icon, the detailed meaning of the icon is displayed in a message. The designer is thus capable of easily verifying the position at which a power source supply unit should be added.
