Abstract
A control program is automatically created using an action chart that is easy to create for an automated manufacturing machine with a complex operation. A subchart is pre-created for a set of consecutive subperiods of multiple subperiods included in an action chart. The action chart includes a subchart representation in a subperiod for identifying the subchart to represent the set of consecutive subperiods corresponding to the subchart. The action chart and the subchart are read together. Program elements for element actions in the subperiods on the action chart are combined together. For the subperiod with the subchart representation on the action chart, program elements for element actions assigned to the consecutive subperiods on the subchart are combined together in an order of the consecutive subperiods on the subchart. The control program is thus generated.
