Abstract

A programmable controller comprises a user memory in which a plurality of programs each divided to functional blocks or data are stored as files and a user memory management table in which data on storage space, attribute, and capacity of each file is stored. This structure enables newly writing a file from a peripheral device, changing a capacity of each file, and freely accessing each file maintaining continuity of file data.
