Abstract

A programming apparatus having an arrangement for formulating an automating task to be performed in the form of a programming language for automating apparatuses is described, which simplifies a process error analysis for an analysis unit. For this purpose, the programming apparatus is provided with an arrangement that store operands (9; 27), marked to be monitored, in the order in which they appear in the network in a logic list. Furthermore, the programming apparatus has an arrangement that store the operands of this network in an operand list in the order in which they appear in the network. The lists can be transferred into the analysis unit for analysis.
