This section describes sequence programs.
3.1.1 Procedure for Creating Sequence Programs
The following flowchart illustrates the procedure for creating a
sequence program.

Create sequence program (design, address mapping, coding)
In online function, programming and monitoring are carried out on a personal computer
connected to the PMC.
In offline function, programming is carried out on a personal computer not connected to the
PMC.
The other PMC programming systems (for use on OPEN CNC) include FANUC LADDER
(DOS) , FANUC LADDER-II (DOS) and FANUC LADDER-III (Windows).
Refer to the following manuals:
- FANUC LADDER (for Use on PC) Operator's Manual (B-66131E)
- FANUC LADDER-II Operator's Manual (B-66184EN)
- FANUC LADDER-III Operator's Manual (B-66234EN)
