A robot repeats successive works for each process point. A controller stores, in a storage, control data that arrays therein structural point blocks each bundling the successive works for each process point. The structural point block arrays therein point statements 8 indicating details of the successive works. A debugger executes step-over which sequentially executes the control data in a unit of structural point block, and which aborts the execution.

A system is provided for distributed execution of a sequence processing chain. The system comprises an interface adapted to set a measurement sequence for a plurality of measurement sites, each comprising a sequence runner. The system further comprises a sequencer repository adapted to be accessed locally from the plurality of measurement sites. Moreover, the system comprises a sequence state manager adapted to receive measurement sequence states from at least one sequence runner and further adapted to distribute the measurement sequence states to other sequence runners via a network. In this context, the measurement sequence states are associated with data and/or results through the sequence processing chain.

A method in an industrial process control system comprises creating a control strategy for an industrial process, running a simulation of the control strategy, and rewinding the simulation of the control strategy.
