To cope with all the taking-out orders with a reduced processing number to effectively utilize a memory of a program area, by using coordinate transformation processing combined with the operation of an automatic handler.

A CPU 101 executes coordinate transformation processing (right and left transformation processing, up-and-down transformation processing, XY transformation processing) for coordinate-transforming, in response to an assigned taking-out order, taken-out coordinates set in a taking-out coordinate order table preliminarily stored in a RAM 107, based on a coordinate transformation processing program assigned by an OS program stored in a memory 108, when device taking-out processing is executed by an automatic handler based on the selected device taking-out order. The device taking-out coordinates set by the coordinate transformation hereinbefore are stored in the RAM 107.
