The present invention relates to a software module, and, especially, relates to a software module for integration having severe restriction on the available memory amount and the real-time operation, and provides a software module for integration having increased inheritance in software. This is a software module for integration, integrated as a software module within a device to control the device. The software module has a public module for updating a public data value, an intermediate module for converting the data value in a predetermined data format updated in the public module into a data value in a predetermined data format adaptable to a referencing side, and a referencing module for referencing the data value in a predetermined data format converted by the intermediate module. The publication and referencing process can be implemented among the modules.
Abstract:
Provided is an order-receiving production system and so on of a wire and wiring harness, by which the cost of the wire and a product using the wire can be prevented from increasing and the resource-saving can be attained. An order-receiving production system 1 of a wiring harness includes a wire-producing department 14, a wiring harness-assembling department 15 and a production control department 16. The production control department 16 forwards a first ordered quantity data D1, second ordered quantity data D2 and third ordered quantity data D3, each data meeting the received ordered data D, to a resin-producing department 44, core wire-producing department 45 and additive-producing department 46, respectively. The departments 44, 45 and 46 produce a pellet, core wire and additive with the respective necessary amount, respectively, and send them to the wire-producing department 14. The wire-producing department 14 extrudes a mixture of the pellets and additive onto a circumference of the core wire while simultaneously mixing the pellets and additive so that the core wire is coated with the mixture, and sends the wire produced to the wiring harness-assembling department 15 for assembling a wiring harness.
Abstract:
A method and device for automatically marking an article are provided, by which the deterioration in the yield can be prevented from occurring and a color of a mark to be formed on the article can be easily changed. A device 1 for automatically marking an electric wire as a device for automatically marking an article marks an outer surface 3a of an electric wire 3. The device 1 includes first and second spouting means 311, 321, encoder 33 and control device 34. The first spouting means 311 spouts a specific amount of a first coloring agent toward the outer surface 3a of the electric wire 3. The second spouting means 312 spouts a specific amount of a second coloring agent toward the outer surface 3a of the electric wire 3. The encoder 33 detects a transfer speed of the electric wire 2 which is transferred in a direction of arrow K. The control device 34 makes the first and second spouting means 311, 312 spout the coloring agent according to a pattern predetermined in advance in response to the transfer speed of the wire 3 detected by the encoder 33.
Abstract:
The present invention provides electrical cables that can be surely discriminated from one another, even when only a part of an outer surface of each cable is exposed. An electrical cable 1 has an electrically conductive core 5 and a sheathing layer 6 covering the core 5. The sheathing layer 6 has an outer surface 6a with a mono-color. On the outer surface 6a, a first mark 7 and a second mark 8 are provided. At an end 1a of the cable 1, the first mark 7 is provided on a first outer surface 1b while the second mark 8 is provided on a second outer surface 1c positioned oppositely to the first surface 1b of the sheathing layer 6. On the first outer surface 1b, a plurality of the first and second marks 7, 8 are provided to be alternately positioned in a longitudinal direction of the cable 1. The first mark 7 has a first color R while the second mark 8 has a second color G different from the first color R. Desirable variation in hue of the first and second colors R, G allows discrimination of the cables 1 from each other.
Abstract:
An electrical cable coating apparatus provides a coating layer on an outer surface of an electrical cable which is moving along a predetermined direction. A coating liquid jet unit jets a given amount of a coating liquid at regular intervals to provide a coating layer on the outer surface of the electrical cable. A storage device stores a pattern for depositing the coating liquid on the outer surface of the electrical cable. A detection device determines the moving speed of the electrical cable, and a control unit controls the coating liquid jet unit to jet a coating liquid to deposit the coating liquid on the outer surface to define the pattern based on the electrical cable moving speed.
Abstract:
This invention intends to provide a method and apparatus for manufacturing an electric wire, capable of easily changing a color applied to the electric wire. The electric wire manufacturing apparatus intends to manufacture an electric wire composed of a core and a cladding. In step S1, the core is supplied from a supply unit. In step S2, in an extrusion cladding unit, the outer periphery of the core is coated with non-color synthetic resin by extrusion cladding to form the cladding. In step S3, the outer surface of the cladding is colored by a coloring unit. The coloring unit includes a plurality of sprayers 15 and 16. In step S3, the sprayers 15 and 16 are exchanged to operate as necessary. In step S4, in a take-up unit, the electric wire is cut into segments each having a desired length, which are wound around a drum.
Abstract:
An object of the invention is to provide an electrical cable reuse method which reduces a long time stock of cables. For assembling a wiring harness, step S1 reuses special electrical cables stocked in an electrical cable storehouse, and the cables having been colored in a first color are coated with a second color. Step 2 cuts ordinary cables and special cables each in a desired length, removes a part of a cable sheath of each cable, and fits a terminal piece to the exposed part. Step 3 connects ordinary cables and the special cables with each other. Step 4 inserts the terminal piece into a connector housing.
