Abstract:
A method is provided for configuring an automated media dispense machine (115). A graphical display image representing a template for generating a configuration of dispensing parameters for the dispense machine (115) is presented on a display device (151). A graphic manipulation tool (137) is provided for graphically adjusting the display image. The display image is modified using the graphic manipulation tool (137) to configure the dispensing parameters for the dispense machine (115). A configuration of dispensing parameters for the dispense machine (115) is generated based on modifications to the display image.
Abstract:
Graphical editing methods are employed to construct programs in high-level graphical languages prior to compilation and operation in controllers for industrial or commercial equipment. The editing methods include process, hardware and program editing tasks for defining both process and hardware I/O points and connecting them to variables in a controller program. Each editing task has a tree graph window, a graph editing window, and a palette with rotating panels of graphical editing tools. The hardware editing taks uses two-layered icons to graphically simulate the hardware environment. A plurality of graph types are based on generalized node-vert-arc graphical elements which are special classes programmed in the Smalltalk programming language. Languages for the controller program include function block, sequential function chart and ladder diagram.
Abstract:
To make it possible to perform efficient program development, a development system includes a label managing unit configured to update, when an execution program D2 is regenerated, a label information table D3, which corresponds to the execution program D2, for generating execution screen data D5 and executes or does not execute, according to update content of the label information table D3, update of ID information associated with the label information table D3 and the regenerated execution program D2 and a drawing apparatus configured to associate, when execution screen data D5 is generated based on the label information table D3, ID information of a value same as the ID information, which is associated with the label information table D3 at a point when the execution screen data D5 is generated, with the generated execution screen data D5.

Abstract:
The controller executes a control calculation based on proportional and integration calculation parameters which are preset, and outputs a control output to a process, and comprises a display device for displaying panels having characters and figures thereon; a panel expanding key for instructing the display device to expand, or change, the panel to be displayed; a plurality of keys for setting control operations and various parameters; an operating panel generating unit for displaying as a bar graph a process value and a control output value on an operating panel to be displayed on the display device; a trend graph panel generating unit for displaying the transition of the process value on a trend graph panel to be displayed on the display device; a tuning panel generating unit for displaying information to control the control parameter used in the control calculation on a tuning panel to be displayed on the display device; a display controlling unit for controlling the displays of the panels; and an operation key function changing unit for changing the functions of the plurality of keys.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for programming an automatic monitoring system which includes an auxiliary input device for inputting encoded picture data relating to the picture classification, coordinate information, picture attributes, etc. for graphic plotting, a picture data filing device for filing input picture data from the auxiliary input device, a high-level language data filing device for filing high-level language data. A programming unit having a machine language transformation unit for transforming high-level language data into machine language data, the programming unit including a high-level language transformation unit for transforming the picture data filed in the picture data filing device into basic graphic plotting instruction sentences of the high-level language in accordance with high-level language transformation rules.
Abstract:
A numerical control device includes a display, a memory, and a CPU (central processing unit). The display displays an image based on image information stored in a video memory. The memory stores internal information used when a failure occurs in the numerical control device. The CPU includes a code creator and a display controller. The code creator creates a matrix two-dimensional code of the internal information stored in the memory. The display controller synthesizes image information stored in the video memory with a matrix two-dimensional code created in the code creator to display the matrix two-dimensional code on the display.
Abstract:
An interactive computer system with plural displays includes a first computer, having an input device and an output including a display and a second computer having an output including display coupled to the first computer.A voice recorder is provided to create an icon representing a recorded voice, and the icon is displayed on the display of the first computer. The input device of the first computer, which may be a mouse, is adapted to drag the icon from the display of the first computer to the display of the second computer, and to reproduce the recorded voice in response to a pointer displayed on the displays and controlled by the input device.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method of manufacturing a display for a touch screen control system which is used to control plow heads in a web folder machine, the method comprising the steps of providing a touch screen interface; taking a picture of the plow head; digitizing the picture to create a digitized image of the plow head; and displaying the digitized image of the plow head on the touch screen interface.
Abstract:
A seat attitude control apparatus for adjusting a seat with respect to forward/backward position, reclining angle and others so that the attitudes of the seat appropriate to the figures of a plurality of specified occupants can be realized individually and separately. Seat attitude data thus obtained are registered in a microcomputer so as to be utilized for controlling the seat attitude appropriate to the actual occupant as specified, as occasion requires. The seat attitude data is erasble and fresh seat attitude data can be registered for another occupant. The seat attitude control is performed with the aid of one memory switch and four control switches disposed in an array convenient for manipulation.
