    Abstract: A control system includes a programmable logic controller to execute at least one program and a programming support device to create the program. In the control system, an end process time measurer measures an execution time of an end process performed after execution of the program in a single scanning process, and a display displays the execution time of the end process on a screen in the programming support device.

    Abstract: A differential logger stores, into a log storage from a device memory, a differential log being a log of a device value that has changed at each execution of a control program. A collective logger collectively stores, at a set time, collection target device values into the log storage as reference data to be used to collect the differential log. A split logger acquires as split logs, after the set time, logs of the device values multiple times, and stores the split logs into the reference data storage. The differential logger overwrites data in the log storage with the differential log after new reference data is stored into the log storage.

    Abstract: An industrial internet of things (IoT) gateway is communicatively coupled to (a) fluid condition sensor(s) monitoring (an) operating parameter(s) of fluid power system fluid, via a programmable logic controller (PLC) data communications protocol interface. The IoT gateway includes a PLC data communications protocol interface master function, a cloud computing interface module and program instructions to periodically sample fluid condition sensor readings, format the readings, and send the readings to a cloud computing message queuing telemetry transport broker for processing by a cloud monitoring system. Machine learning provides predictions of fluid quality and buildup of varnish in the fluid system, applies a scoring algorithm to predict fluid system failure. These predictions may be used to automatically create (a) work ticket(s) related to the fluid system. Servicing by mitigation of varnish, installation of the sensor system, issuance of a warranty, guarantee and/or service contract, and/or financing thereof, may be provided.

    Abstract: Provided is an environment that can effectively supports development of a sequence program. A support device that supports the development of a sequence program deploys, when the sequence program is displayed, a call instruction of a unit program for configuring the sequence program to a circuit represented by a sequence logic defined by the unit program and displays the circuit, and changes, in accordance with an operation of changing the circuit, tire sequence logic of the circuit. When the sequence program is converted into executable code, the support device assigns, to the call instruction in the sequence program, either code of the sequence logic thus changed or code of the call instruction in accordance with a switching option.

    Abstract: The present invention provides an information processing device, a recording medium, and a support system. With respect to a second program having a call instruction that designates an actual argument and calls a first program defined by using a dummy argument, the content of the first program defined by using the dummy argument according to a user operation is associated with the call instruction in the second program, and the associated result is displayed. In this case, the actual argument designated in the call instruction to the dummy argument is reflected in the first program, and the reflected result is displayed.

    Abstract: A flexible map with application data identifiers for PLC communications is described. An example method comprises receiving a first user input indicative of a selection of a parameter from a plurality of parameters associated with an adhesive dispensing system (614). The parameter is subject to data exchange between a controller (616) of the adhesive dispensing system (614) and an associated programmable logic controller (610). A second user input is received that is indicative of a memory space location in a memory space of the controller (616). A custom data map is generated that is indicative of an association between the selected parameter and the memory space location.
