Abstract:
A method for resuming the machining of works, which shortens the time until the resume of the machining after an alarm is generated. When an alarm, which can be released by correcting the machining program and by changing machining conditions, is generated, machining control, copying, etc. are resumed automatically from the end point of the previous block of the program (steps S12-S16). Thereby, the machining control, copying, etc., which are conventionally interrupted until operators perform the correction of the machining program and the change of the machining conditions, can be performed continuously without any interruption. Therefore, even in the case of an unmanned operation of a long time, any unnecessary time is not wasted.
Abstract:
When the position signals from pick-up systems (G1, G2), in particular absolute angle-encoders, are processed at given time-intervals (delta T), sporadic measurement errors can occur. The invention calls for each position measurement to be followed closely in time (delta t) by a second measurement. The second measurement is used as the position measurement if the main measurement proves to be erroneous, i.e. when there is a difference in speed from the previous measurement which would not have been expected from the normal acceleration.
Abstract:
Processes and circuitry for the monitoring of final control elements, which was hitherto realised with acoustic or optical warning systems, but has proved insufficient for computer-controlled final control elements, in particular safety devices. In order to achieve a quicker, more reliable and essentially automatic monitoring of computer-controlled final control elements, the output of the computer and the control output of the final control element are both monitored. Certain disturbances can be deduced from the signal probes thus obtained, then either corrected or displayed.
Abstract:
A servomotor driven machine under control of a control system is disclosed that incorporates a diagnostic system for early detection of the need for service thereby allowing for preventive maintenance to avert machine failure. The control system includes a servomotor (90) that drives a movable component of an apparatus. A controller (20) is provided for directing the movements of the servomotor (90) in accordance with a predetermined motion profile. The controller (20) monitors torque load on the servomotor (90) within a predetermined time frame and compares the monitored torque load with one or more predetermined service torque values to determine whether a service condition exists that requires maintenance. A status indicator responsive to the detection of a service condition by the controller (20) is employed to provide an indication of the service condition to, for example, an alphanumeric or graphic display (205) or printer (215), a central computerized maintenance scheduling system (230), and/or an automatic maintenance system.
Abstract:
A numerical controller such that the causes of system stop due to abnormality in the communication of error detecting or error correcting system are easily found and the measure to be taken to eliminate the causes is easily examined. In the numerical controller which performs communication by using error detecting codes or error correcting codes, a monitoring means monitors and outputs the name of communication line through which an error is detected in the data received or an error in the data received is corrected, the number of occurrences of communication impossibility and the times at which the communication impossibilities occur. An error detecting and corrected-state storing means stores information from the monitoring means by observing the information for every communication line and outputs the information representing the error detection and the corrected state. A displaying means displays the information outputted from the error detecting and corrected-state storing means in accordance with the command given by the operator.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a roller blind control which is capable, preferably by microprocessor control, of allocating freely defined brightnesses to equally freely determined positions of the blind. Further closing functions, e.g. time, temperature, glass breakage and alarm sensor positions can be interlinked by control programs.
