Abstract: A communication system is provided which allows synchronous devices in different synchronous communication networks to have synchronous communications with one another via an asynchronous communication network. In the communication system of the present invention, a master communication device generates a master clock based on a reference clock which is provided by a clock supplier. The master communication device sends a synchronization information frame, which contains information about the generated master clock, to plural slave communication devices via the asynchronous communication network. The slave communication devices each reproduce the master clock from the received synchronization information frame.

Abstract: The invention provides a tool magazine device for a vertical machining center having a protective cover for a shank. A tool magazine device 100 disposed in a vertical machining center comprises a chain 120 moved between sprocket wheels 130 and 140, and the chain 120 is equipped with tool holders 200. Each tool holder 200 has a tool holder member 220 for holding the shank portion of the tool 1 and a shank pod 230 for covering the shank portion. The automatic tool change preparation device 300 lifts the shank pod 230 by gripping a knob 250 of a shaft 240 connected to the shank pod 230, so as to enable an automatic tool change arm to change the tool 1.

Abstract: A measurement control apparatus designed to automatically select an interface circuit compatible with a measurement controlled object without error. A measurement control processor outputs interface setting data for setting one interface circuit compatible with the measurement controlled object in advance of output of measurement control data to the measurement controlled object. Based on this, an interface setting means activates only that interface circuit. Further, the processor is provided with a loopback unit for returning the interface setting data to the measurement control processor and confirms the match of the output interface setting data and the returned interface setting data. Further, it is provided with an identification code setting means for setting an identification code unique to an interface board mounting the interface circuit and confirms that the interface board has been correctly selected.

Abstract: An opening-and-closing control device is disclosed, in which speed of an opening-and-closing body can be increased even while automatic operation is performed. The device includes an operation knob that performs opening-and-closing control of an opening-and-closing body according to an instruction from an operation switch which is switchable to each of positions of “automatic closing”, “manual closing”, “neutral”, “manual opening” and “automatic opening”, wherein first the operation knob is operated to start the automatic opening operation, and then when the operation knob is held in the position of the “automatic opening”, an opening speed of the opening-and-closing body is increased according to a time period for which the operation knob is held in the position of the “automatic opening”, therefore the opening-and-closing body can be opened at high speed even while the automatic opening operation is performed.

Abstract: In generation of communication data, continuous data capable of being acquired by a data logger is set as original data and the original data is sampled every a timing period t inputted. Since the original data and timing of sampling are displayed on the same screen, it can visually be checked which portion of the original is sampled and sent. In the timing of sampling, an initial point can be shifted. Assuming urgent time such as abnormal occurrence, a sending point for sampling the original data and generating and sending the communication data can be inputted and set at the time other than the sampling period t.

Abstract: Specific parameters used for calculation of a worst-case parameter can be readily selected. Parameters not suitable for characteristic-value expression are eliminated from principal parameters (step ST31), and model equations are extracted (step ST32). Then, parameter values extracted from the same chip are inserted into the model equations to calculate the characteristic value (step ST32). A correlation coefficient between the calculated and measured characteristic values are obtained (step ST33) to select specific parameters (step ST34).
