Patent number: 12253847Abstract: When a general-purpose operation part (22, 23) is hidden by a window part (24), it becomes hard for an operator to visually check an association state between a field device (10A, 10B) and a hardware switch (3). If such a display state has occurred, an HMI server (5) stops a health check signal which is being output to a PLC (6). The PLC (6) detects the stop of the health check signal and forcibly cancels the association state between the field device (10A, 10B) and the hardware switch (3). Thus, a human error can be prevented.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2020Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: TMEIC CORPORATIONInventors: Vittal Rao, Akira Nojima, Nobuo Shimizu, Ryo Shimizu
