  • Software management system, software updater, software updating method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing software update program
    Patent number: 10664263
    Abstract: A software management system includes a control system connected to a first network and including at least one of control circuitry and a sensor, each controllable by updating first control software in the respective at least one of the control circuitry and sensor, a software distribution device including first circuitry that stores second control software and transmits the second software through a second network, and a software update device including second circuitry that, while the software device is connected to the second network, receives the second software from the distribution device and stores the second software, and while the update device is connected to the first network, transmits the second software to the respective at least one of the control circuitry and sensor to cause the respective at least one of the control circuitry and sensor to update the first software using the second software.

  • Apparatus for selecting motor controller
    Patent number: 7984009
    Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for selecting a motor controller, the apparatus including a selection calculation unit, an input unit, an output unit, a mechanism condition input unit, a command setting unit, a monitoring unit, and an evaluation unit. The apparatus can select a motor controller registered in the characteristics database and machine parts registered in a mechanism condition characteristics database on the basis of an operation pattern and a mechanism condition. The apparatus can evaluate whether a combination of the motor controller and the machine parts is operable as a machine system.
