  • Publication number: 20240134327
    Abstract: A system includes control devices, an integrated control device, and an operation terminal. The control devices respectively control movement mechanisms. The integrated control device outputs a command for each of the movement mechanisms to a control device that controls the movement mechanism. The operation terminal outputs a first command for a specific movement mechanism to the integrated control device, the specific movement mechanism being any of the movement mechanisms. The integrated control device generates a second command corresponding to the specific movement mechanism based on the first command and outputs the second command to a specific control device that controls the specific movement mechanism. The integrated control device or the specific control device generates, based on the second command, an operation profile that defines a temporal change in an operation of the specific movement mechanism.

    Abstract: A synchronization control device (10) includes: a main axis command calculator (Cmm) that calculates a main axis command position based on time-series target position information; a main axis modeler (Mm) that calculates a predicted main axis feedback position by a dynamic characteristic model of a main axis servo control mechanism (20) by inputting the main axis command position, a main axis feedback position, and a predicted main axis command position after a predetermined time calculated based on the target position information; and a driven axis command calculator (Cms) that calculates a driven axis command position based on the predicted main axis feedback position. This configuration achieves synchronization control that improves the accuracy of synchronous drive of the driven axis.

  • Patent number: 11669268
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus which implements a rebuild process for restoring a mirroring state even when each of a plurality of connected external storage devices is configured to input and output data to and from a host controller by accessing a storage area of the host controller. When the host controller has issued an instruction to carry out the rebuild process in which data in one of the external storage devices is copied to the other one, one of the external storage devices which is about to write data to the storage area of the host controller for the rebuild process is caused to write the data to the buffer provided in the bridge device, and the other one which is about to read data from the storage area of the host controller for the rebuild process is caused to read the data from the buffer.

  • Publication number: 20230105178
    Abstract: In a case where the storage area of an information processing apparatus is insufficient for data to be downloaded, an information terminal causes the size of a lacking storage space and a list of stored data in the storage area to be displayed, and accepts, from a user, selection of the data targeted for deletion. If the selection is expected to resolve the lack of storage space, the information terminal accepts a deletion request and issues the deletion request to a management server to achieve deletion of the target data.
