  • Patent number: 11911891
    Abstract: An actuator system that picks up workpieces aims to shorten tact time and to reduce damages to workpieces. The actuator system includes an actuator that picks up a workpiece, an external force detection sensor that detects a physical quantity that is correlated with an external force that is applied to the workpiece, a head unit that is connected to the actuator and the external force detection sensor without a communication network, the head unit being configured to control the actuator based on a sensing result from the external force detection sensor when a pickup request signal that is a signal requesting pickup of the workpiece is received, and a control device that is connected to the head unit over the communication network, the control device being configured to transmit the pickup request signal to the head unit.

  • Patent number: 9209919
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, the transmission processor of the master terminal includes a sending/receiving processor which sends a synchronization request demanding packet to a particular slave terminal and sends a synchronization reply packet when receiving a synchronization request packet from the slave terminal that has received the synchronization request demanding packet, and a synchronization controller which calculates a synchronization band from the time of the receipt of the data packet and from time information added to the received data packet to determine a synchronization state and which adjusts a correction amount in accordance with the synchronization state and sends an internal timing correction command to the timing generator.

  • Patent number: 8547201
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, when sending a transmission target main data 21, an authentication-tag generator unit 13 generates an authentication tag 23 by using a main data 21 and a key data 22 stored in a key-data storage unit 12. A transmitter/receiver unit 14 adds the authentication tag 23 to the main data 32 sends as a transmission data. When receiving the received data 24a, the transmitter/receiver unit 14 divides the received data into a main data 21a and an authentication tag 23a. The authentication-tag generator unit 13 generates an authentication tag 23b for comparison. A received-data authentication unit 15 determines whether or not those the received authentication tag 23a and the authentication tag for comparison 23b match with each other. A different key data is used every time upon the authentication-tag generation and use time of each key data during a set period is restricted.

  • Patent number: 8396098
    Abstract: Provided is a high-precision and highly functional digital protective relay device and a data transmission device for a digital protective relay device, by enabling transmission of large amounts of system electrical quantity data. The data transmission device for a digital protective relay device, the transmission device comprising: an analog/digital conversion portion 6, which, after sampling a system electrical quantity signal acquired from an electric power system at m times the fundamental frequency f0 (m>12) thereof, performs conversion into n-bit digital data (n>12); a data processing portion 7, which converts m sampling data of n bits with frequency m·f0, obtained by the analog/digital conversion portion, into k sampling data with frequency k·f0 (k?m) at or below the former frequency; and a transmitting portion 8, which transmits k sampling data obtained by the data processing portion to another protective relay device in a prescribed transmission format.
