Kentaro Togano has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10175673
    Abstract: A programmable controller system includes a control device; a functional device including a buffer memory and a general-purpose logic unit; and a peripheral device that creates a user program. The peripheral device includes a circuit setting unit, which sets operation data indicating the operation of a logic of the general-purpose logic unit; and a circuit-control-parameter setting unit, which sets a circuit control parameter representing the relation between a buffer memory address indicating an address in the buffer memory and a logic address indicating an address in the logic. The functional device includes a circuit control unit that transfers the operation data to the logic address on the basis of the specified buffer memory address and the circuit control parameter.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8775703
    Abstract: A D/A conversion device includes a waveform-data-string storage area that stores therein a waveform data string including a plurality of digital values, a waveform-output-control-data storage area in which operation-mode specifying data and update request data are written, a digital-value output unit that, when the operation-mode specifying data specifies an automatic control mode, while sequentially updating an address to be read in the waveform-data-string storage area for each output period set in advance, sequentially reads and outputs a digital value and that, when the operation-mode specifying data specifies a step execution mode or an output-address change mode, while updating the address to be read at a timing when the update request data is written, reads and outputs the digital value, and a D/A conversion unit that converts the digital value output from the digital-value output unit into an analog value.
