  • Publication number: 20220355522
    Abstract: An injection molding machine management system SYS according to an embodiment includes an injection molding machine and a management device provided outside the injection molding machine and that monitors an abnormality in the injection molding machine, in which in a case where an abnormality occurs in the injection molding machine, the management device automatically reboots the injection molding machine in a safe mode having a more limited function than a normal boot mode. In addition, an injection molding machine according to another embodiment includes a CPU and an FPGA that monitors an abnormality in a predetermined software executed by the CPU, in which in a case where an abnormality occurs in a system software executed by the CPU, the FPGA automatically reboots the system software of the CPU in a safe mode having a more limited function than the normal boot mode.
