  • Patent number: 10976719
    Abstract: A parameter setting support device is provided with a parameter setting interface unit configured to display an input screen for setting a parameter of a function of a numerical controller and accept the setting of the value of the parameter of the function to be set, a related parameter identification unit configured to identify a related function related to the parameter of the settable function, based on the relationship between the parameter and each function of the numerical controller, and a setting range identification unit configured to identify a setting range of the parameter of the related function by calculating a conditional expression predetermined for the setting range of the parameter of the related function. The parameter setting interface unit displays the setting range of the parameter of the related function identified by the setting range identification unit.

  • Patent number: 10048678
    Abstract: A numerical controller for controlling a machine tool for machining a work on the basis of an NC program for execution including a variable includes NC program reading unit, NC program analyzing unit, and a variable value table sequentially holding a variable value assigned to a variable at time of execution of a predetermined unit of program read by the NC program reading unit, and the NC program analyzing unit includes a character string for variable-check creating unit for replacing a character string included in an instruction affected by the variable in the predetermined unit of program with a character string for variable-check on the basis of the predetermined unit of the program read by the NC program reading unit and the variable value obtained from the variable value table and an NC program for variable-check writing unit.

  • Publication number: 20050143840
    Abstract: A controller managing system that enables a computer of a managing device to efficiently perform communication processing with a plurality of controllers. These controllers are connected via a network. to the monitoring computer of the managing device. The monitoring computer performs a power status determination task and a monitoring task. Each controller transmits power-ON information representing a power ON state to the monitoring computer at prescribed intervals. When the power status determination task cannot receive the power-ON information within a predetermined time period from either one of the controllers, it is determined that the power supply to that controller is OFF. The monitoring task skips the controller that is determined as being in a power OFF state; so as not to receive data therefrom, and communicates with the next controller that is in a power ON state.
