  • Patent number: 11966218
    Abstract: A diagnosis device (10) includes an acquirer (101) and a diagnoser (140). The acquirer (101) acquires a series of input values as an input signal to be diagnosed as to presence or absence of abnormality. The diagnoser (140) diagnoses the presence or absence of the abnormality from (i) a first index value indicating a distance between an input vector and a predetermined first reference vector, the input vector having components that are the input values of the series acquired by the acquirer (101), and (ii) a second index value indicating an angle between the input vector and a predetermined second reference vector.

  • Patent number: 11782395
    Abstract: A diagnostic device (10) includes an acquirer (101) and a diagnoser (140). The acquirer (101) acquires a plurality of input signals including a target signal to be diagnosed for abnormality. The diagnoser (140) diagnoses, using a first index value relating to the target signal and a second index value relating to the plurality of input signals based on a correlation between the plurality of input signals, whether an abnormality occurs. The first index value indicates a degree of similarity of a waveform of the target signal to a predetermined reference waveform. The second index value is a value that is based on comparison between the target signal and a predetermined pattern and is calculated from values of the plurality of input signals.

  • Patent number: 11042786
    Abstract: An index outputter (120) of a learning processor (100) outputs an index for selection of an analysis procedure based on attributes of an analysis target. The attributes to be inputted include features of the analysis target itself and features of the environment surrounding the analysis target. The analysis procedure selector (170) selects an analysis procedure among analysis procedures as an analysis procedure for which diagnosis target data to be outputted by the analysis target is to be analyzed.

    Abstract: A device and method allowing input/output processing of a plurality of data to be processed in parallel at each I/O device of a PLC. An operation data extraction unit of each I/O device inputs a received different station's input of one of the other I/O devices and a received different station's output of one of the other I/O devices, and also inputs an own station's input and an own station's output. The operation data extraction unit extracts operation data from each of the own station's input and output, and the different station's input and output, according to parameters (which specify a selected type, a data position, a selected station number, and an own station number) stored in a parameter unit. An operation unit executes a plurality of operation processing in parallel by using the operation data extracted by the operation data extraction unit and according to operation processing.
