Abstract: Example embodiments relate to a network-based workflow system, employed for receiving workflows, defining one or more data-object types based on the workflows, generating data-objects, assigning a workflow from among the one or more workflows to the data-object, and managing the data-object through various states of based on the workflow. As discussed, a “workflow” refers to orchestrated and repeatable patterns enabled by a systematic organization of resources into processes that transform and modify presentations of data-objects based on corresponding data-object states. A workflow may therefore comprise a set of states, wherein each state is linked to another state by one or more transitions, and wherein the transitions are associated with a set of events which may occur at each state.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention concerns a control command for a machine tool, and is to make it possible to adopt a high-frequency repetitive oscillation command, without restrictions on communication capacity, when acquiring a control command created by superimposing a command with repeatability on a normal move command such as a move command having no repeatability. The purpose can be achieved by: acquiring, from an higher-order control device, only information about the form of a command, and parameter information on numerical information relating to an amplitude, a period, and other feature amount; creating a repetitive movement command that is a command with repeatability only from the parameter information; and superimposing the repetitive movement command on a normal move command such as a move command having no repeatability.

Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to make it possible to also handle cases in a control device for a machine tool in which the waveform of a repeatable command superimposed on a normal movement command has a free shape that cannot be expressed only by a feature amount when obtaining a control command in which the repeatable command is superimposed on the normal movement command as a control command of the control device. The abovementioned objective is achieved by providing a servo control device with: a repeatable command creation unit that acquires the period of a repeatable command waveform and one period of command data from a higher-level control device, creates a repeatable command, and outputs the result; and a command superimposing unit that acquires a movement command from the higher-level control device and superimposes the repeatable command output by the repeatable command creation unit on the movement command.

Abstract: A differential logger stores, into a log storage from a device memory, a differential log being a log of a device value that has changed at each execution of a control program. A collective logger collectively stores, at a set time, collection target device values into the log storage as reference data to be used to collect the differential log. A split logger acquires as split logs, after the set time, logs of the device values multiple times, and stores the split logs into the reference data storage. The differential logger overwrites data in the log storage with the differential log after new reference data is stored into the log storage.
