  • Publication number: 20190029130
    Abstract: A display device includes: a sheet attached to a display panel and a display surface side of a housing; an opening formed on the display surface side of the housing so as to allow access to an interface terminal provided in the housing; and a lid covering the opening. The display panel and the display surface side of the housing are sectioned into a first region to which the sheet is attached and a second region with no sheet attached, with respect to a longitudinal direction of the display panel. The first region is an area including the display panel and part of the housing. The opening is arranged in the second region.

  • Patent number: 10114359
    Abstract: A numerical control device includes a CPU for outputting a position command value of a servomotor; an IC including a servo controller for outputting a current command value to an amplifier for driving the servomotor, and an I/O unit for inputting and outputting an external signal; a DSP for reading the position command value and performing control so as to move the servomotor to a position indicated by the position command value; and an inter-device communication path between the CPU and the IC. The IC includes an internal bus connected to a communication interface connected to the inter-device communication path, and the I/O unit; and an internal communication path for directly transmitting a signal between the servo controller and the I/O unit without passing through the internal bus.

  • Patent number: 9806878
    Abstract: In a control system, a controller and a plurality of input/output units are daisy-chained, and each of the input/output units detects a phase difference between a phase of received serial data and a phase of a reference clock, outputs a determination signal if the phase difference exceeds a threshold value, and records the output frequency of the determination signals. The controller acquires the frequency of the determination signals recorded by each of the input/output unit and specifies a noise mixture route based on the acquired frequency of the determination signals.

  • Publication number: 20160349307
    Abstract: An electronic component having a plurality of terminals arranged on a bottom side of a package and mounted on a printed wiring board includes at least one detection terminal as a portion of the plurality of terminals, the detection terminal being connected to a ground outside the electronic component, wherein the detection terminal is connected to an input port of an input buffer and one end of a resistor inside the electronic component, the other end of the resistor is connected to a power supply, and the input buffer detects a poor connection of a solder joint or a socket by outputting a first binary signal obtained by binarizing a voltage level input into the input buffer using a predetermined threshold.
