  • Publication number: 20190296985
    Abstract: A management device capable of facilitating an operation of analyzing an event that has occurred in a node is provided. A management device is a management device that manages a network that includes one or more nodes that record occurrence of a predetermined event and includes: an event log acquisition unit that acquires event logs that associate occurrence times of the event and information that specifies the event from the nodes; and a network configuration diagram display unit that displays a network configuration diagram indicating a connection relationship of the nodes, and the network configuration diagram display unit displays the node in which the event has occurred to be distinguishable from the node in which the event has not occurred in the network configuration diagram.

  • Patent number: 9311460
    Abstract: A programmable controller system, a tool device, a tool program, a storage medium, and a programmable controller capable of affording greater convenience in terms of preventing unauthorized use of user program running on the programmable controller. In the programmable controller system, the tool device sets up a first user program execution ID in a second non-volatile memory provided in the PLC and sets up a second user program execution ID in a project provided in the tool device. The PLC performs a matching operation to determine whether or not the first user program execution ID matches the second user program execution ID and blocks the execution of the user program if there is a mismatch.

  • Patent number: 7382948
    Abstract: An optical switch comprises a prism for changing the direction of travel of incident light to be directed toward a further optical fiber; a switching mirror placed to be insertable and removable into and from between a lens block and the prism; and an actuator for driving the mirror, in which incident and emitting optical fibers are placed in the same facing, i.e. on one surface side, of the device body. This structure makes it possible for components to be used in common and integrated, and for the coupling surfaces between the lens block and the optical fibers to be gathered together in one place, thereby enabling cost reduction and size reduction.

  • Patent number: 6829404
    Abstract: An optical switch switches the light path between collimate lenses optically coupled to the ends of corresponding optical fibers by the advancing and retracting movements of a prism. The prism comprises an electromagnetic driver having an armature arranged to hold the prism, a coil block for driving the movement of the armature by use of magnetic actions and a leaf spring. The leaf spring mainly includes four parallelly extending spring strips fixedly joined at one end to a body and at another end to the armature to thus spatially hold the armature and the prism for linear movement. The electromagnetic driver and the prism are disposed next to each other along the moving direction of the armature. The armature and the prism can be linearly moved at a right angle to the light path between the lenses when the optical switch is in action. This allows the prism to be linearly moved, and the device can be minimized in overall size.
