Patent number: 10530687Abstract: A path information generating device includes: a label information storage unit that stores label information indicating correspondence relations between label names and control devices; a system configuration information storage unit that stores system configuration information indicating correspondence relations between the control devices and networks connected to the control devices; and a path information generating unit that generates path information indicating a path from an access source control device to a first control device based on the system configuration information, and outputs the generated path information. The path information generating unit receives a first label name for designating an access destination, identifies the first control device corresponding to the first label name based on the label information, and sets the first control device as an access destination control device.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2017Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventor: Yuzuru Tone

Patent number: 9792000Abstract: A system construction assistance apparatus includes a first display screen, a second display screen, and a processing section displaying units each belonging to one of categories on the first display screen such that the units are sorted by category, receiving a first input to select one unit from the units displayed on the first display screen, generating a system configuration diagram on the basis of the received first input, and displaying the generated system configuration diagram on the second display screen. After a first input is newly received and before a next first input is received, the processing section predicts a category to which a unit to be selected by the next first input belongs on the basis of first inputs received in a past and presents the predicted category as a candidate category to a user.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2014Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Yuzuru Tone, Masaru Nagashima, Takayuki Amano

Patent number: 8499277Abstract: A shared-label extracting unit extracts a shared label to be associated with a device corresponding to a memory shared by a plurality of control devices. A shared-label write/read information generating unit identifies a control device writing data and a control device reading data with respect to the shared label by referring to a control program, and generates shared-label write/read information. A device batch assigning/associating unit sorts shared labels using the shared-label write/read information, and associates the shared label with an address of the device for each sort based on a result of determining a configuration of the control system.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2006Date of Patent: July 30, 2013Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Yuzuru Tone, Satoru Nakai, Masayuki Ueno, Tetsuji Honnami
