Abstract
To provide a transmission control system that can efficiently utilize communication bandwidth upon transmitting measurement data of machines. A transmission control system includes: a numerical control unit that controls operating of machines and acquires operating information; an A/C conversion unit that acquires behavior information measured by way of a sensor provided to the machine; a priority determination unit that determines priority of transmission in accordance with a condition set in advance, based on types and combinations of the operating information and the behavior information; and a bandwidth control unit that controls allocation of communication bandwidth for transmitting the operating information and the behavior information, based on a usage condition of communication bandwidth and the priority.
Claims3
A transmission control system comprising:
- a machine control device that (i) controls operation of a machine and acquiring operating information, and (ii) acquires behavior information measured using a sensor provided to the machine;
- and
- a transmission control device that (i) determines a priority of transmission in accordance with a condition set in advance, based on types and combinations of the operating information and the behavior information, and (ii) controls allocation of communication bandwidth for transmitting the operating information and the behavior information, based on a usage condition of communication bandwidth and the priority,
- wherein the transmission control device determines the priority based on a sampling period of the operating information and the behavior information such that a priority for real-time data is higher than a priority for data for which changes are slow.
