Abstract
Information is collected from a management target device having a drive unit such as a machine tool, and this collected information is more practically used. An information collection device includes a collection unit that collects, from management target devices having a drive unit, operating state information which is information indicating an operating state of the management target device while operating accompanying movement of the drive unit; and a comparison unit that extracts a plurality of sets of information matching in a predetermined condition from the operating state information thus collected, and outputs a comparison result of the plurality of sets of information thus extracted.
Claims9
An information collection device comprising:
- a memory configured to store a program;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the program and control the information collection device to:
- collect, from a management target device including a drive unit, a signal for performing sequence control which is inputted/outputted in relation to the management target device via a numerical control device controlling driving of the management target device from at least an external device, as operating state information which is information indicating an operating state of the management target device while operating accompanying movement of the drive unit;
- extract, from the operating state information thus collected, a plurality of sets of information which match in a predetermined condition, and output a comparison result of signals for performing the sequence control inputted/outputted to the management target device via the numerical control device from at least the external device as a comparison result of the plurality of sets of information thus extracted.
An information collection method performed by an information collection device, the method comprising the steps of:
- collecting, from a management target device having a drive unit, a signal for performing sequence control which is inputted/outputted in relation to the management target device via a numerical control device controlling driving of the management target device from at least an external device, as operating state information which is information indicating an operating state of the management target device while operating accompanying movement of the drive unit;
- and
- extracting, from the operating state information thus collected, a plurality of sets of information which match in a predetermined condition, and outputting a comparison result of signals for performing the sequence control inputted/outputted to the management target device via the numerical control device from at least the external device, as a comparison result of the plurality of sets of information thus extracted.
