Driving device

A control method of a controller in a driving device, the driving device including the controller, a plurality of servo-motors connected to the controller through a common signal line, and provided with a first storage section storing each different identification information, an identification information generation unit that causes a random value to be created, and generates the created random value as the identification information, a first storage controller that stores the identification information created by the identification information generation unit in the first storage section, a second transmission unit that transmits the identification information created by the identification information generation unit to the controller through the common signal line, and a driving controller operating the servo-motor in a case where identification information transmitted by the controller to the common signal line matches the identification information stored in the first storage section, and a plurality of drive sections driven by the servo-motors, respectively, the control method comprising:

• performing first transmission to transmit identification information designating one servo-motor from among the servo-motors to the common signal line;
• performing operation detection to detect an operation aspect of the driving device that is caused by a movement of the drive section driven by the servo-motor, among the servo-motors, which is operated by the drive controller based on the identification information transmitted by the first transmission to the common signal line;
• and
• performing correspondence information generation to create correspondence information indicating which servo-motor among the servo-motors the identification information transmitted by the first transmission corresponds to, based on the operation aspect detected by the operation detection.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a program for a controller in a driving device, the driving device including the controller, a plurality of servo-motors connected to the controller through a common signal line, and provided with a first storage section storing each different identification information, an identification information generation unit that causes a random value to be created, and generates the created random value as the identification information, a first storage controller that stores the identification information created by the identification information generation unit in the first storage section, a second transmission unit that transmits the identification information created by the identification information generation unit to the controller through the common signal line, and a driving controller operating the servo-motor in a case where identification information transmitted by the controller to the common signal line matches the identification information stored in the first storage section, and a plurality of drive sections driven by the servo-motors, respectively, the program causing the controller to function as:

• a first transmission unit that transmits identification information designating one servo-motor from among the servo-motors to the common signal line;
• an operation detection unit that detects an operation aspect of the driving device that is caused by a movement of the drive section driven by the servo-motor, among the servo-motors, which is operated by the drive controller based on the identification information transmitted by the first transmission unit to the common signal line;
• and
• a correspondence information generation unit that creates correspondence information indicating which servo-motor among the servo-motors the identification information transmitted by the first transmission unit corresponds to, based on the operation aspect detected by the operation detection unit.
