Abstract

A parameter setting support device is provided with a parameter setting interface unit configured to display an input screen for setting a parameter of a function of a numerical controller and accept the setting of the value of the parameter of the function to be set, a related parameter identification unit configured to identify a related function related to the parameter of the settable function, based on the relationship between the parameter and each function of the numerical controller, and a setting range identification unit configured to identify a setting range of the parameter of the related function by calculating a conditional expression predetermined for the setting range of the parameter of the related function. The parameter setting interface unit displays the setting range of the parameter of the related function identified by the setting range identification unit.

Dependent claims

A parameter setting support device for a numerical controller configured to control a machine tool, the parameter setting support device comprising:

a display;
and
a processor configured to
cause the display to display an input screen for setting a parameter of a function of the numerical controller,
accept, via the input screen, a value of the parameter of the function,
identify a related function of the numerical controller, wherein the related function is related to the parameter of the function, and wherein a value of the identified related function is set based on a relationship between the parameter of the function and the related function of the numerical controller, and
identify a setting range of a parameter of the identified related function by calculating a predetermined conditional expression for the setting range of the parameter of the identified related function,
wherein the processor is configured to cause the display to display the setting range of the parameter of the identified related function, and
the numerical controller is configured to use the setting range of the parameter of the identified related function to control the machine tool.
