Abstract
A parameter setting device sets parameters for driving a machine in which a numerical controller is incorporated. The parameter setting device uses a machine configuration file in which information is described pertaining to the configuration of the machine. Furthermore, the parameter setting device is equipped with a parameter generating unit for generating parameters based on the machine configuration file, and a parameter setting unit for setting the generated parameters in the numerical controller.
Claims13
