Abstract
Operation of an NC device can be restricted during the time until processing requested by a transmitting side is completed by a receiving side. An information processing device communicatively connected to a controller of an industrial machine including a processing request transmission unit that transmits a processing request to the controller; a processing completion notification management unit that detects a processing completion notification, transmitted from the controller, which notifies of completion of processing according to the processing request; and an operation restriction control unit that restricts processing request operation of the controller for a next operation until the processing completion notification is detected by the processing completion notification management unit.
Claims10
An information processing device communicatively connected to a controller of an industrial machine, comprising:
- a processing request transmission unit that transmits a processing request to the controller to make the controller to process a requested operation, wherein the requested operation modifies a setting or an operation of the industrial machine;
- a processing completion notification management unit that manages the reception/non-reception of a processing completion notification, transmitted from the controller, which is a receiving side of the processing request from the information processing device and notifies of completion of processing of the setting or operation of the industrial machine according to the processing request;
- an operation restriction control unit that restricts processing request to make the controller to process a next operation of the controller from the transmission of the processing request to the controller until the processing completion notification management unit detects reception of the processing completion notification from the controller that is the receiving side of the processing request.
A controller of an industrial machine communicatively connected to an information processing device, comprising:
- a processing request transmission unit that transmits a processing request to the information processing device to make the information processing device to process the requested operation, wherein the requested operation displays data values related to the operation of the industrial machine;
- a processing completion notification management unit that manages the reception/non-reception of a processing completion notification, transmitted from the information processing device, which is a receiving side of the processing request from the controller and notifies of completion of processing of the displaying the data values related to the operation of the industrial machine according to the processing request;
- and
- an operation restriction control unit that restricts a next operation of the controller until the processing completion notification management unit detects reception of the processing completion notification from the information processing device that is the receiving side of the processing request.
