Abstract
Accurate wiring work shall be efficiently performed when a module group included in a control system for an industrial machine is installed. An installation support apparatus includes an image information acquisition part configured to acquire a camera image of a module included in a control system for an industrial machine, a design information acquisition part configured to specify the module on the basis of the camera image, and acquire design information relevant to wiring of the module, and a projection information processing part configured to generate a projection image based on the design information, allowing to be projected onto a position corresponding to the camera image.
Claims6
An installation support apparatus comprising:
- an image information acquisition part configured to acquire a camera image of a module included in a control system for an industrial machine;
- a design information acquisition part configured to specify the module on a basis of the camera image, and acquire design information relevant to wiring of the module;
- a projection information processing part configured to generate a projection image based on the design information, the projection image allowing to be projected onto a position corresponding to the camera image;
- and
- a discrimination command part configured to, in order to discriminate a group including the specified module from other groups in a same type, command operation of each of indicators respectively included in a plurality of groups to a control device,
- wherein the discrimination command part commands, to the control device, such that the indicators perform different operations in accordance with an order in which the plurality of groups are actually connected, the order starting from the control device,
- wherein the indicators perform the different operations based on an order in which the indicators receive commands that the control device transfers in accordance with the order in which the plurality of groups are actually connected, and
- wherein each indicator includes (i) a first blinking cycle of a light emitting diode corresponding to the group including the specified module and (ii) a second blinking cycle of a light emitting diode corresponding to the other groups, the second blinking cycle being different from the first blinking cycle.
