Industrial machine management system, method for managing industrial machine, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

A method for managing an industrial machine that controls a robot that includes motors, comprising:

• collecting changeable setting data of the industrial machine as a backup, the setting data being a robot control program that causes the industrial machine to control the robot;
• determining whether a change has been made to the setting data by comparing the setting data collected as the backup at a first time point with the setting data collected as the back up at a second time point that is after the first time point;
• storing the setting data collected as the backup and state information regarding a state of the industrial machine;
• obtaining, as pre-change information, the stored state information regarding a pre-change state of each of the motors as of the first time prior to the change made to the setting data;
• obtaining, as post-change information, the stored state information regarding a post-change state of each of the motors as of the second time after the change made to the setting data;
• and
• displaying, in a display, the pre-change information and the post-change information, as influence information of each of the motors, the influence information regarding an influence of the change when the change has been made to the setting data,
• wherein the method comprises displaying the influence information, a program code of the robot control program at the first time, and a program code of the robot control program at the second time in a same screen.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method for managing an industrial machine that controls a robot that includes motors, the method comprising:

• collecting changeable setting data of the industrial machine as a backup, the setting data being a robot control program that causes the industrial machine to control the robot;
• determining whether a change has been made to the setting data by comparing the setting data collected as the backup at a first time point with the setting data collected as the back up at a second time point that is after the first time point;
• storing the setting data collected as the backup and state information regarding a state of the industrial machine;
• obtaining, as pre-change information, the stored state information regarding a pre-change state of each of the motors as of the first time prior to the change made to the setting data;
• obtaining, as post-change information, the stored state information regarding a post-change state of each of the motors as of the second time after the change made to the setting data;
• displaying, in a display, the pre-change information and the post-change information, as influence information of each of the motors, the influence information regarding an influence of the change when the change has been made to the setting data,
• wherein the method comprises displaying the influence information, a program code of the robot control program at the first time, and a program code of the robot control program at the second time in a same screen.

An industrial machine management system, comprising:

• an industrial machine that controls a robot that includes motors and a management device, the management device having circuitry configured to:
• collect changeable setting data of the industrial machine as a backup, the setting data being a robot control program that causes the industrial machine to control the robot,
• determine whether a change has been made to the setting data by comparing the setting data collected as the backup at a first time point with the setting data collected as the back up at a second time point that is after the first time point,
• store the setting data collected as the backup and state information regarding a state of the industrial machine,
• obtain, as pre-change information, the stored state information regarding a pre-change state of each of the motors as of the first time prior to the change made to the setting data,
• obtain, as post-change information, the stored state information regarding a post-change state of each of the motors as of the second time after the change made to the setting data, and
• display, in a display, difference information regarding a difference between the pre-change information and the post-change information, as influence information of each of the motors, the influence information regarding an influence of the change when the change has been made to the setting data,
• wherein the circuitry is configured to display the influence information, a program code of the robot control program at the first time, and a program code of the robot control program at the second time in a same screen.
