Controller of injection molding machine, injection molding machine, and program

An injection molding machine comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• store, in a process correspondence information storage part, information on items,
• at least one of the items being preliminarily associated with at least two of a plurality of different processes that are performed for injection molding in order, at least one of the items that are preliminarily associated with one of the at least two of the plurality of different processes being different from at least one of the items that are preliminarily associated with another one of the at least two of the plurality of different processes, said information on the item being displayed when one of the process corresponding to the item of the plurality of the different processes is selected, said information on the item indicating either setting information indicative of a setting of the process corresponding to the item or a performance value detected in the process corresponding to the item;
• wherein the items include:
• a first item to be displayed when displaying a first process of the plurality of different processes is stored in association with the first process before receiving an operation to display the first process, and
• a second item to be displayed when displaying a second process of the plurality of different processes is stored in association with the second process before receiving an operation to display the second process, said first item being different from the second item, and
• wherein, when an operation to display the first process is received, the processor displays the first item for the first process, and when an operation to display the second process is received, the processor displays the second item for the second process;
• receive, after storing the information on the items in the process correspondence information storage part, a selection of the one of the first process and the second process;
• and
• output display information that graphically represents changes in the setting information based on the item preliminarily associated with the process for which the selection was received when the processor receives the selection of the process, or display information that graphically represents changes in the performance value based on the item preliminarily associated with the process for which the selection was received when the processor receives the selection of the process,
• wherein each of the first process and the second process that is performed for injection molding is one of measuring process, mold closing process, pressure-boosting process, clamping process, filling process, pressure-holding process, cooling process, depressurization process, mold opening process, or ejection process.

A recording medium configured to record a program for a computer to execute a process, comprising:

• storing, in a process correspondence information storage part, information on items,
• at least one of the items being preliminarily associated with at least two of a plurality of different processes that are performed for injection molding in order, at least one of the items that are preliminarily associated with one of the at least two of the plurality of different processes being different from at least one of the items that are preliminarily associated with another one of the at least two of the plurality of different processes, said information on the item being displayed when one of the process corresponding to the item of the plurality of the different processes is selected, said information on the item indicating either setting information indicative of a setting of the process corresponding to the item or a performance value detected in the process corresponding to the item;
• wherein the items include:
• a first item to be displayed when displaying a first process of the plurality of different processes is stored in association with the first process before receiving an operation to display the first process, and
• a second item to be displayed when displaying a second process of the plurality of different processes is stored in association with the second process before receiving an operation to display the second process, said first item being different from the second item, and
• wherein, when an operation to display the first process is received, the processor displays the first item for the first process, and when an operation to display the second process is received, the processor displays the second item for the second process;
• receiving, after storing the information on the items in the process correspondence information storage part, a selection of the one of the first process and the second process;
• and
• outputting display information that graphically represents changes in the setting information based on the item preliminarily associated with the process for which the selection was received when the processor receives the selection of the process, or display information that graphically represents changes in the performance value based on the item preliminarily associated with the process for which the selection was received when the processor receives the selection of the process,
• wherein each of the first process and the second process that is performed for injection molding is one of measuring process, mold closing process, pressure-boosting process, clamping process, filling process, pressure-holding process, cooling process, depressurization process, mold opening process, or ejection process.
