Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for managing a parameter of a communication-based master-slave control system, and has an effect of storing and applying parameters of all slave devices in a non-volatile memory in a master device, thereby enabling the slave devices to be set-up in a position where an operator is difficult to access or dangerous by a parameter stored in the master device, thereby simplifying maintenance of the slave devices and ensuring safety of a user.
Claims4
A method for managing a slave parameter, wherein the method is performed by a controller comprising one or more processors and memories, the method comprising:
- receiving parameters for all slave devices from a parameter setting device, wherein all of the slave devices are connected to a master device;
- storing the received parameters together with parameter identifiers (IDs) in a storage consisting of a non-volatile memory, wherein each of the parameter IDs corresponds to a parameter configuration to be applied to a corresponding slave device from among the received parameters;
- requesting state information to the connected slave devices;
- determining a requirement for resetting parameters for a slave device from among the slave devices;
- determining that the slave device is not occupied by another master device;
- and
- transferring the parameters stored in the storage to the slave device,
- wherein the requirement for resetting the parameters for the slave device is determined based on the state information and a comparison of a parameter ID for the parameters to be transmitted to the slave device with a parameter ID stored in the slave device.
A method for managing a parameter of a master-slave system including a master device and one or more slave devices, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the master device, parameters for all slave devices connected to the master device from a parameter setting-up device;
- storing, by the master device, the received parameters together with parameter identifiers (IDs) in a storage, wherein each of the parameter IDs corresponds to a parameter configuration to be applied to a corresponding slave device from among the received parameters;
- requesting, by the master device, state information to the connected slave devices;
- transferring, by the slave devices, the state information to the master device in response to the request;
- determining, by the master device, a requirement for resetting parameters for a slave device from among the slave devices;
- determining, by the master device, that the slave device is not occupied by another master device;
- and
- transferring, by the master device, the parameters stored in the storage to the slave device,
- wherein the requirement for resetting the parameters for the slave device is determined based on the state information and a comparison of a parameter ID for the parameters to be transmitted to the slave device with a parameter ID stored in the slave device.
A device for managing a slave parameter, the device comprising:
- a controller including one or more processors and memories;
- and
- a storage consisting of a non-volatile memory, wherein the controller is configured to:
- receive parameters for all slave devices from a parameter setting device, wherein all of the slave devices are connected to the device,
- store the received parameters together with parameter identifiers (IDs) in the storage, wherein each of the parameter IDs corresponds to a parameter configuration to be applied to a corresponding slave device from among the received parameters,
- request state information to the slave devices connected to the device;
- determine a requirement for resetting parameters for a slave device from among the slave devices;
- determine that the slave device is not occupied by another master device;
- and
- transfer the parameters stored in the storage to the slave device,
- wherein the requirement for resetting the parameters for the slave device is determined based on the state information and a comparison of a parameter ID for the parameters to be transmitted to the slave device with a parameter ID stored in the slave device.
