Equipment selection device, equipment selection processing program, and equipment selection processing

A computer readable medium having stored thereon a program that when executed by a computer causes the computer having circuitry to execute an equipment selection method for selecting peripheral equipment including servo motors and motor control devices in a multi-axis drive system in which a plurality of driven mechanisms operate in conjunction with each other based on driving forces of the servo motors, the equipment selection method comprising:

• receiving, for each operation axis, a selection of a speed pattern from a plurality of available speed patterns;
• receiving, for each operation axis, a selection of a driven mechanism from a plurality of available driven mechanisms that are determined in advance;
• extracting, using the circuitry, for each operation axis, in response to receiving the selection of the driven mechanism, and from a plurality of servo motors and a plurality of motor control devices that are determined in advance, at least one servo motor and at least one motor control device that match variation of a load mass borne by the selected driven mechanism when operating in conjunction with other driven mechanisms and that match the selected speed pattern;
• generating, using the circuitry, a list from the extracted at least one servo motor and at least one motor control device;
• displaying the list including the at least one servo motor and the at least one motor control device;
• and
• receiving selection from the list of a servo motor and a motor control device.
