Abstract
An injection molding machine includes first and second injection units. When it is detected that the first injection unit malfunctions, information that notifies the other injection unit (that is, second injection unit) the fact that the first injection unit is malfunctioning is outputted. The second injection unit that has acquired the malfunction information from the first injection unit carries out a malfunction process based on a preset malfunction process setting corresponding to other-injection-unit malfunction information.
Claims3
An injection molding machine comprising:
- a plurality of injection units;
- and
- a plurality of controllers corresponding to the plurality of injection units,
- wherein each of the plurality of controllers includes
- a malfunction detection section that detects malfunction of the injection unit corresponding to the controller,
- a malfunction information output section that outputs malfunction information corresponding to the type of the malfunction detected by the malfunction detection section, and
- an other-injection-unit malfunction information acquisition section that acquires, as other-injection-unit malfunction information, malfunction information outputted by the malfunction information output section of another controller contained in the plurality of controllers but different from the controller, and
- wherein the other-injection-unit malfunction information acquisition section is configured to carry out a malfunction process for the injection unit based on a preset malfunction process setting corresponding to the other-injection-unit malfunction information when receiving the other-injection-unit malfunction information.

- and
- a plurality of controllers corresponding to the plurality of injection units,
- wherein each of the plurality of controllers includes
- a malfunction detection section that detects malfunction of the injection unit corresponding to the controller,
- a malfunction process information output section that reads malfunction process information corresponding to the type of the malfunction detected by the malfunction detection section from a preset malfunction process setting corresponding to the type of the malfunction, stored in advance, and outputs the read malfunction process information, and
- an other-injection-unit malfunction process information acquisition section that acquires, as other-injection-unit malfunction process information, malfunction process information outputted by the malfunction process information output section of another controller contained in the plurality of controllers but different from the controller, and
- wherein the other-injection-unit malfunction process information acquisition section is configured to carry out a malfunction process for the injection unit based on the other-injection-unit malfunction process information.
