Abstract
A numerical control system includes a computer aided design (CAD) data storage means for storing CAD data, an input/output (I/O) assignment data storage means for storing I/O assignment data, and a relevant information storage means for recording relevant information between the I/O assignment data and mounting information included in CAD data of each of the I/O units, and displays a defect occurrence region on a shape image of a control panel.
Claims5
A numerical control system configured by connecting a numerical controller to a plurality of input/output (I/O) units mounted inside a control panel of a machine tool, the numerical control system comprising:
- a computer aided design (CAD) data storage means for storing CAD data for control panel design, the CAD data storage means including shape information indicating an external shape and an internal structure of the control panel and mounting information indicating at least a location and a direction, an I/O unit inside the control panel being mounted at the location and installed in the direction;
- an I/O assignment data storage means for storing I/O assignment data recording a connection state of the I/O unit;
- a relevant information storage means for recording relevant information between the I/O assignment data and the mounting information of each of the I/O units;
- a fault detection means for detecting a defect occurrence region, a defect of the numerical controller or the I/O unit occurring in the defect occurrence region;
- and
- a display means for preparing display data displaying the defect occurrence region on a shape image of the control panel based on information related to the defect occurrence region, the I/O assignment data, the relevant information, and the CAD data.
