Abstract
To provide a control panel for machine tools that improves operability and enables even an unskilled person to easily grasp a procedure for moving a screen to a target screen. A plurality of screen data are classified into a plurality of groups and classified into main screen data and sub-screen data associated with the main screen data in each of the groups. A control section displays the main screen data and displays the sub-screen data on a display section according to a type of an input to a plurality of main screen corresponding buttons.

A control panel for machine tools comprising:
- a screen-data storing section configured to store a plurality of screen data including operation buttons and for displaying machine data of a machine tool;
- a display section configured to display at least one of the plurality of screen data;
- an input section configured to receive an input to the operations buttons of the screen data displayed on the display section;
- and
- a control section configured to change, on the basis of the input to the operation buttons displayed on the display section, the screen data displayed on the display section, wherein
- the plurality of screen data are classified into a plurality of groups and classified into main screen data and sub-screen data associated with the main screen data in each of the groups,
- the screen-data storing section further stores list display data in which the sub-screen data in the groups are displayed as a list,
- all of the plurality of screen data include, in a constant display region, as the operation buttons, a plurality of main screen corresponding buttons associated with the respective image screen data, and
- when receiving a first input on one of the plurality of main screen corresponding buttons, the control section displays the main screen data corresponding to the main screen corresponding button on the display section,
- when receiving a second input different from the first input on one of the plurality of main screen corresponding buttons, the control section displays the list display data of the sub-screen data related to the main screen data corresponding to the main screen corresponding button on the display section, and
- when receiving input to the list display data, the control section displays the sub-screen data corresponding to the list display data on the display section.
