Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a recording medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] There are systems and data collection apparatuses that perform processing related to settings of a plurality of sensors (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

[0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2023-78523

[0004] Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2022-939

[0005] In the system of Patent Document 1, a UI section in a PC or the like collectively displays parameters to be written to a plurality of sensors in a manner that enables them to be edited together when generating a setting file. A user generates the setting file while observing the displayed information and operating the UI section. Furthermore, by cooperation of the PC or the like and a smartphone or the like, writing of the parameters to the plurality of sensors is collectively performed.

[0006] In addition, in the PC or the like, parameters set to the plurality of sensors before the parameters are written are not displayed. In addition, a process of causing the smartphone to approach the sensors to read out the parameters is described, but this process needs to be performed for each sensor, and takes time. Therefore, for example, in order to determine, from the plurality of sensors, a sensor whose parameters set before writing are different from the parameters of the setting file, a lot of time is taken.

[0007] In the data collection apparatus of Patent Document 2, a connection structure of a main unit and a plurality of remote units is displayed in a remote display area of a display screen, and a schematic structure diagram that represents the connection structure recognized in the main unit is displayed in a connection structure display area. However, the display of the settings of the sensors is not specifically disclosed. SUMMARY

[0008] Therefore, an object of the present disclosure is to provide an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a recording medium having an information processing program recorded therein, which can reduce the time taken for confirmation of settings and appropriate settings of a plurality of sensor amplifiers.

[0009] An information processing device according to one embodiment of the present invention communicates with a plurality of sensor amplifiers integrated into one body via a communication unit, wherein the information processing device comprises: a communication unit that obtains status values ​​of a plurality of sensor amplifiers and a first setting value regarding a setting item from the plurality of sensor amplifiers; a first obtaining unit that obtains a second setting value from a first file in which the second setting value regarding the setting item for the plurality of sensor amplifiers is written; a second obtaining unit that obtains selection information indicating a selected sensor amplifier selected from the plurality of sensor amplifiers; and a display control unit that controls the display of an image based on the status value, the first setting value, the second setting value, and the selection information, the image comprising: a first display area that displays the combination status of the plurality of sensor amplifiers and the content of the selection information; a second display area that displays the first setting value of the selected sensor amplifier; and a third display area that displays the second setting value of the selected sensor amplifier.

[0010] According to this method, the user can easily identify whether the current first setting value of the selected sensor amplifier differs from the second setting value of the selected sensor amplifier written to the first file by viewing a single image. Furthermore, by selecting another sensor amplifier from among multiple sensor amplifiers, the first and second setting values ​​displayed in the image can be changed to the setting values ​​of the other sensor amplifier. In other words, the user can easily identify the sensor amplifier from among multiple sensor amplifiers for which the first setting value should be rewritten to the second setting value, or vice versa. This reduces the time required to confirm the settings of multiple sensor amplifiers and to set them appropriately.

[0011] In the above aspect, the display control unit may perform control such that, when the first setting value and the second setting value are different, a first icon added to at least one of the first setting value and the second setting value is displayed.

[0012] According to this aspect, the user can easily find the setting item whose first setting value is different from the second setting value by using the first icon as a mark.

[0013] In the above aspect, the display control unit may control to arrange and display the plurality of sensor amplifier icons corresponding to the plurality of sensor amplifiers in the first display area in the order in which the plurality of sensor amplifiers are connected.

[0014] According to this aspect, the connection order of the plurality of sensor amplifiers can be easily recognized based on the arrangement order of the plurality of sensor amplifier icons.

[0015] In the above-described aspect, the display control section can perform control to display the second icon attached to the sensor amplifier icon corresponding to the inconsistent sensor amplifier, in a case where the inconsistent sensor amplifier exists among the plurality of sensor amplifiers, the inconsistent sensor amplifier having a set item for which the first set value and the second set value are different.

[0016] According to this aspect, the user can easily find the inconsistent sensor amplifier as a marker using the second icon.

[0017] In the above-described aspect, the display control section can perform control to display the sensor amplifier icon corresponding to the selected sensor amplifier in a display manner different from the display manner of the other sensor amplifier icons.

[0018] According to this aspect, the user can easily find the sensor amplifier icon corresponding to the selected sensor amplifier as a marker using the sensor amplifier icon displayed in a display manner different from the display manner of the other sensor amplifier icons.

[0019] In the above-described aspect, the display control section can perform control to display an image further including a first operation object for rewriting the first set value of the selected sensor amplifier to the second set value of the selected sensor amplifier.

[0020] According to this aspect, the user can be provided with the job of rewriting the first set value of the selected sensor amplifier to the second set value of the selected sensor amplifier as a simple operation of operating the first operation object.

[0021] In the above-described aspect, the display control section can perform control to display an image further including a second operation object for rewriting the second set value of the selected sensor amplifier to the first set value of the selected sensor amplifier.

[0022] According to this aspect, the user can be provided with the job of rewriting the second set value of the selected sensor amplifier to the first set value of the selected sensor amplifier as a simple operation of operating the second operation object.

[0023] In the above-described aspect, the display control section can perform control to display an image further including a third operation object for rewriting the first set value of the selected sensor amplifier to the first set value of the other sensor amplifier, and perform control to display a plurality of sensor amplifier icons corresponding to a plurality of sensor amplifiers, respectively, the plurality of sensor amplifier icons being attached with a fourth operation object for selecting the other sensor amplifier, when the third operation object is operated.

[0024] According to this mode, the user can be provided with the operation of rewriting the first setting value of the other sensor amplifier by selecting the sensor amplifier as an easy operation of operating the third operation object. Also, the user can be provided with the operation of selecting the other sensor amplifier as an easy operation of operating the fourth operation object.

[0025] The information processing program recorded on the recording medium of one embodiment of the present application is an information processing program used in an information processing apparatus that communicates with a plurality of sensor amplifiers integrated via a communication unit, in which the program functions to cause a computer to function as: a communication section that acquires a state value of the plurality of sensor amplifiers and a first setting value with respect to a setting item from the plurality of sensor amplifiers; a first acquisition section that acquires a second setting value with respect to the setting item of the plurality of sensor amplifiers from a first file in which the second setting value is written; a second acquisition section that acquires selection information indicating a selection of one selected sensor amplifier from the plurality of sensor amplifiers; and a display control section that performs control to display an image based on the state value, the first setting value, the second setting value, and the selection information, the image including: a first display region that displays a combination state of the plurality of sensor amplifiers and a content of the selection information; a second display region that displays the first setting value of the selected sensor amplifier; and a third display region that displays the second setting value of the selected sensor amplifier.

[0026] According to this mode, the user can easily recognize whether the current first setting value of the selected sensor amplifier is different from the second setting value of the selected sensor amplifier written to the first file by observing one image. Also, by selecting the other sensor amplifier from the plurality of sensor amplifiers, the first setting value and the second setting value displayed on the image can be changed to the setting values of the other sensor amplifier. That is, the user can easily determine the sensor amplifier that should be the object of rewriting the first setting value to the second setting value or rewriting the second setting value to the first setting value from the plurality of sensor amplifiers. Thus, the man-hours required for the setting confirmation and appropriate setting of the plurality of sensor amplifiers can be reduced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] A preferred embodiment of the present application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings (Note that, in each drawing, portions marked with the same reference numerals have the same or similar structures.).

[0047] [1st Embodiment]

[0048] Figure 1 is a diagram showing an outline of the sensor system 301 of the 1st embodiment. As shown in Figure 1 , the sensor system 301 has a user terminal 310, a communication unit 320, and sensor units 330a to 330p. Hereinafter, the sensor units 330a to 330p will be sometimes referred to as sensor units 330, respectively.

[0049] In the present embodiment, a configuration in which the sensor system 301 has 16 sensor units 330 is described, but the sensor system 301 can have a configuration in which the number of sensor units 330 is 1 or more and 15 or less or 17 or more.

[0050] The sensor unit 330 includes a sensor amplifier 331 and a sensor head 332. The sensor amplifiers 331a to 331p included in the sensor units 330a to 330p, respectively, are examples of the sensor amplifier 331. In addition, the sensor heads 332a to 332p included in the sensor units 330a to 330p, respectively, are examples of the sensor head 332.

[0051] The sensor system 301 is, for example, a state monitoring system that monitors the state of a manufacturing apparatus such as a robot that manufactures semiconductors, electronic parts, secondary batteries, and the like, and a workpiece and the like. Specifically, the sensor system 301 is used for detection of a robot and a workpiece and the like as an object, and for measurement of a physical quantity that measures the position and size thereof.

[0052] The user terminal 310 is, for example, a personal computer (PC). The user terminal 310 acquires, via the communication unit 320, detection information detected by the sensor unit 330 and a measured value and the like measured thereby, and analyzes and displays these data in accordance with a user operation and the like. Thereby, the user can confirm the state of the manufacturing apparatus and the workpiece and the like.

[0053] The communication unit 320 is connected to the user terminal 310 via a network such as a LAN (Local Area Network), and transmits data received from the sensor unit 330 to the user terminal 310. In addition, the communication unit 320 transmits data received from the user terminal 310 to the sensor unit 330.

[0054] The communication unit 320 can store data received from the sensor unit 330 or the user terminal 310 in a memory and / or transmit the data to the user terminal 310 or the sensor unit 330 after processing, respectively.

[0055] Each sensor amplifier 331 is connected to the communication unit 320, and is configured to be capable of transmitting and receiving data with the communication unit 320.

[0056] The sensor head 332 is, for example, an optical displacement sensor that projects light on an object, and detects the object based on the amount of light received by the reflected light, and measures the position / size thereof. The sensor amplifier 331 controls the timing of projecting and receiving light with respect to the sensor head 332, and receives data including detection information and measurement information and the like from the sensor head 332. In addition, the sensor amplifier 331 transmits these data to the communication unit 320. In addition, the sensor amplifier 331 is configured to be capable of transmitting and receiving data among the sensor amplifiers 331, and further, is configured to be capable of transmitting and receiving data (for example, actual set values and the like described later) with the user terminal 310 via the communication unit 320.

[0057] In addition, in the present embodiment, a configuration in which the sensor head 332 is an optical displacement sensor is described, but is not limited thereto. The sensor head 332 can be, for example, a contact sensor, a length sensor, a proximity sensor, a voltage sensor, a current sensor, a color sensor, a flow sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a fiber sensor, a TOF sensor, and the like.

[0058] In addition, the communication unit 320 and each of the sensor amplifiers 331 can also be connected via a bus signal line, and signals can be transmitted and received using serial communication.

[0059] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the communication unit 320 is configured to transmit data from each of the sensor amplifiers 331 to the user terminal 310, but is not limited thereto, and can transmit data to the user terminal 310 via a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), for example, or can transmit data to a PLC separately from the user terminal 310.

[0060] Each of the sensor amplifiers 331 in each of the sensor units 330 is connected in a row. In detail, the sensor amplifier 331a connected adjacent to the communication unit 320 is a parent sensor amplifier. The sensor amplifiers 331b to 331p are child sensor amplifiers, and are connected in a row together with the sensor amplifier 331a.

[0061] Each of the sensor amplifiers 331 recognizes inherent identification information. In the present embodiment, each of the sensor amplifiers 331 recognizes a channel number corresponding to the order of connection as the inherent identification information. Specifically, the sensor amplifiers 331a to 331p recognize CH-1 (1st channel) to CH-16 (16th channel) as the channel numbers, respectively.

[0062] The channel numbers can be pre-set in each of the sensor amplifiers 331, for example. In addition, each of a plurality of sensor amplifiers 331 connected when the sensor system 301 is activated can recognize the channel numbers and assign the channel numbers to themselves by communicating with each other.

[0063] Figure 2 is a diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of the user terminal 310 of the first embodiment. As shown in Figure 2 The user terminal 310 has an information processing apparatus 101 and a display apparatus 102. The information processing apparatus 101 includes a processing section 51, a memory 52, a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) 53, a communication section 54, a storage section 55, and a reception section 56.

[0064] In the information processing apparatus 101, the processing section 51, the memory 52, the GPU 53, the communication section 54, the storage section 55, and the reception section 56 are connected via a bus 50 in a manner that enables data transmission and reception therebetween.

[0065] In the present embodiment, the storage section 55 is a non-volatile storage device such as a HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or a SSD (Solid State Drive) that can read and write, and holds a program (code). In addition, the storage section 55 is not limited to a HDD and a SSD, and can be a memory card or a read-only CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read Only Memory) or a DVD-ROM (Digital Versatile Disc-Read Only Memory), and the like. In addition, the program can be installed from the outside. In addition, the program is circulated in a state of being held in a storage medium such as a memory card, a CD-ROM, or a DVD-ROM that can be read by the information processing apparatus 101. Furthermore, the program can also be circulated on the Internet connected via a communication interface.

[0066] The memory 52 is a volatile storage device such as a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory). The reception section 56 is, for example, a pointing device or a joystick. The reception section 56 detects an operation of a user and outputs data indicating a detection result to the processing section 51.

[0067] The communication section 54 communicates with the plurality of sensor amplifiers 331 integrated with the communication unit 320. Specifically, the communication section 54 is, for example, a communication interface (I / F) and performs transmission and reception of various data with the communication unit 320. The communication can be performed by any one of wired and wireless, and any communication protocol can be used as long as communication with each other can be performed. The communication section 54 transmits various data to the communication unit 320 according to an instruction from the processing section 51. In addition, the communication section 54 receives various data transmitted from the communication unit 320 and outputs the received data to the processing section 51.

[0068] The processing section 51 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and transfers a program held in the storage section 55 and data necessary for execution of the program to the memory 52 at the time of execution of the program. The processing section 51 reads out a processing command and data necessary for execution of the program from the memory 52 and performs an arithmetic processing according to the content of the processing command. At this time, the processing section 51 sometimes newly generates data necessary for execution of the program and holds it in the memory 52. In addition, the processing section 51 is not limited to a structure in which the program and the data are acquired from the storage section 55, and can be a structure in which the program and the data are acquired from a server or the like via the Internet.

[0069] The processing section 51 generates image information required for video display, and outputs the image information to the GPU 53. The GPU 53 receives the image information from the processing section 51, performs rendering or the like based on the image information, and generates a digital video signal including video containing graphics or the like. The GPU 53 transmits the generated digital video signal to the display device 102.

[0070] The display device 102 is, for example, a display monitor having a screen 102a. The display device 102 receives the digital video signal from the information processing device 101, and displays an image 201 on the screen 102a based on the digital video signal.

[0071] Figure 3 is a block diagram showing the structure of the processing section 51 of the first embodiment. The information processing device 101 is configured, for example, by executing an information processing program, which is an example of a program, in the processing section 51. The processing section 51 has, as functional blocks, a project file acquisition section 61 (first acquisition section), a selection information acquisition section 62 (second acquisition section), a state value acquisition section 63, an actual setting value acquisition section 64, a display control section 65, a project file update section 66, and an actual setting value update section 67.

[0072] Figure 4 is a diagram showing an image 201a which is an example of the image 201 of the first embodiment. Hereinafter, a case where the sensor system 301 has two sensor amplifiers 331, a sensor amplifier 331a and a sensor amplifier 331b, will be described.

[0073] As shown in Figures 1-4 , the communication unit 320 and each sensor amplifier 331 communicate with each other to notify the channel numbers, thereby recognizing the connection state of each sensor amplifier 331. The connection state is, for example, the number of connected sensor amplifiers 331, and the identification information and connection order of each sensor amplifier 331. The communication unit 320 and each sensor amplifier 331 save the state value in the memory thereof. The state value is, for example, information indicating the connection structure of the sensor amplifiers 331 (in other words, information indicating the connection state), model information of the sensor amplifiers 331, model information of the sensor heads 332 connected to the sensor amplifiers 331, and information indicating the channels, and the like.

[0074] The state value acquisition section 63 in the processing section 51 acquires the state values of the plurality of sensor amplifiers 331 from the communication unit 320 via the communication section 54. In addition, the state value acquisition section 63 can acquire the state values from the sensor amplifier 331a or 331b via the communication section 54 and the communication unit 320. The state value acquisition section 63 outputs the acquired state values to the display control section 65.

[0075] The communication unit 320 or the sensor amplifier 331a or the sensor amplifier 331b can transmit the state value to the information processing apparatus 101 either according to a request of the information processing apparatus 101 or at the time of activation of the sensor system 301.

[0076] The actual setting value acquisition section 64 acquires the actual setting values (first setting values) on the setting items in the sensor amplifiers 331a and 331b from the sensor amplifiers 331a and 331b via the communication section 54 and the communication unit 320, respectively. The actual setting value acquisition section 64 outputs the actual setting values on the acquired setting items to the display control section 65.

[0077] The sensor amplifier 331a or 331b can transmit the actual setting values to the information processing apparatus 101 either according to a request of the information processing apparatus 101 or periodically.

[0078] In detail, the actual setting values on the setting items are set in each of the sensor amplifiers 331. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the actual setting values 11 on the setting items 10a are set in the sensor amplifier 331a. Figure 4 In the example shown in FIG. 6, the actual setting values 11 on the setting items 10a are set in the sensor amplifier 331a.

[0079] The setting items 10a are, for example, "Sampling Period (Bank 0)", "HIGH Side Threshold (Bank 0)", and "LOW Side Threshold (Bank 0)", and the like as basic settings, and "Average Number (Bank 0)", "Display Value at Zero Reset (Bank 0)", and "Analog Output Scaling (Bank 0)", and the like as measurements.

[0080] The actual setting values 11 on the "Sampling Period (Bank 0)", "HIGH Side Threshold (Bank 0)", "LOW Side Threshold (Bank 0)", "Average Number (Bank 0)", "Display Value at Zero Reset (Bank 0)", and "Analog Output Scaling (Bank 0)" are, for example, "1 ms", "500000", "-500000", "16", "0", and "Off", respectively.

[0081] The item file acquisition section 61 acquires an item file (first file) in which the held setting values (second setting values) on the setting items of the plurality of sensor amplifiers 331 are written.

[0082] The state value (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a hold state value) and the hold setting value regarding the two sensor amplifiers 331 are written in the project file. The 2 hold setting values are, for example, values that can be written to the sensor amplifiers 331a and 331b. That is, the actual setting values of the sensor amplifiers 331a and 331b can be rewritten by the hold setting values read out from the project file.

[0083] The project file is stored in the storage section 55, for example. Alternatively, the project file can be stored in a server. In this case, the project file acquisition section 61 acquires the project file from the server via the Internet. The project file acquisition section 61 outputs the content of the project file to the display control section 65.

[0084] The selection information acquisition section 62 acquires selection information indicating a selected sensor amplifier selected from among the plurality of sensor amplifiers 331. Specifically, the selected sensor amplifier is selected by a user, for example. The user selects the selected sensor amplifier from among the plurality of sensor amplifiers 331 by operating the reception section 56. The selection information acquisition section 62 monitors data indicating the detection result of the reception section 56, generates selection information based on the monitoring result, and outputs the selection information to the display control section 65.

[0085] More specifically, the image 201a includes the sensor amplifier icons 26a and 26b corresponding to the sensor amplifiers 331a and 331b, respectively (refer to FIG. 2B). Figure 4 The selection information acquisition section 62, for example, recognizes that the sensor amplifier 331a corresponding to the sensor amplifier icon 26a is selected based on the fact that the user has clicked the sensor amplifier icon 26a, and generates selection information indicating the recognition information of the sensor amplifier 331a.

[0086] The display control section 65 performs control to display the image 201 based on the state value, the actual setting value, the hold setting value, and the selection information.

[0087] The image 201 includes a display region Al (1st display region), a display region A2 (2nd display region), and a display region A3 (3rd display region).

[0088] In the display region Al, the combination state of the plurality of sensor amplifiers 331 and the content of the selection information are displayed.

[0089] Specifically, the display control section 65 performs control to arrange and display the plurality of sensor amplifier icons 26 corresponding to the plurality of sensor amplifiers 331 in the display region Al in the order of combination of the plurality of sensor amplifiers 331.

[0090] In the display region A2, the actual setting value of the selected sensor amplifier is displayed. Figure 4In the illustrated example, the state values indicate that the sensor amplifiers 331a and 331b having "CH-1" and "CH-2" as the identification information, respectively, are sequentially connected from the side closer to the communication unit 320.

[0091] In the display area Al, the communication unit icon 25 corresponding to the communication unit 320, and the sensor amplifier icons 26a and 26b corresponding to the sensor amplifiers 331a and 331b, respectively, are displayed.

[0092] The sensor amplifier icons 26a and 26b are arranged in the order of the sensor amplifier icons 26a and 26b from the side closer to the communication unit icon 25, as with the order in which the sensor amplifiers 331a and 331b are connected.

[0093] The identification information "CH-1" and "CH-2" of the sensor amplifiers 331a and 331b is attached to the sensor amplifier icons 26a and 26b, respectively. In addition, in the sensor amplifier icons 26a and 26b, as labels that can be arbitrarily given by the user, "upper side sensor" and "lower side sensor" are attached, respectively, for example.

[0094] According to such a structure, in an application in which the thickness is measured by sandwiching the electrode sheet of a secondary battery with the sensor head 332 using two optical displacement sensors and measuring the same point from above and below, for example, the user can quickly recognize that the measurement objects of the sensor amplifiers 331a and 331b are the upper side and the lower side of the electrode sheet, respectively, by subsequently referring to the sensor amplifier icons 26a and 26b.

[0095] In addition, in an application in which the positioning of a robot arm in XYZ space that can be three-dimensionally controlled is monitored by three optical displacement sensors, for example, it can also be a structure in which the sensor amplifier icons 26 to which "CH-1" and "X direction" are attached, the sensor amplifier icons 26 to which "CH-2" and "Y direction" are attached, and the sensor amplifier icons 26 to which "CH-3" and "Z direction" are attached are displayed. By subsequently referring to the three sensor amplifier icons 26, it is possible to quickly recognize that the measurement objects of the three sensor amplifiers 331 corresponding thereto are the X direction position, the Y direction position, and the Z direction position of the robot arm, respectively.

[0096] The display control section 65 performs control to display the sensor amplifier icon 26 corresponding to the selected sensor amplifier in a display mode different from the display modes of the other sensor amplifier icons 26 (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as the selected sensor amplifier icon 27).

[0097] In the display area Al, the communication unit icon 25 corresponding to the communication unit 320, and the sensor amplifier icons 26a and 26b corresponding to the sensor amplifiers 331a and 331b, respectively, are displayed. Figure 4In the example shown, the sensor amplifier 331a is a selected sensor amplifier selected by the user. The selected sensor amplifier icon 27 corresponding to the sensor amplifier 331a is highlighted in white, in contrast to the sensor amplifier icon 26b to which a shade is applied.

[0098] In addition, the structure in which the selected sensor amplifier icon 27 is displayed in a display mode different from that of the other sensor amplifier icons 26 is not limiting, and the structure in which the selected sensor amplifier icon 27 is displayed in the same display mode as that of the other sensor amplifier icons 26 and the identification information of the selected sensor amplifier is also displayed as a caption in the display area Al can also be employed.

[0099] The display control section 65 performs control to arrange and display the display areas A2 and A3 in the image 201a. In the present embodiment, the display control section 65 performs control to arrange and display the display areas A2 and A3 side by side on the lower side of the display area Al in such a manner that the display areas A2 and A3 are positioned on the right side and the left side, respectively.

[0100] The setting items 10a of the selected sensor amplifier and the actual setting values 11 with respect to the setting items 10a are displayed in the display area A2. The setting items 10p of the selected sensor amplifier and the held setting values 12 with respect to the setting items 10p are displayed in the display area A3. Hereinafter, the setting items 10a and 10p will be sometimes referred to as setting items 10, respectively.

[0101] In the example shown, the setting items 10a have a plurality of items. The actual setting values 11 have a plurality of values corresponding to the plurality of setting items 10a, respectively. In addition, the setting items 10a and the actual setting values 11 can also have a structure in which one item and one value are provided, respectively. The setting items 10p and the held setting values 12 are the same as the setting items 10a and the actual setting values 11, respectively. Figure 4 In the example shown, the setting items 10a have a plurality of items. The actual setting values 11 have a plurality of values corresponding to the plurality of setting items 10a, respectively. In addition, the setting items 10a and the actual setting values 11 can also have a structure in which one item and one value are provided, respectively. The setting items 10p and the held setting values 12 are the same as the setting items 10a and the actual setting values 11, respectively.

[0102] The setting items 10a are arranged and displayed from the upper side toward the lower side. The contents and the arrangement order of the setting items 10p are the same as those of the setting items 10a, respectively.

[0103] Specifically, as the setting items 10a, "Sampling Period (Bank 0)", "HIGH Side Threshold (Bank 0)", and "LOW Side Threshold (Bank 0)" are arranged and displayed from the upper side toward the lower side, and as the setting items 10p, "Sampling Period (Bank 0)", "HIGH Side Threshold (Bank 0)", and "LOW Side Threshold (Bank 0)" are arranged and displayed from the upper side toward the lower side.

[0104] The respective actual setting values 11 are displayed on the right side of the respective setting items 10a. The respective held setting values 12 are displayed on the right side of the respective setting items 10p.

[0105] Specifically, on the left side of "Sampling Period (Bank 0)" in the setting items 10a and the corresponding actual setting value 11, i.e., "1 ms", "Sampling Period (Bank 0)" in the setting items 10p and the corresponding held setting value 12, i.e., "4 ms", are displayed.

[0106] According to such a structure, the actual setting value 11 and the held setting value 12 of the same setting item 10 can be displayed in left and right arrangement, and thus the user can observe the actual setting value 11 and the held setting value 12 in left and right arrangement, thereby easily recognizing whether they are consistent.

[0107] The display control section 65 performs control to display the actual setting value 11 of the selection sensor amplifier and the held setting value 12 of the selection sensor amplifier in the display areas A2 and A3, respectively, in an editable manner.

[0108] In the present embodiment, the actual setting value 11 and the held setting value 12 are displayed using a pull-down list and an edit box or the like, and can be edited by the user.

[0109] Further, the display control section 65 can also be a structure that performs control to display either one of the actual setting value 11 of the selection sensor amplifier and the held setting value 12 of the selection sensor amplifier in the display areas A2 and A3, respectively, in an editable manner.

[0110] The display control section 65 performs control to display two inconsistency icons 21 (first icons) attached to the actual setting value 11 and the held setting value 12, respectively, in a case where the actual setting value 11 and the held setting value 12 are different.

[0111] In the example shown in FIG. 8, the actual setting value 11 and the held setting value 12 of "Sampling Period (Bank 0)" are different, i.e., "1 ms" and "4 ms", and thus the inconsistency icons 21c and 21a are attached to the actual setting value 11 indicating "1 ms" and the held setting value 12 indicating "4 ms", respectively. Figure 4 In the example shown in FIG. 8, the actual setting value 11 and the held setting value 12 of "Sampling Period (Bank 0)" are different, i.e., "1 ms" and "4 ms", and thus the inconsistency icons 21c and 21a are attached to the actual setting value 11 indicating "1 ms" and the held setting value 12 indicating "4 ms", respectively.

[0112] Further, the actual setting value 11 and the held setting value 12 of "Average Number (Bank 0)" are different, i.e., "16" and "1", and thus the inconsistency icons 21d and 21b are attached to the actual setting value 11 indicating "16" and the held setting value 12 indicating "1", respectively.

[0113] In addition, the display control section 65 can also be configured to perform control to display the inconsistency icon 21 added to either the actual setting value 11 or the retained setting value 12 in a case where the actual setting value 11 and the retained setting value 12 are different.

[0114] The display control section 65 performs control to display the inconsistency icon 22 (second icon) added to the sensor amplifier icon 26 corresponding to the inconsistent sensor amplifier in the display region Al in a case where there is an inconsistent sensor amplifier having a setting item 10 in which the actual setting value 11 and the retained setting value 12 are different among the plurality of sensor amplifiers 331.

[0115] In the example shown in FIG. 9, the actual setting value 11 and the retained setting value 12 are different with respect to the "sample period (Bank 0)" and the "average number (Bank 0)" in the sensor amplifier 331a, so the inconsistency icon 22 is added to the sensor amplifier icon 26a, i.e., the selected sensor amplifier icon 27, corresponding to the sensor amplifier 331a. Figure 4

[0116] Figure 5 is an example of an image 201a after the button 31 is operated. As shown in FIG. 10, the display control section 65 performs control to display the button 31 (first operation object) for rewriting the actual setting value 11 of the selected sensor amplifier to the retained setting value 12 of the selected sensor amplifier. Figure 5 The button 31 is added with an explanatory text of "transmit", for example. When the user operates the reception section 56 to press the button 31, for example, the display control section 65 performs control to rewrite the actual setting value 11 of the selected sensor amplifier to the retained setting value 12 of the selected sensor amplifier.

[0117] In the example shown in FIG. 9, the actual setting value 11 and the retained setting value 12 are different with respect to the "sample period (Bank 0)" and the "average number (Bank 0)" in the sensor amplifier 331a, so the inconsistency icon 22 is added to the sensor amplifier icon 26a, i.e., the selected sensor amplifier icon 27, corresponding to the sensor amplifier 331a.

[0118] Figure 4 Figure 5 In the example shown in FIG. 9, the actual setting value 11 and the retained setting value 12 are different with respect to the "sample period (Bank 0)" and the "average number (Bank 0)" in the sensor amplifier 331a, so the inconsistency icon 22 is added to the sensor amplifier icon 26a, i.e., the selected sensor amplifier icon 27, corresponding to the sensor amplifier 331a.

[0119] The actual setting value updating section 67 then transmits the rewritten actual setting value 11 or the retained setting value 12 to the selected sensor amplifier, i.e., the sensor amplifier 331a, via the communication section 54 and the communication unit 320, thereby updating the actual setting value of the sensor amplifier 331a.

[0120] ​​​In addition, since the inconsistency between the actual setting value 11 and the hold setting value 12 is eliminated, the display control section 65 does not display the inconsistency icons 21a to 21d. In addition, since the inconsistent sensor amplifier is eliminated, the display control section 65 does not display the inconsistency icon 22.

[0121] Figure 6 is an example of the image 201a indicating that the button 32 is operated. As shown in Figure 6 , the display control section 65 performs control to display the button 32 (2nd operation object) for overwriting the hold setting value 12 of the selected sensor amplifier with the actual setting value 11 of the selected sensor amplifier.

[0122] The button 32 is attached with an explanatory text of "Readout", for example. When the user operates the reception section 56 to press the button 32, for example, the display control section 65 performs control to overwrite the hold setting value 12 of the selected sensor amplifier with the actual setting value 11 of the selected sensor amplifier.

[0123] In the example shown in Figure 4 and Figure 6 , the hold setting values 12 of "1 ms" and "16" are overwritten with respect to the "sampling period (Bank 0)" and the "average number of times (Bank 0)", respectively.

[0124] Then, the project file update section 66 updates the hold setting values with respect to the selected sensor amplifier written to the project file, based on the overwritten hold setting values 12 or the actual setting values 11.

[0125] In addition, since the inconsistency between the actual setting value 11 and the hold setting value 12 is eliminated, the display control section 65 does not display the inconsistency icons 21a to 21d. In addition, since the inconsistent sensor amplifier is eliminated, the display control section 65 does not display the inconsistency icon 22.

[0126] [Information processing method]

[0127] Next, the information processing method in the 1st embodiment will be described in detail. Figure 7 is a flowchart indicating the information processing method performed by the information processing apparatus 101 of the 1st embodiment. As shown in Figure 7 , the information processing method includes steps S102 to S112, each of which is performed by the processing section 51 included in the information processing apparatus 101.

[0128] First, the information processing apparatus 101 acquires the actual setting values 11 from the plurality of sensor amplifiers 331 via the communication unit 320 (step S102).

[0129] Next, the information processing apparatus 101 acquires the project file containing the held setting value 12 (step S104).

[0130] Next, the information processing apparatus 101 acquires the state value from the communication unit 320 or the sensor amplifier 331 (step S106).

[0131] Next, the information processing apparatus 101 acquires the selection information (step S108).

[0132] Next, the information processing apparatus 101 performs control to display the image 201 based on the state value, the actual setting value 11, the held setting value 12, and the selection information (step S110).

[0133] Next, the information processing apparatus 101 performs the image update processing (step S112).

[0134] In addition, each of the processes in the above-described flowchart can be exchanged within a range that does not affect the operation. For example, the order of each of the processes of S102 to S108 in the above-described flowchart can be exchanged.

[0135] Figure 8 is a flowchart showing the image update processing in the information processing apparatus 101 of the first embodiment. Figure 8 The details of the operation in step S112 of Figure 7 are shown.

[0136] As shown in Figure 8 , first, the display of the image 201 is maintained until the button 31 or 32 is pressed, or the selection information is acquired, or the end condition is satisfied (NO in step S202, NO in step S204, NO in step S206, and NO in step S208).

[0137] On the other hand, the information processing apparatus 101 updates the image 201 when the button 31 or 32 is pressed or the selection information is acquired (YES in step S202, YES in step S204, or YES in step S206).

[0138] Specifically, the information processing apparatus 101 updates the image 201a shown in Figure 4 to the image 201a shown in Figure 5 in a case where the button 31 is pressed. In addition, the information processing apparatus 101 updates the image 201a shown in Figure 4 to the image 201a shown in Figure 6 in a case where the button 32 is pressed.

[0139] Further, for example, the information processing apparatus 101 switches the selection sensor amplifier icon 27 from the sensor amplifier icon 26a to the sensor amplifier icon 26b, applies a shadow to the sensor amplifier icon 26a, and displays the sensor amplifier icon 26b in white highlight when the selection information indicating that the sensor amplifier 331b is selected is acquired.

[0140] Next, the information processing apparatus 101 maintains the display of the updated image 201 until the button 31 or 32 is pressed, or the selection information is acquired, or the end condition is satisfied (NO in step S202, NO in step S204, NO in step S206, and NO in step S208).

[0141] In addition, the information processing apparatus 101 ends the image update processing when the end condition is satisfied (YES in step S208). The end condition is, for example, that an end button (not illustrated) is pressed or that the window is closed.

[0142] [2nd Embodiment]

[0143] The information processing apparatus 101 of the 2nd embodiment will be described. In the 2nd embodiment and later, the description about matters common to the 1st embodiment will be omitted, and only the different points will be described. In particular, for the same effects based on the same structures, the same effects are not mentioned in each embodiment in order.

[0144] The information processing apparatus 101 of the 2nd embodiment differs from the information processing apparatus 101 of the 1st embodiment in that it has a function of rewriting the actual setting value of the other sensor amplifier 331 with the actual setting value of the sensor amplifier 331.

[0145] Figure 9 is a block diagram showing the structure of the processing section 51a of the 2nd embodiment. The processing section 51a has, instead of the item file update section 66 and the actual setting value update section 67, an actual setting value rewriting section 68, compared to the processing section 51 shown in Figure 3

[0146] Figure 10 is a diagram showing an image 201b which is an example of the image 201 of the 1st embodiment. Hereinafter, a case where the sensor system 301 has 16 sensor amplifiers 331 of the sensor amplifiers 331a to 331p will be described.

[0147] In the example shown in Figure 10 In the example shown in ​

[0148] The order in which the sensor amplifier icons 26a to 26p are linked to the actual sensor amplifiers 331a to 331p is the same as the order in which the sensor amplifier icons 26a to 26p are arranged from the side closer to the communication unit icon 25.

[0149] In addition, in Figure 10 In the example shown, the sensor amplifier 331b is a selected sensor amplifier selected by the user. The selected sensor amplifier icon 27 corresponding to the sensor amplifier 331b, that is, the sensor amplifier icon 26b, is highlighted in white.

[0150] As Figure 9 and Figure 10 The display control section 65 performs control to display the button 33 (the third operation object) for overwriting the actual setting values 11 of the other sensor amplifiers 331 by selecting the actual setting value 11 of the sensor amplifier. The button 33 is provided, for example, with an explanatory text of "copy of setting".

[0151] Figure 11 is a view showing an example of the image 202 displayed after the button 33 is operated. As Figures 9-11 shown, for example, when the user operates the reception section 56 to press the button 33, the display control section 65 performs control to display a plurality of sensor amplifier icons 126 corresponding to the plurality of sensor amplifiers 331, the plurality of sensor amplifier icons 126 being provided with check boxes 34 (the fourth operation object) for selecting the other sensor amplifiers 331.

[0152] In Figure 11 the example shown, the sensor amplifier icons 126a to 126p corresponding to the sensor amplifiers 331a to 331p, respectively, and the button 41 provided with an explanatory text of "copy and transfer to sensor" are displayed in the image 202.

[0153] The four check boxes 34 of the enabled state are provided to the sensor amplifier icons 126c to 126f, respectively.

[0154] The check boxes provided to the sensor amplifier icon 126a and the sensor amplifier icons 126g to 126p are in the disabled state because, for example, the actual setting values 11 cannot be copied due to a difference in the type of the sensor head 332.

[0155] The check box provided to the sensor amplifier icon 126b is in the disabled state because it is the source of the copy of the actual setting value 11.

[0156] In Figure 11In the illustrated example, the "checked" attribute of the check box 34 attached to the sensor amplifier icons 126c and 126d is true. On the other hand, the "checked" attribute of the check box 34 attached to the sensor amplifier icons 126e and 126f is false.

[0157] Figure 12 is a view showing an example of the image 203 displayed after the button 41 is operated. As shown in Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 illustrated, for example, when the user operates the reception unit 56 to press the button 41, the display control unit 65 performs control to display the image 203 containing the identification information of the copy source sensor amplifier 331 and the identification information of the copy target sensor amplifier 331. The image 203, for example, indicates a dialog box containing the button 42 to which the explanatory text "OK" is attached and the button to which the explanatory text "Cancel" is attached.

[0158] In Figure 12 the illustrated example, as the identification information of the copy source sensor amplifier 331b, "CH-2" is displayed. Also, as the identification information of the copy destination sensor amplifiers 331c and 331d, "CH-3" and "CH-4" are displayed, respectively.

[0159] Figure 13 is a view showing an example of the image 204 displayed after the button 42 is operated. As shown in Figure 9 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 illustrated, for example, when the user operates the reception unit 56 to press the button 42, the display control unit 65 performs control to display the image 204 indicating that the copy is being performed.

[0160] At this time, the actual setting value rewriting unit 68 transmits the actual setting value 11 of the selected sensor amplifier, i.e., the sensor amplifier 331b, to the sensor amplifiers 331c and 331d via the communication unit 320 and the communication unit 320, and thereby rewrites the actual setting values of the sensor amplifiers 331c and 331d with the actual setting value 11.

[0161] Thereby, for example, in a case where the sensor amplifiers 331c and 331d are replaced or newly installed as the same kind as the sensor amplifier 331b, it is possible to simply make the settings of the sensor amplifiers 331c and 331d consistent with the setting of the sensor amplifier 331b.

[0162] Further, it can also be configured to rewrite the hold setting values 12 of the sensor amplifiers 331c and 331d to the actual setting values 11 of the sensor amplifier 331b when the actual setting values of the sensor amplifiers 331c and 331d are rewritten to the actual setting value 11 of the sensor amplifier 331b.

[0163] [3rd Embodiment]

[0164] The information processing apparatus 101 of the 3rd embodiment will be described. The information processing apparatus 101 of the 3rd embodiment differs from the information processing apparatus 101 of the 1st embodiment in that it has a function of saving the actual setting value of each sensor amplifier 331 in the project file as a hold setting value.

[0165] [Creation of Project File]

[0166] Figure 14 is a block diagram showing the structure of the processing section 51b of the 3rd embodiment. The processing section 51b has an actual setting value rewriting section 68 and a project file creation section 69 instead of the project file updating section 66 and the actual setting value updating section 67 compared to the processing section 51 shown in Figure 3

[0167] Figure 15 is a diagram showing an example of the image 205 when a new project file is created. As shown in Figure 14 and Figure 15 The display control section 65 performs control to display the button 36 (6th operation object) for writing the plurality of actual setting values 11 of the plurality of sensor amplifiers 331 each as the plurality of hold setting values 12 of the plurality of sensor amplifiers 331 each in the project file (2nd file).

[0168] In the present embodiment, for example, the display control section 65 performs control to display the image 205 containing the button 43 for newly creating a project file.

[0169] When the button 43 is pressed by the user operation receiving section 56, the display control section 65 performs control to display the image 205 further containing the dialog box 44. The dialog box 44 contains the button 36 to which the explanatory text "OK" is attached.

[0170] For example, when the button 36 is pressed by the user operation receiving section 56, the actual setting value acquiring section 64 acquires the actual setting values 11 from the plurality of sensor amplifiers 331 and outputs them to the project file creation section 69.

[0171] In addition, the IP address of the communication unit 320 and the name and the saving destination of the new project file can be input by the user before the button 36 is pressed.

[0172] ​The hold setting value 12 records values set as the actual setting value 11. In detail, the item file creation section 69 receives the actual setting value 11 of each sensor amplifier 331 from the actual setting value acquisition section 64, and generates an item file in which the actual setting value 11 of each sensor amplifier 331 is recorded. The item file creation section 69 saves the generated item file in the storage section 55.

[0173] [Reading of item file]

[0174] Figure 16 is a view showing an example of the image 201c as the image 201 of the third embodiment.

[0175] As shown in Figure 14 and Figure 16 , the display control section 65 performs control to display the image 201c including the button 35 (the fifth operation object) for rewriting the plurality of actual setting values 11 of the plurality of sensor amplifiers 331 by the plurality of hold setting values 12 of the plurality of sensor amplifiers 331, respectively.

[0176] In the present embodiment, for example, when the button 45 to which the explanatory text of "Options (O)" is attached is pressed by the user operation receiving section 56, the display control section 65 performs control to drop-display a sub-menu including the button 35 to which the explanatory text of "Send all settings to actual device (S)" is attached.

[0177] For example, when the button 35 is pressed by the user operation receiving section 56, the actual setting value rewriting section 68 transmits the hold setting value 12 to the sensor amplifier 331 through the communication unit 320 for each of the plurality of sensor amplifiers 331, thereby rewriting the actual setting value 11 set to the sensor amplifier 331 to the hold setting value 12.

[0178] The display control section 65 performs control to display the rewritten actual setting value 11, for example, in accordance with a case where the actual setting value 11 in the selected sensor amplifier is rewritten to the hold setting value 12.

[0179] Thus, for example, it is possible to simply copy the actual setting value of each sensor amplifier 331 in the sensor system 301 to the actual setting value of each sensor amplifier 331 in another sensor system 301.

[0180] In detail, for example, by Figure 15The illustrated process saves the actual settings of the sensor amplifiers 331 in the sensor system 301 in a project file. Then, by moving or copying the project file from the sensor system 301 to other sensor systems 301, the actual settings of the sensor amplifiers 331 in the sensor system 301 can be copied as the held settings 12 of the sensor amplifiers 331 in the other sensor systems 301. By performing the illustrated process in the other sensor systems 301 Figure 16 the actual settings of the sensor amplifiers 331 in the other sensor systems 301 can be rewritten as the actual settings of the sensor amplifiers 331 in the sensor system 301.

[0181] The embodiments described above are merely for easy understanding of the present application and are not intended to limit the explanation of the present application. The elements and their arrangement, materials, conditions, shapes, and dimensions, etc. of the embodiments are not limited to the illustrated contents and can be appropriately changed. In addition, the structures illustrated in different embodiments can be partially replaced or combined with each other.
