Device Attachment Member With Identification Medium For Controller Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The challenge in manufacture work machines is ensuring the reliability of devices installed on a main frame, as random distribution can include low-quality devices, making it difficult to maintain the reliability of the machine.
Innovation Solution
A device attachment member with an identification-information recording medium is incorporated, allowing the controller to identify and manage the devices, preventing unauthorized or low-quality devices from being used.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If devices are randomly distributed in the market for installation on the main frame, then the versatility of the manufacture work machine is improved, but the reliability of the devices cannot be ensured
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a device attachment member as an intermediary component between the device and the main frame. This attachment member includes an identification-information recording medium that stores unique identification information for the device. The controller reads this identification information to verify device authenticity and authorization, thereby ensuring device reliability while maintaining the ability to use various distributed devices on the main frame.
2Adaptability or versatility
If various devices from different distributors are installed on the main frame, then the versatility is enhanced, but low-quality devices may be distributed making reliability management difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the controller reads identification information from the identification-information recording medium on each device attachment member. This feedback allows the controller to verify device authorization, check device quality status, and manage device distribution. The controller can determine whether a device is authorized for use and track device quality, thereby maintaining reliability control while supporting various device types from different distributors.
3Ease of operation
If device distribution is left unmanaged, then ease of installation is improved, but the reliability of the manufacture work machine cannot be ensured
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-storing identification information in the identification-information recording medium before the device is installed on the main frame. This identification information is prepared in advance and includes authorization data and device characteristics. When the device is installed, the controller simply needs to read this pre-prepared information to verify device legitimacy and ensure machine reliability, maintaining ease of installation while implementing reliability management.

AI summary
The invention provides a device attachment member that can be attached to a main frame and that enables distribution of a device to be managed. In the device attachment member 56, 88, 122, etc., that is to be attached to the device and that is used for a manufacture work manufacture equipped with: the device 22, 24, 50, etc., necessary for performing a manufacture work; a main frame on which the device is to be installed; and a controller 70, 270 configured to control the device, the identification-information recording medium 78, 96, etc., in which is recorded the identification information based on which the device is identified by the controller is incorporated in the main body of the device attachment member. According to the thus constructed device attachment member, only the device to which is attached the device attachment member in which the identification-information recording medium is incorporated is controllable by the controller. That is, by managing distribution of the device attachment member, it is possible to manage distribution of the device.
