Positioning Control Apparatus Probe List Registration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing positioning control apparatuses require complex and labor-intensive settings for registering control signals or devices across multiple engineering tools, particularly when dealing with multiple control signals or devices, due to the need to refer to multiple screens for operation.
Innovation Solution
A positioning control apparatus that integrates a software development support unit to create and output a probe list for control signals or devices within a motion control program, allowing for simple registration on a unified operation screen, with the sampling display unit displaying sampled data from the controller.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If control signals or devices are registered in two different engineering tools individually, then the sampling display apparatus can display data for control signals or devices, but the setting operation becomes unnecessarily complicated and the amount of labor required is particularly large
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the software development support apparatus and sampling display apparatus into a single integrated apparatus. The operation screen displays both the motion control program and registration settings for the sampling display apparatus, allowing users to register control signals or devices in one unified interface rather than switching between two separate tools. This integration directly resolves the contradiction by maintaining data sampling capability while eliminating the need to refer to multiple screens during registration.
2Reliability
If control signals or devices are registered by referring to multiple screens, then complete registration can be achieved, but the setting operation is unnecessarily complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The operation screen is redesigned to combine the motion control program display area and the registration setting area into a single unified interface. Users can view the motion control program and simultaneously access registration settings for control signals or devices without switching screens. This maintains registration completeness while reducing operational complexity by eliminating the need to navigate between multiple screens.
3Measurement precision
If individual setting is performed for each control signal or device in two different engineering tools, then accurate registration is achieved, but the amount of labor required is particularly large when multiple control signals or devices exist
Solution Approach 1:
The integrated apparatus allows users to perform individual registration settings for multiple control signals or devices within a single unified operation screen. The interface displays both the motion control program and registration settings simultaneously, enabling users to efficiently register multiple signals or devices without repeatedly switching between tools. This maintains registration accuracy while significantly improving productivity by reducing the time and effort required for multiple registration operations.

AI summary
The positioning control apparatus that controls driving of a motor while displaying an operation screen of a motion control program includes a software development support unit to create and output a probe list for control signals or devices used in the motion control program included in the software development support unit; and a sampling display unit to output the probe list to the controller and to display data sampled in the controller. The software development support unit creates the probe list for at least one control signal or at least one device in accordance with an operation performed on the operation screen of the motion control program.
