Solution Overview

Problem

Existing control systems require separate command scripts for each configuration of controlled systems and controllers, making it difficult to perform the same operations across different subsystem configurations and controller configurations using a single command script.

Innovation Solution

A script description separation reconstructing device and method that separates system control command scripts into host and controller processes based on system configuration information, allowing the same script to be used across various subsystem and controller configurations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single command script is used for controlled systems with different subsystem configurations, then script versatility is improved, but system adaptability deteriorates because the script cannot be properly executed on different configurations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescript versatilityVSAvoidsystem adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The command script is segmented into two distinct parts: a host process portion that is common across all configurations, and controller process portions that are specific to each controller. This segmentation allows the host process to remain universal while each controller can have its own specialized process, resolving the contradiction between script versatility and system adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The host process is designed with universal functionality that can operate on any controlled system regardless of specific subsystem configuration. The host process serves multiple functions by dynamically interacting with different controller types, achieving both versatility and adaptability simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If separate command scripts are prepared for each controller configuration, then system adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases due to multiple script versions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem adaptabilityVSAvoidscript management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple controller-specific processes are merged into a single host process that can dynamically adapt to different controller configurations. Instead of maintaining separate scripts for each controller type, the host process combines universal functionality with dynamic controller interaction, reducing script management complexity while preserving system adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The host process achieves universality by being able to execute on multiple different controller configurations without requiring separate scripts. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for maintaining multiple script versions, directly reducing device complexity while preserving adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Manufacturing precision

If command scripts are rewritten for each controlled system, then manufacturing precision is improved, but productivity deteriorates due to time-consuming script preparation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol procedure accuracyVSAvoidsystem setup efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the script into a universal host process and specific controller processes, the majority of the script (host process) can be prepared once and reused across all systems. Only the controller-specific portions need to be adapted, significantly reducing the time required for system setup while maintaining control procedure accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The host process is prepared in advance as a universal template that can be applied to any controlled system. This preliminary preparation of the common portion eliminates the need to rewrite the entire script for each system, improving productivity while maintaining the precision required for different controlled systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An object is to provide a script description separation reconstructing device that can describe the same operation by the same command script regardless of a subsystem configuration of a controlled system, a configuration of a control system, and a kind of the command script. Using system configuration information indicating what kind of subsystem structure the controlled system is composed of, A script description separation reconstructing means reconstructs in a form of separating a system control command script description into a process inside each controller and a process by a host side.
