Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing adjustment time measurement methods for servo control devices do not provide efficient adjustment of control parameters, as they fail to notify how long it will take for adjustment.
Innovation Solution
An adjustment support system and method that includes an acquisition part to gather control parameter and operation pattern numbers, and a notification part to provide adjustment time, number of changes, and operation times based on these conditions, either from previous adjustments or predetermined values.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If adjustment time measurement is performed for each adjustment step, then measurement data can be recorded for manual and automatic adjustment, but the system cannot efficiently adjust control parameters because it does not notify how long adjustment will take
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by acquiring quantity conditions (control parameter number, operation pattern number) before actual adjustment, determines expected adjustment time and operation counts in advance, and notifies users beforehand. This allows users to plan and prepare for the adjustment process, improving overall efficiency while maintaining accurate measurement capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by notifying users of the expected adjustment time and number of operations based on the acquired quantity conditions. This feedback mechanism allows users to understand the adjustment requirements in advance, optimize their workflow, and make informed decisions about resource allocation, thereby improving parameter adjustment efficiency.
2Productivity
If the system notifies adjustment time and operation requirements in advance, then parameter adjustment efficiency improves, but the system complexity increases due to additional acquisition and notification functions
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustment support system performs multiple functions using a unified architecture: it acquires quantity conditions, determines expected adjustment time and operation counts, notifies users, and records measurement data. By consolidating these functions into a single multi-functional system, the patent avoids the need for separate dedicated systems for each function, thereby improving efficiency without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides self-service by automatically acquiring quantity conditions, determining adjustment parameters, and notifying users without requiring external intervention or complex manual configuration. This automation reduces the operational complexity burden on users while maintaining system functionality, allowing the system to serve itself in managing adjustment processes.

AI summary
To efficiently adjust a control parameter of a servo control device. Adjustment support system includes an acquisition part (quantity condition acquiring part) and a notification part (display). The acquisition part acquires a quantity condition including at least one of a control parameter number, which is the number of control parameters, and an operation pattern number, which is the number of operation patterns of a target device (production device). When the control parameter has been previously adjusted under the quantity condition same as or similar to the acquired quantity condition, the notification part notifies at least one of the adjustment time, the number of times of change, and the number of times of operation when the control parameter has been previously adjusted under the quantity condition same as or similar to the acquired quantity condition.
