Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If synchronous control simulation is performed without real-time determination of synchronization targets, then the simulation can be executed, but the debugging and adjustment of synchronization function cannot be performed efficiently
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies color changes to visually distinguish synchronization target groups from other control targets during simulation. By changing the display color of synchronization targets, operators can easily identify which targets are being synchronously controlled, enabling efficient debugging and adjustment of synchronization functions without losing visibility of synchronization states.
2Loss of information
If all control targets are displayed uniformly during simulation, then the display is simple, but the distinction between synchronization targets and other targets is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses color changes to differentiate synchronization target groups from other control targets in the display. This allows operators to clearly identify synchronization targets without adding complex display mechanisms, maintaining simplicity while providing necessary information distinction.
3Ease of operation
If the simulation runs at normal speed, then the simulation is efficient, but the temporal transitions of synchronization cannot be observed in detail
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by allowing the simulation speed to be adjusted during execution. Operators can slow down the simulation speed when debugging synchronization temporal transitions to observe details, then resume normal speed for efficient overall simulation. This dynamic speed adjustment enables both detailed observation and time efficiency.

AI summary
A processing device displays a result of simulation of synchronous control performed by a control device to synchronously control at least two of a plurality of control targets by executing a program. The processing device includes a display that displays the plurality of control targets in accordance with execution of the program in the simulation, an identification unit that identifies, among the plurality of control targets, a synchronization target group including control targets synchronously controlled in the execution of the program in the simulation, and a controller that causes the display to display the synchronization target group identified by the identification unit among the plurality of control targets displayed by the display in a manner distinguishable from control targets other than the synchronization target group.
