A control device includes a first processing unit and a second processing unit. One processing unit of the first processing unit and the second processing unit is configured to retain a predetermined variable available in both a calculation by the first processing unit and a calculation by the second processing unit, and the other processing unit of the first processing unit and the second processing unit is configured to access the predetermined variable via the one processing unit.

Control device with second processing unit that accesses variable via first processing unit

To cause multiple field devices to operate together in coordination in accordance with a predetermined program through a network allowing periodic communication, a control device includes an estimator that calculates, based on a position of a first field device in a first cycle, a position of the first field device operable in accordance with a first program in a second cycle following the first cycle, and a processor that determines, based on the first program, a first command value to cause the first field device to operate, transmits the first command value to the first field device through an interface allowing communication with the field devices, determines, based on the estimated position and a second program, a second command value to cause a second field device to operate in coordination with the first field device, and transmits the second command value to the second field device through the interface.

Control device

A control device includes a program in a first execution format in which an overall program is executed per execution and a program in a second execution format in which parts of the program are sequentially executed. The device includes a processor that calculates, based on execution of the program in the second execution format, a second command value for controlling a control target in accordance with an intermediate code generated by an interpreter and calculates the second command value for controlling the same control target in response to the execution of the program in the first execution format, and a permitter that permits, in response to overlap between the execution times of the two programs, execution of one of the two programs accessing a second processor earlier than the other.

Controller

A synchronization control device () includes: a main axis command calculator (Cmm) that calculates a main axis command position based on time-series target position information; a main axis modeler (Mm) that calculates a predicted main axis feedback position by a dynamic characteristic model of a main axis servo control mechanism () by inputting the main axis command position, a main axis feedback position, and a predicted main axis command position after a predetermined time calculated based on the target position information; and a driven axis command calculator (Cms) that calculates a driven axis command position based on the predicted main axis feedback position. This configuration achieves synchronization control that improves the accuracy of synchronous drive of the driven axis.

Synchronization control device, synchronization control system, synchronization control method, and simulation device

A control system is provided. A second robot in this control system has a trajectory calculation unit which calculates a trajectory of the second robot so as to avoid a first robot if it is determined that the first robot and the second robot will collide.

Control system and control method of control system

Updating performance of a display screen in a terminal device that displays a screen for remotely monitoring an object to be controlled by a control device is appropriately maintained. An information device for factory automation connected to the control device that controls an object communicates with a terminal device having a display capable of displaying a screen for remotely monitoring the control device. The screen includes one or more components. The screen data for displaying the screen includes attributes of the respective components relating to the display, and a logic executed by the programmable indicator to determine the attribute values. When the terminal device displays a screen, the programmable indicator transmits the attributes and attribute values of the respective components in the screen data to the terminal device.

Information device, terminal device and recording medium

Provided is a portable control device () comprising: a storage unit () for storing control data that includes a program for controlling a system and data used for the program; and a position control unit () for acquiring the position of the device itself. The portable control device () includes a main control unit () for deleting control data from the storage unit () when the position acquired by the position control unit () is outside a first area.

Portable control device, control system, control method, and non-transitory storage medium storing control program

An operation reception device () comprising: a display unit () for switching between and displaying a plurality of screens; a display control unit () for controlling the switching of the screens on the display unit () in a prescribed sequence; and a main control unit () for controlling the screen switching sequence. When the main control unit () receives a switching instruction from a first screen and a screen having an operation permission for changing the setting content of a sequence control device exists, switching to the screen having an operation permission is not carried out; instead, switching to a screen not having an operation permission is carried out.

Control system, control method, and non-transitory storage medium storing control program

A programmable display includes a memory unit for storing an existing file group, a reading unit for obtaining an update file group, a difference extraction unit for extracting, from the update file group, a file different from files in the existing file group as a difference file, and a writing unit for updating the existing file group by writing the difference file to the memory unit.
