A control system includes multiple devices each of which independently executes one or more of multiple processes with respect to multiple objects, a memory that stores a setting specified by a user about an execution condition of one or more of the multiple processes, and processing that acquires a current status of the control system, dynamically determines a process to be executed next among the multiple processes based on the setting and the status, and controls the devices.

Control system, production method, and program

A creation device includes processing circuitry that acquires process information about multiple processes executed by one or more industrial machines, controls display, based on the process information of the processes, of a specification screen in which at least one of a pre-process and a post-process of each of the processes is specified, and creates a control program of a control device that controls the one or more industrial machines such that the processes are executed in an order specified using the specification screen.

Program creation device, program creation method, and program

A creation device for creating an instruction for controlling a second industrial machine with a first industrial machine to execute a predetermined operation includes processing circuitry that obtains templates corresponding to operations respectively, control display of a template corresponding to an operation selected from the operations in a creation screen, and create an instruction for the operation selected from the operations based on the operation with respect to the template displayed in the creation screen.

A production system, including an engineering device configured to set a higher-level control device capable of controlling a control device configured to control one or more industrial machines, wherein the engineering device is configured to: display a name of each of a plurality of variables stored in the higher-level control device; receive specification of a variable to be subjected to at least one of collection or rewriting from among the plurality of variables; and perform setting of the at least one of the collection or rewriting of the specified variable.

Production system, production method, and information storage medium

Provided is a production system including: an industrial machine configured to execute each of a plurality of processes; and a circuitry, the circuitry being configured to: detect an abnormality that has occurred in the industrial machine; receive, when the abnormality is detected, a specification of one or more processes to be executed in order to perform recovery, based on process information associating, for each of the plurality of processes, at least a name of the each of the plurality of processes with a variable representing an operation of the industrial machine and indicating that at least one of refer or change is to be performed by a process program to be executed in the each of the plurality of processes; and record recovery process information indicating the received one or more processes.

Production system, recovery system, production method, and information storage medium

Provided is a communication system, in which a first industrial machine and a second industrial machine are configured to communicate to/from each other, the communication system comprising circuitry configured to synchronize first time information updated by the first industrial machine and second time information updated by the second industrial machine with each other, wherein the second industrial machine is configured to: acquire state data on the second industrial machine; and transmit to the first industrial machine the second time information at a time when the state data is acquired and the state data.

Communication system, communication method, and information storage medium

A control apparatus for performing control processing and user period processing within a control period for an industrial machine includes processing circuitry that sets content of the control processing, and sets an upper limit of the user period processing. The user period processing is different from the control processing.

Control apparatus for industrial machine, control system for industrial machine, and method for controlling industrial machine

A data collection system, comprising circuitry configured to: set a sharable public variable from among a plurality of variables of an industrial machine controlled by a control device; collect data on the industrial machine based on the public variable; and record the data in a first storage.

Data collection system, data collection method, and information storage medium

A communication system comprising a first industrial machine and a second industrial machine, which are configured to communicate with each other, wherein the first industrial machine is configured to transmit a copy instruction to the second industrial machine, and wherein the second industrial machine is configured to: update data in a first storage area based on its own operation; copy the data in the first storage area to a second storage area when the copy instruction is received; and transmit the data in the second storage area to the first industrial machine.
