Abstract

PURPOSE:To quickly comply with the information request given from a host personal computer and to improve the processing ability of a facility controller by using the terminal stations which arrange various information received from the facilities and a control station containing a nonvolatile memory via a common bus. CONSTITUTION:A control station 5 collects the information on the working and production qualities via a check equipment 9 and a bar code reader 2. Then the station 5 stores these collected information into its nonvolatile memory 6 for NC via a common data bus and a transmission/reception control part. The station 5 also offers the information in response to the request of a host personal computer 3. The terminal stations 4 are used for the ascending/ descending transfer of the NC information to the facilities with no intervention of the computer 3. Thus the processing ability of the computer 3 is improved. Furthermore the information so far collected are stored despite occurrence of a service interruption, etc. As a result, various information can be smoothly sent to the computer 3 for the satisfactory control of the facilities.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram of a conventional equipment management device. Information on contact signals such as production signals, operation signals, and abnormal signals from each equipment 101 and serial signals from R8232C etc. is collected on the memory 103 of the terminal station 102, and
In this method, information on the corresponding terminal station is transmitted via the terminal station 102 under the control of the $ control station 105 in response to an information request from the terminal station 102 . However, in the conventional method, in order to obtain the information required by the personal computer 104, the information from the terminal station 104 must be transmitted each time, and when obtaining information from multiple terminals, a waiting time occurs. As the scale increases, the response time for transmitting information to the computer becomes longer for highly urgent processing, and if the terminal station is stopped due to a power outage, it may become impossible to collect information using the computer, or it may become necessary. There was a problem in that information could sometimes be lost.
