This state detection equipment 6 sends signal by a communication link 8 to this monitoring unit 10, and this signal is corresponding to the corresponding operating state of this processing unit 4 or this assembly 2,7.This communication link 8 can connect for a cable, but also can be wireless connections, and for example a dedicated radio link, an infrared ray connect or the like.Therefore, this monitoring unit can be arranged at one that separate with this monitoring unit 4 or be positioned at the room of farther place.This monitoring unit 10 provided herein can be one " Trackpad ", or comprises one or more " Trackpads ".
This monitoring unit 10 comprises a display device 12, this display device 12 allow these devices and/or system or such as the separate modular of assembly 2,7 by visual.Therefore, by this communication link 8, this monitoring unit 10 for example has been provided a transfer process of this processing unit 4 or the latest data of a mode of operation.This signal is received by a receiving equipment 18 of this monitoring unit 10.Instruction can be exported to the user by these data.Thus, from the data of visual current storage, for example the current operation status of this processing unit 4 and actual required job step (with the form of stored product logic) are displayed to the user.This makes in the process that for example a product changes, can realize effective operation, and can be avoided any unnecessary step.Any step of having finished all is sent to the system (for example ERP, MES) of a higher level and is stored.
Two assemblies 2 of this processing unit 4 and 7 with and the further video data of assembly, and the video data of any assembly that does not directly link to each other with this processing unit 4 all is stored in the memory device 14.In addition, this memory device, stores has the image sequence that will be shown or the flow data of picture position, promptly a kind of " script ".One graphics processing unit 16 can these stored data of access, and can generate image or image sequence from this stored video data and this flow data.These image sequences are exported on this display device 12 subsequently.Yet this image sequence also can be stored in this memory device, and can be given for change as required.
Fig. 2 a-2c has shown this independent video data unit is how to be stored in this memory device.In order to save storage space, this video data is stored in this memory device 14 with the form of a VRML model.VRML (Virtual Reality Modelling Language) is a kind of descriptive language of 3D scene, describes its geometry, illumination, animation and mutual possibility.
This class VRML shows and can be generated in real time by onlooker's PC.This means that this PC can recomputate each independent image continuously from deserve preceding geometric data and behavior and move.Therefore, the VRML model that has benefited from storing in each case, the 3D that can generate whole object shows.Compared to this, Fig. 2 a has shown a kind of so-called block mold, and this block mold comprises: a topology layout of geometric accurate module picture, this module and the geometry that accurately shows.
This VRML model shown in Fig. 2 c has showed that one of this object among Fig. 2 a has the 3-D display of the geometry of having simplified.Yet this model makes the particular content and functional can being transmitted of the module that this is shown, and this module that herein shows is the module of a label sticking machine.In addition, system layout or installation steps can be transmitted by this VRML model.In addition, this model can be realized simple mutual or navigation, and makes that finally use becomes possibility between process.
Therefore, object shown in Fig. 2 c and data thereof have just played the effect of an auxiliary communication device.Particularly, from the block mold shown in Fig. 2 a, the unitary part lower with user's degree of association is hidden at first.More precisely, when showing this device, the details quantity of this 3D geometry will be cut down.In order to reach this purpose, above-mentioned all standardized components, for example screw, sink, pipe 24, and any from the outside sightless and transfer process or in the error correction unnecessary structure details all from this model, omitted.These steps are all carried out in employed 3D CAD system, because this system provides function corresponding.In addition, by omitting these details, can guarantee protection to owner's know-how.
The purpose of this job step is a 3D model that generates this device, and this model has been sophisticated to can be described set function but be convenient to again manage simultaneously.This has realized the reduction to data volume.From Fig. 2 b to Fig. 2 c this changed for the second time, as mentioned above, this geometry was simplified, and therefore, a picture of simplifying the analogy model form is output in Fig. 2 c.Therefore, for example, when this analogy model is generated, can be omitted the displaying of a plurality of borings 21 on the coboundary or a plurality of opening 22.More precisely, these processed data will be changed from 3D CAD in a subsequent step.These data that are transmitted are input to VR software, and its outward appearance is edited.In order to reach this purpose, the color of various modules or material and their displaying will be determined.Also can generate animation.
By the step of Fig. 2 a-2c, the required storage space of this corresponding model can reduce 99% or more.
Figure 3 shows that this display device 12 and screen display thereof under a product change situation.At this, for example will carry out product and change, in the topography 37 on the right of certain device feature or module are displayed on or in the main window 35.This has shown how a device could be converted to another product (for example one 1.0 liters bottle) from a product (for example one 0.5 liters bottle).Visual image in this main window 35 has been showed all steps necessarys that product changes to the effect that the user has played mutual guiding by animation 3D model and symbol.Preferably, do not use text, therefore do not need translation, which kind of language this corresponding user knows just has been wholly immaterial.Ideally, under each situation, have only necessary step to be instructed to.Preferably, can insert the data that must be set up (set value) at the certain position place.Therefore, under the situation that product changes, distance or must be provided with by main shaft highly usually.On main shaft or next-door neighbour main shaft place, this actual value is provided, with auxiliary user in conversion.Yet, also can insert the actual value of a locking assembly.
Special and preferably, animation is applied on this monitoring unit 10 or on its visualization system.In addition, this visualization system also links to each other with this device control.Have benefited under each situation, the data volume of the animation that is shown is kept less, this application is achieved.
Particularly, information can be collected in this device locality thus.Yet this animation also can be used as training material, can also use on the windows computer in the single-set operation for example, that is, this computer is independent of this processing unit.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, this display device has two operating equipments 31 and 32, and the image 37 that these two operating equipments 31 and 32 are used for showing is around diaxon or x axle or the rotation of y axle, so that from different angles it is carried out three dimensional viewing.These operating equipments can be in esse switch, and perhaps they also can be the graphic presentation of the operating equipment that is employed, and this operating equipment is activated by the touch to this display device 12.
More accurately, give this operating equipment 31 and 32 1 shake-up, will trigger the flow process of image sequence.
One further operating equipment 34 allow to be displayed on this image in this main window 35 and be exaggerated or dwindle.About this point, be presented at the actual current operation that this image in this main window 35 can reproduce this processing unit 4 in the mode of animation.Thus, just can under each situation, generate the image that will be shown based on for example control data from this processing unit, can also can also show a corresponding animated image from for example certain motor position, by tracing to the source the position of a unit of this motor driven and/or the sensor signal.
In this animated show, can observe from the back side of a locking assembly, or remove them.
This has realized the actual monitored to a process of this processing unit.For example, in second window 36 of on the left side, provided the guidance that product changes by Word message.For this reason, this system knows and knows a virtual condition or an initial position.This second window 36 has shown that certain product changes required a plurality of modules.The image that is shown in this main window 37 is corresponding with the image in being shown in this second window 36.For example, as shown in Figure 3, can have three modules to be changed or to adjust, and this correspondingly is identified in this second window 36.As long as the user has carried out any change to the bottom screw transporter of this actual device, and these changes are considered to correct, and then this step will be identified as in this second window 36 and finish.Therefore, this displaying can give the user guidance at the easy understanding of replacing a locking assembly.Because a virtual condition of this device is saved, and this system knows the set state that will reach in certain product changes, so can indicate at which assembly of certain change to the user need not to revise.
By activating hurdle 38a, 38b, 38c, the simulation in this main window 37 can be terminated (activating hurdle 38b), put upside down (activating hurdle 38a) or be continued to play (activating hurdle 38c).
Figure 4 shows that under the situation that a mistake has taken place a further embodiment who shows in this display device 12.In this case, certain error message is output in a communication window 41, and this message for example can be reported and at entrance area one device wrong (location of mistake) take place.In addition, the accurate location of this mistake, entrance area for example, with and correcting method can be prompted.In an Information 42, can provide one of this mistake and describe more accurately, for example: a light barrier detects the container that is in the clinostatism in the device process or the information of a lid.
Based on this status information, certain measurement data set is given for change from this memory device 14, and this image that is presented in this main window 46 is output by this graphics processing unit 16.Correspondingly, the bottle of this clinostatism will be shown (for example Shan Shuo redness) in the animation mode in this main window 46.Further, can provide following information to the user in this Information 42: how this device tackles this mistake, for example the speed by closing a bottle barrier and reducing this device.In addition, will export the information of how error correction to the user, in this case, this information will be erected for the bottle 48 of this clinostatism or this lid will be closed.Utilize this activation hurdle 43a and 43b, longer error message can be shown or repeat.
In this main window 46, the corresponding mode of operation of this device is shown that in real time this mode of operation is corresponding with error message and this Information 42 in this communication window 41.
For error correction or safeguard, this 3D model combine with working control (Simatic step 7 for example, Allen Bradley and B﹠amp; R).Under situation about making a mistake, this wrong position is specified in this 3D model or in the device of this summary summary.Preferably, this mistake assembly is emphasized, for example passes through the redness of flicker.The user can improve his/her observation by amplifying this device (with its animation) then.In order to reach this purpose, flow data is stored in this memory device.This functional also must being stored on this current visualization system, for example, on this Trackpad.
According to the complicacy and the kind of mistake, the independent means of error correction also in the mode of animation by visual, just as when product changes, and the user can start that this is visual by activating a function in this Trackpad.The approach of error correction of above-mentioned 3D animated will give the user quick prompt of the error correction about how.Under the situation that some mistakes relevant especially with product (for example 10 to 15) have taken place, this preferably realizes by way of example.This is functional also will to be implemented on the above-mentioned visualization system.
Similarly, work when undesired, can make a demonstration when individual states detecting devices 6 (Fig. 1).In this case, a message can appear in this communication window 41, indicates certain sensor, and for example a clamp monitor had lost efficacy.In addition, the exact position of this sensor can be specified.In the Information 42 of bottom, can provide a more accurate description of this sensor error, and for example, following information can be shown: a specific light barrier job is undesired.In addition, any sequence can be output, for example the information that has been terminated of this device.In addition, can provide the suggestion of error correction, for example, clean the requirement of this related sensor to the user about how.
Because the present error message that is output that makes up has improved readability on the one hand and has guaranteed information integrity on the other hand again, so this step has constituted significantly improving prior art.
Say that summarily it is one virtual or simulate virtual device fully that this display device can be used to provide, and the flow process of this device can be specified under the situation of low storage capacity demand.
Say that summarily according to the present invention, this equipment 1 has adopted a three-dimensional model of this complete processing unit 4, this three-dimensional model comprises all details that the user may need.Thus, this 3D model requires less relatively file size, for example less than the file size of 2MB.In product change process, the animation that provides each independent product to change simultaneously, comprises that the significant description of outfit will be displayed to the user.In addition, this independent animation will repeatedly be offered this user.
