Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a crane safety apparatus, and more particularly to a crane safety apparatus having a plurality of image display modes and capable of providing an operator with crane operation status settings and safe operation in accordance with a selected image display mode.
- A conventional crane safety apparatus has a function wherein various operation parameters (boom length, boom angle, outrigger projection, jib setting, and the like) for determining the operation status of a crane are inputted, a specific load for the operation status determined by these operation parameters is accessed from previously stored specific loads for various operation status determined in accordance with the specification of a crane, the accessed specific load is compared with the current actual load, if the actual load becomes near the specific load, a warning is issued, and if it becomes equal to the specific load, the crane operation is automatically stopped. A conventional crane safety apparatus of this type has an indication panel such as shown in Fig. 12. The operation status such as crane outrigger projection, jib setting and the like is set by using switches mounted on the indication panel so that values representative of the current boom length, angle and the like are displayed from time to time. A safety meter is mounted on the upper portion of the indication panel. The safety meter displays in the form of bar graph the safety degree of an actual load relative to the specific load for the current crane operation status.
- A problem associated with such conventional technique is that only the safety degree of an actual load relative to the specific load, i.e., the safety degree of actual operation, is provided. As a result, an operator cannot recognize sufficiently the danger for the next possible
- A conventional crane safety apparatus has a function wherein various operation parameters (boom length, boom angle, outrigger projection, jib setting, and the like) for determining the operation status of a crane are inputted, a specific load for the operation status determined by these operation parameters is accessed from previously stored specific loads for various operation status determined in accordance with the specification of a crane, the accessed specific load is compared with the current actual load, if the actual load becomes near the specific load, a warning is issued, and if it becomes equal to the specific load, the crane operation is automatically stopped. A conventional crane safety apparatus of this type has an indication panel such as shown in Fig. 12. The operation status such as crane outrigger projection, jib setting and the like is set by using switches mounted on the indication panel so that values representative of the current boom length, angle and the like are displayed from time to time. A safety meter is mounted on the upper portion of the indication panel. The safety meter displays in the form of bar graph the safety degree of an actual load relative to the specific load for the current crane operation status.
- A problem associated with such conventional technique is that only the safety degree of an actual load relative to the specific load, i.e., the safety degree of actual operation, is provided. As a result, an operator cannot recognize sufficiently the danger for the next possible stage and operation.
- Further, although there are provided warning and automatic stop for the possible overturn, or collapse of a crane, there is not provided a function to regulate the operation range of a crane when considering other buildings or the like.
- Furthermore, there is not provided a function to ensure proper and safe operation at the operation site which an operator cannot visually recognize.
- The crane safety apparatus of this invention has a memory which stores therein display images for a plurality of crane operation modes. The display image selected by an operator is controlled to indicate the current crane operation status in accordance with the crane operation parameters and operator setting data.
- According to a preferred embodiment of this invention, the crane safety apparatus comprises a main unit controller and a display unit controller each having a CPU. CPUs of the main and display unit controllers run independently from each other on sequence programs for the display control. Commands and data transfer between CPUs of the main and display unit controllers is activated by an interrupt. According to the present invention, jobs are assigned properly to the main and display unit controller CPUs so that the crane operation status can be displayed without any time delay to allow quick control of the crane and display of a schematic diagram of complicated crane operation status.
- As shown in Fig. 1, an ACS
main unit 2 anddisplay unit 3 are installed within acrane operation room 1. An operator sets crane operation conditions and operates the crane while viewing a display selected from a plurality of display modes and displayed on the screen. The crane operation status (boom length L, boom angle θ, slewing angle ϕ, actual load W and the like) is detected with various sensors including astress sensor 4,boom angle sensor 5, slewing angle sensor 6, frontjack setting sensor 7,counterweight sensor 8,-spiral sensor 9 and the like. The sensor output data are sent to the ACS main unit. The ACS main unit checks when the crane operation status reaches a predetermined danger zone to issue a crane stop command to an automatic stop apparatus. - The fundamental structure of the ACS apparatus of this invention is shown in Fig. 2A. The ACS apparatus is constructed of a main unit and a display unit. During the operation of the apparatus, commands and data are transferred between a main unit controller A and a display unit controller B.
- Upon power-on, the crane operation status (outrigger projection step, jib step and the like) is first required to be set. This setting is carried out at the display unit. An operator selects an operation status setting mode from a plurality of display modes to display a display indication such as shown in Fig. 3 on a display B" screen, and operates predetermined keys on a setting key group B' while monitoring the display B" screen. The display unit controller B has a memory which stores therein, in the form of a bit map for example, graphics data for display images such as shown in Fig. 3. In accordance with a display control program in a ROM, CPU selectively reads a display image shown in Fig. 3 from the memory, writes it in a video RAM, and displays the display image on the display B" screen in accordance with the data read from the video ram. The display unit controller B fetches the data of outrigger step setting and the like entered from a setting key by an operator, modifies the display image so as to match the setting data, and supplies the setting data as data B to the main unit controller A. Upon setting completion in the operation status setting mode, the display unit controller B enters an ACS mode and displays a display image such as shown in Fig. 4A on the display B" screen. The graphics data for the display image such as shown in Fig. 4A have already been stored in the memory, so CPU executes a selective read and display of the graphics data.
- In addition to the crane operation status setting data B supplied from the display unit controller B, the main unit controller A obtains from a sensor group A' the operation parameter data (such as boom length Q, boom angle e, slewing angle ϕ) representative of the operation status of the crane mechanism which changes from time to time as the crane is operated. These operation parameters are sent directly, or after processed by CPU, to the display unit controller B as data A. The display unit controller B modifies from time to time the display image on the display B" screen in accordance with the data A, to thereby display the current operation status of the crane.
- The main unit controller A stores various data in accordance with each crane specification. Such data are typically maximum specific loads for various crane operation status. For example, a total specific load curve shown in Fig. 2B is used for the operation status settings such as with outrigger intermediate projection of (5.0 m - side direction), without jib, and with boom length of 8.9 m. Such a total specific load curve is determined for each of different operation status settings and boom lengths, in accordance with each crane specification. A great number of these data are stored in ROM of the main unit controller A.
- In accordance with the crane operation status setting data B supplied from the display unit controller B and the crane operation status parameters changing with time supplied from the sensor group A', the main unit controller A accesses ROM to obtain the maximum specific load data for the crane operation status at that time, or compares the maximum load value obtained by processing the data with the actual load and if the current crane operation status is in La danger zone, a warning is issued, or/and delivers a signal for controlling the crane mechanism A" for automatic stop of the crane operation.
- In the bit map memory of the display unit controller B, there are stored a plurality of display image graphics data corresponding to a plurality of display modes. A display image such as shown in Figs. 5 to 9 is selected in accordance with the display mode selected by a setting key. In addition to the ACS mode shown in Fig. 4 conventionally provided in general, an operator can use other display modes to set the operation contents of a crane and monitor it for the effective crane operation. The operation of other display modes will be later detailed.
- The main unit controller A and display unit controller B each have a processor (CPU), and they run independently on its own program. Transmission/reception of commands and data between the main unit controller A and display unit controller B is allowed by an interrupt process.
- Referring to Fig. 2C, the
main unit CPU 200 receives the actual load data from astress sensor 201, and other crane operation parameter data from a slewing angle sensor 202.,boom length sensor 203,boom angle sensor 204, boom topv. angle sensor 205, jibv. angle sensor 206, andstress sensor 208 respectively disposed at various positions of the crane. The data from thesensors top terminal 207 at the boom distal end, sent to acord reel 210 at the boom distal end via anoptical fiber cable 209, subjected to photoelectric conversion at the cord reel, and sent to themain unit CPU 200. Thedisplay unit CPU 211 is powered from the main unit CPU via aline 217. Commands and data are transferred via bilateralserial lines main unit CPU 200. Thedisplay 212 is a matrix type dynamic drive liquid crystal display (LCD). An LCD is more preferable than other CRT, LED, plasma display and the like because the crane is generally used in outdoors and because it allows a clear display image even-under strong sun light. During the night,LCD 212 is provided with back illumination. The setting , key switch group includes a plurality of touch keys corresponding is number to a plurality of items to be set. Signals for controlling the crane mechanism are outputted to aplunger 218, magnetic value or the like. - Referring to Fig. 3, after the power is turned on, the display unit CPU automatically enters the operation status setting mode, and displays the image such as shown in Fig. 3. This mode is indicated at 301. Numerals generally indicated at 302 represent the boom status and they'are flashing. When an operator sets desired numerals, they stop flashing and become always illuminated. First, in order to select a desired boom operation status, one of the ten keys on a
touch panel 310A is depressed. Numeral 0 stands for the case of using only the main boom without using the jib and rooster, numeral 1 stands for the case of using the jib with one step, numeral 3 stands for the case of using the jib with two s.teps. After completion of the boom operation status setting, numerals will flash to indicate therightside outrigger status 303.Numeral 3 represents a maximum projection, numeral 2 an intermediate projection, numeral 1 a small projection, numeral 0 a minimum projection, numeral 4 no outrigger mounting, and numeral 5 a status setting, an operator selects a desired numeral upon activation of the ten keys on thetouch panel 310A. Following the rightside outrigger setting, theleftside outrigger status 304 is set. - The display unit CPU causes the set numeral to change its display status from flashing to continuous illumination, and sends the set boom and outrigger status data to the main unit CPU.
- After completion of the input operation for the operation status mode, the display unit CPU automatically enters the ACS (Automatic Crane Stopper) for displaying an image such as shown in Fig. 4. In accordance with the information supplied from the main unit CPU, the display unit CPU displays the current crane operation status, i.e., an outrigger setting 404, slewing
position 405,operation radius 406,boom angle 407, liftingload 410, liftingdistance 409, andboom length 402. The boom length is schematically displayed in the form ofbar 403 whose length changes in correspondence with the actual length of the boom. - The safety limit of the current crane operation status is indicated at 411 in the form of bar graph. The numerical representation of the safety limit is indicated at 413. The limit (maximum) load at the current crane operation status is indicated at 408. When the crane operation status becomes near the limit zone (when the
bar graph 411 extends to the yellow zone), a warning is issued. When the status reaches the limit, the crane is automatically stopped. the main unit CPU monitors the actual crane operation status by using the data from various sensors, accesses the memory to obtain the maximum limit load for that operation status, and checks if the accessed maximum limit load is equal to or smaller than the actual load. If the actual load becomes the maximum limit load for the current crane operation status, the main unit CPU delivers a signal for locking the crane operation mechanism. During the ACS mode display, the display unit CPU visually provides an operator a crane operation status. The crane operation status reaches a limit when it has a maximum limit load, or when it has an operation range limit set by an operator (described later with reference to Fig. 5). Also in the latter case, a warning is issued and the crane is automatically stopped. - One of distinctive features of this embodiment is to display an
automatic stop cause 412. If the crane stops automatically during the ACS mode, it is difficult for an operator to find at once the cause of automatic stop. The cause of automatic stop is difficult to be found especially for the case of crane turnover or failure caused by overload during the operation, and for the case of crane operation during the ACS mode while setting the crane operation range or zone (described later with Fig. 5). Further, if a predetermined length of wire continues to be released over the range of its length, then a reverse winding of the wire occurs during the crane operation. In such a case, an automatic stop is also effected. In the ACS mode of this embodiment, the cause of automatic stop is illustratively displayed at 412 on the screen. -
- The cause of automatic stop described above is displayed when certain conditions are satisfied. For-example, the cause of automatic stop for moment is assigned, when the actual load is equal to or larger than the limit load and the lever operation is in danger side. if the actual load is near the limit load and an operator causes to turn down or extend the boom further, or causes the winch to wind up the wire, these lever operations are in danger side. The main unit CPU issues a locking signal in response to these lever operations in danger side, and the display unit CPU displays the illustrative representation (a). Upon the automatic stop, the operator recognizes from the displayed automatic stop cause illustrative representation (a) that the boom cannot be turned down or extended and that the crane can be released from the danger by other operations such as lifting the boom. As above, if the crane is turned down and the actual load exceeds the limit load, the crane enters the automatic stop, and the moment automatic stop cause representation is displayed. At this time, upon moving the crane operation lever back to the neutral position, the crane automatic stop is released and the cause representation disappears. In this condition, if the crane operation lever is turned to the boom extension side, the automatic stop is effected again and the moment automatic stop cause is displayed. If the crane operation lever is turned not to the boom extension side but to the boom standing side, boom compression side or winch winding back side, then the automatic stop and cause display are not effected.
- The crane operation in danger side is different for each automatic stop cause. The main unit CPU has stored data representative of the direction of locking the operation lever, respectively for each crane automatic stop cause. For example, if the automatic stop is effected because of the boom high limit angle, the main unit CPU supplies to the crane mechanism a signal which locks the operation lever in the direction of lifting the boom and allows it to move in the direction of turning down the boom.
- In the ACS mode having a number of automatic stop causes, an operator can visually recognize the automatic stop cause so that the crane operation is made very easy.
- In addition to setting the crane operation range for the crane turnover and failure limit, the boom movable range is also set so as not to make the boom contact with nearby buildings and the like. It is desirous if a warning is issued or the crane is automatically stopped if the boom is moved in the direction departing from the set movable range. In response to a depression of key A on the touch panel 310B, the display unit CPU enters the operation range limit display mode and displays a screen image such as shown in Fig. 5. The operation range limit display mode is indicated at 501. At the right side of the screen, the boom is schematically shown at B, and its distal end represented by a cross is indicated at P. The schematically displayed boom B follows the actual boom motion, and is controlled by the display unit CPU in-accordance with the operation parameters supplied from the main unit CPU. In setting the boom operation radius limit, an operator moves the boom to the limit point (the schematically displayed boom B also moves to the limit point). Upon depression of key B on the touch panel 310B, the non-operation range is set at the hatched area at the right of the boom distal end P. The operation radius R is displayed as the operation radius limit value at 507 within a rectangular frame. In addition to the radius limit (A), higher limit of angle (B), lower limit of angle (C), and lifting distance limit (D) may also be set. The characteristic point of this setting is that the boom is actually moved to the limit point and a key is depressed to set the non-operation range, instead of calculating and setting the numerical limit value without moving the boom to the limit point. This method of setting is advantageous in that the operation range can be determined by.moving the actual boom at the field location. The total operation limit range covering all the limits (A) to (D) such as the radius limit and the like is shown as (E). The boom is allowed to move within the area not hatched. Other numerical values representative of the actual boom are also displayed on the screen, the values including
boom angle 509,actual radius 508,boom length 506, andlifting distance 505. - At the left of the screen, a boom'slewing angle range limit is displayed. A boom B schematically displayed within an
area 511 follows the actual boom motion. The boom is moved to a-boom slewing angle limit point and the boom slewing angle range limit is set upon activation of a setting key on the touch panel. As the slewing angle range limit, one side of the boom may be set as indicated by (F) or both sides thereof may be set as indicated by (G). The outrigger setting status 512 previously set is also displayed on the boom slewing display area. - For reference purpose, a lifting
load 503 andmaximum load 504 are displayed on the screen. - The contents set during the operation range limit display mode are transferred in the form of numerical data from the display CPU to the main unit CPU. Assuming that the radius limit setting key is depressed under the conditions of the boom length ℓi and the boom angle θi, the limit radius numerical data obtained is RL = ℓi sin ℓi. The display unit CPU displays the hatched area on the right side of RL. If the boom moves toward the outside of the set operation limit range, the main unit CPU detects it so that a warning is issued or the crane is automatically stopped. An operator can visually recognize the motion of the boom within the allowable operation range as shown at (E) with respect to the non-operation range. It is a significant advantage that an operator can forecast the next stage boom motion.
- Upon activation of a mode selection key on the touch panel 310B, the display unit CPU enters the- target display mode which displays a screen image such as shown in Fig. 6. This target display mode is used when an operator cannot see a lifting load from the operator seat of the crane. Target index marks 605 and 606 indicated by solid lines in Fig. 6 are used for the setting of target points. The side of an innermost square of the target index mark corresponds to an actual length of 15 cm, that of the next square to an actual length of 30 cm, and that of the outermost square to an actual length of 60 cm. First, the crane is operated to move an actual lifting load to a target location which is set as a fist target upon activation of a key on the touch panel 310B. The first target is the origin of the coordinate system of the screen. A lifting
load position 607 is displayed on the screen at the.position apart from the origin by a certain distance. After setting the first target, an operator can recognize from the screen the positional relation of the lifting load with the target position without seeing the actual lifting load. It is common for a crane operation to slew the crane and transfer a lifting load from the first point to the second point. In such a case, thetarget index mark 605 is set at the first point, and thetarget index mark 606 is set at the second point. The index marks 605 and 606 have independent coordinate systems so that the distance between the target index marks 605 and 606 is not related to an actual distance therebetween. The frames indicated by a dotted line are the effective display area of the coordinate systems of the first and second points, the side of the frame corresponding to an actual length of, e.g., 100 cm. The position of a lifting load within this effective area is represented by mark. Even if the lifting load moves outside of this area, the mark as at 607' is displayed while moving along the dotted line so that the direction of the lifting load can be recognized by an operator. While seeing the mark on the screen relative to the target index mark, an operator can continue the transfer operation of the lifting load between the first and second points without actually seeing them. - The numerical values of the distances of the lifting load to the first and second points are displayed at the upper area of the screen at 603 and 604. For convenience purpose, the outrigger setting 609 and slewed
boom position 608 are displayed at the lower left area of the screen. For reference purpose, there are also displayed alifting load 612 andmaximum load 611.Reference numeral 601 indicates the display mode, and 602 indicates the safety numerical value for the crane operation during this display mode. - The actual position of a lifting load is calculated as lifting load position data at the main unit CPU by using the data from various sensors and the data on the crane structure, and the lifting load position data are supplied to the display unit CPU. Upon activation of a touch key on the display unit to set a certain position as the origin of the
target index mark 605, the display unit CPU uses the lifting load position data at that time as the origin of theindex mark 605. The display unit CPU displays the liftingload position 607 on the screen relative to the target index mark in accordance with a difference between the current lifting load position data and the lifting load position data at the time of setting. If the lifting load moves outside of the outermost square of the index mark, the display unit CPU displays the mark along the dottedline 613 to indicate the direction of the lifting load position. If the lifting load comes thereafter near the first or second point (i.e., comes within the outermost square of the index mark), then the position is again displayed. - An example of the display image shown in Fig. 6 provides two independent two-dimensional target index marks. It is also possible to display three or more index marks, or three-dimensional index marks.
- The lifting load capacity of a crane depends on the posture of the crane structure such as a front, rear, right and left position, so that the boom slewing of the crane should be paid attention. When the display unit CPU enters the limit load - slewing angle display mode upon key activation on the touch panel 310B, the display image as shown in Fig. 7 appears on the screen. A crane is schematically shown at the center on the screen, with the outrigger setting being displayed at 706. A boom is schematically displayed at 705 for indicating the actual boom length and boom slewed position. A
cross mark 704 at the distal end of the schematically displayedboom 705 indicates the current distal end of the boom. A solid line A or dotted line B indicates a safetyload range area 703. The operation is judged as safe so long as thecross mark 704 is displayed within the area. The safety load range on the screen changes with the set outrigger conditions. It is convenient for a crane operator to use this mode_when the crane is slewed. - For reference purpose, there are also displayed on the screen., a
mode indication 701, safetynumerical value 702, boom lengthnumerical value 707,boom operation status 708,boom angle 709,actual load 710, liftingdistance 711,operation radius 712, andmaximum load 713. - The typical parameter for a safety crane operation is a lifting load curve relative to the operation radius as shown in Fig. 2B. It is convenient for an operator to know the operation safety margin by visually recognizing the current operation status from this safety index curve. Upon activation of a mode switching key on the touch panel 310B, the display unit CPU enters the performance curve display mode and displays a'display image on the screen as shown in Fig. 8. The performance curve is collectively determined from a combination of crane-operation parameters such as the outrigger projection state, boom length, use or non-use of jib, slewing angle and the like. The main unit CPU uses such operation parameters, accesses the previously stored specific load data relative to the operation radius conforming with each crane specification, and sends the specific load data to the display unit CPU. The display unit CPU displays an operation
status performance curve 803 such as shown at the rightside on the screen. A + mark at 804 is displayed at the coordinate position determined by the current operation radius and actual load. An operator can know the operation margin from the position of the + mark relative to the curve. The numerical value of a marginal operation radius is displayed at 806 near the + mark. Thisnumerical value indication 806 moves as the +mark 804 moves so that the operator can easily recognize this value. - For reference purpose, during the performance curve display mode, there are displayed La current
actual load 811,boom slewing status 808,, outrigger setting 809, andboom operation status 810. - There is provided a total specific load table such as shown in Fig. 9A which is referred to for the crane safety operation. This table provides specific loads relative to operation radii conforming with each crane specification, when the outrigger setting status and boom length are given. While referring to the table, an operator can judge if, for example, the set outrigger and boom length are sufficient for the lifting load and operation radius of an operation to be carried out. Upon key activation on the touch panel 310B, the display unit CPU displays a display image as shown in Fig. 9B. This mode is referred to for an operation to be carried out so that in this mode the crane is essentially in a stop state. An operator first uses the ten
keys 310A to enter the numeral value of a desired boom length in anarea 902 where a cursor flashes. During this mode, the entered boom length is not set as an actual boom length value. Thereafter, the flashing cursor moves to anarea 903 wherein the numerical value of a desired slewing angle is entered. The outrigger status and the like have already been set during the previous operation status display mode (Fig. 3). Upon input of these values, the display unit CPU receives from the main unit CPU (or the display unit .CPU itself may have such data) maximum specific load data for the operation radius Rm for the given conditions, and displays them in a numerical value table 904. If the boom length and the like set for a desired operation are determined as improper upon reference to the displayed data, the table with these numerical values is reset, and a new boom length and the like are again entered. - For reference sake, during this mode there are displayed on the screen a
mode indication 901,boom operation status 907, outrigger setting 906, and slewingangle 905. - According to the structure of the apparatus of this embodiment,. the main unit controller and display unit controller each have its own CPU which executes an operation sequence running on a different program. The main unit controller receives the operation parameters from sensors and the operation range setting data from the display unit controller, calculates the actual load, operation radius, limit load and the like for the automatic stop control of the crane mechanism, and sends the calculated data to the display unit. The display unit controller displays the display image for a selected mode in accordance with the data from the main unit controller, modifies the displayed image in accordance with an input from a setting key, and sends the input setting data to the main unit controller. The main unit and display unit controllers carry out sequences running independently, so the transfer of commands and data therebetween is executed upon an interrupt.
- The operations sequences of the main and display unit controllers are shown in Figs. 10 and 11, respectively.
- The contents of each process of the main unit operation sequence are as follows.
- S101 (Display Reception Process): Data sent from the display unit is checked, and if the data is not processed, it is processed.
- S102 (Display Transmission Process): Data sent to the display unit is checked, and if the data is not sent as yet, the data is set at the transmission section to start transmitting.
- S103 (Actual Load Calculation Process): Constants necessary for the calculation of various actual loads are obtained from data representative of outrigger status, boom operation status, boom length and the like, and in accordance with the obtained constants, an actual load calculation is executed to obtain the actual load, radius, lifting distance and the like.
- S104 (Limit Load Calculation Process); A limit load is obtained in accordance with the outrigger status, boom operation status, boom length data, slewing angle data, boom angle data, radius data and the like.
- S105 (Timer Interrupt Process): An interrupt is executed at the predetermined interval to execute a predetermined process at the predetermined interval.
- S106 (Display Reception Interrupt Process): When one byte data is received from the display unit, an interrupt occurs so that the received data is stored in a reception data storage area.
- S107 (Display Transmission Interrupt Process): After completion of one byte data transmission activated at S102, an interrupt occurs to check the next data and transmit it.
- S108 (Top Terminal Reception Process): An interrupt occurs when data is received from the top terminal so that the-received data is stored in a reception data storage area.
- S109 (Analog Data Interrupt Process): An interrupt occurs after analog data is converted into digital data so that the digital data is stored in a storage area.
- The contents of each process of the display unit operation sequence are as follows.
- S111 (Boom Operation Status, Outrigger Status, Setting Mode): The number designated upon a key input during the routine for setting a display image shown in Fig. 3 is displayed reversely. After all key inputs are set, the display shown in Fig. 4 is automatically entered.
- S112 (ACS Mode): The display shown in Fig. 4 is set and numerical data sent from the main unit is set, i.e., the boom length data is set at 402, boom angle data at 407, radius data at 406, actual load at 410, limit load at 408, and lifting distance at 409. The bar graphs at 411 and 403 are set in accordance with the safety degree and the boom length data, respectively. The slewing bar at 405 is set in accordance with the slewing angle data. The automatic stop indication at 412 is given in accordance in response to an automatic stop.
- The display image of the boom changes with the boom operation to recognize the boom operation status set at Slll. The outrigger operation status set at Slll is also recognized.
- S113 (Operation Range Limit Mode): In this routine, the display shown in Fig. 5 is set and outputted.
- S114 (Target Mode): In this routine, the display shown in Fig. 6 is set and the target is shown in accordance with a key input.
- S115 (Limit Load - Slewing Angle Mode): In this routine, the display shown in Fig. 7 is set.
- S116 (Performance Display Mode): In this routine, the display shown in Fig. 8 is set.
- S117 (Performance Table Display Mode): In this routine, the display shown in Fig. 9B is set.
- S120 (Main Unit Transmission Interrupt Process): An interrupt occurs after one byte data is transmitted to the main unit. It is checked if there is any data to be transmitted to the main unit, and if there is a data, it is transmitted.
- S121 (Main Unit Reception Interrupt Process): An interrupt occurs after data sent from the main unit is received so that a process for storing the received data in a reception area is executed.
- 5122 (Timer Interrupt): A timer interrupt occurs at a predetermined interval and a timer flag is set to execute. the process corresponding to the set timer flag.
- In this embodiment, the interrupt process is constructed in a three hierarchical structure including (1) hard interrupt process, (2) soft interrupt
process 1 and (3) soft interruptprocess 2. The reason for providing this three hierarchical structure is as follows. In order to shorten the interrupt inhibition time, an interruption is inhibited during only the hard interrupt process which is set equal to or shorter than 800 microseconds. If the interrupt process takes too much time, the next interrupt may be inhibited. In order to avoid such inhibition, the three hierarchical structure is effective to make the interrupt inhibition time as short as possible. The hard interrupt is limited to a minimum such as for a data fetch process, and the next process is executed by a soft interrupt using a soft interrupt flag. -
