This is a kind data reading means for reading out the kind data 25, 26,... Stored in the kind data storage means 13 for each kind number and registered when setting each value of the kind data in 5 ... 6. The kind data 25, 26,... Are classified by kind number as shown in FIG. 3, are stored in the kind data storage means 13, and each item P () for controlling the temperature of each part in the oven for baking bread. Proportional), I (integral), D (differential), SP (set value).

Next, the operation will be described. FIG. 4 shows a kind data management apparatus 1 in this kind data management system.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation when writing the type data 25, 26... Stored in the type data storage means 13 to the controllers 4, 5,.

First, the operation of collecting the type data 25, 26... By the type data management device 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. To collect this kind data, first, a kind number corresponding to the kind of bread is input and set from the input means 3 in the kind data management device 1 (step S).
T1). This kind number is predetermined in advance, for example, 1 when the kind of bread is croissant, 2 when it is bread, 3 when it is sweet bread, and the like.

Next, P (proportional), I (integral), and D (differential) for controlling the temperature of each part in the oven for baking the kind of bread set in step ST1. , SP (setting value) is input and set from the input means 3 (step ST2). At this time, the bread of the kind corresponding to the kind number set in the step ST1 is in a state of being actually baked in the oven, and the controllers 4, 5,... The controllers 4, 5,... 6 perform P (proportional), I (integral),
The values of D (derivative) and SP (set value) are calculated and held as product data.

For this reason, it is determined whether the controllers 4, 5,..., 6 have completed the auto-tuning for the temperature control of each section in the oven (step ST).
3) If not completed, wait for auto tuning to be completed. On the other hand, if the auto-tuning has been completed, then the type data reading means 24 reads the type data of the item name set in step ST2, for example, P (proportional), by the communication means 14 through the communication line 7. 6 are read out (step ST4) and received (step ST5). Then, the kind data storing means 13 stores and registers the kind data of the received item name as kind data of the kind number set in the step ST1 in the structure shown in FIG. 3 (step ST6).

Next, it is determined whether there are any remaining items (step ST7). In this case, P (proportional), I
(Integral), D (differential), SP (set value)
Since the items of (integration), D (derivative), and SP (set value) remain, the process returns to step ST2, and the item name I (integration) is input and set from the input means 3 this time. Hereinafter, the respective processes from step ST3 to step ST7 are executed, and the values of all the item names are read out from the controllers 4, 5,... 6, and the type data storage means 13 is set in the step ST1 with the structure shown in FIG. It is stored and registered as type data of the specified type number.

When collecting the type data of another type, a type number corresponding to the type is newly set in step ST1, and the processing from step ST2 to step ST7 is executed. At this time, step ST
The bread of the kind corresponding to the kind number set in 1 is in a state of being actually baked in the oven, and each of the controllers 4, 5... 6 controls the oven so that the bread of the kind is baked in the best condition. Each of the controllers 4, 5,... 6 calculates the values of P (proportional), I (integral), D (differential) and SP (set value) for the product by an auto-tuning function. keeping.
The above is the process of setting the item name of the type data and reading the data. Since the item of the type data stored in the type data storage means has been defined in advance, the processes in steps ST1, ST3 to ST6 in FIG. Through the processing, it is also possible to read all of these distinguished items. That is, steps ST2 and ST2 in FIG.
7 does not exist.

As described above, the items P (proportional), I (integral),
The values of D (differential) and SP (set value) are the product data 25 and 2
6 and are stored in the type data storage means 13 for each type number corresponding to the type as shown in FIG.

Next, the operation of writing the type data into the controllers 4, 5,..., 6 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In writing this kind data,
First, the input of the type number is set by the input means 3 of the type data management device 1 (step ST11). When the kind number is input and set, the kind data reading means 24, based on the kind data 25, 6... Shown in FIG. The type data is read out (step ST1).
2). Next, the control means 11 of the product data management device 1
The type data is written into each of the controllers 4, 5... 6 via the communication line 7 by the communication means 14 (step ST13). The completion of the writing of the type data in each of the controllers 4, 5,... 6 is confirmed (step ST14).

In the above description, each controller 4, 5,..., 6 controls the temperature of each part in the oven. However, the present invention is not limited to the oven, and the physical quantity to be controlled is limited to the temperature. However, the present invention can be applied to anything that is subject to automatic control.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, P (proportional), I (integral), D
Since the type data management device 1 can read and collect each value of (differential) and SP (set value) via the communication line 7, the P (proportional), I (integral), D (differential),
The labor of collecting each value of SP (set value) and inputting it to the type data management device is eliminated, and P (proportional), I (integral), and D determined by the controllers 4, 5,...
There is an effect that each value of (differential) and SP (set value) can be registered accurately and quickly in the product data management device 1.
