Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve operational feeling in an operational condition-setting device for setting the operational conditions for a textile machinery equipped with a plurality of spindles (yarn-processing devices). SOLUTION: One selected from a plurality of setting images is displayed on a display and a plurality of lines are arranged on the selected and displayed setting image and one of the plural lines is made selectively displayable. The selective display shifts down by one line, when a selection that shifting means shifts into operation mode. In the case that the selection shifting means shifts to the operation mode when the selective display is at the lowermost line, the display is switched to another display image, and the uppermost line is made the selective line. In the case that the operation mode of the selection shifting means is kept in the operation mode for a prescribed time, the selection shifting means is released from the operation mode, the selected display shifts down one-by-one until the display comes down to the lowermost. But when the selective display comes to the lowermost end, the selective display is retained on the lowermost, even when the operation mode of the selection shifting means is held continuously, and is not switched to the other setting images.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a technique of an operating condition setting device for setting various operating conditions of a textile machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art On a textile machine equipped with a plurality of yarn processing units (for example, an automatic winder or a false twisting machine), set values of operating conditions are displayed on a display and the set values can be changed if necessary. An operating condition setting device is provided so that it can be performed. In this device, as shown in FIG. 13, a plurality of lines corresponding to the operating condition setting items are displayed on the screen, and one of the lines is selected and displayed, and the selection movement for moving the selection display up and down is performed. Equipped with means. This selection moving means is composed of, for example, a pair of up and down direction keys, and an upward key "↑".
When is pressed once, the selection display moves up one line, and when the down key "↓" is pressed once, the selection display moves down one line. Note that FIG. 13 describes the change in the display screen when the “↓” key is pressed. The operator presses these keys "↑" and "↓" a proper number of times,
The selection display can be moved to the item to be set, and then the set value input means such as a ten-key pad can be operated to newly input the set value of the item to change the condition.

In addition, the selection display is moved by one line at the moment when the operation force is applied to the operation means (that is, the moment when the "↑" or "↓" key is depressed).
When the operating force is maintained for a predetermined time or longer (that is, when the key is pressed and released), the selection displays are displayed one by one at appropriate time intervals (t). A configuration that allows the user to move in the direction (hereinafter referred to as “configuration a”).
Called. ) Is also considered. In addition, in FIG. 14, "↓"
An example of operation is shown when the key is held down. This configuration is useful when the line near the upper end of the screen is currently selected and displayed, while the line of the setting item for which the condition is actually set is at the lower end of the screen. In this case, "↓"
You can move the selection display to the target line by pressing the key many times, but if you hold down the "↓" key once, the selection display will move one after another so that the selection display flows downward. Then, at a proper timing (that is, the timing when the selection display reaches the target line), the finger can be released from the "↓" key. This is a small number of key presses (only once if the key release timing is appropriate)
Since it means that the operator can be provided with a simple operation configuration capable of moving the selection display to the target line, the operator's operation feeling is good. It is also possible to move the selection display at a high speed downward when the key is released by setting the time interval t short. With this configuration, the selection display can be moved to a target line in a short time, and a smart operation feeling can be provided to the operator.

Here, in a textile machine of a type including a plurality of yarn processing units, it is general to manage these units in a centralized manner, and by its nature, the operating conditions that should be set up over a large number of items. Is common. Therefore, it is difficult to comprehensively display the set values of all operating conditions on a single screen because of the display space of the screen.
In view of this situation, it is conceivable that all the setting items can be displayed by allocating the large number of setting items to a plurality of setting screens and switching and displaying the plurality of setting screens as necessary.

Further, the operation means (for example, the "↑" and "↓" keys) for switching the items to be selectively displayed are
A configuration (hereinafter, referred to as “configuration b”) that also performs the function of switching the display of the setting screen is also conceivable. That is, when the "↓" key is pressed while the bottommost line is selected and displayed on a screen, the screen is switched to the next screen, and the topmost line is selected and displayed. When the "↑" key is pressed while the setting item located at the top of the screen is selected and displayed, the screen is switched to the previous screen and the line at the bottom of the screen is selected and displayed. . In FIG. 15, when the bottom line of the setting screen “screen 1” is selected and displayed, “↓” is displayed.
The operation when the key is pressed is shown, and as a result, the display is switched to the setting screen of "screen 2". With this configuration, since the operating means for switching the screen and moving the selection display are only two keys of "↑" and "↓",
It is excellent in that the configuration is simplified and the manufacturing cost is reduced, and the operator is not required to perform a complicated operation because the operation method is simple.

[0006]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As shown above,
Since the above-mentioned two configurations (a, b) are both useful, it is conceivable to construct a condition setting device by combining these two configurations in order to provide better operability. .

However, if the configurations a and b are simply combined, the following inconvenience will occur. That is, consider a case where a line near the upper end of the screen is currently selected and displayed, while a line for which conditions are to be actually set is located at or near the lower end of the screen. In this case, the operator moves the selection display to the target setting item by holding down the "↓" key, but if the timing to release the finger from the "↓" key is delayed, the next screen , And the selection display moves to the line at or near the top of the line. In other words, the operator, contrary to his intention, will be able to see another setting screen that lists unrelated setting items, return to the original setting screen using the "↑" key, and then It is necessary to select and display the setting items of. This may cause confusion and confusion for the operator, and the operation may be troublesome and complicated.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described. 1 is a front view showing an overall configuration of a textile machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an enlarged front view showing a man-machine interface of an operation data management device with an operation condition setting function, and FIG. It is a system block diagram of an operation data management device with an operating condition setting function. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a display screen example of the display. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a state in which one setting screen is selected and displayed from a plurality of setting screens. 6 shows a state in which the selection display moves down one line by pressing the "↓" key, FIG. 7 shows a state in which the setting screen is switched by pressing the "↓" key, and FIG. 8 shows "↓". It is the figure which showed a mode that the selection display moved downward one after another by pressing the "key. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a state in which the selection display reaches the bottom row and is stopped by pressing the “↓” key continuously.

A textile machine 1 to which the present invention is applied is shown in FIG. 1. This textile machine 1 has a plurality of yarn processing units 2, 2, ... The central control unit 3 is arranged in the. Each yarn processing unit 2 is provided with a unit controller 5 for controlling it, and each unit controller 5 and the central controller 3 are connected via a communication bus 6 so that control signals can be exchanged. It has become. Although illustration is omitted, the yarn processing unit 2 is provided with a plurality of devices and functions necessary for yarn processing.

On the front surface of the central controller 3, there is provided an operation data management device 4 with an operating condition setting function as an operating condition setting device of the present invention. The man-machine interface provided in the operation data management device 4 with the operating condition setting function is as shown in FIG. 2, and specifically, the display 10 as a display means for displaying data and the like, the selection operation described later and the screen switching. And a numeric keypad 12 as a set value input means for inputting numerical data to give an instruction to the apparatus, and a screen switching key 13 for screen switching. I will do it.

A system block diagram of the central control unit 3 is shown in FIG. 3, and the display 10, cursor keys 11 and ten keys 12 constituting the man-machine interface are shown.
The screen switching key 13 is a CPU (control device) as a control means.
The CPU 14 is connected to the unit controller 5 of each yarn processing unit 2 via the communication bus 6. The central control unit 3 is provided with a memory 15, which can be randomly accessed and stores various data such as set values of each operating condition and data of screen contents displayed on the display 10.

The central control unit 3 causes the display 10 to display the current operating conditions (trends of various data) of the yarn processing units 2 ... In real time.
Display mode (referred to as "operating status display" mode), or an input mode in which a plurality of yarn processing units 2 are grouped into one group and a set value for control is input in advance by the numeric keypad 12 before operation. ("Set value input"
(Referred to as a mode) and the like, and the mode can be switched according to the operation of the operator through a key, a switch or the like (not shown). As described above, in the present embodiment, in addition to the function of setting the operating condition, the operating data management function of displaying the operating condition is also used. Therefore, the device of reference numeral 4 is referred to as an operating data management device with an operating condition setting function. I am calling it. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may have only the operating condition setting function.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a display screen of the display 10 in the "set value input" mode. In the "set value input" mode, as shown in FIG. 5, one of the five setting screens can be selected and displayed, and each of the setting screens includes "screen 1" to "screen". 5 "
The headline such as is assigned. FIG. 4 is an example in which the setting screen of "screen 1" is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 4, in the upper edge area (referred to as "current headline display area") a of the display 10, which setting screen is currently displayed is set. By displaying the screen heading "Screen 1", the operator can recognize it. Further, in a part of the right edge of the display 10 (referred to as "navigation area"), five setting screen headings "Screen 1" to "Screen 5" are displayed vertically side by side. , The operator is able to easily recognize that there are four setting screens, "screen 2" to "screen 5", in addition to the currently displayed "screen 1" setting screen. .

A plurality of lines are arranged in the remaining area (referred to as "main area") c of the display 10, the operating condition setting item name is on the left side of each row, and the setting value is on the right side. Correspondingly displayed. This is the part for actually setting the operating conditions. The items in which the operating conditions can be set differ depending on the setting screen as shown in FIG. 5, and the operator appropriately switches the setting screen as necessary by the operation described later and displays it in the main area c of the display 10. , Set the target operating condition item. As a result, even in an application that requires a large number of setting items such as the setting of operating conditions of a textile machine, each of a large number of setting items can be set without making the screen of the display 10 too wide.

As one of the methods for switching the setting screen,
There is a method of using the screen switching key 13 described above. The screen switching keys 13 are a group of keys arranged vertically as shown in FIG. 2. When the operator presses one of the keys, the setting screen corresponding to the pressed key is immediately displayed. It is like this. There is also a method of using the cursor keys 11 as an operation method for switching the setting screens, but this will be described later in detail because it is closely related to the main part of the present invention.

In this embodiment, there are five setting screens as shown in FIG. 5 etc., however, it is arbitrary how many setting screens are provided, and the setting value is appropriately determined in consideration of the number of items in which setting values can be set. Good. Further, it may be arbitrarily determined to which setting screen each setting item is assigned. However, it is desirable to classify the setting items from the viewpoint of the function of the device provided in the yarn processing unit 2 and display the setting items that are common or highly related to each other in the same setting screen as much as possible. For example, in the case of an automatic winder equipped with a plurality of yarn processing units that unwind the yarns of a plurality of yarn supplying bobbins and remove the yarn defects into a winding package of a predetermined shape, the yarn processing unit 2 As one of the devices provided, there is a winding drum that rotates a package (not shown) by contacting and rotating the package. In this case, the "drum motor speed" related to the operating conditions of the drum motor that rotates the take-up drum.
Setting items such as "slow start time of drum motor" and "high speed reverse rotation speed of drum motor" are displayed together on the same setting screen, and setting items related to operating conditions of other motors are displayed on other setting screens. I will let you. The drum motor is rotated in the reverse direction in order to pull out the once wound yarn end at the time of yarn joining when the yarn defect is detected and cut. In this way, the operating conditions of the drum motor will be displayed together on a specific setting screen, reducing the labor and time required for the operator to find the desired setting item, and The feeling is good.

In this case, it is preferable that the heading of each setting screen is not "screen 1" or the like, but "drum motor" or "OO motor" or the like. This allows the operator to display the setting screen with the heading "Drum motor" when he / she wants to set the setting items related to the drum motor, for example. In the area b, easy-to-understand headings such as "drum motor", "OO motor", etc. are enumerated, and the setting screen can be selected from the heading by using the screen switching key 13 or the like, which is intuitive. It is possible to provide an easy-to-understand operation configuration. In addition,
The heading on the setting screen is not limited to a heading using words or numbers. For example, a headline, which is generally called an icon, representing the operation target object with a small picture or symbol may be displayed.

As shown in FIG. 4, in the present embodiment, of the plurality of lines displayed in the main area c of the display 10, one selected line is displayed in black and white, and this line is currently displayed. The operator is allowed to recognize that it is selected (selection display s). In the state of FIG. 4, the second line “ΔΔ speed” is selected and displayed. This means that the setting value of “ΔΔ speed” can be set by inputting the ten key 10 in this state. means.

The selection display s may be a display in which one selected line is distinguishable from other lines and can be recognized by the operator. In addition to the black-and-white inverted display as in the present embodiment. Various selection display methods are conceivable, such as coloring the line in a mesh shape, underlining or bolding the line, or changing the color of the character itself. Further, not only the entire line but also a part of the line may be highlighted so that the line is selectively displayed. For example, various methods such as emphasizing only the setting item on the left side, emphasizing only the setting value on the right side, or emphasizing the setting item and the setting value with different colors are conceivable.

The cursor key 11 for moving the selection display s described above up and down will be described. This cursor key 11 includes a "↑" key 11u and a "↓" key 11d which are selection moving means. The "↑" key 11u has a function of moving the selection display up by one line.
Each of d has a function of moving the selected display downward by one line. Both of the keys 11u and 11d are configured as push button switches, and can be switched between a state in which they are pressed by a finger (operation state) and a state in which they are not pressed (operation release state). Each of the keys 11u and 11d is configured to be able to electrically detect whether it is in the operation state or the operation release state, and sends the detection signal to the CPU 14.

FIG. 6 shows an operation example when the "↓" key 11d is pressed, and when the "↓" key 11d is pressed in the state where the selection display s is on the first line, the selection display s is pressed. Moves to the second line. The "↑" key 11u operates exactly opposite to the "↓" key 11d, and when the selection display s is on the second line, the "↑" key 11u.
When is pressed, the selection display s moves to the first line.

The operator uses the "↑" key 11u /
By pressing the "↓" key 11d an appropriate number of times, the selection display s is moved up and down to the desired setting item (target line) to be set, and then the set value can be input and set by operating the ten keys 12. I have to.

Further, as shown below, "↑" key 11u
The "↓" key 11d also has a function of switching the setting screen. Specifically, as shown in the operation example of FIG. 7, a certain setting screen (“screen 1” in FIG. 7)
If there is a selection display s at the bottom line of ",""↓"
When the key 11d is pressed, the display is switched to the next setting screen (“screen 2”), and the uppermost line is selectively displayed. On the other hand, although not shown in this case, if the "↑" key is pressed when the selection display s is at the uppermost line on a certain setting screen (for example, "screen 2"), the previous setting screen (" The display is switched to the screen 1)), and the bottom line is selected and displayed.

As a result, the switching of the display of the setting screen, which is often performed in association with the movement of the selection display s, does not require the finger to reach the screen switching key 13 and the selection display s is displayed. "↑" key 11 to move up and down
It is possible to provide a simple operation configuration that can be performed by the u / "↓" key 11d.

Since the function of the "↑" key 11u / "↓" key 11d is to move the selection display s up / down by one line, for example, when it is desired to move the selection display s down by 5 lines. The operator may repeat the operation of pressing and releasing the “↓” key 11d five times. However, on the other hand, "↑" key 1
The 1u / "↓" key 11d also has a function of moving the selection display s up / down one line after another by holding the pressed state. That is, the "↑" key 11u,
The selection display s moves by one line in the corresponding direction at the moment when any one of the "↓" keys 11d is pressed, but if the pressed state continues for a predetermined time or longer, the pressed state is released. Until then, the selection display s is switched line by line in that direction one after another at equal time intervals. An example of this operation is shown in FIG. 8, and when the "↓" key 11d is pressed while the selection display s is on the first line, the selection display s moves to the second line below by one line as described above. And "↓" key 11
If the pressed state of d is continued, the selection display is the third line,
The 4th line, the 5th line, and so on, the position is moved down one after another.

Therefore, when the operator wants to move the selection display s down by five lines, the operator can achieve the purpose by repeating the operation of pressing and releasing the "↓" key 11d five times as described above. "↓" key 1
Press and hold 1d for an appropriate period of time so that the selection display s will flow downward one line at a time, and release the "↓" key 11d when the selection display s comes five lines down to the target line. It will be good. This means that it is possible to provide a simple operation configuration that can save the number of times the “↓” key 11d is pressed.

However, in this embodiment, the "↑" key 11u /
When the selection display s is moved by continuously pressing the "↓" key 11d as described above, even when the selection display s comes to the uppermost line / the lowermost line, the "↑" key 11u /
Unless the "↓" key 11d is released and pressed again, the display is not switched to another setting screen. An example of operation for explaining this is shown in FIG.
When the selection display s moving downward one after another by continuously pressing the “↓” key 11d on the setting screen of “Screen 1” reaches the bottom line of the setting screen, the “↓” key is used thereafter. No matter how long 11d is pressed, the selection display s does not move from the bottom line, and the setting screen does not switch from "screen 1". When it is desired to switch the setting screen to "screen 2" from this state, the "↓" key 11d is once released, and the "↓" key 11d is depressed again. Then, the display can be switched to the "screen 2" just as in the case of FIG.

With this configuration, the target setting item is located at the bottom line of the setting screen, and the "↓" key 1 is moved to the target line.
When trying to move the selection display s by pressing and holding 1d, even if the timing of releasing the finger from the "↓" key 11d is delayed, the setting screen is switched and the operator is confused or confused. The situation that causes is avoided.

Therefore, when the desired setting item is at the bottom line of the setting screen, if the "↓" key 11d is released for a sufficiently long time without worrying about the timing of releasing the key, the purpose is The selection display s can be extremely easily and surely moved to the line. If the desired setting item is one or two lines above the bottom line of the setting screen, first press and hold the "↓" key 11d for a long enough time to select the bottom line. After moving the display s once, "↑" key 1
By pressing 1u once or twice, the selection display s can be easily moved to the target setting item.

[↑] key 11u / [↓] described above
A specific flow of processing for achieving the function of the key 11d will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIG. 10 and subsequent figures. FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing the main flow of processing related to the “↑” and “↓” keys, and FIG. 11 is a flow chart showing a subroutine relating to the “↓” key, FIG.
2 is a flowchart showing a subroutine regarding the "↑" key.

The main flow is shown in FIG. 10. In this flow, initializing processing is first performed (steps 101 and 102), and then step 1
The flow is such that the main loop of 03.104 is repeated.

The main loop will be described. Step 103
Shown in FIG. 8 is a defined subroutine that defines the processing related to the “↓” key 11d, and in step 104 is a defined subroutine that defines the processing related to the “↑” key 11u. In the main loop, by repeating the process of alternately executing these two types of subroutines, the "↑" key 11u or the "↓" key 11d
Whether or not is pressed is determined after an appropriate time, and based on the determination result, processing such as movement of selection display and switching of display of setting screen is performed as necessary.

Next, the flow of the "↓" key processing subroutine shown in step 103 will be described with reference to FIG.

When the process is transferred from the main flow to this subroutine, it is first determined whether or not the "↓" key 11d is currently pressed (step 201).
If it is determined that the "↓" key 11d has not been pressed, it is not necessary to move the selection display or switch the display of the setting screen in the first place. Has not been performed] is stored as the previous value (step 202) and the subroutine is exited. The previous value of the "↓" key in this step 202 is appropriately secured as a storage area inside the memory 15 shown in FIG.
The value written in 2 is the CPU that is the control means in the next subroutine processing in the main loop.
14 as needed. In addition, at the time of initialization processing before entering the main flow of FIG.
The previous value of the "↓" key is initialized to [not pressed] (step 101).

In the judgment processing of step 201,
When it is determined that the "↓" key 11d is currently pressed, it is determined whether the currently selected and displayed line is the bottom line or not (step 203). When the selection display s is in a line other than the bottommost line, the selection display s of the current line is canceled (step 204), and the line immediately below is selected and displayed (step 205). This allows the selection display s
Can be displayed to the operator that has moved down one line. Further, the current state of the "↓" key 11d, that is, "pressed" is stored as the previous value (step 202), and the subroutine is exited.

If it is determined in the determination processing of step 203 that the selection display s is at the bottom line, CP
U14 refers to the previous value of the "↓" key stored in the memory 15 and determines whether the previous value is [pressed] or [not pressed] (step 20).
6). When the previous value is [not pressed], the "↓" key 11d was not pressed in the previous loop, that is, the "↓" key 11d is currently being pressed (operation state). It means that it has been switched. In this case, the next setting screen is switched and displayed (step 20
7) Then, the uppermost line of the setting screen after the switching is selected and displayed (step 208). When the previous value is [pressed], it means that the "↓" key 11d was also pressed in the previous loop, that is, the "↓" key 11d was kept pressed. At this time, the processes of steps 207 and 208 are not performed. That is,
The setting screen is not switched, and the selection display s remains stopped at the bottom line. Even if the previous value is [pressed] [not pressed], the contents of the previous value are stored in the current state of the "↓" key 11d, that is, "pressed". The process is repeated (step 202) and the subroutine is exited.

By constructing the subroutine related to the "↓" key 11d as described above, when the "↓" key 11d is pressed, as long as the current selection display s is in a line other than the bottommost line, the main Step 204 for each loop
The processing of 205 is performed, and as a result, the processing in which the selection display s is switched downward by one row (toward the bottommost row) and moved downward is repeated. Then, when the selection display s is at the bottommost row, the "↓" key 11d is not pressed in the previous loop but is pressed in the current loop, and steps 207 and 20 are performed.
The switching process of the setting screen of No. 8 is performed. Therefore,
Even if the selection display s reaches the bottommost row by pressing and holding the "↓" key 11d and then the "↓" key 11d is continuously pressed, in this case, the switching process of the setting screen is also the selection display s. The moving process of is also not performed.

It should be noted that the time interval for executing the main loop shown in FIG.
This affects the speed at which the selection display s is sequentially switched line by line. If you set this time interval too short,
Even if the "↓" key 11d is held down slightly, the selection display s immediately flows downward at high speed. on the other hand,
If the time interval is set too long, the downward movement speed of the selection display s when the "↓" key is held down becomes slower, giving the operator a heavy or frustrating feeling. It is desirable to appropriately set the above-mentioned time interval in consideration of the balance of the above conflicting circumstances.

In this embodiment, if the "↓" key 11d is pressed and held for one main loop time, the selection display s
Is configured to begin the downward movement. However, the selection display s may be configured to start moving downward only for a longer time, for example, by holding the “↓” key 11d for a time corresponding to ten times the main loop. This configuration can be achieved as follows, for example. That is, a separate count variable is prepared, and when the "↓" key 11d is switched from being not pressed to being pressed, the selection display s is moved down by one line and the count variable increment is started. To do so. Then, when the "↓" key 11d continues to be pressed, the count variable is incremented for each loop (at this stage, the selection display s is still held at that position), and the "↓" key 11d. When is released, the count variable is reset. Then, only when the count variable reaches a predetermined value (for example, 10), the process of moving the selection display downward by one line is performed for each loop. By doing this, by shortening the time interval of the main loop, it is possible to speed up the downward movement of the selection display when the "↓" key 11d is held down, thereby providing a smart operation feeling, and at the same time, "↓" Even if the "" key is pressed a little longer, it is possible to avoid the selection display from flowing down easily and to ensure the certainty of the operation.

The "↑" key processing subroutine shown in FIG. 12 is selected by selecting the "↑" key 11u instead of the "↓" key 11d as the key for determining whether or not the key is pressed in the subroutine of FIG. Up and down in the moving direction of the display s,
Also, since it can be said that only before and after the switching of the setting screen is reversed, detailed description will be omitted. The previous value of the "↑" key in step 302 is initialized to "not pressed" in the initialization process of the main flow of FIG. 10 (step 102).

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the configurations of the above embodiments. For example, as a means for moving the selection display, the "↑" key 1
Instead of the 1u / "↓" key 11d, a lever that can be tilted up and down may be used.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above,
The following effects are achieved.

That is, as described in claim 1, a textile machine operating condition setting device for setting operating conditions of a textile machine having a plurality of yarn processing units, wherein a plurality of operating condition set values are displayed. One setting screen is selected and displayed from the setting screens, and a plurality of lines are arranged in the selected and displayed setting screen, and one of the plurality of lines of the displayed setting screen is selected and displayed. The display means, the selection moving means operated to move the selection display to the lower row, the set value input means for inputting the set value corresponding to the row to be selectively displayed, Since the control means for performing the control shown in (a) to (c) on the display means is provided, the target line is the bottom line (or several lines above the bottom line) of the setting screen. Line), select and hold the selection movement method When trying to move the display downwards one after another to reach the target line, even if the timing for releasing the finger from the selection moving means is delayed, it will switch to another setting screen and the operator will be confused. The situation that causes confusion is avoided. Therefore, when the target line is the bottom line of the setting screen, if you do not worry about the timing to release the key and you apply the operating force to the selection moving means for a sufficiently long time, the selection display will be displayed on the target line. Can be moved without fail, and the reliability of operation is extremely good. Also,
If the target line is a few lines above the bottom line of the setting screen, first apply the operating force to the selection moving means for a sufficiently long time to move the selection display to the bottom line. Then you can reach the target line up to a few lines, and then move to the target line again. On the other hand, if you want to switch the display to another setting screen, first apply the operating force to the selection moving means for a sufficiently long time to move the selection display to the bottom line and then apply the operating force from the selection moving means. Once released, the operating force should be applied again. In this way, a simple and reliable operation configuration can be provided as a whole, and the operator's impression on the operation is good.

As described in claim 2, there is provided a selection moving means operated to move the selection display to the upper line,
Since the control means performs the above-described controls (d) to (f) on the display means, the target line is the topmost line (or several lines below the topmost line of the setting screen). Line), the timing of releasing the finger from the selection moving means is delayed when trying to move the selection display upward one after another by pressing and holding the selection moving means to reach the target line. Even if it happens, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the operator is confused or confused by switching to another setting screen. Therefore, when the target line is the top line of the setting screen, if the operation force is applied to the selection moving means for a sufficiently long time without worrying about the timing of releasing the key, the selection display will be displayed on the target line. Can be moved without fail, and the reliability of operation is extremely good. If the target line is a few lines below the top line of the setting screen, first apply the operating force to the selection moving means for a sufficiently long time to display the selection display on the top line. If you move it, you can reach the target line up to several lines, and then move to the target line again. On the other hand, if you want to switch the display to another setting screen, apply the operating force to the selection moving means for a sufficiently long time to move the selection display to the topmost row, and then apply the operating force from the selection moving means. Once released, the operating force should be applied again. In this way, a simple and reliable operation configuration can be provided as a whole, and the operator's impression on the operation is good.

As described in claim 3, a headline distinguishable from other setting screens is assigned to each of the plurality of setting screens, and a heading of the plurality of setting screens is provided in a part of the display area of the display means. Since they are listed and displayed, the operator can intuitively and easily recognize that there are other setting screens in addition to the setting screen currently displayed on the display means.
It is possible to reduce the case where the operator is lost in searching for the setting item.
This effect is particularly remarkable when setting items that have common points and are highly related to each other are put together in one setting screen and words or the like expressing the common points are adopted as a heading.
