  The setting information table 521 will be described with reference to FIG. The sewing machine 1 displays a plurality of setting information for setting a plurality of operating conditions of the sewing machine 1 on the display unit 96, and can set the current setting value of the setting information based on an instruction input by the operation panel 98. The ROM 52 stores setting information in association with items as a setting information table 521. There are four types of items in this example: device relation, thread picking relation, pedal relation, and panel operation. The setting information in this example includes an identifier, content, value, and value content. The identifier is a character string for identifying setting information, and is indicated by “No” in the figure. The identifier in this example is a three-digit number. The content represents an object set by the setting information, that is, an operation condition. There is a one-to-one correspondence between identifiers and content. The value indicates a value that the setting information can take. The value content represents the setting content indicated by the value. As shown in FIG. As setting information 500, information indicating whether or not the thread gripping device 40 is used is stored. ON indicates that the identifier is No. The registration order of the setting information 500 is the first value, and the content of the value is “use thread clamp”. OFF indicates that the identifier is No. The registration order of the setting information of 500 is the second value, and the content of the value is “do not use thread clamp”. No. The settable values of 500 setting information are two values, ON and OFF, but the number of values that can be set as the setting value of one setting information varies depending on the setting information.

  The related information table 522 will be described with reference to FIG. The ROM 52 stores, for each of the plurality of setting information, the correspondence between the target information that is one of the plurality of setting information and the related information that is other setting information related to the target information. The ROM 52 stores current setting value candidates of the related information for each of a plurality of setting values that can be set in the target information. In addition to the correspondence between the target information and the related information, the ROM 52 determines whether the setting value of the related information needs to be changed when the setting value of the target information is changed, and whether the setting value of the related information is changed. The influence information that is information indicating whether or not the setting value of the information needs to be changed is stored.

  As illustrated in FIG. 6, the ROM 52 stores, as the related information table 522, related information No, candidates, and influences in association with the settable values in the target information indicated by No. The related information is setting information that affects a value that can be taken as a setting value in accordance with the setting value of the target information. The candidate indicates an optimum value that can be taken by the related information. The influence indicates whether or not the other setting value needs to be changed when one setting value of the target information and the related information is changed. FIG. 6 shows the influence information distinguished by three types of arrows. The arrow toward the right in the figure indicates that when the target information is changed, the related information needs to be changed. The arrow toward the left indicates that the target information needs to be changed when the related information is changed. The left and right arrows indicate that when the target information is changed, the related information needs to be changed, and when the related information is changed, the target information needs to be changed. For example, the identifier No. The related information when the setting value of the target information 500 is ON is the identifier No. 100, 566, and 582. At that time, no. The setting value candidate of the setting information 566 is ON. The operator is No. When changing the setting value of the target information of 500, No. Each of the related information of 100, 566, and 582 also needs to be changed. The operator is No. When changing the setting information of 566, the operator 500 needs to be changed.

  The current setting value table 541 will be described with reference to FIG. The nonvolatile memory 54 stores the current setting value for each of the plurality of setting information. The current set value can be changed in accordance with an instruction input from operation panel 98. The setting information is also referred to as a memory switch (hereinafter referred to as MSW). MSW is a software switch for setting operating conditions of the sewing machine 1. The sewing machine 1 controls the operation of the sewing machine 1 according to the current setting value of the MSW. In FIG. 7, the nonvolatile memory 54 has the identifier No. as the current set value table 541. OFF is stored as a setting value of 500 target information.

  The MSW mode process will be described with reference to FIGS. When the operator operates the power switch 77 to start the sewing machine 1, the CPU 51 reads the MSW program from the ROM 52 and executes this processing.

  The CPU 51 determines whether an instruction to execute the MSW mode has been acquired (S1). The operator inputs an instruction to select the MSW mode on the operation panel 98. If the CPU 51 has not acquired an instruction to execute the MSW mode (S1: NO), the CPU 51 determines whether or not an end instruction has been acquired (S2). The operator can input a termination instruction by operating the power switch 77 or the operation panel 98. CPU51 returns a process to S1, when the instruction | indication of completion | finish is not acquired (S2: NO). When the CPU 51 obtains an end instruction (S2: YES), it ends the MSW mode process.

  When the CPU 51 obtains an instruction to execute the MSW mode (S1: YES), it obtains the previous value stored in the nonvolatile memory 54 (S3). The previous value includes the display type and the target information No. The sewing machine 1 of the present example can display target information in three types of display types: detailed display, list display, and correlation diagram display. The detailed display is a display format in which the identifier, content, value, value content, and current set value of the target information are displayed in the same screen. List display is a display format in which identifiers, content of values, and current set values are displayed as a list on the same screen for each of target information and related information. The correlation diagram display is a display format in which the identifier and the current setting value are displayed in one block for each of the target information and the related information, and each block is displayed as a correlation diagram connected using the influence information.

  The CPU 51 specifies target information based on the instruction (first instruction) input from the operation panel 98 (S4). When acquiring the previous value in S3, the CPU 51 identifies the target information acquired as the previous value in S4 (S4). The CPU 51 specifies the type of display (S5, S7). When the CPU 51 specifies the target information acquired as the previous value in S4, the CPU 51 specifies the display type based on the previous value in S5. When the previous value is a detailed display (S5: YES), the CPU 51 executes a detailed display process (S6). When the previous value is list display (S5: NO, S7: YES), the CPU 51 executes list display processing (S8). When the previous value is a correlation diagram display (S5: NO, S7: NO), the CPU 51 executes a correlation diagram display process (S9).

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the detailed display process, the CPU 51 performs detailed display on the target information specified in S4 of FIG. 8 (S21). When the target information No is 500, the CPU 51 displays the screen 101 of FIG. The screen 101 has columns 102 to 105 and input keys 106 to 112. A column 102 indicates target information being displayed. It shows that 500 MSWs are displayed in detail. A column 103 indicates the No and contents of the target information. A column 104 indicates the content, value, and content of the target information. A column 105 indicates the current setting value of the target information. The input key 106 inputs a return instruction. The return instruction instructs to end the MSW mode and return to the processing mode executed before starting the MSW mode. The input key 107 inputs a list display instruction for the target information being displayed. The input key 108 inputs a correlation diagram display instruction for the target information being displayed. The input key 109 is used to input an instruction for setting information with the previous No as target information. The input key 110 inputs an instruction for setting information with No as the next setting information. The input key 111 is used to input an instruction to set the set value that is one before the registration order as the current set value. The input key 112 is used to input an instruction to set the set value that is one after the registration order as the current set value. No. Since the target information 500 can be set to ON or OFF as the current setting value, the CPU 51 changes the current setting value from OFF to ON regardless of whether the input key 111 is selected or the input key 112 is selected. It becomes an instruction to do.

  The CPU 51 determines whether or not an instruction to change No has been acquired from the input key 109 or 110 (S22). When the CPU 51 acquires an instruction to change No (S22: YES), the CPU 51 obtains the changed No based on the target information No and the input signal of the input key 109 or 110 (S23), and displays on the display unit 96. Is updated (S24). At this time, the changed No setting information becomes the target information. For example, when the operator selects the input key 109 once while displaying the screen 101 of FIG. Using the setting information of 499 as target information, the content, value, and value content of the target information are read from the ROM 52. The CPU 51 starts from the nonvolatile memory 54 with No. The current setting value of the setting information of 499 is read. The CPU 51 updates the screen 101 based on the read information. The CPU 51 returns the process to S22.

  If the CPU 51 has not acquired an instruction to change No (S22: NO), the CPU 51 determines whether an instruction to change the current setting value of the target information has been acquired from the input key 111 or 112 (S25). . When the CPU 51 obtains an instruction to change the current setting value of the target information (S25: YES), based on the current setting value of the target information, the input signal of the input key 111 or 112, and the registration order stored in the ROM 52, The current setting value of the target information is changed and set (S26), and the display on the display unit 96 is updated (S27). For example, when the operator selects the input key 112 once while the screen 101 of FIG. The current setting value of the setting information 500 is set to ON, which is the next setting value in the registration order. The CPU 51 updates the column 105 of the screen 101 based on the current setting value after setting. The CPU 51 returns the process to S22.

  If the CPU 51 has not acquired an instruction to change the current setting value of the target information (S25: NO), it is determined whether or not selection of any of the input keys 106 to 108 has been detected (S28, S30, S32). ). When the CPU 51 detects selection of the input key 107 (S28: YES), the CPU 51 obtains a list display instruction regarding target information being displayed (S29). When the CPU 51 detects selection of the input key 108 (S28: NO, S30: YES), the CPU 51 obtains a correlation diagram display instruction regarding the displayed target information (S31). When the CPU 51 detects selection of the input key 106 (S28: NO, S30: NO, S32: YES), the CPU 51 obtains the current value and a return instruction (S33). The current value is a detailed display indicating the No of the target information being displayed and the type of display this time. When the CPU 51 does not detect any selection of the input keys 106 to 108 (S28: NO, S30: NO, S32: NO), the process returns to S22. After any of S29, S31, and S33, the CPU 51 ends the detailed display process and returns to the MSW mode process of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the CPU 51 determines whether or not an instruction to return in the detailed display process has been acquired (S10). If the CPU 51 has not acquired a return instruction (S10: NO), the process returns to S4.

In the list display, the sewing machine 1 distinguishes the target information and the related information from other setting information by changing the display mode in the setting information of the same item. The operator can check the setting information of the same item in the list display, and further check the related information of the target information in the list. Therefore, the sewing machine 1 can improve the convenience when the operator confirms the target information and the related information.

  The sewing machine of the present invention can be variously modified in addition to the above embodiment. The sewing machine 1 may be a sewing machine having setting information, and may be another sewing machine such as a boring machine. The display unit only needs to be able to display an image. You may change suitably the arrangement | positioning of a display part. You may change suitably the layout of the screen which the display part 96 displays. The first storage means and the second storage means may be other storage media such as a hard disk device. The first storage means and the second storage means may be the same storage medium such as the nonvolatile memory 54. The setting information table 521 in FIG. 5, the related information table 522 in FIG. 6, and the current setting value table 541 in FIG. 7 may be appropriately changed according to the processing to be executed and the configuration of the storage device. For example, the related information table 522 in FIG. 6 stores related information according to the setting value of the target information, but may store related information according to the target information. The input unit is not limited to the operation panel 98, and may be another input device such as a keyboard and a microphone.

  A program including a command for executing the MSW mode process of FIG. 8 may be stored in a storage device included in the sewing machine 1 before the sewing machine 1 executes the program. Each of the program acquisition method, the acquisition route, and the device storing the program may be changed as appropriate. The sewing machine 1 may receive a program executed by the processor from another device via a cable or wireless communication and store the program in a storage device such as a flash memory. Other devices include, for example, a PC and a server connected via a network.

  Each step of the MSW mode processing in FIG. 8 is not limited to the example executed by the CPU 51, and another electronic device (for example, ASIC) may execute part or all of the processing. Each step of the above process may be distributed by a plurality of electronic devices (for example, a plurality of CPUs). Each step of the sewing process of the above embodiment can be changed in order, omitted, or added as necessary. The scope of the present invention is based on an instruction from the processor of the sewing machine 1, and an operating system (OS) or the like operating on the sewing machine 1 performs part or all of the actual processing, and the functions of the above-described embodiments are performed by the processing. A mode to be realized is also included.

  The display mode of the target information and the related information is not limited to the list display and the correlation diagram, and may be changed as appropriate. The sewing machine 1 may be capable of displaying only one of the list display and the correlation diagram display. The sewing machine 1 does not have to display details.

  Items displayed by the sewing machine 1 in the list display and the correlation diagram display may be appropriately changed. In addition to displaying the influence information with arrows, the display mode of the influence information may be changed as appropriate. The influence information may be omitted as necessary. When the sewing machine 1 does not display the influence information, the CPU 51 may display on the display unit 96 a correlation diagram in which blocks indicating the target information and the related information are connected by line segments. The sewing machine 1 may display only the target information and the related information in a list display. The sewing machine 1 may display influence information and designation information in a list display.

  The CPU 51 may omit the process of acquiring the presence / absence of the second related information in S62 and S111. The CPU 51 may display the correlation diagram on the display unit 96 without distinguishing the presence or absence of the second related information. CPU51 may perform the process which acquires the presence or absence of 2nd relevant information between S40 and S41 of the list display process of FIG. The CPU 51 may display the related information (first related information) in a list by distinguishing the presence or absence of the second related information in S41. The presence / absence of the second related information is distinguished by the background color of the block or line, and may be distinguished by a display mode such as a character color. The CPU 51 may acquire the second related information and display it on the display unit 96. The CPU 51 acquires the second related information, displays the second related information when there is a space for displaying the second related information on the display unit 96, and displays the second related information when there is no space for displaying the second related information. The related information may be displayed by distinguishing the presence or absence of information.

  CPU51 may acquire No which a worker inputs with an input part, and may specify object information. CPU51 may acquire the value (for example, ON or OFF) which an operator inputs with an input part directly, and may specify the present setting value after change of object information or related information. In the list display process of FIG. 11, the CPU 51 displays the setting information for each item, but the setting information may not be displayed for each item.

  The CPU 51 does not have to accept the optimization instruction in S85 of FIG. When the CPU 51 acquires the optimization instruction (S85: YES), the CPU 51 changes the current setting value of the related information that needs to be changed when the target information is changed based on the influence information, and changes the target information when the target information is changed. It is not necessary to change the current setting value of related information that is not necessary. In this case, the CPU 51 may distinguish and display related information in which the current set value is changed from related information that is not changed on the display unit 96.
