A narrowing window screen 61 and a selection window screen 71 are displayed on the screen 70 shown in FIG. On the selection window screen 71, a selection area 72 for allowing the operator to select a loom 2 out of the looms 2 narrowed down in step S1 and a loom 2 displayed in the selection area 72 by the operator's input are sequentially selected. Selection buttons 73 and 74 are displayed.

Here, for example, consider a case where the operator has selected “004” as the reference loom 2 by the operator.
When the operator selects the “004” loom 2 as the reference loom 2, the characters “004” displayed in the selection area 72 change from black to red, and the screen reference device 4 displays the “004” loom 2. The main page 30 is displayed.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the screen reference device 4 after the operator selects the loom 2 “004” as the reference loom 2 by the operator.
A screen 80 shown in FIG. 8 displays a narrowing window screen 61, a selection window screen 71, and a main page 30-004 of the loom 2 of “004”. On the main page 30-004, a switching button 81 for switching from the main page 30-004 to a lower layer screen is displayed by an operator input.

Next, in step S3, the screen reference device 4 displays a screen (first screen) that the operator desires to refer to among the screens to be displayed on the reference loom 2 selected in step S2.
Here, for example, consider a case where the operation page 31 is selected as a screen that the operator desires to refer to.

FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the screen reference device 4 after the operation page 31 is selected as a screen that the operator desires to refer to.
A screen 90 shown in FIG. 9 displays a narrowing window screen 61, a selection window screen 71, and an operation page 31-004 for the loom 2 of “004”.

  Next, in step S4, the screen reference device 4 controls the control device 3 (hereinafter simply referred to as the reference loom 2) of the reference destination loom 2 from the looms 2 narrowed down in step S1 (hereinafter referred to as the reference destination loom 2). Device) is selected based on the operator's input, and the screen of the reference destination loom 2 (second screen) corresponding to the screen selected in step S3 is displayed. Note that the loom 2 as the reference destination may be, for example, a loom 2 that has high production efficiency and is unlikely to fail or stop.

Here, for example, consider the case where the loom 2 of “001” is selected as the reference loom 2 by the operator.
When the operator selects the loom 2 of “001” as the reference loom 2, the character “001” displayed in the selection area 72 changes from black to blue, and the loom 2 of “001” is displayed on the screen reference device 4. The operation page 31-001 is displayed.

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the screen reference device 4 after the operator selects the “001” loom 2 as the reference loom 2.
On the screen 100 shown in FIG. 10, a narrowing window screen 61, a selection window screen 71, an operation page 31-004 of “004”, and an operation page 31-001 of “001” are displayed.

  That is, for example, when the operator selects the “004” loom 2 as the reference loom 2 on the selection window screen 71, the screen reference device 4 selects the main page area of the record 41-4 of the database 40 shown in FIG. The content path recorded in 48 is accessed, and the main page 30-004 is downloaded from the terminal device 3 of the loom 2 of “004” and displayed.

  Next, for example, when the operator presses the switching button 81 for switching to the operation page 31-004 in the main page 30-004 of “004”, the screen reference device 4 records 41 in the database 40 shown in FIG. -4 to access the content path recorded in the operation page area 49, download the operation page 31-004 from the control device 3 of the loom 2 "004" and display it.

  Then, for example, when the operator selects the loom 2 of “001” as the reference loom 2 on the selection window screen 71, the screen reference device 4 operates the operation page of the record 41-1 of the database 40 shown in FIG. The content path in the area 49 is accessed, and the operation page 31-001 is downloaded from the control device 3 of the loom 2 of “001” and displayed on the screen 100 together with the operation page 31-004.

In step S4, after the reference destination loom 2 is selected, the setting value of the selected reference loom 2 may be copied to the reference source loom 2 by an operator input. .
Further, for example, in the screen reference device 4, one or more of the narrowed-down window screen 61, the selection window screen 71, the “004” operation page 31-004, and the “001” operation page 31-001 are displayed. You may comprise so that it may be displayed.

Further, for example, in the screen reference device 4, a narrowing window screen 61, a selection window screen 71, a main page 30-004 “004”, an operation page 31-004 “004”, and an operation page 31-“001” They may be displayed in the order of 001.
Next, in step S5, the screen reference device 4 changes the reference loom 2 selected in step S2 or the reference loom 2 selected in step 4 based on the operator's input.

Here, for example, consider a case where the operator changes the reference loom 2 from the “001” loom 2 to the “002” loom 2.
First, when the operator changes the reference loom 2 from the “001” loom 2 to the “002” loom 2, the character “001” displayed in the selection area 72 changes from blue to black, The character “002” changes from black to blue. The operation page 31-001 displayed on the screen 100 in FIG. 10 is switched to the operation page 31 “002”.

  That is, for example, when the reference loom 2 is changed from the “001” loom 2 to the “002” loom 2 by the operator, the screen reference device 4 is used for operating the record 41-2 of the database shown in FIG. Access the content path recorded in the page area 49, download the operation page 31 of the loom 2 of “002” from the control device 3 of the loom 2 of “001”, and display it on the screen 100 together with the operation page 31-004. To do.

The screen reference device 4 may be configured to display the screens of all selected looms 2 when, for example, a plurality of looms 2 are selected as the reference loom 2 by the operator.
Further, for example, when the screen of the reference loom 2 is changed by the operator, the screen reference device 4 automatically switches the screen of the reference loom 2 corresponding to the screen of the reference loom 2. You may comprise as follows.

Next, in step S6, the screen reference device 4 sequentially selects the looms 2 narrowed down in step S1 based on the operator's input.
Here, for example, consider the case where the operator presses the selection button 73 twice after the “001” loom 2 is selected as the reference loom 2.

  First, when the selection button 73 is pressed once by the operator, the character “001” displayed in the selection area 72 changes from blue to black, and the character “002” changes from black to blue. Then, the operation page 31-001 displayed on the screen 100 of FIG. 10 is switched to the operation page 31 of “002”.

  Next, when the selection button 73 is further pressed once by the operator, the character “002” displayed in the selection area 72 changes from blue to black, and the character “003” changes from black to blue. Then, the operation page 31 “002” displayed on the screen 100 in FIG. 10 is switched to the operation page 31 “003”.

That is, when the selection button 73 is pressed by the operator, the looms 2 displayed in the selection area 72 are sequentially selected from top to bottom, for example, “001”, “002”, “003”,. .
When the selection button 74 is pressed by the operator, the looms 2 displayed in the selection area 72 are sequentially selected from the bottom to the top, for example, “005”, “004”, “003”,.

Note that the screen reference device 4 may be configured to display all screens corresponding to all the looms 2 selected by pressing the selection button 73 or 74 by the operator, for example.
In this way, by selecting the reference loom 2 and displaying the screen that the operator wants to refer to among the screens that should be displayed on the reference loom 2, and further selecting the reference loom 2, Even if the screen is not selected on the reference loom 2, the screen of the reference loom 2 corresponding to the screen that the operator wishes to refer to can be automatically displayed. There is no need to individually analyze the displayed screen and the screen displayed on the reference loom 2.

  As a result, even if the past setting values of each loom 2 are not recorded, the reference source display screen and the reference source display screen hierarchically correspond to the reference destination display screens are instantaneously compared. Since the operator can easily change the setting values of the loom 2, an expensive expert system or a large-scale database is not required for the management system for managing the setting values of the loom 2. Costs for construction can be reduced.

  Further, since it is possible for the operator to easily change the setting values of the loom 2 without having to record the past setting values of each loom 2, even if the number of products produced by the loom 2 is small, The setting values of the looms 2 can be analyzed, and the discovery of an abnormality in the loom 2 and countermeasures for the cause of the abnormality can be supported.

  In addition, for example, the reference loom 2 is a loom 2 that frequently fails or stops, and the reference loom 2 is a loom 2 that has high production efficiency and is unlikely to fail or stop. Since the setting value of the loom 2 can be changed to the setting value of the reference loom 2, the production efficiency of the reference loom 2 can be improved, and failure and stoppage can be suppressed.

  In the above embodiment, the screen reference device 4 displays the screen displayed on the reference loom 2 and the screen displayed on the reference loom 2, but the reference loom on a certain loom 2 is displayed. 2 may be configured to display a screen (second screen) corresponding to the screen (first screen) displayed by the loom 2 described above.

For example, let us consider a case where a screen displayed on another loom 2 is displayed on the loom 2 of “004”.
FIG. 11 shows a display on the control device 3 of the loom 2 of “004” (hereinafter simply referred to as “loom 2 of“ 004 ”) when the screen displayed on the other loom 2 is displayed on the loom 2 of“ 004 ”. It is a figure which shows an example of the screen displayed.

The operation page 31-004 is displayed on the loom 2 of “004” shown in FIG. In addition, a cross-reference button 110 is displayed on the operation page 31-004. Then, when the cross reference button 110 is pressed by the operator, the screen is switched to the next screen.
FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the loom 2 of “004” after the cross-reference button 110 is pressed by the operator.

  A selection window screen 120 is displayed on the loom 2 of “004” shown in FIG. In addition, a number of link buttons 121 are displayed on the selection window screen 120. Each link button 121 indicates the machine name of each loom 2 and is linked to each loom 2. When a link button 121 is pressed by the operator, a screen displayed on the loom 2 corresponding to the pressed link button 121 is displayed on the loom 2 of “004”.

Here, for example, consider a case where the link button 121 corresponding to the loom 2 of “001” is pressed by the operator.
FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the loom 2 of “004” after the link button 121 corresponding to the loom 2 of “001” is pressed by the operator.

As shown in FIG. 13, the operation page 31-001 of the loom 2 of “001” is displayed on the loom 2 of “004”.
When the reference / comparison of the operation page 31-001 of the “001” loom 2 is completed by the operator, the loom 2 of “004” displays the operation page 31-004.

  That is, for example, the database 40 shown in FIG. 4 is recorded in the recording unit 6 shown in FIG. 1, and the “004” loom 2 is selected as the reference loom 2 by the operator on the selection window screen 120. When 2 is selected, the content path recorded in the operation page area 49 of the record 41-1 of the database 40 shown in FIG. 4 is accessed, and the operation page 31-001 is the terminal device of the loom 2 of “001”. 3 may be downloaded and displayed.

  In this way, by displaying the screens of the other looms 2 on a certain loom 2, the operator can refer to and compare the screens displayed on the two looms 2, so the screen reference device 4 can be omitted. Therefore, the cost for constructing the production system 1 can be reduced accordingly.

In addition, after the reference destination loom 2 is selected, the setting value of the selected reference loom 2 may be copied to the recording unit 6 of the reference loom 2 by an operator input. Good.
Further, the narrowing window screen 61 may be displayed on the loom 2 of “004”. That is, for example, in the loom 2 of “004”, the reference loom 2 may be narrowed down on the narrowing window screen 61 and the narrowed result may be displayed on the selection window screen 120.

Further, for example, in the loom 2 of “004”, two or more screens among the narrow-down window screen 61, the selection window screen 120, the screen of the loom 2 of “004”, and the screen of the reference loom 2 are displayed. You may comprise.
In the above embodiment, the screen reference device 4 is configured to display one screen of the reference loom 2, but may be configured to display two or more screens of the reference loom 2. .

In the above embodiment, the loom 2 is narrowed down by the narrow-down window screen 61 before selecting the reference loom 2, but the loom 2 is narrowed down by the narrow-down window screen 61 before selecting the reference loom 2. You may comprise as follows.
In the above embodiment, the loom 2 is narrowed down by the narrowing window screen 61 and then the reference loom 2 or the reference loom 2 is selected. However, the loom 2 is not referred to and the reference loom 2 is referred to. You may comprise so that the previous loom 2 may be selected. That is, the screen of the reference loom 2 and the screen of the reference loom 2 may be displayed using only the selection window screen 71 without using the narrowing window screen 61.
