Abstract

PURPOSE:To equip the computer of an automatic programming device with a multitask function which generates NC statements, transfers a program, and makes a communication, et., as background tasks by determining a priority level for a start request routine for various processing displayed on a CRT screen, etc., at the same time by the inference function of a computer program according to an execution processing rule file and performing the respective processings on a time-sharing basis. CONSTITUTION:When the program is started, a display 20 enters a state wherein the respective processing can selectively be started. The start request routine (1) for the processings is made to function and requests to start processings 1, 2, 3, 4,... as simultaneously requested processings are accepted. Then an inference engine (2) functions to determine the priority levels of the processings and determine the order of the processings to be executed on the basis of the execution processing rule file (3) when the processings can be executed. On the basis of the determination, the processings 1, 2... are executed on the time- sharing basis when execution acknowledgement is YES, and the respective processing start request are ended through time-sharing processing according to the priority levels.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for simultaneously processing interactive programs on a machine tool.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a machining operation program for a machine tool and various kinds of program creation work are performed manually by an operator or using a single automatic programming device. In particular, a great deal of time is required for the interactive program creation work, and there is a demand for concurrently executing another work, such as a program transfer, which ends in a short time during this work.

In order to meet the above-mentioned demand, it is necessary to have a multitasking function in the dialogue editing section, but this multitasking function has not been installed in an automatic programming device. Therefore, it is impossible to perform NC statement creation, program transfer, communication, etc. behind the scenes.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, such as NC statement creation, program transfer,
An object of the present invention is to provide a simultaneous processing method for interactive programs in which a computer of an automatic programming device is equipped with a multitasking function capable of executing communication and the like behind the scenes.

[0005]

According to the present invention, an inference function of a computer program determines a priority order according to an execution process rule file for a start request routine of various processes simultaneously displayed on a CRT screen or the like, and each process is executed. Is a time processing method for simultaneous processing of dialogue programs.

According to the operation of the present invention, the inference function of the computer program determines the priority order according to the execution process rule file with respect to the start request routines of various processes simultaneously displayed on the CRT screen or the like, and each process is time shearing. To process.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments shown in the drawings will be described below. Figure 1
FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram for carrying out the simultaneous processing method of the interactive program of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an operation flowchart of the simultaneous processing method of the interactive program of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a flowchart of priority order and its processing order, FIG. 4 is a screen diagram of interactive editing work, and FIG. 5 is a screen diagram of NC sentence creation.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment 100 of an interactive simultaneous processing method according to the present invention, which includes a central processing unit CPU (computer) 50, a ROM 40 having an application program for operating the inference function of the present invention, and a data file relating to a stroke check. RAM30 with display, display 2
0 and a keyboard 10. Under the operation of the keyboard 50, the interactive program simultaneous processing method of the present invention is carried out while observing the screen of the display 20.

An apparatus 100 for carrying out a method for simultaneously processing interactive programs according to the present invention is configured as described above, and will be described with reference to FIGS.
The operation flowchart will be described. First, in FIG. 2, the "start" causes the display 20 to be in a state in which each process can be selectively activated. Here, the “process activation request routine” (1) is made to function to perform simultaneous request processes “process 1 activation request”, “process 2 activation request”, “process 3 activation request”, and “process 4”. Start request "... Then, the "inference engine" (2), which is an artificial intelligence, is activated and based on the "execution processing rule file" (3),
〇 Executable: Determine the priority of processing, and 〇 Unexecutable: Determine the order of queue, and determine the order of execution processing. Based on the order determination, "YES" or "NO" of "execution permission" (4) is determined, and when YES, "process 1", "process 2", "process 3" ... Then, according to the priority order, each process activation request is terminated.

Next, the processing procedure will be described with reference to FIGS. In the example, the priority is set to “dialogue sentence edit” A> “NC sentence creation” B> “communication” C, process 1 is D, process 2 is A and B, and process 3 is C. First,
It is in the waiting state for the activation request of "status: 0", and in "status: 1", it is processed as priority order D → A → C and queue B. In "status: 2", the priority order D ends, and processing is performed as A → C, queue B. In the "status: 3", after A is finished, the priority D is processed again as the interrupt priority D → B → C and no queue. Then, in "status: 4", D ends and priority B →
C, no queue, and in "status: 5", B ends and is processed as priority C, no queue. Finally,
In "Status: 6", there is no priority, no queue,
Then, the status returns to the status "0" waiting for the activation request. In the following, the above-mentioned actions are performed in the order of priority "edit dialogue sentence"A>"N
It is repeated based on "C sentence creation"B>"communication" C.

4 and 5 show "dialogue text editing" having a high priority.
(A) screen and "NC sentence creation" with low priority (b)
The screen display of is shown. On the screen of "Edit dialogue text" (b), "Process screen", "Reamer setting screen" and "Arbitrary hole setting screen" are shown. On the screen of "NC statement creation" (b), "Process screen" and "NC program confirmation""Screen" is shown respectively.

It is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the one embodiment described above, and design changes can be made within the scope of the invention.

[0013]

According to the present invention, the inference function of the computer program determines the priority order according to the execution process rule file for the start request routines of various processes simultaneously displayed on the CRT screen or the like, and processes each process by time shearing. Therefore, of course, it is not only orderly and speedy for multiple processing requests according to the priority order, but also in the table, "Edit dialogue sentence"
It is also possible to perform "NC sentence creation" on the back while performing ".
