In response to the data or setting method to be set, a function blinking or changing the color of character or size line is added.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field of the Invention) The present invention relates to a setting method for setting data in a numerical control device without making mistakes by plinking or changing the color of two-dimensional character lines on a guide screen.

(Technical Background of the Invention and Problems Thereof) Conventionally, there have been many examples in which a guide screen illustrating input data is displayed on a CRT or the like as a data setting screen for a numerical control device. However, when setting multiple pieces of data on the same setting screen or when there are multiple setting methods, the amount of information displayed on the guidance screen increases in proportion to the number of settings, making it difficult for the operator to view the screen information. The drawback was that it was difficult to confirm.

(Object of the Invention) This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and the data to be set by the operator is clearly indicated by printing (blinking) or changing the color of characters or dimension lines on the guidance screen, and the data to be set by the operator is clearly displayed and set by the operator. The purpose is to provide a data setting method that prevents mistakes.

(Summary of the Invention) This invention relates to a data setting method in a numerical control device, and when there is a plurality of data to be set on the same data setting screen, and when there are multiple setting methods, a method for explaining the data is provided. Data guidance can be displayed by adding a function that blinks the corresponding characters or dimension lines in the guidance screen and a function that changes the color depending on the data to be set or the setting method to the function that displays the guidance screen. It was designed to do this.

(Embodiment of the Invention) As shown in FIG. 1, this invention system includes an input control section 2 that reads input data from a keyboard 1 as an input device, and a setting selection signal SS identified by this input control section.
and a blink control section 7 that controls the blinking display of characters or dimension lines on the guidance screen based on the address signal AS, and a blink control section 7 that controls the blinking display of the characters or dimension lines on the guidance screen based on the setting selection signal SS and the address signal AS. A guide for displaying the character 9 dimension line on the guide screen in a blinking or color changing display using the color change control unit 8 that changes the color, the blink information BS from the blink control unit 7, and the color information C8 from the color change control unit 8. This is realized by the screen display section 9. Further, in FIG. 1, position detection data PD from a position detector (not shown) such as an encoder is input to the calculation section 3, and calculation setting data AD identified by the input control section 2 is input to the position detection data P.
The direct setting data DD is input to the arithmetic unit 3 together with D, and is written to the register group 5 via the direct writing unit 4, and the written data is displayed on the CRTIO via the data display unit 6. Here, the difference between the direct setting and the calculation setting is that if the position detection data PD is, for example, "2000.000" and the value of the dimension H of the workpiece to be machined is "500.000", the direct setting is 2000.000. .000-500.00
The operator calculates 0=1500°000 using, for example, a calculator, and then directly enters 1500.0 on the keyboard.
00 manually, but when the operator sets 500.000 in the calculation setting, the calculation section 3 calculates 2000.
000-500.000 and automatically 1500.
The purpose is to find and input 000.

Next, the operation will be explained with reference to the origin offset setting screen as shown in FIG.

In this example, two data about the X axis and
There are two types of setting methods: direct setting and calculation setting. Now, when setting the X-axis origin offset h OFX, the selection of the X-axis by moving the cursor on the keyboard 1 is analyzed by the input control unit 2 and becomes an address signal AS.

As a result, the blink control section 7 transfers information for blinking the letters A and B indicating the X axis to the guide screen display section 9 based on the address signal AS. As a result, the characters A and B in the guide screen are blinked.

Further, the color change control section 8 transfers information for changing the color of the dimension lines C and D indicating the X axis to the guide screen display section 9 based on the address signal AS.

As a result, the dimension lines C and D in the guide screen change color, for example, when the entire screen is displayed in green, it becomes displayed in red. In this way, the guide screen display section 9 displays the input blink information B.
S and color information cs, the characters A and B on the guide screen are linked, and the colors of the dimension lines C and D are changed to clearly show the data to be set to the operator on the guide screen.

Next, specify the setting method, but if you want to make the settings directly, press the button switch on the keyboard L and the input control section 2.
The setting selection signal SS indicating the direct setting is output from the input control section 2 to the blink control section 7 and the color change control section 8. The blink control unit 7 receives the input setting selection signal S.
Based on the S and X-axis address signals AS, information for blinking only the letter A indicating direct setting of the X-axis is output. Further, the color change control section 8 outputs information for causing a color change of only the dimension line C indicating the direct setting of the X axis, based on the setting selection signal SS and the X-axis address signal ^S.

After that, input the setting data using the keyboard l. Since the setting method is direct setting, the data in this case is treated as direct setting data rJD, and after being stored in the register group 5 by the writing section 4, it is displayed on the CRTIO via the data display section 6. At this time, the setting selection signal SS and the address signal AS are turned off, and after the data setting is completed, the blinking and color change are canceled, and the initial normal state is restored. Note that when the calculation setting is specified using the keyboard 1, the character B is displayed in a blinking manner, and the dimension line is displayed in a changing color. .

Similarly, when performing OFZ setting, the characters E and F indicating the Z axis are displayed in a blinking manner, and the dimension lines G and H are displayed in color. Therefore, when performing calculation settings, this is identified by the input control unit 2, that is, the numerical data entered on the keyboard 1 is input to the calculation unit 3 as calculation setting data AD, and calculations with position detection data PD are automatically performed. is carried out, and the result is R
D is written to the register group 5 via the writing section 4. In this case, the input control unit 2 outputs a setting selection signal SS and an address signal AS indicating the calculation setting, and the blinking display of the letter F indicating the calculation setting and the color change display of the dimension line H are changed to C.
Perform this on the RTIO screen. In this case as well, in direct setting, the characters OFZ are displayed in a blinking manner, and the dimension line G is displayed in a changing color.

Note that although the above description has been made regarding the input of the origin offset, the same can be applied to the input of data such as tool offset, nose radius correction, and chuck barrier. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the characters are displayed in blinking and the two dimension lines are displayed in different colors, but it is also possible to reverse the display.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the method of the present invention, the data to be set by the operator can be set using the characters on the guidance screen.

Since the dimension lines are made clear by blinking or changing colors, setting errors can be prevented.
