Abstract

PURPOSE:To share a display part, etc., and to miniaturize the same by displaying a speed set on a display part in a speed range corresponding to respective controlled system. CONSTITUTION:A speed setting and inputting device is constituted by connecting a CRT monitor 2, a write pen 3, a keyboard 4 to a central processing unit (CPU) 1, and performs the setting of a motion speed for a robot 5 which performs a multiple spindle motion in respective axis direction. And when a start-up operation is performed from a keyboard 4, a display part 6 to select the respective axis of the robot 5, a display part 7 to decide the maximum speed of a control axis, and a display part 8 to set and display a set speed on arrow figure 9, are displayed as shown in figure on the CRT monitor 2. In this way, a speed range is designated by selecting one axis out of the axes, and based on this, a scale is displayed on arrow figure 9, and the optional position of arrow figure 9 is indicated on the scale with the write pen 3. As a result, the position of the scale is set as the speed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a speed setting input device suitable for setting a plurality of control objects in various speed ranges.

(Prior Art) In general, input devices for setting the speed, etc. of drive equipment include devices that are equipped with a meter that displays the current speed and an operating handle, etc., and that the user operates the handle while checking the meter, or Some are equipped with a digital switch or the like to set the speed, and others are equipped with push buttons to which various speeds are assigned in stages, from which a desired speed can be selected.

However, when using these input devices to set the speeds of multiple controlled objects with different maximum speeds, the devices equipped with the meters and handles described above require meters and handles to be placed on the input device panel corresponding to each controlled object. This increases the size of the operation panel. At the same time, in order to quickly and accurately set the target speed, it is necessary to know from experience the amount of steering wheel operation and the actual speed displacement.

On the other hand, when the speed is set using the digital switch mentioned above, there is a problem in that it is not possible to visually grasp the ratio of the set speed to the maximum speed as with the above meter, and when the above pushbutton is selected, the speed is set continuously. There was a problem that it was not possible to set an arbitrary speed.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, if a display section such as a meter and an operation section such as a handle are individually arranged for a plurality of control objects, the operation panel surface becomes large and it is difficult to operate the handle accurately. The problem was that it was difficult because it required skill.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a speed setting input device that can easily set accurate speeds for a plurality of control objects and that can reduce the size of the operation panel.

[Configuration of the Invention (Means for Solving Problems) The speed setting input device of the present invention selects one of a plurality of control objects one by one and specifies the maximum speed of the selected control object. The speed display range of the display section is determined, and the speed a for the selected control object is set according to the speed range, and the speed set in the speed range is displayed.

(Function) Since the set speed is displayed on the display section in a speed range corresponding to each controlled object, the set speed can be visually grasped and operated accurately. Furthermore, since the control object selection means allows the speed to be set by selecting one of a large number of control objects one by one, one display section etc. can be shared, resulting in miniaturization.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on an example shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the speed setting input device of the present invention. In the figure, the speed setting input device of this embodiment is a central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as CPU) 1.
A CRT monitor 2, a light pen 3, and a keyboard 4 are connected to the robot 5, and the movement speed in each axis direction of the robot 5, which performs multi-axis movement, is set.

In this configuration, when the keyboard 4 is operated to perform a startup operation, a screen as shown in FIG. 2 is displayed on the CRT monitor 2. In FIG. 1, 6 selects each axis of the robot to be controlled. Display section for.

7 is a display unit for determining the maximum speed of the axis to be controlled; 8 is a display for displaying the already set speed on an arrow shape 9 in a graph manner and for setting the desired set speed. Department.

For example, if you want to set the motion speed of the robot 5 on the , is selected, and five types of speeds are displayed on one display section 7.

These speeds are used to determine the speed range for the X-axis in the current speed setting, and are set in advance by CPU 1.
Five types of maximum speeds are registered for each axis.

Next, when the light pen 3 is applied to a desired speed in the above display, for example, r20cai/sJ, the display changes to a blinking display as above, and an O Scale 1 up to 20
0 is displayed.

When the light pen 3 is placed on the arrow figure 9 according to the scale 10, the corresponding speed is input, and cpul is set to the input speed for the robot 5.

The speeds exerted by these three people are displayed on the arrow figure 9 in the form of a graph as shown by 11 in the figure. When it is desired to change the set speed, when the light pen 3 is placed on the arrow figure 9 again, the speed is set and displayed in the same manner as above.

On the other hand, when another motion axis is selected in the control target selection operation, five types of maximum speeds corresponding to the selected axis are displayed on the display section 7 in the same manner as above. here,
Mark 1 on arrow shape 9 corresponding to the selected maximum speed.
Because 0 is displayed.

Set the desired speed according to the scale.

As described above, the speed setting input device of this embodiment selects one of a plurality of control objects, specifies the speed range of the control object, and displays an arrow figure on the display based on the specified speed range. A scale is displayed on the screen, and the speed indicated by the scale is set by pointing an arbitrary position on the arrow shape with a light pen according to the scale. This eliminates the need to individually provide a display section, an operation section, etc. for a plurality of control objects, and the display section and operation section can be made smaller. Also, the width of the above arrow shape for indicating and displaying the set speed.

You can always visually grasp the set speed ratio and set it accurately. Furthermore, unlike conventional handle operations, there is no need to check the actual speed displacement while operating the handle, making the operation easier.

In this embodiment, the character position displayed on the CRT monitor was selected by touching it with a light ben, but a transparent touch panel that detects tactile pressure was provided on the display surface so that the desired position of the displayed character could be pressed. Alternatively, the switching may be performed using an ordinary switch. Further, in this embodiment, the number of controlled objects and the types of speed ranges to be registered in advance are each five types, but it is natural that the present invention can be applied to at least one type. Furthermore, the present invention can be applied not only to speed setting but also to other fields such as setting the coordinate position of an object.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, one of a plurality of objects to be controlled is selected and controlled, so that only one display section and one operation section are required and the device can be made compact. At the same time, the maximum scale of the display section for displaying and setting the speed always indicates the maximum speed of the controlled object at that time, so that the speed can be set accurately regardless of whether the maximum speed is high or low.
