Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily call a program to be called by storing comments corresponding to respective programs in a storage means together with programs and using these comments to search programs. CONSTITUTION:Program names 9a and 9b correspond to working programs 6a and 6b stored in address parts of working programs 6a and 6b together with program numbers 7a and 7b. Working names like synchronous feeding, cutting, punching, or tapping or symbols corresponding to working names are used as program names 9a and 9b. When a prescribed comment is inputted from an input means, an operation control means calls the program corresponding to the comment from the storage means and is displayed on a CRT display device.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a control device, and particularly to improving the functionality of a control device when a plurality of programs are stored and a predetermined program is searched.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing a Kani program stored in a storage device of a conventional numerical control device, for example, and in the figure, 6a and 6b each represent a Kani program. Each machine program 6a, 6b has a program number 7a, 7b and machining data information 8a, respectively.

Consisting of 8b. In order to search for each of the cannibal programs 6a and 6b, when each of the cannibal programs is displayed on the CRT display device, program numbers 7a and 7b are designated, thereby calling up the cannibal programs 6a and 6b, respectively.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, in the conventional numerical control device, when searching for the program numbers 6a and 6b stored in the storage device, only the program numbers 7a and 7b are used to search the program numbers 6a and 6b. 6b, program number 7
There is a problem in that it is not possible to immediately determine the content of a Canadian program using only a and 7b, and a different Canadian program from the one desired to be called ends up being called. In addition, in order to solve this problem, the program numbers 7a and 7b must be checked individually before being searched, resulting in the problem that the search takes time.

The present invention was made to solve this problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a control device that can easily call a desired program.

[Means for solving problems]

The control device according to the present invention includes a storage means in which programs each having a program number and a comment attached thereto are stored, and when an input signal corresponding to the comment is received from the input means, from the storage means. The apparatus includes an arithmetic and control unit that calls a program corresponding to the comment and sends it to a CRT display device.

[For production]

In this invention, when a predetermined comment is input from the input means, the arithmetic control means calls a program corresponding to the comment from the storage means, and the CRT display device displays the program.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a numerical control device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is an input device that inputs information to be processed, for example, a cannibal program, 2 is a storage device that stores the information input by the input device 1, and 3 is a device that reads information from the storage device 2 and outputs a control signal according to the command. An arithmetic/control device 4 is an output device for outputting a control signal outputted from the arithmetic/control bag r3 to, for example, a machine tool; 5 is an output device for displaying information such as the machine program stored in the storage device 2, and for checking or checking the machine tool; This is a CRT display device for monitoring during processing.

Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of Fig. 1. In Fig. 0, 10 is a CPU, 11 is a ROM in which a program for operating the CPU10 is stored, and 12 is a memory for processing data of the numerical control device, etc. This is the RAM that is used. 1
Reference numeral 3 denotes a tape on which processed data and the like are perforated, and 14 a tape reader that reads information from the tape 13 and stores it in the RAM 12. 15 is a keyboard, and 16 is a keyboard interface. 17 is a CRT controller, and 18 is a CRT. 19 is a servo controller, 2
0 is a drive circuit that drives the machine tool 21 based on the output of the servo controller 19.

Next, to explain the relationship between FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the input device 1 is composed of a tape reader 14, a keyboard 15, and a keyboard interface 16, and the storage device 2 is composed of a RAM 12. Arithmetic/control device 3
is CPU10 that operates according to the ROMII program.
The output device 4 is configured by a servo controller 1.
The CR7 display device 5 includes a CRT controller 17 and a CRT 18.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the contents of the computer program stored in the RAM 12 via the tape reader 14 or the keyboard 15 in this embodiment.
, 6b, 7a, 7b and 3a.

8b is exactly the same as the conventional example shown in FIG.

9a, 9b are the program numbers 7a, 7b,...! in the address part of each Canadian program 6a, 6b. - the program name corresponding to each Canadian program 6a, 6b stored together;

Each program name 9a, 9b is a processing name of each machine program such as synchronous feeding, cutting, drilling, tapping, etc., or a symbol corresponding to the processing name is displayed.

Next, the Canadian program 6a stored in the RAM 12
, 6'b is called and displayed on the CRT 18, the operation of the CPU 10 will be explained based on the flowchart of FIG. First, when searching for a Canadian program, the operator determines whether to call each Canadian program based on the Canadian program name or the Canadian program number, and inputs one of the mode signals. This mode signal is transmitted to the RAM via the keyboard 15 and board interface 16, for example.
12 (St), then judges the mode signal (S2), and if it is determined that the mode signal is a program name, takes in the next input by the operator as the program name (33); Next, CPLIIO sets the first address number of the area where the machining program is stored (S4),! The program name at the appropriate address is called from the RAM 12 (S5). Then, it is determined whether the called program name matches the program name set by the operator (36)
If it is determined that they do not match, it is then determined whether the search has been completed in all areas where the Canadian program is stored (37), and if the search has not been completed in all areas yet. If not, advance the address number (
S8), call the program name at that address S5
), it is determined whether the program name matches the program name set by the operator (S6), and steps 85 to S8 as described above are repeated until the program names match. If it is determined that they match, the corresponding Canadian program is stored in the working area of the RAM 12 (S9), and then the Canadian program is analyzed,
Display one Canadian program on the CRT 18 via the CRT controller 17 (510), or if the corresponding program name does not exist even if the search in all areas where Canadian program is written is completed (510) teeth,
This is displayed on the CRT 18 via the CRT controller 17 (Sll).

On the other hand, when the program number mode is input as the mode input, a search using the program number is performed as in the conventional case. In this case, if the program name is replaced with the program number in steps 83 to Sll, almost the same operation is repeated.

In addition, when searching for a program name, a table consisting of the program name and the address where its Canadian program is stored is stored in advance in the RAM 12, and only the program name is searched sequentially. The CRT 18 may display the program information of the address.

Note that although the above embodiment is an example in which the present invention is applied to a numerical control device, the present invention is not limited thereto. It goes without saying that any control device that does this can be used in the same way.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in this invention, comments corresponding to each program are simultaneously stored in the programs stored in the storage means, and the program can be searched using the comments, so that the contents of the program number of each program can be searched. You can easily call a desired program without having to confirm it.

Furthermore, since a program can be called up using a comment corresponding to the program, a Canadian program can be called up without fail, and the search time can be shortened.
