A numerical controller which uses a simulation screen displayed on a touch panel so as to edit operation data of an industrial machine includes: a touch operation reception unit that receives a touch operation by an operator on the simulation screen; an operation identifying unit that identifies an operation target and an operation type on the simulation screen by the touch operation received; a setting screen data extraction unit that references the editing data storage unit for associating the operation target and the operation type and setting screen data including an editing item so as to store them so as to extract the setting screen data corresponding to the operation target and the operation type identified; an editing processing unit that edits the setting screen data extracted; and a setting screen output unit that outputs, to the touch panel 40, the setting screen data after being edited.

The simulation reflects the actual behavior of a target in an application involving a target near a transporting surface of a carrier instead of being placed directly on the transporting surface. A simulator includes a creating unit that virtually creates a system in a three-dimensional virtual space, a tracking unit that updates positions of targets on the transporting surface in the three-dimensional virtual space based on a corresponding movement of the carrier, and updates a position of a target picked up by the processing device in association with a behavior of the processing device, and an instruction generation unit that generates a control instruction for the behavior of the processing device based on the position of each target. When the processing device places a target within a predetermined range from the transporting surface, the tracking unit associates the target with the transporting surface and updates a position of the target.

A process control system includes: one or a plurality of field devices configured to be placed in a plant; and a control apparatus configured to perform at least one of input and output on the field device to control the plant; and a change trend calculation device configured to calculate a change trend in time-series data including an observed value at each point in time of the field device.

A process control system includes an engineering system for planning automation components into the project for a technical plant, a simulation framework for modeling the process behavior of field devices, a simulation unit for virtualizing the communication behavior of the real field devices and also includes a plant planning tool for planning the process engineering components of the plant into the project by which the commissioning of field-related components and a secure commissioning of a process engineering plant are made possible.

A simulator linkage device (10) makes a first simulator (300) and a second simulator (400) execute simulation periodically respectively at a sampling interval set by the user.

A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium includes instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry, are configured to cause the processing circuitry to receive user input indicative of a selection of a user experience of a plurality of user experiences. The plurality of user experiences include a first user experience associated with a first event that occurred in an industrial automation system at a first time prior to receiving the user input and a second user experience associated with a second event expected to occur in the industrial automation system at a second time after receiving the user input. When executed, the instructions also cause the processing circuitry to determine, based on the user input, output representative data associated with the industrial automation system and instruct an extended reality device to present the output representative data.
