A robot control device which can exchange data with a plurality of robot control devices and with a storage medium which stores setting data of the robot control device, which robot control device can compare setting data which is set a specific robot control device and setting data which is set at another robot control device and setting data which is stored in the storage medium, at least two, for each item, display items with differences between the compared setting data, and reflect that selected setting data.

This simulation device includes a simulation unit which performs simulation of the motion of a robot or a machine tool; a settings alteration unit which, in the case of occurrence of an alarm indicating an anomaly in the motion of the robot or the machine tool during simulation, alters settings information data to be used to control the motion of the robot or the machine tool; and an option deletion unit which, in the case of occurrence of the alarm, deletes option software to be used to control option functionality included in the motion of the robot or the machine tool.

A tool information setting device includes: a first storage portion in which a tool holder number and a torque limiting value of tool information, which are associated with each other, are stored; a second storage portion in which a turret face number and a tool holder number, which are associated with each other, are stored; and a torque limiting value setting portion as a tool information setting portion that acquires the tool holder number from the second storage portion based on the turret face number described in the machining program. The torque limiting value setting portion acquires a torque limiting value from the first storage portion based on the acquired tool holder number when selecting a predetermined tool by the turret face number of the turret on which the predetermined tool is mounted.

An industrial machine management system includes circuitry that collects changeable setting data of an industrial machine, determines, based on the setting data at each time point of multiple time points, whether a change has been made to the setting data, obtains pre-change information when the change is determined as having been made to the setting data, the pre-change information regarding a pre-change state of the industrial machine as of a first time prior to the change having been made to the setting data, obtains post-change information when the change is determined as having been made to the setting data, the post-change information regarding a post-change state of the industrial machine as of a second time after the change has been made to the setting data, and based on the pre-change information and the post-change information, outputs influence information regarding an influence of the change.

A setting system performs setting required for causing a field device to perform a predetermined operation on the field device. The setting system includes a server apparatus configured to provide device setting data in which identification information of the field device and setting data to be set in the field device are associated with other, and an input/output device that is a device interposed between the field device and a control device controlling the field device. In a case in which connection between the input/output device and the field device has been established, the input/output device is configured to perform the setting of the field device by transmitting, to the field device, the setting data associated with the identification information of the field device with which the connection has been established out of the device setting data provided from the server apparatus.

A control device includes a setting detection unit that detects a setting operation on a value of a setting item related to control of the industrial machine and a notification unit configured to notify information related to the setting operation. The setting detection unit can detect a setting operation caused by execution of an MDI program, a setting operation caused by execution of a machining program, a setting operation caused by an external signal, and a setting operation caused by a higher-level management server. The notification unit provides a notification using a guidance message, a popup window, voice, an external signal, or information transmission via a network.
