Provided are a connection unit for connection between a numerical control unit and an HMI functional unit, and a network connection unit for connection to a network. The HMI functional unit includes a display control unit for display on a display unit. The numerical control unit includes: an error detection unit that detects an error in the HMI functional unit; a connection control unit that releases connection to the connection unit and sets up connection to the network connection unit if the error detection unit detects the error in the HMI functional unit; and an alarm notification unit that notifies an alarm to a management terminal.

The present disclosure relates to a gear cutting machine having a machine control as well as having at least one display for displaying machine-relevant parameters, wherein the display is multitouch-operable and allows an operator input for controlling the gear cutting machine by multifinger gestures over the display.

A method for operating machinery uses a control unit and a display device for displaying a first user interface of a first application program and at least one second user interface of a second application program. The first user interface and the second user interface form a common display window on the display device.

A method includes displaying a plurality of windows in a graphical display. Each window corresponds to a representation of at least a portion of an industrial process system. The method also includes, responsive to a first window being in an active state, subscribing to first operational data associated with the process system. The method further includes, responsive to a second window being in an inactive state, unsubscribing from second operational data associated with the process system.

Provided are a connection unit for connection between a numerical control unit and an HMI functional unit, and a network connection unit for connection to a network. The HMI functional unit includes a display control unit for display on a display unit. The numerical control unit includes: an error detection unit that detects an error in the HMI functional unit; a connection control unit that releases connection to the connection unit and sets up connection to the network connection unit if the error detection unit detects the error in the HMI functional unit; and an alarm notification unit that notifies an alarm to a management terminal.

An automatic configuration system for an operator console wherein one or more operators control and monitor physical facilities, operations or physically dispersed services. The system includes wearable personal identification devices worn by the operators and a control unit for communicating with the wearable personal identification devices in order to detect the presence of one or more operators within a defined control room area. Each personal identification device includes a sensor unit for monitoring operator data, and is adapted to communicate the operator data to the control unit, which is adapted to configure the operator console based on the operator data.

It is possible to suppress a decrease in work efficiency in an initial position setting operation for a substrate processing apparatus. There is provided a technique that includes: transporters each provided with one or more transfer shafts; a manipulator for selecting a specified transfer shaft from the one or more transfer shafts and performing an initial position setting therefor; a display for displaying a status of the initial position setting for the specified transfer shaft; and a controller including a determination processor and notifying a determination result determined by the determination processor, wherein the determination processor determines whether the initial position setting for the specified transfer shaft selected by the manipulator is completed and whether it is possible for an initial position setting for another transfer shaft to be performed in parallel.

The invention relates to a robot user interface configured for presenting a control program to a programmer, the control program being displayable to the programmer via a program view of said user interface. The control program controls operations of a robot, wherein at least some parts of the control of said robot is defined via an 5 argument of one or more operation parameter. The user interface is further configured to present a part of said one or more operation parameters to an operator of said robot via an operator view of said user interface. The operator view is configured for displaying arguments of said one or more operation parameters, and the operator view is configured for allowing said operator to change said argument of said part of said 10 one or more operation parameters. Further the invention relates to a method of configuring the robot control program using the user interface.
