An automated monitoring status indicating node includes a body, a status indicator assembly, a memory and processor operable to activate the status indicator based on the status of a device being monitored. Related methods are disclosed.

A semiconductor manufacturing system includes: a local operation terminal that displays an apparatus screen of a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus; at least one remote operation terminals that are connected to the semiconductor manufacturing apparatus via a network, and display the apparatus screen; and a controller that controls the semiconductor manufacturing apparatus based on an operation received from a user by the local operation terminal and the remote operation terminal that display the apparatus screen. The control device includes: a login state managing unit; an apparatus screen display state managing unit; and a screen data creating unit that creates screen data of the apparatus screen based on the simultaneous login state and the apparatus screen display state.

A program causes an image generation device to function as an acquirer and a generator. The acquirer acquires FB information indicating a function block corresponding to a routine contained in an operation program for operating a PLC. The acquirer acquires individual configuration information determined individually for the function block. The individual configuration information defines a configuration of a status image representing statuses of parameters related to the function block that result from performance of the function of the function block. The generator generates, based on the individual configuration information, a status image representing a result of the performance of the function of the function block, and outputs the generated status image to a UI.
