A diagnosis device stores a model used for diagnosing the condition of an industrial machine in a storage unit, acquires data related to the condition of the industrial machine, and based on the acquired data, determines the condition of the industrial machine by using the model stored in the storage unit. Then, in response to detecting that a component of the industrial machine has been replaced based on the acquired data and the data related to the determined condition of the industrial machine, the diagnosis device adapts the model stored in the storage unit to the condition of the industrial machine whose component has been replaced.

A method for a motion test and a control host of a movable machinery are provided. The method includes: loading a first motion test program; generating, according to the first motion test program, a template file recording first coordinate information indicated by the first motion test program for the movable machinery to perform a physical motion; loading a second motion test program; reading the template file according to program information of the second motion test program and comparing second coordinate information indicated by the second motion test program for the movable machinery to perform the physical motion with the first coordinate information; and generating, according to a comparison result, a warning message reflecting that a control for the movable machinery by the second motion test program may be abnormal.

The present invention related to the technical field of industrial automation, in particular to a method and apparatus for generating a fault diagnosis database of a CNC machine tool, intended to conveniently provide comprehensive fault diagnosis information. The method comprises: setting a fault condition of the CNC machine tool; running a simulation model of the CNC machine tool under each set fault condition to generate fault, and recording a fault phenomenon of the fault; backtracking a possible fault generating each fault phenomenon, to establish an association between the fault phenomenon and a possible fault generating the fault phenomenon; generating a fault diagnosis database of the CNC machine tool according to the association established. Due to the fact that what is being run is a simulation model of the CNC machine tool, various fault conditions can be conveniently set. The fault diagnosis database established by the method has the advantage of comprehensive coverage of fault situations and abundant fault diagnosis information. The result of performing fault diagnosis on the basis of such a fault diagnosis database is more accurate.

When carrying out an industrial process or during the operation of an industrial system or machine, relevant data is to be detected without additionally loading the control of the industrial process or the system or machine in question. For this purpose, the invention provides a control system (1, 4, 5; 1′, 4′, 5′; 1″, 4″, 5″) with a real control (1; 1′; 1″) for controlling an industrial process, a system or a machine; a virtual control (4; 4′; 4″) for simulating the control of the industrial process, the system, or the machine; synchronization means for synchronizing the real control (1; 1′; 1″) and the virtual control (4; 4′; 4″); and a higher-level processor unit (5; 5′; 5″) for detecting and/or generating operating data and/or state data with respect to the process, the system, or the machine, wherein the operating data and/or state data is based on data originating from the virtual control (4; 4′; 4″). By requesting the data from the virtual control (4; 4′; 4″), the real control (1; 1′; 1″) is not additionally loaded.
