To provide a control panel for machine tools that improves operability and enables even an unskilled person to easily grasp a procedure for moving a screen to a target screen. A plurality of screen data are classified into a plurality of groups and classified into main screen data and sub-screen data associated with the main screen data in each of the groups. A control section displays the main screen data and displays the sub-screen data on a display section according to a type of an input to a plurality of main screen corresponding buttons.

A control system for controlling a surgical robot by a surgeon console remote from the surgical robot, the control system being configured to: receive one or more state signal associated with a plurality of instruments, each of the plurality of instruments being attachable to the surgical robot, the one or more state signal indicating a selectability of each of the plurality of instruments for control by the surgeon console, and a control mode of each of the plurality of instruments from a group of modes, the group of modes comprising a manipulation mode in which an instrument of the plurality of instruments is controllable by the surgeon console, and a selection mode in which an instrument of the plurality of instruments is selectable for control by the surgeon console; determine a graphical arrangement of icons for display in dependence on the received one or more state signal, where each icon represents a respective one of the plurality of instruments, and output a display signal to cause the graphical arrangement of icons to be displayed; receive a mode change signal indicating a change of mode to the selection mode; modify, in response to the received mode change signal, the graphical arrangement of icons to permit identification of selectable instruments of the plurality of instruments; receive a select signal from the surgeon console indicating a selection of one of the selectable instruments; modify, in response to the received select signal, the graphical arrangement of icons to permit identification of the selected instrument; and enable control of the selected instrument by the surgeon console.

A method for diagnosing a user program for controlling movement and positioning tasks of drives operated to execute a movement path of an apparatus, wherein the apparatus and movement path are depicted as a three-dimensional view in a first output element, to depict the movement path, a graphic element formed as a polygonal chain is generated for movement sections, which is operated in a force sensitive manner so that a user can select a location on the polygonal chain with a pointer device and obtain a display of an output field with a line of code that has the program instruction that is responsible through the execution for reaching the location within the movement section of the apparatus or position vector, and a recording method was performed in which the current position vector and the associated line of code or a code line index are recorded at sampling time points.
