A data display control program causes a computer to execute: a storing step in which a storage device stores first and second data, the first data being data related to a manufacturing device in operation and being time series data for a period of time including a first date and time; a first display step in which a first display tool causes the first data and a first marking position indicating a second date and time designated to be displayed in a first display area; and a second display step in which a second display tool causes the second data to be displayed in a second display area, reads first marking information from the storage device, and causes the first marking position indicating the second date and time to be displayed in the second display area.

A user interface for parameterization of an automation unit; a display and a processor which is programmed to output a primary dialogue and secondary dialogues graphically on the display, the primary dialogue mapping to a basic function of the automation unit, and each secondary dialogue mapping to a following function which is necessary for performance of the basic function, and including interaction elements, by means of which the automation unit are parameterised so that the following function are performed, and for each secondary dialogue the primary dialogue provides a selection element, actuation of which enables the secondary dialogue in question to be accessed directly from the primary dialogue. The primary dialogue gives a user a work overview with familiar concepts of an application domain in the form of utility functions. This reduces the learning effort and mental strain when the user is performing the task.

A recognition device includes: an image generator configured to acquire a control signal for displaying an image on a display device of a machine tool, the control signal being output from a display control device of the machine tool, and generate an image to be displayed on the display device, based on the acquired control signal; and an information generator configured to recognize at least one of state and control content of the machine tool, contained in the image, and generate machine information.

A cutting blade supplying apparatus includes a cutting blade stocker that stocks a plurality of cutting blades, a carrying unit that carries out the cutting blade from the cutting blade stocker and carries the cutting blade to a cutting apparatus, a transferring unit that transfers the cutting blade carried by the carrying unit to a blade replacing unit of the cutting apparatus, and a control unit. The control unit selects the cutting blade needed by the cutting apparatus and causes the cutting blade to be carried by the carrying unit to the cutting apparatus.

According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a motor monitoring device that can easily ascertain the state of a motor comprises a rotational speed acquisition unit that acquires the rotational speed of a motor that operates in accordance with an operation program, an output value acquisition unit that acquires an output value for the motor, and a graph display unit that plots a marker that represents a combination of the rotational speed and the output value at a graph area where one axis is the rotational speed and the other axis is the output value. The graph display unit has a unit area setting unit that sets a plurality of unit areas that divide the graph area into a grid and a format modification unit that modifies the display format of the marker by unit area in accordance with a prescribed indicator.
