A power conversion device includes a function of improving safety of a system by making a dynamical setting for a safety function operation at a time of detecting an abnormality in a system operation or a diagnosis error in accordance with a condition of the system at a time of the abnormality. A power conversion system includes a power conversion device main body configured to drive a motor and a safety function unit configured to execute a safety function. The safety function unit outputs a safety function operation instruction signal when receiving a safety request signal, and the power conversion device main body controls the motor by the safety function operation instruction signal. The safety function unit monitors a state of the motor, and, in a case where the state of the motor exceeds a predetermined range, executes a threshold-value-excess post-process by a safety function operation selected in advance.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide, in a power conversion device which is ready for functional safety, a function of improving safety of a system by making a dynamical setting for a safety function operation at a time of detecting an abnormality in a system operation or a diagnosis error in accordance with a condition of the system at a time of the abnormality. To achieve the purpose described above, a power conversion system includes a power conversion device main body configured to drive a motor and a safety function unit configured to execute a safety function. The safety function unit outputs a safety function operation instruction signal when receiving a safety request signal, and the power conversion device main body controls the motor by the safety function operation instruction signal. The safety function unit monitors a state of the motor, and, in a case where the state of the motor exceeds a predetermined range, executes a threshold-value-excess post-process by a safety function operation selected in advance.

A cable damage detection assistance apparatus in a robot mechanism includes a program executor for executing a program to operate a robot, a plurality of times, while changing velocity for driving motors whenever the program is executed; a motor controller for controlling the motors; a state quantity detector for detecting a state quantity indicating an operation state of the robot during the execution of the program; an alarm generator that, when the state quantity exceeds a threshold value, generates an alarm and outputs information about a line number at that time; an alarm database for counting the number of occurrence of alarms on each line number on which the alarm has occurred, and storing the alarm occurrence number on each line number on a velocity-by-velocity basis; and an analysis display for displaying the relationship between the alarm occurrence number and the velocity on each line number.

A drive device capable of recording a working status includes: a drive mechanism, including a housing, an actuating unit configured inside the housing and a transmission unit configured inside the housing and in connection with the actuating unit; a sensing unit, configured inside the housing and in electric connection with the actuating unit; and a storage unit, configured inside the housing and in electric connection with the sensing unit. Whereby, the drive device can be installed inside a unmanned control or automatic machine, utilizes the sensing unit to sense a working status of the drive mechanism, and records working status data in the storage unit; the working status stored in the storage unit can be read after the machine fails or is damaged, the working status of the drive mechanism of the damaged machine, and the cause of the failure occurrence is clarified, as a basis for subsequent performance improvement.
