A system includes a sensor configured to monitor rotating machinery and generate a signal based on a physical characteristic of the rotating machinery. The system also includes a monitoring system with a processor. The processor of the monitoring system is configured to receive the signal from the sensor. The processor determines an occurrence of reverse rotation of the rotating machinery by comparing the signal to a normal operating pattern to generate an initial value. The processor generates a notification signal indicating the occurrence of a reverse rotation.

There are provided a load state diagnosis device and a load state diagnosis method for a servomotor. A PLC diagnoses the load state of the servomotor which rotationally drives a rotary tool in a predetermined rotational drive direction at a constant speed. The PLC includes a detection part that detects the rotational direction of a torque acting on the servomotor, a determination part that determines whether the rotational direction of the torque detected by the detection part is consistent with the predetermined rotational drive direction, and a load index output part that outputs a load index indicating the load state of the servomotor based on a determination result of the determination part.

An oscillation information calculation device includes: a sensor information obtainer that obtains time series position information on a motor as detected by a position detector, and time series sensor information on a movable part as detected by a sensor attached to the movable part, the movable part being connected to the motor via a joint; and an information calculator that calculates and outputs at least one of oscillation presence/absence information, oscillation frequency information, or oscillation causal information, based on the time series position information and the time series sensor information, the oscillation presence/absence information indicating presence or absence of oscillation of the motor and the movable part, the oscillation frequency information indicating an oscillation frequency of the motor and the movable part, the oscillation causal information indicating a cause of the oscillation of the motor and the movable part.
