Display Control Device, Display System, Display Device, Display Method, And Display Program

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to facilitate understanding the place, in the script of a control program, where a signal corresponds to, and in what value such a signal is outputted from a device when the device is in a certain state. In this display control device, an acquisition unit acquires the value of a signal outputted from a device during execution of a control program (52) for controlling the device. A control unit controls a display device to display the script of the control program (52) on a screen (54) and display the value of the signal acquired by the acquisition unit on the place of the script of the control program (52) that corresponds to the signal in a form which enables the state of the device to be identified when the value of the signal is outputted.

Specification

[Claim 1] A display control device comprising:
an acquisition unit to acquire a value of a signal outputted from an apparatus during
execution of a control program which controls the apparatus; and
5 a control unit to control a display device to display a code of the control program on
a screen, and to display the value of the signal acquired by the acquisition unit, on a portion
in the code which corresponds to the signal, in a format that enables distinction of a state of
the apparatus of a time the value of the signal is outputted.
[Claim 2] The display control device according to claim 1,
10 wherein, in displaying a value outputted when the apparatus is in an unsteady state,
as a value of the signal, the control unit controls the display device to simultaneously display
a value outputted when the apparatus is in the steady state.
[Claim 3] The display control device according to claim 1 or 2, further comprising:
an operation unit to accept an operation of selecting a display-subject period of the
15 signal from among two or more periods during which a value, different from a value
outputted when the apparatus is in a steady state, is outputted as the value of the signal,
wherein the acquisition unit acquires, as a value of the signal, a value of a signal outputted during the period selected by operating the operation unit.
[Claim 4] The display control device according to claim 1 or 2, further comprising:
20 an operation unit to accept an operation of selecting a display-subject period of the
signal from among two or more periods during which a value with an abnormality degree exceeding a threshold value is outputted as a value of the signal,
wherein the acquisition unit acquires, as a value of the signal, a value of a signal
outputted during the period selected by operating the operation unit.
25 [Claim 5] The display control device according to any one of claims 1 to 4,
wherein the control unit controls the display device to further display an abnormality

degree of a value of the signal.
[Claim 6] The display control device according to any one of claims 1 to 5,
wherein the signal is a binary signal corresponding to either ON or OFF, and
wherein the control unit controls the display device to further display a probability
5 that the signal is ON.
[Claim 7] The display control device according to any one of claims 1 to 4,
wherein the acquisition unit acquires values of a plurality of signals outputted separately from the plurality of apparatuses, as values of the signals, and
wherein the control unit controls the display device to display a value of each signal
10 acquired by the acquisition unit, on a portion in the code which corresponds to each signal, in
a format that enables to distinguish that the value of each signal is outputted in which one of a
case where the plurality of apparatuses are in the steady state as a whole and a case where the
plurality of apparatuses are in the unsteady state as a whole.
[Claim 8] The display control device according to claim 7,
15 wherein the control unit controls the display device to further display an abnormality
degree of a value of each signal.
[Claim 9] The display control device according to claim 7,
wherein the control unit controls the display device to further display an abnormality
degree of a value as an entirety of the plurality of signals.
20 [Claim 10] The display control device according to any one of claims 7 to 9,
wherein each signal is a binary signal corresponding to either ON or OFF, and
wherein the control unit controls the display device to further display a probability that each signal is ON.
[Claim 11] A display system comprising:
25 the display control device according to any one of claims 1 to 10; and
the display device controlled by the control unit to display the code and a value of

the signal.
[Claim 12] A display device comprising a display controlled by a display control
device that acquires a value of a signal outputted from an apparatus during execution of a
control program which controls the apparatus, to display a code of the control program on a
5 screen, and to display the value of the signal acquired by the display control device, in a
format that enables distinction of a state of the apparatus of a time the value of the signal is
outputted.
[Claim 13] A display method comprising:
by a display control device, acquiring a value of a signal outputted from an
10 apparatus during execution of a control program which controls the apparatus; and
by a display device being controlled by the display control device, displaying a code of the control program on a screen, and displaying the value of the signal acquired by the display control device, on a portion in the code which corresponds to the signal, in a format that enables distinction of a state of the apparatus of a time the value of the signal is
15 outputted.
