智能化操作面板Intelligent operation panel

本發明涉及一種面板控制裝置，尤指一種可以可獨立運作，或與工具機連接來輔助使用者操作工具機的面板控制裝置。The invention relates to a panel control device, in particular to a panel control device that can be operated independently or connected with a machine tool to assist a user in operating the machine tool.

本發明整合實體按鈕旋鈕面板與一嵌入式主機，此嵌入式主機之CPU模組控制LCD與觸控面板設備，並實現I/O 輸入輸出，本嵌入式主機可以獨立運行儲存於本裝置內程式，其執行軟體藉專屬通訊協與I/O跟數值控制器交握，顯示與操作虛擬操作面板及加工輔助，並藉物聯網及網路通訊功能與生產管理系統連結，達成智能生產。The present invention integrates a physical button knob panel and an embedded host. The CPU module of the embedded host controls LCD and touch panel devices and realizes I/O input and output. The embedded host can run programs stored in the device independently , Its running software uses the exclusive communication protocol and I/O to interact with the numerical controller, displays and operates the virtual operation panel and processing assistance, and uses the Internet of Things and network communication functions to connect with the production management system to achieve intelligent production.

工具機是製造工業中不可或缺的角色，目前用以控制工具機的控制面板, 大多是透過實體按鈕、轉盤、LED燈、螢幕以及7節管等實體元件組而成, 由於控制面板上面的硬體元件無法任意改變其位置或是數量，故在實際運用上，由於不同的運作模式需要輸入不同種類的操作參數以及回饋不同的操作資訊，故在增加工具機的加工方式的同時，控制面板上所需的操作元件及顯示元件亦會大幅增加。Machine tools are an indispensable role in the manufacturing industry. At present, the control panels used to control machine tools are mostly composed of physical buttons, turntables, LED lights, screens, and 7-section tubes. The position or quantity of hardware components cannot be arbitrarily changed. Therefore, in actual use, different operating modes require input of different types of operating parameters and feedback of different operating information. Therefore, while increasing the processing methods of machine tools, the control panel The operating elements and display elements required for the above will also increase substantially.

由於在不同的操作模式下所需輸入及輸出的資訊不同，故單純的增加面板的大小除了使面板體積增大外，往往還會因為提供過多不必要的資訊，讓不熟悉該加工模式的使用者產生困擾甚至造成誤會。因此，在過去有技術如台灣專利119251號，提供了一種完全利用觸控螢幕進行操作的面板，透過程式設計來簡化操作介面，減少控制面板的體積。Because the required input and output information is different in different operation modes, simply increasing the size of the panel will not only increase the size of the panel, but also provide too much unnecessary information to make you unfamiliar with the use of the processing mode. People are troubled or even misunderstood. Therefore, in the past, there are technologies such as Taiwan Patent No. 119251, which provided a panel that completely utilizes the touch screen for operation, and through programming to simplify the operation interface and reduce the volume of the control panel.

然而，由於現有觸控螢幕在操作上仍存在感測準確度的問題，故僅單獨依靠觸控螢幕進行操作，所輸入的指令並不一定能即時、準確的傳達至機台，在需要部份需要立即反應的精密操作的狀況下十分不便，且若需要緊急停止工具機的情況下，僅透過觸控螢幕進行操作還十分危險。However, since the existing touch screen still has the problem of sensing accuracy in operation, it only relies on the touch screen to operate, and the input commands may not be transmitted to the machine in real time and accurately. It is very inconvenient under the condition of precise operation that requires immediate reaction, and if the machine tool needs to be stopped urgently, it is very dangerous to operate only through the touch screen.

此外，現有的CNC工具機用操作面板都因為沒有內置主機，所以都是擔任目標CNC控制器被動的周邊硬體，所以不能藉此管道進一步的協助工具機製造廠，將其對於該工具機的加工工藝以及使用維護上的專業提供給用戶，也不能與生產管理端資訊溝通，不利於使用端的智能生產管理。In addition, the existing operation panels for CNC machine tools do not have a built-in host, so they all serve as passive peripheral hardware of the target CNC controller. Therefore, they cannot use the pipeline to further assist the machine tool manufacturer and compare it to the machine tool. Professionals in processing technology and use and maintenance are provided to users, and they cannot communicate with the production management end, which is not conducive to intelligent production management at the user end.

本發明之主要目的在於提供一種能配合至少一種的工具機使用的面板控制裝置，該面板控制裝置同時具有可依需求使用改變按鍵配置的觸控螢幕以及傳統的按鈕/旋鈕輸入裝置，除了能透過各種觸控螢幕上的操作介面來對應工具機的多種運作模式來節省面板體積以及整理面板所提供的資訊外，還能透過傳統的按鈕/旋鈕輸入裝置來輸入緊急或是精確的指令。The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a panel control device that can be used with at least one machine tool.

而最後，關於該自動界面的部分，請先參考圖2所示，雖然該工具機包含一用以顯示其所執行的加工的狀態的顯示單元22，但由於該顯示單元22所能顯示的資訊受到工具機廠的原廠介面設定，該顯示單元22上不一定會在畫面上顯示所有加工所需的資料(因不同的加工程序可能會需要不同的資料)，故該面板控制裝置10可透過程式處理顯示由回傳的回饋訊號所產生的各種加工資訊(含即時加工資訊)，或是將該回饋訊號配合以及儲存模組111b中所儲存的資料，於運算後產生新的訊息後於顯示於該觸控螢幕13上，而能夠該顯示單元22未顯示的加工訊息。And finally, for the part of the automatic interface, please refer to Figure 2. Although the machine tool includes adisplay unit 22 for displaying the status of the processing performed by it, because of the information that thedisplay unit 22 can display Due to the original factory interface settings of the machine tool factory, thedisplay unit 22 may not necessarily display all the data required for processing on the screen (different processing procedures may require different data), so thepanel control device 10 can The program processes and displays various processing information (including real-time processing information) generated by the returned feedback signal, or the feedback signal is combined with the data stored in the storage module 111b, and a new information is generated after the operation is displayed. On thetouch screen 13, processing messages not displayed by thedisplay unit 22 can be displayed.

除此之外，如圖5所示，當上述面板控制裝置10所預先儲存的該使用者介面133在功能上不適合該工具機20時，可利用執行儲存的程式碼中的一設計程式碼，依照加工時的實際所需加工參數的種類，使用該工具機20所回傳的該回饋訊號，以及圖片，讓機器製造商自行設計面版功能來變更原先儲存的該使用者介面133，進而產生一符合功能或美觀需求的自定義介面並儲存。In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, when theuser interface 133 pre-stored in thepanel control device 10 is not functionally suitable for themachine tool 20, a design code among the stored code can be used to execute it, According to the types of processing parameters actually required during processing, use the feedback signal and pictures returned by themachine tool 20 to allow the machine manufacturer to design the panel function to change the previously storeduser interface 133 to generate A custom interface that meets functional or aesthetic requirements and saves it.

回到該嵌入式主機11的該控制轉換模組111，該控制轉換模組111在接收來自該實體面板12的類比訊號後，將其轉換成一第一硬體訊號，並接收該觸控螢幕13的軟體訊號後(操作該使用者介面133上的該可觸控按鍵134後所產生的訊號)，透過該轉換卡裝置111d，將原本軟體訊訊號將其轉換成一第二硬體訊號然後傳遞給該嵌入式主機11。Returning to the control conversion module 111 of the embeddedhost 11, the control conversion module 111, after receiving the analog signal from thephysical panel 12, converts it into a first hardware signal, and receives thetouch screen 13 After the software signal (the signal generated by operating thetouch button 134 on the user interface 133), the original software signal is converted into a second hardware signal through the conversion card device 111d and then transmitted to The embeddedhost 11.

其中，該第一硬體訊號及該第二硬體訊號的差異除了在於來源不同，使得該第一硬體訊號的指令不用經過轉換外，透過該CPU模組111a對於該第一硬體訊號與該第二硬體訊號還設定了不同的執行等級，該工具機20在依照該的二硬體訊號進行的加工時，在收到該第一硬體訊號後，該工具機20會優先執行該第一硬體訊號的命令(即前述段落中提到的緊急停止、速度覆蓋或是對應不同的操作模式選擇不同的使用者介面133。Wherein, the difference between the first hardware signal and the second hardware signal is that the source of the first hardware signal is different, so that the command of the first hardware signal does not need to be converted, and the CPU module 111a responds to the first hardware signal and The second hardware signal is also set with different execution levels. When themachine tool 20 performs processing in accordance with the second hardware signal, after receiving the first hardware signal, themachine tool 20 will give priority to executing the The command of the first hardware signal (ie, emergency stop, speed override, or selection ofdifferent user interfaces 133 corresponding to different operation modes as mentioned in the preceding paragraph.

如此一來，在加工過程中一旦發生緊急狀況時，就可以在不需要擔心該觸控螢幕13的是否難以正確動作的情況下，確實的停止加工，另外，在機台實際動作時因為硬體設備的限制而需要微幅修改數值時，也能在不需要整個執行重新設定過程的狀況下修改輸入該工具機20的參數。In this way, in the event of an emergency during processing, you can stop processing without worrying about whether thetouch screen 13 is difficult to operate correctly. In addition, when the machine is actually operating due to the hardware When the value needs to be slightly modified due to the limitation of the equipment, the parameters input to themachine tool 20 can also be modified without the need to perform the entire resetting process.

特別說明，本發明並沒有限制該轉換卡裝置111d的種類，於不同的實施例中，依照裝置的設計需求，該轉換卡裝置111d可為一數位\類比轉換卡、一數位\數位轉換卡、或一位置控制卡，來轉換來自該觸控螢幕13的訊號。In particular, the invention does not limit the type of the conversion card device 111d. In different embodiments, the conversion card device 111d can be a digital\analog conversion card, a digital\digital conversion card, Or a position control card to convert the signal from thetouch screen 13.

回到該嵌入式主機11的該輸入輸出單元112，該輸入輸出單元112連接該工具機20，用已將該第一硬體訊號及該第二硬體訊號輸出至該工具機20以控制該工具機並取得來自該工具機20所回傳的該回饋訊號，該回饋訊號在詳細種類上，可包含如：工具機20的各種元件的狀態、是否有警報等等，而顯示於該使用者介面133。Returning to the input and output unit 112 of the embeddedhost 11, the input and output unit 112 is connected to themachine tool 20, and the first hardware signal and the second hardware signal have been output to themachine tool 20 to control themachine tool 20 The machine tool obtains the feedback signal returned from themachine tool 20.
