Description

Control device Technical Field The present invention relates to a control device. Background When an industrial machine such as a machine tool or a robot is operated, for example, when an operation is performed during an installation operation before machining, an operator performs the operation while checking different types of information. For example, a control device for controlling an industrial machine has a function of dividing a display screen of a display device into tile-shaped divided areas and displaying different types of information in the divided areas (patent document 1, etc.) so that a plurality of different types of information can be referenced in 1 screen. However, there is a limit to the size and the number of pixels of a display screen of a display device. Therefore, particularly when it is necessary to display an amount of information that cannot be stored in 1 screen, such as a setting operation, it is necessary to perform an operation while switching information displayed in divided areas divided in the screen. Such switching of the display is performed by operating a vertical movement soft key, a horizontal movement soft key, a mechanical operation panel, or the like. Prior art literature Patent literature Patent document 1 Japanese patent laid-open No. 2000-066709 Disclosure of Invention Problems to be solved by the invention In the case of displaying a plurality of information categories while switching the plurality of divided areas in this way, it is necessary to define in advance what information category can be displayed in each divided area. In a job performed with reference to a large amount of information, not only a single information category but also a plurality of information categories are often referred to in parallel to perform the job. Therefore, it is necessary to define which information category can be displayed in which divided area in consideration of the industrial content. It is preferable to define the information type in consideration of which position on the screen is displayed and which information type is easy to observe. Therefore, means for defining what information types can be displayed in each divided area in a switching manner while grasping the entire area is desired. Means for solving the problems The control device of the invention divides 1 display screen into a plurality of divided areas, can display different information types for each divided area, and provides a user interface screen capable of editing the information types displayed for each divided area. In the screen, the position of each divided area on the display screen is displayed in association with a list display of information types that can be displayed in the divided area. By this display, the operator can grasp the information types that can be displayed in the divided areas at a glance. Further, from among all the information categories that can be displayed by the control device, a predetermined information category can be added to a list of information categories that can be displayed in each divided area, for example, by a drag-and-drop operation. The control device comprises a display control unit that switches information that can be displayed in each of a plurality of divided regions, a display information category editing screen display unit that displays, for each of the plurality of divided regions, a display information category editing screen that displays a list of information categories that can be displayed in association with a first display that can visually identify the position of the divided region on the display screen and a second display that represents a list of information categories that can be displayed in the divided region, and a display information category editing unit that receives an editing operation for the second display and edits a list of information categories that can be displayed in the divided region based on the editing operation, wherein the display control unit controls the switching of information categories in each of the plurality of divided regions based on the list of information categories that can be displayed in association with each of the divided regions after editing by the display information category editing unit. Effects of the invention According to one aspect of the present invention, the information types that can be displayed in each divided area can be displayed in a list, and the information types that can be displayed in each divided area can be freely selected, so that the visual confirmatory of the operator is improved, the burden on the operator is reduced, and the operation time is reduced.
