The present invention makes it possible to easily identify identification information corresponding to a target device when one or more pieces of identification information found by device search processing are presented as a list. A device search unit 211 of an upper-level terminal 2 searches for a surrounding lower-level terminal 1 capable of wireless communication, and executes device search processing for presenting, as a list, identification information about the found lower-level terminal 1. At that time, a list presentation unit 211c associates a specific lower-level terminal 1 with the identification information about the specific lower-level terminal 1 on the basis of operation information about hardware included in the specific lower-level terminal 1, and presents the list in such a manner that the identification information included in response data including operation information indicating that the hardware of the lower-level terminal 1 has been operated can be distinguished from other identification information. Thus, the identification information about the target lower-level terminal 1 can be easily identified.
The present invention provides a mechanism by which a plurality of upper-level terminals do not redundantly register identification information about the same device in a communication system. The plurality of upper-level terminals 2 store, as shared information, the identification information about a lower-level terminal 1 registered in a management apparatus 3, and among the pieces of identification information acquired from one or more lower-level terminals 1 by device search processing in the management apparatus 3, register, in the management apparatus 3, the pieces of identification information about the lower-level terminals 1 other than the lower-level terminal 1 indicated by the shared information. Thus, among the pieces of identification information about the one or more lower-level terminals 1 found by the device search processing, the upper-level terminal 2 makes it possible to recognize the pieces of identification information registered in the management apparatus 3 and register only the other pieces of identification information in the management apparatus 3.

Machine tool and method of deciding tool moving path
A controller of a machine tool acquires coordinates of a first machining start point of an eccentric shape in a reference phase of a workpiece around a spindle axis, a second machining start point in an anti-phase, a first machining end point in the reference phase, and a second machining end point in the anti-phase. The controller decides a moving path of the tool in association with rotation of the workpiece at least according to the coordinates of the first start point, the second start point, the first end point, and the second end point to form the eccentric shape around an eccentric axis passing a start point origin between the first start point and the second start point and an end point origin between the first end point and the second end point and thereby controls movement of the tool in association with rotation of the workpiece.
The present invention provides a machine tool which makes tool replacement easy. Provided is a machine tool 1 comprising a main spindle 31 which holds a workpiece W and which is rotatable about a main spindle center line CL1, and a cutting tool rest 5, wherein: the cutting tool rest 5 has a quad rotating tool unit 53 to which is installed a rotating tool 93a on one side that machines the workpiece W and which is capable of turning about a first turning axis line B1 that is along a Y1 axis direction orthogonal to the main spindle center line CL1, and a turning base 52 to which the quad rotating tool unit 53 is attached; and the quad rotating tool unit 53 is detachable from the turning base 52.
A controller of a machine tool determines in accordance with a machining program whether a first tool post is used to machine an unfinished workpiece. When the unfinished workpiece needs machining before terminating a continuous machining and when the controller determines that the first tool post is used to machine the unfinished workpiece W2, the controller simultaneously advances a first system and a second system in accordance with the machining program while preventing machining a workpiece held by the first spindle. When the controller determines that the first tool post is not used to machine the unfinished workpiece, the controller stops the first system and advances the second system in accordance with the machining program.

The drawer control apparatus 1 includes a command receiving unit 12, a drawer connection detecting unit 14, a command processing unit 111, a drawer open/closed signal receiving unit 15, and an open trigger discriminating unit 113. The command processing unit 111 executes a drawer open command process upon receiving a drawer open command. The drawer open command process includes sending a drawer open signal and setting a process execution flag upon detecting presence of drawer connection. The drawer open command process ends upon detecting absence of drawer connection. The drawer open/closed signal receiving unit 15 receives an open/closed signal from the drawer 8. The open trigger discriminating unit 113 discriminates whether the drawer open state is triggered by the drawer open command process or otherwise according to a set state of the process execution flag upon receiving the signal representing the drawer open state.
Provided is a drawer control device for determining with high accuracy whether the opening of a drawer device is due to a drawer-opening command process or is due to another method. This drawer control device 1 is provided with: a command reception unit 12 for receiving commands; a connection detection unit 14 for detecting whether a drawer device 8 connection exists; a command processing unit 111 for beginning a drawer-opening command process upon reception of a drawer-opening command, transmitting a drawer-opening signal for opening the drawer device 8 and setting a process execution flag when the detection result from the connection detection unit 14 indicates that there is connection, and ending the drawer-opening command process when the detection result indicates that there is no connection; an opening/closing signal reception unit 15 for receiving an open/closed signal indicating the open/closed state of the drawer device 8; and an opening cause determination unit 113 for determining, on the basis of whether the process execution flag has been set, whether the drawer device 8 has been opened by the drawer-opening command process, when the open/closed signal indicates an open state.
The printer (10) of the present disclosure is a printer connectable to a network (30) and an information processing terminal (20), including a control section (15) configured to: when obtaining data in accordance with the network class from the information processing terminal (20), extract a first frame based on a first communication standard used for communications between the printer (10) and the network (30), from the data; when determining that destination information included in the first frame specifies the printer (10), extract and interpret print information included in the first frame; and when determining that the destination information included in the first frame does not specify the printer (10), forward the first frame to the network (30).
A machine tool capable of reducing entry of a workpiece chip into a product discharge chute.
