Patent ID: 7391336

Claim:
An anomaly monitoring system for a molding machine, which the system detects that at least a molding machine in continuous operation stops because of an anomaly and transmits a detection report to a conununication terminal at a remote location by means of communication means, the system comprising: at least one detection section which is provided in a conductive line of at least one molding machine, the state of electrification of the conductive line changing as a result of anomalous stoppage of the molding machine and the detection section detecting the electrification state of the conductive line; a data processing section having at least one input port to which the detection section is connected, wherein, when a detection signal indicating the electrification state of the conductive line is provided from the detection section, the data processing section outputs data regarding a mail address and a message prepared in accordance with the input port having received the detection signal and the electrification state; and a mail transmission section which receives the data output from the data processing section and sends an electronic mail containing the message to a communication terminal corresponding to the mail address, wherein the data processing section is configured to allow setting an arbitrary number of recipient mail addresses to which an electric mail is to be transmitted, and to allow individually setting, for each of the time of anomalous stoppage, the time of resumption, and the time of retransmission, data representing whether to transmit the electronic mail.
