Abstract:
A control apparatus for controlling a production or manufacturing apparatus that performs processing for sequentially producing an item to be produced through units arranged in a line, includes: a physical quantity acquirer that acquires a physical quantity representing a state of processing in a unit subjected to monitoring for each cycle, the cycle being defined as unit processing time of processing performed by each unit; an abnormality determiner that determines occurrence of an abnormality in the unit, based on the physical quantity or a feature value extracted from the physical quantity; and a control instructor that specifies, when it is determined that an abnormality occurs in the unit, a cycle during which a downstream unit performs processing on an item to be produced that is affected by the abnormality, and perform control so that abnormality handling processing is performed as processing in the specified cycle by the downstream unit.

Claim (Index 1):
An industrial control apparatus for controlling a production apparatus that performs processing for sequentially producing an item to be produced through a plurality of units that are arranged in a line from an upstream side toward a downstream side, the industrial control apparatus comprising:\n a physical quantity acquirer configured to acquire a physical quantity that represents a state of processing in a unit that is subjected to monitoring, of the plurality of units, for each cycle, a cycle being defined as a unit of processing time of processing performed by each of the plurality of units; an abnormality determiner configured to determine occurrence of an abnormality in the unit that is subjected to monitoring, based on the acquired physical quantity or a feature value that is extracted from the physical quantity; and a control instructor configured to specify, in a case where it is determined that an abnormality has occurred in the unit that is subjected to monitoring, a cycle during which a downstream unit performs processing on an item to be produced that is affected by the abnormality, and perform control so that abnormality handling processing is performed as processing in the specified cycle by the downstream unit.
