SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(Always read these instructions before using the products.)
When designing the system, always read the relevant manuals and give sufficient consideration to safety.
During the exercise, pay full attention to the following points and handle the product correctly.
[EXERCISE PRECAUTIONS]
WARNING
● Do not touch the terminals while the power is on to prevent electric shock.
● Before opening the safety cover, turn off the power or ensure the safety.
CAUTION
● Follow the instructor's direction during the exercise.
● Do not remove the module of the demonstration machine or change wirings without permission.
Doing so may cause failures, malfunctions, personal injuries and/or a fire.
● Turn off the power before mounting or removing the module.
Failure to do so may result in malfunctions of the module or electric shock.
● When the demonstration machine (such as X/Y table) emits abnormal odor/sound, press the "Power
switch" or "Emergency switch" to turn off.
● When a problem occurs, notify the instructor as soon as possible.

5 EXERCISE 1 ANALYSIS AND DIAGNOSIS WITH
SIMILAR WAVEFORM RECOGNITION
In the similar waveform recognition, data logging is performed from the CPU module using the SLMP data collector and a
reference waveform is generated as a reference for diagnosis. With Similar Waveform Recognition Tool, the data input in real
time is compared with the reference waveform to diagnose whether it is similar to the normal pattern. If any waveform is
different from the reference waveform (similarity score is lower than the threshold), a feedback is sent to the CPU module.
"Page 17 Operation overview" describes that the operation is divided into three phases of data logging, data analysis, and
data diagnosis. Each phase is data communication between devices and applications as shown below.

5.1 Overview of Similar Waveform Recognition Tool
Similar Waveform Recognition Tool is an edge application that consists of the following functions.
• A function for automatically learning a given reference cyclic waveform (reference waveform). This function learns even a
waveform of which the cycle is not constant or in which multiple patterns are switched as the characteristic of the normal
cyclic waveform.
• A function for diagnosing the similarity between a waveform (inspection waveform) input as a diagnosis target and a
learned waveform at high-speed and calculating an index for representing similarity (similarity score).
• A function for notifying both Real-time Flow Manager and users of the diagnosis result calculated based on the similarity
score.

5.3 Data Analysis
This section describes the procedure for creating a diagnosis criterion (reference waveform learning data) for an inspection
waveform used for data diagnosis based on the data collected in the data logging flow.
Creating reference waveform learning data
Operation overview in waveform learning

The following describes the operation overview in waveform learning.
The waveform (partial waveform) corresponding to the number of records in the unit waveform width is extracted from the
reference waveform included in the learning period, shifting one record at a time, to generate a partial waveform group.
The partial waveform group is used as an index to see how similar a waveform is to the inspection waveform during the data
diagnosis flow.
Detailed operation in waveform learning is as follows:
 Import a waveform for the period specified as the learning period.
 Analyze and learn the shape of the waveform (partial waveform) for the number of records specified in the unit waveform
width.
 Repeat  for each record (collection cycle).
 The analysis ends when all partial waveforms included in a learning period have been learned and all partial waveforms
have been saved in a reference waveform learning data file.

5.4 Data Diagnosis
The data diagnosis function monitors the inspection waveform input from Real-time Flow Manager and notifies Real-time Flow
Manager of the number of waveforms that differ from the reference waveform (the similarity score is lower than the threshold)
and the difference from the similarity score threshold.
The inspection waveform can be displayed in real time by connecting GX LogViewer.
In addition, the diagnosed inspection waveform and diagnosis result data can be saved in a file (the diagnosis result file can
be output) and the diagnosis status can be checked after the diagnosis
• GX LogViewer is installed at the same time when installing Real-time Data Analyzer.
• When the load on an industrial personal computer is high, the limit of the processing performance may be
exceeded and the similarity diagnosis may stop. Before starting an actual operation, monitor the load of the
industrial personal computer and check that a similarity diagnosis does not stop by referring to the following.

assigned to an alarm or lamp to notify of an
error and be used for preventive
maintenance. 5

6 EXERCISE 2 ANALYSIS AND DIAGNOSIS WITH
SPC
SPC perform data logging using the SLMP data collector from the CPU module and creates SPC rules diagnosis rules. Data
input in real time is diagnosed according to SPC rules, and feedback is executed when an abnormality is detected.
"Page 17 Operation overview" describes that the operation is divided into three phases of data logging, data analysis, and
data diagnosis. Each phase is data communication between devices and applications as shown below.

6.1 Overview of Real-time Statistic Diagnosis Tool
Real-time Statistic Diagnosis Tool is an edge application that analyzes and diagnoses CSV file data output by Real-time Flow
Manager using statistical methods and multivariate analysis.
Real-time Statistic Diagnosis Tool can mainly perform the following operations.
• Read a CSV file, analyze the data in the CSV file, and create diagnosis rules.
• Perform diagnosis based on the set rule, and when an abnormality is detected, notify the abnormality by outputting the
response data file or displaying a pop-up on the screen.
Software components
Real-time Statistic Diagnosis Tool consists of the following software.
Software Description
Reader Reads a CSV file output to a specified folder and registers it to the internal database.
Analyzer Analyzes and diagnoses the data in the internal database registered by Reader.
Monitor Diagnoses whether Analyzer has detected an abnormality.
After a diagnosis, the detection result is displayed on the screen and a response data file is output.
The operation flow of each software when working with Real-time Flow Manager is as follows.

 Real-time Flow Manager outputs the data collected in a production site to a specified folder as a CSV file.
 Reader reads the CSV file and registers it to the internal database of Real-time Statistic Diagnosis Tool.
 Analyzer references the data registered in the internal database.
 A user analyzes the data offline and set collection data to be diagnosed and diagnosis rules by using Analyzer.
 Analyzer starts a diagnosis according to the set diagnosis rule.
 When an abnormality is detected, Analyzer registers the abnormality to the internal database.
 Monitor monitors whether Analyzer has registered an abnormality to the internal database, then outputs a response data
file to a specified folder when the registration of an abnormality is detected.
 Real-time Flow Manager checks the output of a response data file and executes feedback when the output is detected.

6.1 Overview of Real-time Statistic Diagnosis Tool 71
6.2 SPC
The data in the CSV file read by Reader is evaluated with SPC rules and diagnosed by calculating the statistic for each
variable in each section.
The SPC (Statistical Process Control) is a method to visually diagnose the changes in the statistics of production data using
the abnormality judgment rule (SPC rule) defined by JIS. SPC can be used to detect signs of abnormalities in the
manufacturing process before they occur.

Appendix 6 MQTT Broker Setup
MQTT
MQTT is a Publish/Subscribe messaging predefined protocol.
MQTT classifies the sending side of the message into Publisher and receiving side of the message into Subscriber, and the
Broker relays the message.
The Publisher can send messages to the server without considering Subscribers, while the server is responsible for receiving,
managing, and properly publishing those messages to Subscribers.
Therefore, MQTT is suitable for data communication in a low-band network environment and a communication environment
with long waiting time.
The MQTT Broker whose operation has been confirmed by Edgecross Consortium is Eclipse Mosquitto.
