Motor control device, method for controlling motor control device, control program, and storage medium
In a technique for reducing the number of input terminals of a motor control device, flexibility of designing is improved. A terminal allocating section ( 23 ) is provided for setting, in accordance with selection by a user, which of a plurality of input terminals ( 11 ) is to be allocated to each of a plurality of function input terminals ( 21 ).
1. A motor control device, comprising:
a plurality of input terminals to which an input-side external device is connected;
a plurality of function input terminals which are included in a main control section of the motor control device and which correspond to a plurality of functions of the motor control device, respectively; and
a terminal allocating section for setting, in accordance with selection by a user, which of the plurality of input terminals is to be allocated to each of the plurality of function input terminals,
the motor control device further comprising a timing control section which, with respect to each of at least one of the plurality of input terminals, in accordance with selection by the user, causes timing of supplying a first function input terminal with a signal having been supplied to said at least one input terminal to be different from timing of supplying a second function input terminal with the signal, the first function input terminal and the second function input terminal being included in the plurality of function input terminals and being different from each other.
2. The motor control device as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising a display output section which, with respect to each of at least one of the plurality of input terminals, causes a display device to display correspondence between said at least one input terminal and one of the plurality of function input terminals to which one said at least one input terminal has been allocated.
3. A method for controlling a motor control device including a plurality of input terminals to which an input-side external device is connected,
said method comprising:
a terminal allocating step of setting, in accordance with selection by a user, which of the plurality of input terminal is to be allocated to each of a plurality of function input terminals which are included in a main control section of the motor control device and which correspond to a plurality of functions of the motor control device, respectively; and
a timing control step of, with respect to each of at least one of the plurality of input terminals, in accordance with selection by the user, causing timing of supplying a first function input terminal with a signal having been supplied to said at least one input terminal to be different from timing of supplying a second function input terminal with the signal, the first function input terminal and the second function input terminal being included in the plurality of function input terminals and being different from each other.
4. A computer-readable and non-transitory storage medium in which a control program for causing a computer to carry out a method for controlling a motor control device as set forth in claim 3 is stored.
