Abstract

In a controller and a machine learning device capable of suppressing an influence of an abnormal value based on noise, etc., the machine learning device included in the controller includes a state observation unit for acquiring input data including at least one of internal data and external data of the manufacturing machine controlled by the controller, an input safety circuit for detecting an abnormality in the input data and outputting safe input data, a machine learning unit for executing learning of a learning model and inference using the learning model based on the safe input data and outputting inference data as an inference result, an output safety circuit for detecting an abnormality in the inference data and outputting safe inference data, and an output unit for outputting output data based on the safe inference data.

Claims (20)

1. A controller for controlling a manufacturing machine, the controller comprising

a machine learning device learning a state related to a manufacturing machine as an environment,

wherein the machine learning device includes

a state observation unit for acquiring input data including at least one of internal data and external data of the manufacturing machine,

an input safety circuit for detecting an abnormality in the input data and outputting safe input data,
