ABSTRACT

A cell controller controls a machining cell including a plurality of work
resources. The plurality of work resources include at least one processing
machine and at least one robot. The cell controller includes a PLC and a
management device. The PLC controls operation of the work resources in
accordance with an instruction from the management device, and acquires
conditions of a plurality of work elements including the work resources and a
workpiece. The management device, in response to occurrence of abnormal stop
of the machining cell, specifies a recoverable condition of each work element,
and presents to an operator a guide to a recovery procedure that enables each
work element to transition to the recoverable condition.
