`
`WHAT IS CLAIMED IS
`
`1. A manufacturing device monitoring system comprising
`
`a plurality of manufacturing devices; and
`
`a remote monitoring device that is connected to the plurality of
`
`manufacturing devices via a communication network and is cap able of remotely
`
`operating the plurality of manufacturing devices,
`
`wherein each of the plurality of manufacturing devices includes
`
`a work unit,
`
`10
`
`an equipment notifier,
`
`an error detector that detects an error occurring in the work unit, and
`
`an error notifier that determines whether or not the error detected by
`
`the error detector can be corrected by an operation from the remote monitoring
`
`device, notifies the remote monitoring device of the occurrence of the error in a
`
`case where the error can be corrected, and operates the equipment notifier to
`
`notify a first notification pattern in a case where the error cannot be corrected.
`
`2. The manufacturing device monitoring system of Claim 1,
`
`wherein the error notifier operates the equipment notifier to notify a
`
`second notification pattern in a case where an error detected by the error
`
`detector can be corrected by an operation from the remote monitoring device.
`
`3. The manufacturing device monitoring system of Claim 1,
`
`wherein the manufacturing device includes error information that
`
`defines an error that can be corrected by an operation from the remote
`
`monitoring device, and
`
`the error notifier determines whether or not the error can be corrected

`
`
`
`P 1008626_PIPM_SPE_EN_180406. doc
`
`by an operation from the remote monitoring device by collating the error
`
`detected by the error detector with the error information.
`
`4. The manufacturing device monitoring system of Claim 1,
`
`wherein the error notifier determines whether an error can be corrected
`
`by an operation from the remote monitoring device based on an error detected
`
`by the error detector and a device state of the manufacturing device.
`
`5. The manufacturing device monitoring system of Claim 4,
`
`10
`
`wherein the device state contains an operation state indicating that an
`
`operation unit that operates the manufacturing device is operated.
`
`6. The manufacturing device monitoring system of Claim 4,
`
`wherein the device state contains a safety state indicating whether the
`
`15
`
`manufacturing device can be safely operated.
`
`7. The manufacturing device monitoring system of Claim 4,
`
`wherein the device
`
`state contains
`
`function setting information
`
`indicating whether the manufacturing device can accept a remote operation by
`
`20
`
`the remote monitoring device.
`
`8. The manufacturing device monitoring system of Claim 4,
`
`wherein the device state contains license information for allowing the
`
`manufacturing device to accept a remote operation by the remote monitoring
`
`25
`
`device .
`
`9. A manufacturing device that is connected to a remote monitoring
`
`20
`
`
`
`P 1008626_PIPM_SPE_EN_180406. doc
`
`device via a communication network and is capable of performing a remote
`
`operation by the remote monitoring device,
`
`the manufacturing device
`
`comprising
`
`a work unit;
`
`an equipment notifier;
`
`an error detector that detects an error occurring in the work unit; and
`
`an error notifier that determines Whether or not an error detected by
`
`the error detector can be corrected by an operation from the remote monitoring
`
`device, notifies the remote monitoring device of the occurrence of the error in a
`
`case Where the error can be corrected, and operates the equipment notifier to
`
`notify a first notification pattern in a case Where the error cannot be corrected.
`
`10. The manufacturing device of Claim 9,
`
`wherein the error notifier operates the equipment notifier to notify a
`
`second notification pattern in a case Where an error detected by the error
`
`detector can be corrected by an operation from the remote monitoring device.
`
`11. The manufacturing device of Claim 9,
`
`Wherein the manufacturing device includes error information that
`
`defines an error that can be corrected by an operation from the remote
`
`monitoring device, and
`
`the error notifier determines Whether or not the error can be corrected
`
`by an operation from the remote monitoring device by collating the error
`
`detected by the error detector With the error information.
`
`10
`
`15
`
`20
`
`25
`
`12. The manufacturing device of Claim 9,
`
`wherein the error notifier determines Whether or not an error can be
`
`21
`
`
`
`P 1008626_PIPM_SPE_EN_180406. doc
`
`corrected by an operation from the remote monitoring device based on an error
`
`detected by the error detector and a device state of the manufacturing device.
`
`13. The manufacturing device of Claim 12,
`
`wherein the device state contains an operation state indicating that an
`
`operation unit that operates the manufacturing device is operated.
