Tor example, when -0.1719 Hz atoning 06 8, te pre- determined number-3, thus medians of thee power datahav- ing lower valve are compute. “As shown in FIG. 16, in the present embodiment, the pre= determine search sections designated at an upstream dree- tion of one time Thea, the medians of predetermined mum- bers of power data having lower value within the respective search sections ae computed It is desirable that the search section includes wider duration han the fundamental period Ty ‘Nextthe search section shits to adowwstream dretion by 1 predetermined period, and executes and repeats the same processes deseribed shove. Then, an upper adjacent value With respect to a group of computed median power data is defined. This upper adjacent vale becomes the power thresh- old value It is desirable thatthe predetermined period be shorter than the fundamental period T,, and more preferably, to be about haf of the fundamental period Ty Here, the upper adjacent value is defined as maximum power data in range downstream of (upper hinge U)+(- spread hea). Further, the H-spread h indicates a diffrence between anupperhinge Vanda lower hinge. The upperhinge indicatesa median of data above the median ofl data (75h US 8,942,934 B2 19 percentile value). The lower hinge indicates a median of data below the median ofall data (2Sihpereentle value) par ‘ter “a” typically is 1.5, however, “a” is 2 inthe present ‘embodiment considering a margin o sucessfully detect the rising ‘The second order differential threshold value can be defined by a method oppositeto the power threshold vale. In detail by refering to FIG. 15, some power needs to perodi- cally exceed the seoond order differential threshold value. Accordingly, a valuc that allows a detection of power which periodically exceeds that value is defined asthe second order ‘deferential threshold valu, Inthe present embodiment, the predetermined search see- tionis designated tan upper direction ofacenain time. Inthe second onder differentia data within the search section, a median of predetermined mumber of power data having a higher value is computed. Nest, the search section is shifted ‘downstream by a predetemmined! duration and executes and repeats the same processes described above. And, a ewer adjacent value over a group of computed median is defined a the above second order differential threshold value. Her, the lower adjacent value indicates minimum power data in range above (lower hinge L)=(H-spread Ie). Acconlingly, the eyele start detector 12 detets a timing ‘when the power rises as the eycle start-point by using the Postfitering power data from the fitering process executor 123 and its second order differential value. The eyele start detector 112 configured t include a second order dfferen- tiarithmetic unit 124: a threshold value determiner 125;and ‘8 stactstime detector 126, In ation, the condition storage 102 stores the predetermined search section, the predeter- mined number, the predetermined duration, and the param ‘ter “The second onder differential arithmetic uit 124 executes «second onler differential arihmetie operation on the poste fering power data eoeived from te filering process execu tor 123. The second onder differential arithmetic unit 124 sends computed second order differential data andthe above Postfiltering power data to the threshold value detenniner 128 and the star-time devetor 126, As described above, the threshold value determiner 125 defines the poser threshold value and the second order df= ferential threshold value. The threshold value determiner 128 uses the post-fltering power data, the second ode differen til data from the second onder differential arithmetic unit 124, the predetermined search section, the predetermined number, the predetermined duration, andthe parameter “a” stored the coaition storage 1020 defi the two threshold ‘values. The threshold value determiner 125 seas the defined power threshold value and the defined second onder ifferen- tial threshold vale to the start-time detector 126, “The tart-time detector 126 detect a star-point ofa single «yele using the postfitering power data, the second order «lfferetil data, the power threshold vale, and the second ‘onder differential threshold value based on the above described rise detection coition.

The power threshold value and the second order diee- ential threshold valueaze fom the threshold value determiner 128. Thus, the eyele detector 25 ean dott the power data for a single-cyele portion. ‘Next, referring io FIG. 17, processes executed by the con teller 10 oftheabove configured energy moaitoring device 1 isdoscrbod.

As shown in FIG. 17, fist, the eyele detector 25 sequires power data having predetermined duration from the power s 20 data storage 30 (S20). Next, an FFT is executed on the soquired power data by the FFT unit 120 (S21) The fuada- rental frequency detector 121 detects fundamental fre- queney I, of periodic waveformusinga frequency spectrum, data quired by the FET and a design eycletime value D,, stored in the design value storage 100 (822), "Next, the funetion determiner 122 defines a function for use in filerng using the detected fundamental frequency f, sand the various parameters store in the parameter storage 101 (S23), Theo, the filtering executor 128 exceutes the fil- tering process on the power data using the defined funtion for filtering (S24), Next, the second onder differential arthmesic unit 124 computes a sacond order differential of the post-fitering power deta, The threshold determiner 128 then defines & power data threshold value and a second order differential threshold value using the second order differential data quired from the computation result, the post-fitering power data. and the various data being stored inthe condition storage 102 (S28). Next, the star-tme detector 126 detect a start- Point ofasingle-eycle using the defined power data threshold ‘alu, the defined second order difereatal threshold value, thepost-filtering power data, andthe socond onder differential data based on the rise detection condition ($26). Then, the cycle detector 25 detects power data ofa single cycle portion using the detected stat-point of the single-cyee, in which the power data of the single eycle potion i deteted fom the power data having a predetermined duration acquired from the pawer data storage 30, Then, the eye detector 25 outputs the power data ofthe single cycle portion (S27), Theater, the execution of processes is completed, Accordingly, the star-point of the single-eyele can be detected using the power data and the various defined values in the present embodiment, heace there is no need to use a ‘waveform pater, Inthe present embodiment, ming at which the power rises ‘sdefined asthe start-point of the single-cycle, however there exists some processing machines 3 that perform preparation {or the operations prior o stating the operations (se to FIG, 6) In this case, a stating point of preparation becomes 2 sar-point of a single-eyle, tus being shifted from the start- Point ofthe operation. Inaother Wor, the start-poiat ofthe Power rising is also shifted. However, in the operations of processing machine 3 the preparation period say be well- Known in advance, and/or power data from that period may often inclode unigue characteristics. Accordingly, the prepa ration start-time, namely the start-point ofthe single-eycl, can be easily detected by detecting the slart-poiat of power rising Further, similar to detecting te rising of power, falling of power may be detected. In his case, a period between the rising time of power and the filling time of power bosomes net operating-state period, (see FIG. 2), therefore anadded- value creating period ean be determined [Fourth Embodiment] "Neat, another embodiment of the preseat invention is described referring to FIGS. 18-20. FIG, 18 shows a sche> ratic configuration ofa cycle detector 25 included in acon teller 10 and a memory that stores data used by the eyele detector 28.
