1. A display system provided in production equipment including a packaging machine that produces a product and includes one or more driving means comprising a motor configured to perform driving of the production equipment and one or more monitoring means comprising a sensor configured to perform monitoring production of the production equipment, the display system comprising:
a control unit comprising at least one processor;
a display unit;
a storage unit comprising a memory,
wherein the storage unit is configured to store:
schematic illustration data representing a schematic illustration of the production equipment;
causal relationship model data specifying at least two cause elements including a first cause element and a second cause element that can cause a first abnormality to occur in the production equipment, the at least two cause elements are selected from among at least one of the one or more driving means or the one or more monitoring means and represented as a causal relationship model together with a relationship between the at least two cause elements; and
operating state data to represent an operating state of the packaging machine, and
wherein the control unit is configured to display the schematic illustration and the causal relationship model based on the operating state on the display unit so that the causal relationship model is superimposed on the schematic illustration so as to correspond to the schematic illustration,
wherein in the causal relationship model data, a first node represents the first cause element, a second node represents the second cause element, and an arrow is drawn from the first node pointing to the second node, the arrow represents the relationship between the at least two cause elements indicating the first cause element affects the second cause element,
wherein the causal relationship model data including the first node, the second node, and the arrow are superimposed on the schematic illustration of the production equipment;
the display system further comprising:
an input unit,
wherein the storage unit is further configured to store the causal relationship model data related to a second abnormality to occur in the production equipment, the second abnormality is different from the first abnormality,
wherein the control unit is configured to receive a selection of one abnormality from the first abnormality or the second abnormality via the input unit, and
wherein the control unit is configured to display the causal relationship model corresponding to a selected abnormality on the display unit, in response to the selection.
