JPH07307985A - Fault treating method/device for building equipment remote monitor system - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten the down time caused by the fault of a building equipment by selecting a worker who is working at a building nearest the building corresponding to the inputted building identification code out of a storage at a monitor station. CONSTITUTION:When an equipment of another building has a fault together with a signal inputted to a monitor center 12 and the names of the faulty equipment and the relevant building shown on a display device 12E respectively, the supervisor of the center 12 inputs the building code of the faulty equipment to an input device 12F. A monitor center controller 12B retrieves 3 storage 12D to check whether other workers are working in the same area as the building corresponding to the input building code. If other workers are not detected, the storage 12D is retrieved for the areas adjacent to the relevant area. Then the relevant worker and his building name are shown on the device 12E. Thus it is possible to quickly select the restoring worker when the abnormality of a building equipment is detected.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a failure handling method and apparatus for a building equipment remote monitoring system, and more particularly to a failure handling method and apparatus for a building equipment remote monitoring system suitable for early restoration of equipment equipment in which an abnormality has occurred. Regarding

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as described in JP-A-59-108192, a general subscriber telephone line or the like is used to report an abnormal signal such as a failure of a facility device to a remote monitoring center for monitoring a facility abnormality in a distant place. The remote monitoring center that received the abnormality,
The department in charge of the work in the area of the building where the equipment is installed was contacted, and a worker was dispatched from the department in charge to repair the failure of the equipment.

[0003]

In the above prior art, the monitoring station, which is the remote monitoring center that has received the abnormality of the equipment, calls the department in charge of the work of the building in which the equipment having the abnormality is installed. This person in charge looks at the schedules of a plurality of workers and contacts the worker who is working in the building closest to the building to instruct the restoration of the abnormal equipment. In this way, it takes a lot of time because the communication system from the failure reception of the equipment to the recovery instruction of the worker is complicated, and the department in charge can grasp the worker's work site of the day from the schedule, When there are multiple planned work sites, it is not always possible to select the worker who is closest to the building where the abnormality occurred in the equipment, because the work locations of all the workers when the abnormality in the equipment is received are not known. There was also a problem.

An object of the present invention is to provide a failure coping method for a building equipment remote monitoring system capable of selecting a worker who is working in a building closest to a building in which equipment where an abnormality occurs in a monitoring station is installed. To provide the device.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a monitored station which reports an abnormality of equipment installed in a building, and a transmitted signal from the monitored station via a communication line. And a monitoring station for remotely monitoring the equipment for abnormalities, wherein the monitoring station deals with the restoration of the abnormality of the equipment. At the time of periodic inspection work of equipment, the monitored station sends the building identification code and the worker identification code input by the worker to the monitoring station, and the monitoring station stores the worker identification code in the storage device. The building identification code is stored, and the worker working in the closest building corresponding to the building identification code is selected from the storage device.

[0006]

In this way, the monitoring station can select the worker who is working in the building closest to the building corresponding to the input building identification code from the storage device. When an abnormality occurs, a restoration worker can be quickly selected, and downtime due to a failure of equipment can be shortened.

[0007]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, in an elevator which is one of building facilities, a car 1 and a counterweight 2 are connected by a sheave 3A and a rope 4 via a deflecting wheel 3B, and a sheave 3A.
Is rotated to move up and down in the hoistway 5 in opposite directions.
Further, the car 1 and the elevator control device 6 are connected by a cable 7, and the abnormality detection device 8 is connected to the elevator control device 6, and constantly monitors a plurality of predetermined signals of the elevator control device 6 to detect a logical defect or abnormality. The occurrence is detected and an abnormality occurrence signal is output to the communication device 10 via the control device 9 of the connected terminal device. An input selection 11 such as a keyboard or a numeric keypad is connected to the control device 9 of the terminal device. When the communication device 10 receives an abnormality occurrence signal from the control device 9 of the terminal device, the communication device 10 automatically dials the communication device 12A of the monitoring center 12 and outputs the abnormality occurrence signal to the monitoring center 12 via the telephone line 13.

The communication device 12A is a monitoring center control device 12B that controls the monitoring equipment of the monitoring center 12.
And the telephone 12C, and the monitoring center controller 12B
Are connected to a storage device 12D, a display device 12E, and an input device 12F such as a keyboard.

When performing the inspection work on the elevator, the worker first inputs the identification number preset by himself / herself into the control device of the terminal device with the input device 11 (step S1). The control device 9 of the terminal device causes the communication device 10 to output the building code of the building and the input identification number of the worker from the terminal device 14 to the monitoring center 12 via the telephone line 13 (step S2).

Next, the communication device 12A of the monitoring center 12 receives the building code and the identification number of the worker (step S
3) The monitoring center control device 12B searches the storage device 12D to see if the worker has already performed work in another building and is stored in the storage device 12D (step S4). If not, register it in the storage device 12D. If it is stored in the storage device 12D (step S5), the data is updated to the newly input building code (step S6).

Next, when the equipment of another building breaks down, a signal is input to the monitoring center, and the name of the abnormal device and the name of the building are displayed on the display device 12E, the monitoring center 12
When the monitoring staff enters the building code of the abnormal equipment device into the input device 12F, the monitoring center control device 12B stores in the storage device whether or not another worker is working in the area of the building corresponding to this building code. 12D is searched, and when there is no other worker in the same region, the storage device 12D is searched for a region adjacent to this region, and the corresponding worker and the name of the building in which the worker is working are displayed on the display device 12E. (Step S7).

In this embodiment, when selecting a worker for failure recovery, the input device 12F is used to input the building code in which an abnormality has occurred, and a search is performed. However, the terminal device 14 of the building in which an abnormality has occurred is called. Line 13 and communication device 12B
The same effect can be obtained by using the building code input to the monitoring center control device 12B via the.

[0014]

According to the present invention, the monitoring station can select the worker who is working in the building closest to the building corresponding to the inputted building identification code from the storage device. It is possible to quickly select a restoration worker when an abnormality occurs in the equipment, and reduce the downtime due to a failure of the equipment.
