Description creation device 10

Fig. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a description creation device 10 according to the present embodiment. The instruction manual generation device 10 is a device that generates an instruction manual for the operation of the automatic control apparatus. The description creation device 10 is, for example, a personal computer.

The automatic control device is an air conditioner (air conditioner 410 described later), a lighting device, or the like. For example, if it is an air conditioner, a temperature detector is used to detect the indoor temperature. Then, based on the detected indoor temperature, a control operation (temperature control) of the control valve (two-way valve or the like) is performed so that the set indoor temperature is reached. The control operation is not limited to temperature control, and there are a plurality of operations such as humidity control. The operation instruction manual describes such control operations and the like.

The instruction manual generation device 10 has a CPU (Central Processing Unit: central processing unit) 11 and a memory 12. Which are communicatively connected to each other via a bus. The Memory 12 has a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory: random access Memory), and a storage device.

The CPU 11 reads and executes the program stored in the ROM into the RAM, and realizes various functions of the description creation device 10. The ROM stores programs executed by the CPU 11. The RAM is a work area when the CPU 11 executes a program, temporarily stores the program, data when the program is executed, and the like. The storage device is, for example, an HDD (HARD DISK DRIVE: hard disk drive), an SSD (Solid STATE DRIVE: solid state drive), or the like.

The memory 12 stores a program (an execution file of software) of the specification generation tool. The specification generation tool is a tool (software) for generating an operation specification of the automatic control device. The program of the instruction manual generation tool is stored in a ROM or a storage device. The CPU 11 reads the program of the instruction manual generation tool from the memory 12, and starts the instruction manual generation tool.

The instruction book generating device 10 is connected to an input device 21 such as a keyboard and a mouse, a display device 22 such as a display, and a printer 23. When the instruction manual generation tool is started, an input screen (fig. 3 to 5, etc.) of the instruction manual generation tool is displayed on the display device 22.

After the instruction sheet generating tool is started, the user inputs the design drawing information using the input device 21. The design drawing information is information related to a design drawing for designing an automatic control device (air conditioning device 410, etc.).

The design drawing information contains device configuration information, control action information, and machine information. The device configuration information is information related to the configuration of the automatic control device. For specific examples, fig. 3 is used, as will be described later. The control action information is information related to the control action. For specific examples, fig. 4 is used, which will be described later. The machine information is information on a machine (a measuring machine and a control machine) for performing a control operation of the automatic control apparatus. For specific examples, fig. 5 is used, which will be described later.

The instruction manual generation tool outputs an operation instruction manual based on the input information.

The maintenance person is an operator belonging to a maintenance company who has signed a maintenance contract for the automatic control device. The operation instruction (for maintenance) is an instruction used by a maintenance company, and the maintenance work is performed using the instruction. The operation instruction (for maintenance) may be used when the automatic control device is provided. In this case, the operation instruction (for maintenance) is also presented to the person who performs the installation work of the automatic control device.

The generated operation instruction manual (for a customer) and operation instruction manual (for maintenance) can be output from the printer 23.

Building management System 1

Fig. 2 is a block diagram of the building management system 1 as an object of the operation instruction generated by the instruction manual generating device 10. The building management system 1 has a server device (also referred to as a "central monitoring device") 100, a main controller 200, local controllers 310, 320, and automatic control devices 410, 420, 430, 440.

In the present embodiment, the automatic control device 410 is an air conditioning device, also referred to as an air conditioning device 410. The automatic control device 420 is a lighting device, also referred to as lighting device 420. The automatic control devices 430, 440 are other automatic control devices, but may be air conditioning devices, or lighting devices.

The present example is merely an example of the building management system 1, and the number of controllers and automatic control devices is not limited to this, and the controllers and automatic control devices may be arbitrarily configured. In the present embodiment, the description creation device 10 creates an operation description of the air conditioner 410 as an example of the automatic control device. Further, the present invention is not limited to this, and an operation instruction of the lighting device 420 or the like may be generated, an operation instruction of another device may be generated, or an operation instruction of a plurality of automatic control devices may be generated in a lump.

In the building management system 1, various signals input and output to and from the respective mobile control devices are finally collected in the server device (central monitoring device) 100, and the collected various signals (for example, temperature and the like) can be monitored.

The server apparatus 100 is configured to be able to communicate with the main controller 200. The main controller 200 is configured to be able to communicate with the local controllers 310, 320, respectively. The local controller 310 is configured to be able to communicate with the air conditioner 410 and the lighting device 420, respectively. The local controller 320 is configured to be able to communicate with the automation devices 430, 440, respectively.

In this embodiment, the main controller 200 is a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller: programmable logic controller). The main controller 200 has CPU, ROM, RAM and a communication interface. Which are communicatively connected to each other via a bus.

The main controller 200 communicates with the server apparatus 100 and the local controllers 310, 320 via a communication interface. In the present embodiment, the local controllers 310 and 320 are PLCs. Hereinafter, the master controller and the local controller are also referred to as "PLC".

The local controllers 310, 320 also have CPU, ROM, RAM and communication interfaces. The local controller 310 inputs and outputs input and output signals of the automatic control devices 410, 420 via the I/O interface. The local controller 320 inputs and outputs various input and output signals of the automatic control devices 430, 440 via the I/O interface.

Each automatic control device has a machine for performing a control action. The machine comprises a plurality of measuring machines and a plurality of control machines. For example, the air conditioner 410 includes a measurement machine group 411 and a control machine group 412 as machines. The input/output signal is a signal related to the control operation, and is a signal output from the measuring device and a signal input to the control device.

As described later, the measurement device group 411 includes an indoor temperature detector and the like. The control unit 412 includes a two-way valve for hot and cold water. For example, the air conditioner 410 performs indoor temperature control as a control operation using an indoor temperature detector in the measuring device group 411 and a cold and hot water two-way valve in the control device group 412. Such control operation is described in the operation specifications shown in fig. 10 and 11, which will be described later.

The lighting device 420 comprises a set of measuring machines 421 and a set of control machines 422. The automatic control device 430 includes a measurement machine group 431 and a control machine group 432. The automatic control device 440 includes a measurement machine set 441 and a control machine set 442.

The main controller 200 or the local controllers 310 and 320 can be connected to a maintenance computer (hereinafter, also referred to as "MNT") 500 used by a maintenance person.

The MNT 500 can display input/output signal information. The input/output signal information can be obtained by the MNT 500 via the local controllers 310, 320 or the main controller 200.

The parameters of the air conditioner 410, the lighting device 420, and the automatic control devices 430 and 440 can be changed using the MNT 500. The parameter is data for changing the control operation in the respective motion control devices. For example, parameters P, I, D when the indoor temperature control is performed by PID control.

Such parameters can be changed only by the MNT 500 used by the maintenance personnel, and cannot be changed by the central monitoring apparatus 100 used by the clients (owners, building managers). In addition, there are input/output signals that can be monitored in the MNT 500 but cannot be monitored in the central monitoring apparatus 100. Since such a difference exists, the contents of the descriptions are different between the operation specifications (for clients) and the operation specifications (for maintenance).

[ Input Screen ]

When the instruction manual generation tool is started, various kinds of information including device configuration information, control operation information, and machine information can be input in the air-conditioning information input screen. Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to fig. 3 to 5.

Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of an input screen of basic information and device configuration information. As shown in fig. 3, a site name "XX building new project" indicating that the building to be treated is "XX building" and a control name "air-conditioning control 1" indicating the kind of air-conditioning control are input. In the display example of fig. 3, basic information and device configuration information can also be input.

When the input screen is scrolled downward, a screen on which control operation information (see fig. 4) and device information (see fig. 5) are input is displayed. When the "instruction manual generation" button is pressed after inputting these pieces of information, an operation instruction manual (for a customer) and an operation instruction manual (for maintenance) are generated.

In this case, any one of "for customer", "for maintenance", and "for customer+for maintenance" can be checked. When the "instruction manual generation" button is pressed in a state where "for customer" is checked, an operation instruction manual (for customer) is generated. When the "instruction manual generation" button is pressed in a state where "maintenance" is checked, an operation instruction manual (for maintenance) is generated. When the "instruction manual generation" button is pressed in a state where "for customer+for maintenance" is checked, an operation instruction manual (for customer) and an operation instruction manual (for maintenance) are generated.

The "basic information" is set with input items of "air conditioner type", "air conditioner coil type", and "control method".

When a circle is selected in the input item "EA fan", the sub items "INV" and "AHU assembly" can be further set. In the case where the total heat exchanger is provided, a circle is selected in the input item "total heat exchanger".

Here, in this tool, the background color of the selectable item is a bright color (for example, white), and the background color of the non-selectable item is displayed in a darker color (for example, gray). Thus, it is clear whether the item can be selected.

For example, a circle is selected in the input item "SA fan". In this case, since the sub-item "INV" can be further set, the item is displayed in a color whose background color is bright. On the other hand, "-" is selected among the input items "RA fan". In this case, since the sub items "INV" and "AHU assembly" cannot be set, these items are displayed in a color having a dark background color.

As described above, the device configuration information is information related to the configuration of the air conditioner 410, and in fig. 3, the devices (SA fan, etc.) constituting the air conditioner 410 are set.

Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of an input screen of control operation information. The "control operation information" can be set with input items such as "temperature control", "automatic change of supply air temperature setting", "humidity control", and "external air cooling control".

In the case of performing temperature control by the air conditioner, a circle is selected in the input item "temperature control".

When a circle is selected in the input item "humidity control", the sub items "control operation", "control object" and "residual operation" can be further set. In the sub item "control action", any one of "humidification", "dehumidification" and "humidification+dehumidification" can be selected. In the sub item "control object", any one of "indoor", "return air", and "supply air" can be selected. In the sub-item "residual operation", a circle can be selected.

When the air conditioner performs the outdoor air cooling control, a circle is selected in the input item "outdoor air cooling control". When a circle is selected in the input item "outside air cooling control", the sub item "indoor environment measurement site" can be further set. In the sub-item "indoor environment measurement site", either one of "indoor" and "return air" can be selected.

As described above, the control operation information is information related to the control operation of the air conditioner 410, and in fig. 4, the control operation (temperature control, etc.) of the air conditioner 410 is set.

In the "air supply system measurement", input items of "temperature", "humidity", "humiture", "dew point", "temperature dew point" and "static pressure" can be set. In each input item, a circle can be set. For example, when the "temperature" is set, the temperature of the supplied air is detected by a temperature detector provided in the supplied air duct.

In the "return air system measurement", the input items of "temperature", "humidity", "temperature and humidity", and "CO2" can be set. In each input item, a circle can be set. For example, when the "humidity" is set, the humidity of the return air is detected by a humidity detector provided in the return air duct.

In the "indoor system measurement", input items of "temperature", "humidity", "temperature and humidity", and "CO2" can be set. In each input item, a circle can be set. For example, when "CO2" is set, the CO2 concentration in the room is detected by a CO2 transmitter provided in the room.

In the input item of "control device", an item such as "valve" can be further set. In the "valve", the input items of "cold water", "hot water/heating", "cold and hot water" and "humidification" can be set.

In the input item "cold water", a "proportional two-way valve" can be set. In this case, the ratio control of the two-way valve is performed in the cold water supply path. In the input item "hot water/heating", either one of "proportional two-way valve" and "proportional steam two-way valve" can be set. In the input item "hot and cold water", a "proportional two-way valve" can be set. In the input item "humidification", a "two-position humidification valve" can be set. In this case, the two-position control of the humidification valve is performed.

As shown in fig. 3 to 5, in this example, the following settings are assumed. It is assumed that, in the input item of the "basic information", the "air conditioner" is selected in the input item "air conditioner type", the "double pipe" is selected in the input item "air conditioner coil type", and the "DDC" is selected in the input item "control mode".

It is assumed that in the "device configuration information", a circle is selected in the input item "SA fan", and further, a circle is selected in the sub item "INV".

It is assumed that, in the "control operation information", a circle is selected in the input item "temperature control", and "room" is selected in the sub item "control object". Further, assuming that a circle is selected in the input item "humidity control", a "humidification" is selected in the sub-item "control operation", and a "return air" is selected in the sub-item "control object".

It is assumed that, in the "measuring machine" of the "machine information", a circle is selected between the input item "temperature and humidity" of the "return air system measurement" and the input item "temperature" of the "indoor system measurement".

In item "Hsitunai", the selection item "good", the machine symbol "HE1" and the machine name "indoor humidity detector" are defined. This corresponds to the item "humidity" measured by the indoor system in the measurement machine selection. In item "Hkanki", the options "good", machine symbol "HED1" and machine name "pipe-inserted humidity detector" are defined. This corresponds to the item "humidity" measured by the return air system in the measurement machine selection. In item "Hkyuuki", the options "good", machine symbol "HED1" and machine name "pipe-inserted humidity detector" are defined. This corresponds to the item "humidity" measured by the air supply system in the measurement machine selection.

In item "ReisuiV", the options "proportional two-way valve", machine symbol "MV4", and machine name "cold water two-way valve" are defined. This corresponds to the item "cold water" of the valve in the control machine selection.

In item "OnsuiV", the options "proportional two-way valve", machine symbol "MV4", and machine name "hot water two-way valve" are defined. In item "OnsuiV", the options "proportional steam two-way valve", machine symbol "MV8", and machine name "heating two-way valve" are defined. These correspond to the item "hot water/heat" of the valve in controlling the machine selection. When "hot water two-way valve" is selected in this item, "MV4" is set as the machine symbol, and "hot water two-way valve" is set as the machine name.

Fig. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of statement format data. The memory 12 stores explanatory sentence format data as templates corresponding to respective control actions. The present example exemplifies explanatory statement format data selected when "temperature control" is performed as a control operation.

In the present embodiment, the machine symbol, the machine name, and the like set in fig. 6 are applied to the explanatory sentence format data, thereby generating an explanatory sentence.

The explanatory sentence format data includes items of "category", "content", "condition" and "maintenance". The "content" is data (template) which is the basis of the description sentence, and the "classification" classifies the description sentence. The classified "title", "subtitle" means a title or subtitle of an explanatory sentence. The "condition" of classification indicates that, in the case where the content of the item "condition" is satisfied, an explanatory sentence is generated. The classified "control statement" means that the description statement is generated unconditionally.

The "map" of the classification indicates that the explanatory diagram data is read from the explanatory diagram correspondence table. The condition "12" indicates that the paste size of the explanatory diagram data is combined into 12 rows. In the case where the item of "maintenance" is a circle, the expression is a description sentence included only in "operation instruction manual (for customer)". When the item of "maintenance" is not circled, the item indicates a description sentence included in both the "operation instruction (for the client)" and the "operation instruction (for maintenance)".

In the "content", the parts surrounded by "%" and "%" are parts replaced by "machine symbol" and "machine name" or the like. In this example, "% set site%", "% set site 2%", "% detector symbol%", and "% operator%" are sites to be replaced.

In this example, in the measurement device selection of fig. 5, a circle is selected among items "temperatures" (Tsitunai) measured by the indoor system, and therefore, "TE1" is set as a device symbol, and "indoor temperature detector" is set as a device name.

In addition, in the control device selection, "proportional two-way valve" is selected among items "hot water" (ReionV) of the valve, and therefore, "MV4" is set as a device symbol, and "hot water two-way valve" is set as a device name.

Thus, in this example, "% installation site%" and "% installation site 2%" are replaced with "indoor", "% detector%" is replaced with "indoor temperature detector TE1", "% detector symbol"% is replaced with "TE1", "% operator%" is replaced with "hot and cold water two-way valve MV4".

Specifically, the "% installation site% temperature control" is replaced with "indoor temperature control" corresponding to the classification "title", and is set as an explanatory sentence. In this example, the "double pipe type" is selected as the input item "air conditioner coil type" in fig. 3, and the "proportional two-way valve" is selected as the input item "hot water" of the "valve" in fig. 5, but the condition 1 (in the case of the hot and cold water valve (double pipe type) is satisfied, but the condition2 (in the case of the four pipe type being exclusively used for cooling) is not satisfied.

In addition, a circle is selected in the input item "humidity control" in fig. 4, and "humidification" is selected in the sub item "control action", but "dehumidification" is not selected. Since the condition 3 (in the case of dehumidification (four-pipe type)) is not satisfied, the content of "condition 3" is not added to the description sentence. The classification "fig. 1" is described later using fig. 9 and 10. By the following classification "control sentence", an empty line is added to the explanatory sentence.

Next, when the content of the classification "control sentence" is broken at the% temperature at the% setting position (% between the detector symbol and PLC), the display of the central monitoring device is set to an invalid value (asterisk display), the control is stopped, and the control output to the% operator% is forcedly set to 0.

As described above, the description sentence of the control operation is generated using the description sentence format data and the machine information on the measuring machine and the control machine. For example, an explanation statement of the indoor temperature control is generated using explanation statement format data (fig. 7) for temperature control, machine information on an indoor temperature detector and a hot and cold water two-way valve, and the like.

Fig. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of the map correspondence table. Here, "graph name" indicates a file name for explaining graph data. For example, "temperature 1" indicates that the file name of the description map data is "temperature 1.Jpg". The "control system" indicates which of the air supply system measurement, the air return system measurement, and the indoor system measurement is selected from the measuring machine of fig. 5.

"Cold water", "hot water", "Cold and Hot Water" means which of the items "Cold water", "hot water/heating", "Cold and Hot Water" is selected in the valve selected by the control machine of FIG. 5. The "control mode" indicates which one of the items "control mode" in fig. 3 is selected.

When "electronic" or "DDC" is selected as the control method, any one of "temperature 1.Jpg" to "temperature 11.Jpg" is selected. In the case where the control system is "indoor" and the "cold water two-way valve" is selected among the items "cold water", the "temperature 1.Jpg" is selected.

In the case where the control system is "indoor", the "cold water two-way valve" is selected in the item "cold water", and the "hot water two-way valve" is selected in the item "hot water/heating", the "temperature 2.Jpg" is selected. In the case where the control system is "indoor", the "cold water two-way valve" is selected in the item "cold water", and the "heating two-way valve" is selected in the item "hot water/heating", the "temperature 3.Jpg" is selected.

When the control system is "indoor" and "cold and hot water two-way valve" is selected among "cold and hot water" in the project, "temperature 4.Jpg" is selected. The same applies to "temperature 5.Jpg" to "temperature 12.Jpg" hereinafter.

Fig. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of the map data. The memory 12 stores a plurality of explanatory diagram data (temperature 1.Jpg to temperature 12.Jpg, etc.). In the explanatory diagram correspondence table shown in fig. 8, when the file name of explanatory diagram data is determined, explanatory diagram data of the determined file name is acquired. As explanatory diagram data, fig. 9 shows an example of explanatory diagram data in a case where "temperature 3.Jpg" is determined and in a case where "temperature 4.Jpg" is determined.

The CPU 11 obtains any of the plurality of explanatory diagram data using the device information and the like related to the measurement device group 411 and the control device group 412, and generates an explanatory diagram of the operation instruction. For example, when the control system is "indoor" (the measuring device is "indoor temperature detector"), and the item "hot and cold water two-way valve" is selected (the control device is "hot and cold water two-way valve"), the "temperature 4.Jpg" is acquired, and an explanatory diagram is generated.

[ Action Specification ]

Fig. 10 is a diagram showing an example of an operation instruction (for a client). As described with reference to fig. 7, first, "indoor temperature control" corresponding to the category "title" is set together with the number "1" as an explanatory statement.

". Next, "…" corresponding to the classification "condition 3" is set.

Next, when the indoor temperature is disconnected (between TE1 and PLC), the control is stopped while the display of the central monitoring device is set to an invalid value (asterisk display), and the control output to the hot and cold water two-way valve MV4 is forcibly set to 0.".

In this example, the control system is "indoor", and "cold and hot water two-way valve" is selected as the item "cold and hot water", and therefore "temperature 4.Jpg" is selected as the explanatory diagram data. Therefore, the description sentence is added with data of "temperature 4. Jpg".

In this example, as shown in fig. 4, "humidity control" is selected as a control operation, and "return air" is further selected as a "control target". Accordingly, a description sentence related to "return air humidity control" is further added. The measurement device in this case is set as a "pipe-inserted temperature and humidity detector", and the control device is set as a "humidifying two-way valve".

The "return air humidity control (humidification only at the time of heating request)" corresponding to the classification "title" is set together with the number "2" as an explanatory sentence. The system is also provided with a temperature and humidity detector THED which is inserted into the air return pipe and detects the air return humidity according to the classification "condition 1", and the detected air return humidity is displayed on the central monitoring device through the programmable logic controller PLC, and the two-position control of the humidifying two-way valve BV1 is performed so that the set air return humidity is achieved. ", as an explanatory statement.

As described above, the operation instructions include a description of a control operation using the device (measurement device, control device). The control action is achieved by controlling the control machine in dependence of the measured value of the measuring machine.

For example, the indoor temperature control is realized by controlling a hot and cold water two-way valve according to the measured value of an indoor temperature detector. The operation instructions include an instruction for controlling the indoor temperature using the indoor temperature detector and the hot and cold water two-way valve. In addition, the control of the air return humidity is realized by controlling the humidifying two-way valve according to the measured value of the pipeline insertion type temperature and humidity detector.

Fig. 11 is a diagram showing an example of an operation specification (for maintenance). As described above, the description sentence of the operation instruction (for maintenance) is added with the description sentence dedicated to the operation instruction (for maintenance) to the description sentence of the operation instruction (for customer). As described with reference to fig. 7, a description sentence dedicated to the operation specification (for maintenance) is added below the description sentence of "indoor temperature control" in fig. 10.

Specifically, in the description sentence format data of fig. 7, a description sentence in which a circle is set is added to the item "maintenance". First, by classifying the "subtitle", the "maintenance supplement description" is added to the description sentence.

An "corresponding to the following" control sentence "is added, and the MNT also displays the indoor temperature. In addition, when the indoor temperature is off, the MNT displays an invalid value (asterisk). The indoor temperature can be set in MNT. The indoor temperature setting set in the MNT is reflected in the central monitoring device. The (support priority) ", parameters for proportional control (P, I, D, etc.) can be set in the MNT. ", as an explanatory statement. The same applies to the "return air humidity control (humidification only at the time of heating request)" described below, although the description is omitted.

Fig. 12 is a diagram showing an example of control point format data and control point statements. The control point statement is generated from control point format data (templates). The control point statement specifies the input/output signal. The generated control point sentence is added to the explanatory sentence.

The control point format data defines "signal type", "Active/IN Active simulation range", "unit", "operation/monitoring (central device)", and "operation/Monitoring (MNT)", respectively, with respect to "signal name".

In the "signal class", the "AI" means "analog signal input", and the "AO" means "analog signal output". The "Active/IN Active analog range" represents a measurement range or a set range of the input/output signal. The "unit" is a unit of input/output signal data. "operation/monitoring (central apparatus)" means whether or not a signal can be operated or monitored in the server apparatus (central monitoring apparatus) 100. "operation/Monitoring (MNT)" means whether or not a signal can be operated or monitored in the maintenance computer (MNT) 500.

Here, as in the description of fig. 7, the parts surrounded by "%" and "%" in the control point format data are replaced based on information such as "machine symbol" and "machine name". In this example, "% set site%", "% hot and cold water operator%", are sites to be replaced. In this example, "% installation site%"% is replaced with "indoor" "% hot and cold water operator%"% is replaced with "hot and cold water two-way valve MV4".

As a result, in the control point sentence, a circle is set in the signal category "AI", the analog range "-20.0 to 80.0", the unit "°c", and the central monitor, and a circle is set in the MNT, with respect to the signal name "AHU-indoor temperature measurement". Note that, in the control point sentence, a circle is set in the signal category "AO", the analog range "0.0 to 50.0", the unit "°c", and the central monitoring, and a circle is set in the MNT, with respect to the signal name "AHU" indoor temperature setting ".

The maintenance information includes input/output signal information and parameter information. The parameter information is information for changing parameters of the control operation in the MNT 500.

[ Flow sheet ]

The flow of the main processing performed by the CPU 11 will be described below with reference to the flowchart. The main process is started when a generation instruction of either one of an operation instruction (for a client) and an operation instruction (for maintenance) is generated. Fig. 13 is a flowchart of the main process performed by the CPU 11.

When the "instruction generation" button in fig. 3 is pressed, if "for customer" is checked, an instruction to generate an operation instruction (for customer) is generated. When "maintenance" is checked, an instruction to generate an operation instruction (for maintenance) is generated.

When "for customer+for maintenance" is checked, an instruction to generate an operation instruction (for customer) and an instruction to generate an operation instruction (for maintenance) are generated. In this case, the main processing is executed 2 times, and an operation instruction manual (for a customer) and an operation instruction manual (for maintenance) are generated from the acquired design drawing information. Hereinafter, the "step" is also simply referred to as "S".

When the main process starts, the CPU 11 acquires design drawing information including device configuration information, control operation information, and machine information in S11. Specifically, the field name and control name set in the screen of fig. 3, the basic information device configuration information, the control operation information set in the screen of fig. 4, and the machine information set in the screen of fig. 5 are acquired.

In S12, the CPU 11 obtains the machine symbol and the machine name from the machine information using the machine correspondence table. In the examples of fig. 5 and 6, the selection item "good" is selected from items "Tsitunai" (item "temperature" measured by the indoor system), and thus, the machine symbol "TE1" and the machine name "indoor temperature detector" are acquired. Further, the selection item "proportional two-way valve" is selected in item "ReionV" (item "hot and cold water" of the valve), and therefore, the machine symbol "MV4" and the machine name "hot and cold water two-way valve" are obtained.

In the example using fig. 4, a circle is selected in the input item "temperature control", and "room" is selected in the sub item "control object". Thus, the CPU 11 sets an indoor temperature detector corresponding to indoor temperature control (control operation) in the measurement device group 411 and a hot/cold water two-way valve corresponding to indoor temperature control (control device) in the control device group 412.

In S13, the CPU 11 sets i=0. In S14, the CPU 11 sets a value obtained by adding 1 to i as i. In S15, the CPU 11 extracts an i-th control item (also referred to as "control i") of the control operation information.

Specifically, in fig. 4, from the top, the temperature control is control 1, the automatic change of the supply air temperature setting is control 2, the humidity control is control 3, and the outside air cooling control is control 4. In the case where S15 is first executed, the CPU 11 extracts the 1 st control item (control 1) of the control operation information. In this case, the CPU 11 extracts "temperature control".

In S16, the CPU 11 determines whether or not there is a setting in the control i. If it is determined that the control i has a setting (yes in S16), the CPU 11 advances the process to S17. If it is not determined that the control i has the setting (no in S16), the CPU 11 advances the process to S18. In the example of fig. 4, the CPU 11 determines that there is a setting in control 1 (temperature control).

In S17, the CPU 11 executes an explanatory statement generation process (see fig. 14). When control 1 (temperature control) is set, an explanatory statement for the temperature control is generated.

In S18, the CPU 11 determines whether i=n (total control item count). When it is determined that i=n (yes in S18), the CPU 11 ends the main processing. When it is not determined that i=n (no in S18), the CPU 11 returns the process to S14.

Here, N (total control item count) is the item count of all control operations that can be set in fig. 4. When the processing for all the control operations is completed, the main processing is completed, and when the processing for all the control operations is not completed, the processing returns to S14 again. Thus, the following control items are processed.

In this example, since the control 2 is not set, a description sentence for automatically changing the supply air temperature setting is not generated. Since the control 3 is set, a description sentence of humidity control is generated. Since the control 4 is not set, a description sentence of the outside air cooling control is not generated.

Fig. 14 is a flowchart of the specification generation process executed by the CPU 11. When the explanatory statement generation process starts, the CPU 11 selects the explanatory statement format data and the explanatory figure correspondence table of the control i in S21. In this example, when i=1, the explanatory statement format data of control 1 (temperature control) is selected (see fig. 7) and the explanatory diagram correspondence table (fig. 8).

In S22, the CPU 11 determines whether or not there is an instruction to generate an operation instruction (for the client). When determining that the instruction for generating the operation instruction (for the client) is present (yes in S22), the CPU 11 advances the process to S23. If it is not determined that the instruction for generating the operation instruction (for the client) is included (if it is determined that the instruction for generating the operation instruction (for the maintenance) is included) (no in S22), the CPU 11 advances the process to S24.

In the example of fig. 3, since "for customer+for maintenance" is checked, it is determined that the instruction for generating the operation instruction (for customer) is given in the 1 st main process, and it is determined that the instruction for generating the operation instruction (for maintenance) is given in the 2 nd main process.

In S23, the CPU 11 excludes the data with circles for maintenance, inputs information such as a machine symbol and a machine name into the explanatory statement format data, generates an explanatory statement, and advances the process to S26. In this example, the description sentence for the client shown in fig. 10 is generated from the description sentence format data shown in fig. 7.

In S24, the CPU 11 inputs information such as a machine symbol and a machine name into the entire description sentence format data, and generates a description sentence. In this example, the description sentence for maintenance shown in fig. 11 is generated from the description sentence format data shown in fig. 7.

In S25, the CPU 11 inputs information such as a machine symbol and a machine name into the control point format data, generates a control point sentence, and advances the process to S26. In this example, the control point sentence shown in fig. 12 is generated from the control point format data shown in fig. 12.

In S26, the CPU 11 determines the explanatory diagram name from the information such as the explanatory diagram correspondence table, the machine symbol, and the machine name. In S27, the CPU 11 acquires explanatory diagram data corresponding to the explanatory diagram name. In this example, "temperature 4" is determined as an explanatory diagram name in fig. 8, and "temperature 4.Jpg" is acquired as explanatory diagram data in fig. 9.

In S28, the CPU 11 adds the generated description sentence, description chart, and control point sentence to the description format data, and ends the description sentence generation process. In this example, in the primary processing of the 1 st time, "operation instruction sheet (for client)" of the content shown in fig. 10 is generated. In the main processing of the 2 nd time, an "operation instruction (maintenance)" in which the control point sentence shown in fig. 12 is added to the content shown in fig. 11 is generated. In this way, the CPU 11 generates an operation instruction (for a customer) and an operation instruction (for maintenance)) based on the acquired design drawing information.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the air conditioner 410 is designed based on the device configuration information related to the configuration of the air conditioner 410, the control operation information related to the control operation of the air conditioner 410, and the device information of the device used for the control operation of the air conditioner 410. Further, since the operation instruction manual is automatically generated based on the design information, the instruction manual suitable for describing the control operation of the air conditioner 410 can be automatically generated.

In addition, even when the configuration of the air conditioner 410 becomes complicated or an operation instruction manual describing a plurality of control operations is generated, the operation instruction manual can be generated in a shorter time than when the operation instruction manual is generated manually, and the operation instruction manual can be generated with a homogeneous content. This enables an operation instruction book of the automatic control device (air conditioner 410) to be generated efficiently and with appropriate contents. For example, when 4 types of control operations are included, generation of the operation instruction manual takes about 2 days when the control operations are generated by manual operation. On the other hand, when automatically generated by the tool, it is expected that the operation instruction book is generated for about 0.5 days (about 1.5 days in the reduction).

Further, since 2 kinds of specifications for presentation to the user (customer) and for presentation to the maintenance can be generated based on 1 piece of information, an operation specification of the automatic control device can be efficiently generated. Further, since the specification including the input/output signal information and the parameter information for changing the control operation, which is necessary for performing the maintenance of the automatic control device, is generated, the operation specification of the automatic control device can be generated with appropriate contents regarding the maintenance of the automatic control device.

[ Main Structure and Effect ]

The main configuration and effects of the above embodiment will be described below.

(1) The instruction manual generation device 10 generates an instruction manual for the operation of an automatic control device (air conditioner 410, etc.). The specification generating device 10 has a CPU 11 and a memory 12 storing a program executable by the CPU 11. The air conditioner 410 includes machines (a measurement machine group 411, a control machine group 412). The air conditioner 410 performs indoor temperature control (control operation) using the machine. The CPU 11 acquires design drawing information related to a drawing for designing the air conditioning apparatus 410. The design drawing information contains device configuration information, control action information, and machine information. The device configuration information is information related to the configuration of the air conditioning device 410. The control action information is information related to the control action. Machine information is information related to a machine. The CPU 11 generates an operation instruction (for a customer) and an operation instruction (for maintenance)) based on the acquired design drawing information. The operation instructions include instructions for controlling the indoor temperature using the device.

In this way, the automatic control device (air conditioner 410) is designed based on the device configuration information related to the configuration of the air conditioner 410, the control operation information related to the control operation of the air conditioner 410, and the machine information of the machine used for the control operation of the air conditioner 410, and the operation instruction manual is automatically generated based on these design information, so that the instruction manual suitable for describing the control operation of the air conditioner 410 can be automatically generated. In addition, even when the configuration of the air conditioner 410 becomes complicated or an operation instruction manual describing a plurality of control operations is generated, the operation instruction manual can be generated in a shorter time than when the operation instruction manual is generated manually, and the operation instruction manual can be generated with a homogeneous content. This enables an operation instruction book of the automatic control device to be efficiently and appropriately generated.

(2) The machine (measuring machine group 411, control machine group 412) includes a plurality of measuring machines (measuring machine group 411) and a plurality of control machines (control machine group 412).

The indoor temperature control is realized by controlling the cold and hot water two-way valve according to the measured value of the indoor temperature detector. The operation instructions include an explanation of indoor temperature control (control operation) using an indoor temperature detector (measuring device) and a hot and cold water two-way valve (control device). In this way, the operation instruction includes an instruction of the control operation using the measuring device corresponding to the control operation and the control device corresponding to the control operation, and therefore, the operation instruction of the automatic control device that describes the control operation can be appropriately generated.

(3) The operation instruction book includes an operation instruction book (for a customer) and an operation instruction book (for maintenance). The operation instruction (for the customer) is an instruction presented to the user who uses the air conditioner 410. The operation instruction (for maintenance) is an instruction to give a maintenance person who maintains the air conditioner 410. The operation instruction (maintenance) includes maintenance information of the air conditioner 410. The CPU 11 generates an operation instruction (for a customer) and an operation instruction (for maintenance) from the acquired design drawing information. In this way, 2 kinds of specifications for presentation to the user (customer) and for presentation to the maintenance can be generated from 1 piece of information, and therefore, an operation specification of the automatic control device can be efficiently generated.

(4) The air conditioning apparatus 410 is configured to be able to communicate with the local controller 310. The air conditioner 410 is configured to be able to communicate with a maintenance computer 500 used by a maintenance person via the local controller 310. The maintenance information includes input/output signal information and parameter information. The input/output signal information is signal information associated with a control operation, which can be displayed on the maintenance computer 500. The parameter information is information for changing the control operation in the maintenance computer 500. In this way, since the specification including the input/output signal information and the parameter information for changing the control operation, which is necessary for performing the maintenance of the automatic control device, is generated, the operation specification of the automatic control device can be generated with appropriate contents regarding the maintenance.

(5) The memory 12 stores explanatory sentence format data as templates corresponding to control actions. The CPU 11 generates an instruction sentence for indoor temperature control based on the instruction sentence format data and the machine information on the indoor temperature detector and the hot and cold water two-way valve, and thus can generate an operation instruction book with homogeneous contents.

(6) The memory 12 also stores a plurality of explanatory diagram data (temperature 1.Jpg to temperature 12.Jpg, etc.). The CPU 11 obtains any of the plurality of explanatory diagram data (temperature 4.Jpg, etc.) from the device information on the measurement device group 411 and the control device group 412, and generates an explanatory diagram of the operation instruction book. Thus, the operation instruction sheet of the automatic generation control device that describes the control operation can be generated by including the appropriate instruction sheet.

(7) The specification generation method is a method of generating an operation specification of the air conditioner 410. The air conditioning apparatus 410 includes machines (a measurement machine group 411 and a control machine group 412). The instruction manual generation method includes a step of executing indoor temperature control (control operation) using the machine. The CPU 11 acquires design drawing information related to a drawing for designing the air conditioning apparatus 410. The design drawing information contains device configuration information, control action information, and machine information. The device configuration information is information related to the configuration of the air conditioning device 410. The control action information is information related to the control action. Machine information is information related to a machine. The description creation method further includes a step of creating an operation description (for a customer) and an operation description (for maintenance)) from the acquired design drawing information. The operation instructions include instructions for controlling the indoor temperature using the device. This enables an operation instruction book of the automatic control device to be efficiently and appropriately generated.
