Definitions

  • the invention relates to a monitoring device for telecontrol devices with at least one central station and with substations, the stations exchanging information over a common transmission path by means of pulse telegrams that follow one another in time, and the pulse telegrams contain an address part, an information part and a differentiation criterion, depending on whether the relevant one Pulse telegram comes from a central station or substation, is a central station telegram criterion or a substation telegram criterion and the query telegram and the associated response telegram each have the same address and the monitoring device that can be connected to the transmission link has an evaluation device for evaluating the address and the transmitted pulse telegrams on the transmission link Distinguishing criterion contains.
  • the pulse telegrams can be used in addition to the address part, information part and differentiation criterion, e.g. have a synchronous character, a security attachment and / or the like.
  • Such a monitoring device is already known from DE-A-2 516 681.
  • the known monitoring device is used to monitor substations of a telecontrol device in which a central station is connected to the substations via a transmission link and the
  • the query cycle In addition to collecting all messages from the telecontrol network, the query cycle also has the task of monitoring the stations and notifying them of their failure or return. In addition to the active central station, there are also passive central stations that only listen and evaluate. They can be switched on anywhere in the network and also indicate a station failure or a station return.
  • the telegrams transmitted in the telecontrol system contain criteria for whether the telegram was sent from a central station or another station. These criteria are processed in an evaluation device.
  • the central station has the address of the called substation in its telegram.
  • the called substation has its own address in its telegram. These addresses are also evaluated in the evaluation device.
  • the evaluation device each has an output for the central station telegram criterion, the substation telegram criterion and the address of the relevant central station or substation.
  • a monitoring arrangement processes the criteria or addresses given by the evaluation device and thereby wins failure criteria regarding the failure of a substation.
  • One criterion that indicates that a substation has failed is that the central station transmits twice without receiving a substation in between.
  • the contents from the corresponding counters or memories of the telecontrol center can be displayed. If the control center is disturbed, the meaningfulness of these displays is very low or the displays themselves are even disturbed. Such a display is therefore not suitable for monitoring the telecontrol center itself.
  • the object of the invention is to design a monitoring device of the type specified above in such a way that the function of at least one central station is monitored with particularly great reliability.
  • One finding within the scope of the invention is that this is expediently carried out in conjunction with an observation of the telecontrol telegrams transmitted on the transmission link.
  • the monitoring device is designed to solve this problem in such a way that the transmission device contains display means for displaying the address and the differentiation criterion and that the differentiation criteria determined by the evaluation device can be monitored by means of a monitoring arrangement in such a way that interruptions in the occurrence of central station telegram criteria that exceed a predetermined time period trigger an alarm signal.
  • the monitoring device can be connected to the transmission link via its own modem or a modem of the central station or a substation.
  • a certain bit of the telecontrol telegram can serve as the differentiation criterion, the logical '1' being the central station criterion and the logical '0' being the substation criterion.
  • the monitoring device is preferably located at the location of the telecontrol center or - if there are several telecontrol centers - at least at the location of one of the telecontrol centers. However, it can also be arranged as a test device at another point on the transmission link.
  • the measures mentioned have the advantage that the telecontrol device can be monitored particularly reliably whether there are central station telegrams at regular intervals on the transmission link formed, in particular, by a line common to all stations. If this is not the case, a failure alarm is issued.
  • the monitoring device is particularly advantageous for telecontrol devices with several central stations, in which an initially active central station is replaced in the event of a fault by a further central station, which changes from the passive to the active state as soon as it no longer receives central telegrams after a certain waiting time. If a monitoring device located at one of such central stations detects that no central station telegrams are being transmitted, it is namely certain that the central station in question has failed itself.
  • the monitoring device can be further perfected in that the monitoring device is spatially adjacent to a central station and that, in addition to the central station telegram criteria, the monitoring arrangement also in the central station Test pulse sequences formed can be monitored in such a way that interruptions in the occurrence of test pulses which exceed a predetermined time period trigger an alarm signal.
  • the monitoring devices of a central station are arranged spatially adjacent and a criterion obtained from the alarm signal is fed as a start signal to the start input of a device for sequence control held in the central station.
  • An automatic start which tries to restart a microcomputer system of the central can be switched on as soon as the central station no longer sends telecontrol telegrams or is flagged as disturbed.
  • such starting attempts consist in resetting a device for sequence control to a zero position, from which it starts automatically.
  • the differentiation criterion can be displayed by means of its own light-emitting diode, which is arranged adjacent to the device for address indication.
  • the monitoring device is expediently designed in such a way that the display means for displaying the telegram address and the differentiation criterion contain a numerical display element with additional characters, in particular a decimal point, and that a control signal derived from the differentiation criterion is fed to the input of the digit display element which is assigned to the additional character.
  • Central station telegrams and substation telegrams can be clearly distinguished from one another in the optical display using particularly simple means, even though the query telegram from the remote control center and the subsequent response telegram from a substation each have the same telegram address.
  • the additional optical character used to distinguish query and response telegram addresses advantageously does not require any special effort. E.g. additional characters such as +, - ,: or the like can be used.
  • the check as to whether central station telegrams are on the line at regular intervals is expediently carried out in that the monitoring arrangement for evaluating the differentiation criterion contains a counter, the clock input of which is connected to a clock generator of the monitoring device, the reset input of which can be acted upon with control signals derived from the central station telegram criteria, and its forwarding can be blocked when a predetermined counter reading is reached.
  • the monitoring of test pulse sequences formed in the central station is expediently achieved in that the monitoring arrangement contains at least one counter, the clock input of which is connected to a clock generator and the reset input of which is connected to the output of a test device contained in the central station, which test pulses at undisturbed operation at regular intervals delivers.
  • the monitoring device is designed such that the monitoring arrangement contains a counter, the clock input of which is connected to a clock generator and the reset input of which can be acted upon by the clock pulses of a clock generator contained in the central station.
  • the further counter advantageously makes it possible to reliably monitor the correspondence between the clock of the remote control center and the clock used in the monitoring. If the additional character of the numerical display element can be controlled by the control signal in such a way that it is activated when the substation telegram criterion is present, the result of the sequence of telecontrol telegrams running over the transmission path is particularly easy to recognize.
  • the clock frequency can be set to the bit repetition frequencies that can be selected in the telecontrol device with regard to its clock frequency.
  • the figure shows a monitoring device which is connected to a central station.
  • the central station 1 is connected to the transmission line 3 via the modem 10.
  • the transmission line 3 connects the central station 1 to the substations and possibly to further central stations, of which only the substation 2 is shown with its modem 20.
  • the telecontrol telegrams transmitted from the central station 1 to the modem 10 or from the modem 10 to the central station 1 are fed to the monitoring device 5 via the decoupling diodes 61, 62.
  • the monitoring device 5 evaluates the data stream.
  • the arrangement 51 contained therein which essentially consists of a shift register controllable by the clock generator 6, receives the pulse telegrams and, after a serial-parallel conversion, forwards them byte by byte to the device 52 for synchronous character evaluation. If the device 52 recognizes a synchronous character, it releases the control device 53.
  • the control device 53 which is connected to the clock generator 6, starts counting the clock pulses from the time of the release and, when a predetermined number of clock pulses is reached, outputs a strobe pulse as a logic '1' to the control circuit 42.
  • the drive circuit 42 which is connected to the arrangement 51 via a seven bit wide address bus, is caused by the strobe pulse to adopt the binary-coded address.
  • the control circuit 42 is used to control the device 41 for numerical display. It contains an address memory and one or more encoders, with the aid of which the control signals required for controlling the device 41 for numerical display are obtained from the binary-coded address information. In an intermediate stage, the address is preferably first converted into the BCD code and then subsequently into the control signals customary for controlling 7-segment display elements.
  • the device 41 for numerical display contains a display element which serves to display a decimal point. This display element is controlled separately via the D flip-flop 54.
  • This D flip-flop 54 is connected to the output of the control device 53 with its clock input and to a connection of the output of the arrangement 51 with its D input.
  • the telecontrol telegrams on which the exemplary embodiment is based are composed of several bytes each with 8 bits.
  • the telecontrol telegram begins with a synchronous byte.
  • Another byte serves as an address byte and consists of a so-called Z-bit, which serves as a differentiation criterion, and seven address bits.
  • the D flip-flop 54 is caused by the strobe pulse of the control device 53 to take over the Z bit and appears at the output of the D flip flop as a control signal for the additional character the device 41 a stored central station telegram criterion Z 'as a logical' 1 '.
  • the monitoring device 5, the clock generator 6 and the control circuit 42 can be constructed in particular with the aid of a small microcomputer system.
  • the monitoring arrangement 7 contains the counters 71, 72 and 73, which are each connected to the clock generator 6 with a clock input. The advance through the clock is blocked when the counter end position is reached in that the output of the counter is connected to an enable input E.
  • the outputs of the counters 71, 72 and 73 are also routed to the inputs of the triple OR element 74, the output of which is routed both to the display device 75 and via the automatic start device 9 to the reset input R of the central station 1.
  • the alarm signals of the counters 71, 72, 73 can be displayed individually or only in part, or can be fed to the automatic start.
  • the counters 71, 72 and 73 designed as binary counters are reset in different ways.
  • the counter 71 is connected with its reset input R to the output of the AND gate 55, which has one input together with the D input of the D flip-flop 54 at a connection of the output of the arrangement 51 and with the other input at the output of the Control device 53 is located.
  • the AND gate 55 queries the Z bit supplied by the arrangement 51 with the aid of the strobe signal emitted by the device 53.
  • the counter 71 is therefore reset with each central station telegram. If central station telegrams are missing during a predetermined period of time, the counter 71 reaches its end position and emits an alarm signal to the OR element 74.
  • the reset inputs of counters 72 and 73 are dynamic inputs that only respond to positive clock edges.
  • the reset input R of the counter 72 is connected to a clock output of the central station 1, which is also connected to a clock input of the modem 10.
  • the counter 72 therefore monitors the clock pulse sequence of the central station 1.
  • the reset input of the counter 73 is connected to a test pulse output S of the central station.
  • the device for sequence control of the central station 1 emits monitoring pulses to the test pulse output at regular intervals, even when another central station sends query telegrams to the transmission link and the central station under consideration must therefore remain passive.
  • control signal Z ' it controls an optical display for identifying the substation telegrams, which is formed by the decimal point of the device 41 for the numerical display. If the Z bit is missing during a certain period of time, the LED of the display device 75 is activated via the OR gate 74 to emit a central alarm. In addition, this alarm causes the automatic start 9 to restart a microprocessor which is used to control the sequence of the control center 1.
  • This automatic start 9 is formed by a clock pulse generator, which emits start pulses at regular time intervals when it is released by an alarm signal via its enable input E.
  • the device 41 for numerical display makes the addresses of the telegrams running via the telecontrol and thus the cycle sequence and the telegram exchange visible.
  • the telegram addresses of the telecontrol telegrams are displayed on the device 41 for numerical display.
  • the decimal point is used to display substation telegrams. The display remains until a new telegram arrives.
  • the monitoring device has its own clock supply which is independent of the sequence control of the central station 1 and, moreover, also detects malfunctions of the sequence control which are caused by a faulty clock.
  • the own clock supply also makes it possible to use the monitoring device as a service and / or test module in the entire telecontrol network to control the exchange of telegrams.
  • the clock generator 6, the device 5 for telegram evaluation and the device 41 with the control circuit 42 are used.
