The item name 9a of each specific information and the selectable specification 9b corresponding to each item are displayed in the lower row.

For example, a branch breaker B ₁ for a standard product
.. Will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, the cursor of the mouse 61 is superimposed on the image of the branch breaker Bn (n = 1 to 10) to be changed displayed on the in-panel image output means 8 and the button of the mouse 61 is clicked (hereinafter, such an operation is performed). When simply "clicking with the mouse 61" is abbreviated), the branching breaker Bn is designated as a change target by the information changing means 10 included in the in-panel image output means 8, and the information included in the in-panel image output means 8 is also indicated. The change processing means 11 obtains information on a changeable specification corresponding to the branch breaker Bn specified by the information change means 10 from the standard product information master 5 via the standard product information reading means 7. Then, the acquired changeable information is provided from the information change processing means 11 to the change specification display / input means 12,
As shown in FIG. 2B, the types of branch breakers that can be selected by the change specification display / input means 12 and their connection attributes are displayed on the screen by a pull-down menu. However, data may be input by another method such as a text box instead of the pull-down menu.

Then, when one of the selection candidates is selected from the pull-down menu of the type or connection attribute of the branch breaker Bn and the confirmation button (see FIG. 2B) is clicked, the change specification display / input means 12 is input. The data is acquired and passed to the information change processing means 11. For example, if the type of the branch breaker Bn has been changed from the standard product, the information change processing unit 11 gives the image content data different from the standard product and the data of the selected product type to the screen content changing unit 13. Can be Further, regardless of whether or not the type is changed, if the connection attribute of the branch breaker Bn is changed from the standard product, the information change processing means 11 sends data of image color different from the standard product to the screen content changing means 13. , And the data of the changed connection attribute (in this case, “primary forwarding” or “single”). If the connection attribute is changed from "secondary feed" of the standard product to "primary feed", the part-to-part wiring path change processing means 14 provided in the screen content change means 13 is connected to the main breaker BE and the branch breaker Bn. Is changed to the wiring route SM ′ corresponding to the “primary feed”, and the data of the wiring route SM ′ is given to the screen content changing means 13.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the designer can intuitively operate by displaying the actual arrangement and wiring of circuit breakers and the like inside the distribution board on the screen. If you input the part number of the standard product to be diverted from the standard product, the design specification data of the standard product (data obtained from the standard product information) will be displayed in an organized format on the screen. Design specification data can be input easily, and for each input item of the design specification data, only selectable items are displayed according to the design specification. This can prevent such problems and reduce the number of design steps.

By the way, in the box, the main breaker BE
And a cover that covers the front surface of the branch breaker Bn, a sticker describing the branch circuit name corresponding to each branch breaker Bn (hereinafter referred to as a “branch circuit name seal”) can be attached to the cover. The circuit name seal is also included in the accessory member. Therefore, in addition to the standard product information, information on the branch circuit name seal is stored in the standard product information master 5, and a branch circuit name specification creation instructing unit 15 for instructing whether to create a branch circuit name seal, The specific information input / output unit 9 is provided with a branch circuit name input unit 16 for inputting a branch circuit name to be written on a name label (see FIG. 1).

As shown in FIG. 6, the branch circuit name specification creation instructing section 15 includes a branch circuit name label item (indicated as "printed branch circuit name" in the drawing) 15a and a pull-down menu (like the other specific information). Selectable items with / without printing) 15b are displayed on the screen. The specific information input / output means 9 is located on the right of the pull-down menu 15b on the screen.
A branch circuit name input button 16a is displayed, and when the branch circuit name input button 16a is clicked, the branch circuit name input section 16 displays a branch circuit name input screen as shown in FIG. Branch circuit name input screen "). Note that the pull-down menu 15b and the branch circuit name input button 16a can be combined into one button.

Next, the procedure for creating a branch circuit name seal will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.
When the user clicks on the branch circuit name input button 16a while selecting "Yes" from the pull-down menu 15b of the branch circuit name specification creation instruction section 15, the branch circuit name input section 16 is set based on the standard product information. A screen for inputting a branch circuit name is displayed according to the number and arrangement of the branch circuits according to the design specifications in use. In this case, the branch circuit name input unit 16, and displays the frame 16b ₁ ~16b ₁₀ of substantially equal dimensions to the actual branch circuit name seal as shown in FIG. 7, the actual printable characters, text alignment and .. Can be input in each frame 16b ₁ . That is, when the mouse 61 is clicked in the frame 16b ₁ to be input, the frame 16b ₁ is selected, and characters typed with the keyboard 60 are sequentially displayed in the selected frame 16b ₁ . Confirm the input character string with the return key or the like. When the input of the branch circuit name into the frames 16b ₁ ... Is completed, the input data of the branch circuit name is given from the branch circuit name input unit 16 to the drawing processing means 17 of the drawing means 3, and further the drawing processing is performed. A drawing process for printing the data on a branch circuit name sticker is performed in a branch circuit name drawing unit 18 provided in the means 17, and printing is executed by the drawing printing means 4 based on the drawn data. The data of the branch circuit name is stored in the standard product information master 5 as specific information.

As described above, the branch circuit name sticker conventionally created separately can be created simultaneously with the creation of the design specification. Further, since the input screen of the branch circuit name has the same dimensions as the actual branch circuit name sticker, The operation can be intuitively performed by the designer, and problems such as characters not entering the seal can be prevented beforehand.

By the way, as described above, the changed specification codes B1... Corresponding to the following changes are determined in advance for the specification change of the standard product.

(Example of changed specification code) B1: Change in number of branch circuits B2: Change in type of branch breaker B3: Removal of branch breaker B7: Change branch circuit name display to "Yes" B8: Branch Change the connection attribute of the breaker to “Single” B9: Change the connection attribute of the branch breaker to “Primary feed” …… BA: Change to pasting of the maximum contracted amount seal B: Add handle lock Is attached to the handles of the main breaker BE and the branch breaker Bn to prevent erroneous operation.

On the other hand, the specifications (equipment specifications) of the main breaker EB and the branch breaker Bn input by the input means described above.
Defines an identification name for each design specification, for example, “MAIN” for the main breaker BE and “BRAN” for the branch breaker Bn.
CH ”, and the specification data is connected by separating each specification name with a comma (“, ”). For example, in the case of the main breaker EB, the presence or absence of a change (0: none, 1: Yes, device type (breaker part number)
And in the case of a branch breaker Bn, "BRA
NCH ”, branch circuit number, presence or absence of change (0: none, 1: presence), device type (breaker part number, but“ S
P "indicates a detached state), and connection attributes (0: secondary transmission, 1: primary transmission, 2: single) are connected in this order, and the data processing means 2 is provided as the following design specification data. The design data is stored in the external storage device 63 by the design data storage unit 20.

(Example of design specification data) HINBAN = BQFC3618W MAIN = 0, BJ360325K1 BRANCH = 1,0, BS1112,0 BRANCH = 2,0, BS1112,0 BRANCH = 9,1, BS2022,0 BRANCH = 10, 1, SP, 1 ... PRINT = 1 ... Here, "HINBAN" is the part number of the standard product to be diverted, and "PRINT" is the presence or absence of printing of the branch circuit name seal (0: no printing, 1 : Printed). It should be noted that the structure of the design specification data is not limited to the one described above, but may be another data structure.

Next, based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 9, the changed specification code setting means 19 and the design data storage means 2
The operation of 0 will be described. The design data storage means 20 acquires design information from each input means such as the changed specification display / input means 12 and the specific information input / output means 9, and based on the standard product information corresponding to the product number and the design information, obtains the design specifications. Assemble the data.

On the other hand, the change specification code setting means 19 checks whether or not each of the data items of the assembled design specification data has changed with respect to the standard product information. If there is a change, the change specification code corresponding to the change is changed. Set. For example, in the example of the design specification data, changing varieties for branch breakers _{B 9, B 10 (B2)} , removal of the branch breakers B ₁₀ (B3), "Yes" from the "No" in the printed circuit branches Name seal changes to the "primary feed" connection attributes change (B7) and branch breakers B ₁₀ to (B
9), and the changed specification code setting means 19 adds these changed specification codes B2, B3, B7, B9 to the design specification data. Then, the design data storage means 20
Stores the design specification data to which the changed specification code is added in the external storage device 63.

If the design specification data is stored in the external storage device 63 in this manner, the design specification data can be used for analyzing the trend of the order of products corresponding to each design specification.

The drawing processing means 17 uses the standard product information and the design specification data to store the graphic data of circuit breakers and support members registered in the parts / member library 64 and the wiring paths registered in the master 65. The drawing is created from the graphic data such as the drawing data. In some cases, the created drawing is printed immediately by the drawing printing means 4 or in another case where the drawing is temporarily stored in the external storage device 63 or the like and printed later. is there. In this case, the drawing data stored in the external storage device 63 or the like can be edited and printed using a general-purpose CAD device instead of the automatic design / drawing device according to the present invention. The contents designed by the automatic design / plotting device and edited later by the CAD device,
There is a possibility that the design specifications may differ from the printed drawings. If such a difference occurs, inconsistencies arise in lower-level processes, manufacturing, subject information management, and the like based on the design specification data, and become a serious problem.

Therefore, in order to avoid the above-mentioned problem, the drawing processing means 7 converts the device number, connection attribute, branch circuit number and the like of the device in the same format as the design specification data.
A drawing checking unit 21 is provided in the drawing printing means 4 for setting the drawing data as an attribute value and detecting a difference between the contents of the design specification data and the contents of the drawing based on the attribute value.

Next, the operation of the check processing unit 21 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, the drawing processing means 1
7 is an external storage device 63 via the design data storage means 20
Is acquired and provided to the check processing unit 21 together with the drawing data created in advance.
The check processing unit 21 grasps design specifications (e.g., part numbers of devices, connection attributes, branch circuit numbers, etc.) from the attribute values included in the received drawing data, and compares the design specification data stored in the external storage device 63 with the design specification data. Compare. If there is no difference between them, a print output process is executed, and if there is a difference, a process of notifying the difference is performed. Here, as a method of notifying the difference, for example, the difference is displayed on the screen, the comparison result is written to the external storage device 63 as a log file, or the different element is displayed on the drawing displayed on the screen ( For example, marking an image of an apparatus or a member) may be considered. Thus, the check processing unit 21
Thus, the difference between the design specification data and the drawing data stored in the external storage device 63 can be verified in advance before printing, and a drawing different from the design specification can be prevented from being erroneously created.

By the way, the drawing means 3 includes a rearrangement / serving list information preparing means 22 and a rearranging / serving list preparing means 23.
Are provided. For example, it is said that if a device that is combined with a standard product distribution panel is changed to another device by inputting change specification data, reassignment occurs. The target device will be removed and replaced with a modified device to respond. Alternatively, when the connection attribute of the branch device such as the branch breaker Bn is changed from the secondary feed to the primary feed, it is necessary to remove the original electric wire and newly wire the wire, and in this case, the rearrangement has occurred. Okay, we need new wires. In addition, information on equipment newly required due to the occurrence of such rearrangement or information on members (electric wires and the like) required due to input of a change specification becomes necessary as serving information at the production stage of the distribution board. . Therefore, the rearrangement / serving information creation unit 22 creates the rearrangement information and the serving information, and the rearrangement / serving list creation unit 23
Thus, the rearrangement information and the serving information are created as a list LI as shown in FIG.

Next, the procedure for creating the list LI will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, the rearrangement / serving information creation means 22 is operated by the design data storage means 20.
The standard specification information stored in the standard product information master 5 is obtained through the standard product information reading means 7 while obtaining the design specification data stored in the external storage device 63 through the standard product data. And the design specification data to create rearrangement information and serving information. recombination·
The rearrangement information and the serving information created by the serving information creating means 22 are provided to the sorting / serving list creating means 23, and the sorting / serving list creating means 23 creates the lists LI ₁ and LS ₂ as shown in FIG. It is displayed on the screen of the display device 62. One list LI ₁ shows the device configuration (part number and number) after the re-arrangement as the re-arrangement information, and the other list LI ₂ shows the “names” and “ At least "part number" and "quantity" are shown. Note that the lists LI ₁ and LS ₂ can be printed by the drawing printing means 4.

As described above, by automatically creating the lists LI ₁ and LS ₂ indicating the rearrangement and serving information, it is possible to reduce the number of steps required for creating such LS ₁ and LS ₂ .

The design data storage means 20 accumulates the number of saves in units of a combination of the change specification data and the design specification data when storing the change specification data and the design specification data in the external storage device 63, and stores the change specification data. And a storage count accumulating unit 24 for storing in the external storage device 63 together with the design specification data, and a predetermined product number for the design specification data when the cumulative value N stored in the external storage device 63 exceeds a predetermined value. The product includes a part number determination processing unit 25 that newly assigns a part number as a standard product according to the setting rule, and a standard product master registration processing unit 26 that registers the determined product number and design specification data in the standard product information master 5. .

Next, the operations of the number-of-times-of-storing accumulation processing unit 24, the product number determination processing unit 25, and the standard product master registration processing unit 26 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

As described above, the design data storage means 20 acquires the design information from each input means such as the changed specification display / input means 12 and the specific information input / output means 9 and stores the standard information corresponding to the product number and the design information. Based on the information, the above-mentioned design specification data is assembled, and the change specification codes B2, B3, B7, and B9 added by the change specification code setting means 19 are connected to the design specification data and changed as shown in Table 1. Data obtained by adding the cumulative value N to the combination of the specification code and the design specification data is stored in the external storage device 63.

[0050]

[Table 1]

At this time, when the combination of the changed specification code and the design specification data to be stored is an existing one, the storage count accumulating unit 24 increments the accumulated value N, and when the combination is not an existing one, the accumulated value N is incremented. Initial value for N (=
1) is set, and it is determined whether or not a new product number can be set as a standard product based on the contents of the changed specifications. If the product number can be set, the storage count accumulation processing unit 24 determines whether or not the accumulated value N exceeds a predetermined value (for example, 100). If the accumulated value N exceeds a predetermined value (= 100), the part number determination processing unit 25 newly assigns a part number as a standard product according to the following part number setting rule.

For example, in the above example, based on the diversion source part number "BQFC3618W", Since the structure of the box is shown up to “BQFC36”, it is not changed even if the device is rearranged.

2. Since the next "18" indicates the number of branch circuits, this value is changed when the number of branch circuits increases or decreases. For example, when the number of branch circuits is reduced from 18 to 16 circuits, “18” is changed to “16”.

3. If the number of unused branch circuits is not zero, the number is added. For example, although the number of unused branch circuits is zero in the above divert source part number, but one unused branch circuit has been generated due to rearrangement,
“BQFC36181W”.

4. “K” is added to the end of the part number newly set as the standard product, and it is set to “BQFC36181WK”. As described above, a new product number “BQFC36181WK” is determined for the standard product diverted from the original standard product. Then, the new product number is registered in the standard product information master 5 by the standard product master registration processing unit 26 together with the design specification data.

By registering the frequently-used rearrangement pattern as a standard product as described above, it is not necessary to repeat the same operation, and the man-hour required for the design work and the man-hour required for the rearrangement work can be eliminated. There is an advantage in that the cost required for designing and manufacturing the device can be reduced.

By the way, information on standard products is usually described in a catalog. As shown in FIG. 14, data (catalog data) described in a catalog CT includes, for example, external dimensions of a distribution board of a product corresponding to a product number. And data of product specifications such as the number of circuit breakers, the number of circuit breakers, types of branch breakers, connection attributes, and the like, and standard prices and product figures and dimensions. These catalog data are systematically organized and stored in the external storage device 63.

As shown in FIG. 1, a catalog data generation processing unit 27 for generating catalog data as described above based on design specification data newly registered as a standard product by the standard product master registration processing unit The operation of the catalog data generation processing unit 27 provided in the storage unit 20 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

The catalog data generation processing section 27 collects the design specification data newly registered as a standard product from the external storage device 63 and generates the above-mentioned product specification data, the figure and the dimension drawing. Then, the generated product specification data, the figure and the dimension drawing are stored and registered in the external storage device 63 as catalog data by the design data storage unit 20. The actual catalog is obtained by collecting necessary information from the catalog data and printing and binding the catalog.

As described above, since the catalog data is automatically generated by the catalog data generation processing unit 27, the maintenance of the catalog data of the newly added standard product is not required. Problems such as the presence of standard products not described in the catalog before the catalog is issued can be prevented.

With the spread of the Internet and intranet in recent years, catalogs that have been provided by printing and binding in the past have been created as electronic catalogs in the form of electronic data, and product information has been published through networks such as the Internet and intranets. Distribution and disclosure to an unspecified large number of people inside and outside of the country are commonly performed.

Therefore, the catalog data generated by the catalog data generation processing unit 27 and stored in the external storage device 63 in the text format, the data format, or the database format as described above is distributed and published through the network. A suitable format such as HTML (Hyper Te
The format is converted into an xt Markup Language) format in the catalog data generation processing unit 27 and stored in the external storage device 66 for the electronic catalog via the design data storage unit 20.

On the other hand, when registering a new product number and distributing and publishing it as an electronic catalog, it is necessary to separately notify the relevant parties (for example, other designers, etc.) of the specification of the newly registered product. May occur. For this purpose, a notification processing unit 2 that notifies new registration contents to a specific terminal (a terminal assigned to the above-mentioned person concerned) in the network.
8 is provided in the catalog data generation processing unit 27.

Next, the operation of the catalog data generation processing unit 27 and the notification processing unit 28 will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 and 18 based on the flowchart of FIG.

At this time, the name and storage location of the file in HTML format of the existing electronic catalog data to be added are clarified based on the product number newly set as a standard product. Insert the new converted catalog data into the appropriate place in the file. For example, in the above example, since the catalog data of each product number is described in ascending order of the number of branch circuits, new catalog data is inserted at the corresponding number of branch circuits (see FIG. 18), and the existing electronic catalog data Is stored and registered via the design data storage means 20 in the external storage device 66 in which is stored. Then, the electronic catalog data is distributed and published through the Internet or an intranet as shown in FIG.
It can be displayed on the display device 67 of each terminal using a browser.

On the other hand, the notification processing unit 28 creates e-mail data from the new catalog data in order to notify the person concerned of the contents added to the electronic catalog and stores the data in the external storage device 66 or the like in advance. E-mail address of the person concerned (hereinafter referred to as "e-mail address")
) And sends out an e-mail created from the new catalog data to each e-mail address. Thus, each person concerned can receive the above-mentioned e-mail at his / her own terminal and know the contents added to the electronic catalog.
It is also possible to use, for example, facsimile as a notification means other than e-mail. In this case, the notification processing unit 28 creates facsimile data from new catalog data and stores the facsimile data in the external storage device 66 or the like in advance. Read the facsimile number of
The facsimile data created from the new catalog data may be sent to each facsimile number.

As described above, if the contents to be newly added to the electronic catalog are automatically notified to the concerned persons by the notification processing unit 28, there is an advantage that the number of man-hours for notification is not required and the notification is omitted. .
