[0003]

In the above prior art, the relay of the auxiliary equipment interlock relay board and the switch of the switchboard switchgear are connected independently via cables to start and stop commands for the pump fan and Since signals such as the valve opening command and valve closing command of the motor-operated valve are transmitted through the cable, it is necessary to lay the cables as many as the start commands of the process relay to be operated,
There is a problem that the device becomes large.

Further, when the scale of the apparatus is increased, there is a problem that the installation cost of each apparatus increases and the installation work and the test process are prolonged.

That is, since the control devices are centrally installed in the central control room, it is necessary to lay process cables over a long distance from the process equipment to the central control room, which leads to an increase in plant scale and control. As the system becomes more sophisticated, the number of I / O points will increase and the installation cost will increase.

Further, as the control device becomes larger due to the sophistication of control contents, the control equipment room also becomes larger and the installation cost rises.

Further, since the command associated with the start / stop operation of the process equipment by the operator is output via the auxiliary equipment sequence control device, all the devices and the switchboard are installed,
Only after completing the process cable connection work can the process equipment be tested.

An object of the present invention is to provide a switchboard switchgear and an operation monitoring control system which can simplify the structure.

0, analog input circuit 42, digital input / output circuit 44,
A high-voltage circuit 46, a bus 48, and a memory 50 are provided, and the analog input circuit 42 has a process cable 52.
To the sensor 54, and the high-power transmission circuit 46 is connected to the motors 58, 60, 62 via the process cable 56. The communication module 38 includes a transmission / reception unit, etc., transmits / receives a command associated with operation / monitoring to / from the communication module 26 via the serial transmission cable 32 based on a command from the CPU 36, and commands to / from the communication module 38 of another switch gear 34. And exchange of information. Then, the command input to the communication module 38 or the information based on the processing of the CPU 36 is temporarily stored in the RAM 4
It is designed to be stored in 0. Analog input circuit 4
2 is configured as a state input means for inputting a signal relating to the state of the operation target from the sensor 54, and after the input signal is converted into a digital signal, the CP is transmitted via the bus 48.
It is designed to be transmitted to U36. The memory 50 stores information related to protection and interlock for operation targets such as the motors 58, 60 and 62, for example, information related to set values. The CPU 36 is a RAM 40,
Information stored in memory 50 and analog input circuit 4
2 is configured as a monitoring information generation unit that generates monitoring information regarding protection of an operation target and interlock based on the information input from 2. Further, the CPU 36 generates a control command based on the generated monitoring information, and outputs the generated control command to the high voltage circuit 46 via the digital input / output circuit 44. The digital input / output circuit 44 constitutes a state input means for inputting a state signal regarding the object to be protected and also a control instruction output means for outputting a control instruction to the high-voltage circuit 46. The high-voltage circuit 46 is arranged on a switchboard and is configured to include switching elements connected to the motors 58 to 62, and each switching element is connected to a power source. Then, when the switching element is turned on in response to the control command from the digital input / output circuit 44, power is supplied to the motors 58 to 62. That is, the high-voltage circuit 46 includes the motor-operated valves 64, 6
6. It is configured as a control means for controlling the driving of the motors 58 to 62 connected to the pump 68.

Next, the operation of the communication module 38 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the control device 20 issues a start / stop command regarding an operation target (operating end) to the serial transmission cable 3.
When it is transmitted via 2, the command is received (step S1). After that, the received command is stored in the RAM 40 (step S2), and the content of the RAM 40 is output to the CPU 36 via the bus 48 (step S3).

As described above, in this embodiment, the CPU
When 22 outputs a command associated with operation / monitoring as a command generation unit that generates a command associated with operation / monitoring, this command is transmitted to each switchgear 34 via the communication module 26 and the serial transmission cable 32. Since it is not necessary to connect the control device 20 and each switchgear 34 with an independent cable, the device can be simplified.

Further, the commands transmitted and received between the communication module 26 and the communication module 38 are mainly those other than the information regarding the interlock, and the information requiring the urgency such as the information regarding the protection of the operation target and the interlock. Since it is generated by the CPU 36, the communication speed at the time of exchanging commands between the communication module 26 and the communication module 38 is relatively low, and even if it is about 100 mS, no problem will occur.

Further, each control device 20 is provided with a signal generator as a state determination signal generating means for generating a state determination signal indicating whether or not an abnormality has occurred in the state of each control device 20, and this signal generator is serially connected. It is also possible to employ a configuration in which the communication module 38 is connected via a transmission system different from the transmission cable 32.

Next, the operation of the switchgear 34 centering on the CPU 36 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the CPU 36 inputs the contents of the RAM 40 and also the information from the analog input circuit 42 and the information from the digital input / output circuit 44 (step S
11) Then, information on protection / monitoring is generated based on the input information (step S12). After that, the generated information is compared with the setting value for protection / interlock stored in advance in the memory 50 (step S13) to determine whether the protection / interlock operation is necessary. When the protection / interlock operation is required, the RAM 40 displays information about the protection / interlock and information about the alarm.
(Step S14), and outputs a control command based on this information to the high voltage circuit 46 via the digital input / output circuit 44 (step S15). As a result, the designated switching element of the high-voltage circuit 46 is turned on, and the protection / interlock operation for the operation target is executed (step S16).

On the other hand, when the protection / interlock operation is not necessary, the RAM 40 and the digital input / output circuit 44 relating to the protection / interlock are reset (steps S17 and S18), and the process of this routine is completed.

Since the operation related to protection / interlock requires urgency, the communication speed is, for example, 1
It is executed in about mS. Therefore, when the sensor 54 detects an abnormality in the operation target, the operation target can be immediately protected.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the control of protection / interlock of each operation target is collectively performed by the switchgear 34, so that the apparatus can be simplified. That is, it is possible to collectively control a plurality of operation targets by the switch gear 34 without laying the number of cables corresponding to the commands related to the operation of the pump 68, the electric valve 64, and the like.

Further, even when an operation target (operation end) is added, the switchgear 34 is operated according to the added operation target.
Is added, and the added switch gear 34 and the other switch gear 34 may be connected via the serial transmission cable 32, so that the system can be easily constructed.
