[0017]
Next, the operation of the tracking function automatic generation system for process control according to the first embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
FIG. 4 shows the operation of the tracking information analysis processing section 16 exclusively, and the steps corresponding to the functions 28, 29, 31, and 32 are shown by dashed lines.
First, in FIG. 1, a user of the tracking function automatic generation system inputs tracking input information 19 determined in advance for each steel plant through the keyboard 14, and similarly, by pressing a button from the keyboard 14, Instructs automatic program generation.
[0018]
The tracking input information 19 is roughly divided into a basic tracking information definition unit 20 and a tracking operation information definition unit 23, as shown in FIG.
The tracking basic information definition section 20 describes an area name input section 21 which is an area name used in the tracking function, and an area information input section 22 for inputting definition information on each area.
In the tracking operation information definition unit 23, a processing name input unit 24 for defining a tracking processing name, a tracking operation input unit 25 for defining a tracking operation such as movement or disappearance of a tracking target object for each event, An operation target area input unit 26 for designating an operation target area is described.
[0019]
The tracking information analysis processing unit 16 executes the processing shown in FIG. 4 in response to a program automatic generation instruction from the user.
In FIG. 4, first, an input processing function 28 for fetching information input by a user from the secondary storage device 13 is executed (step S1).
Next, a tracking operation check is performed by the input data consistency check function 29 (step S2).
Subsequently, the operation defined by the tracking operation input unit 25 (see FIG. 2) in the tracking input information 19 is compared with the tracking function standard component 17 in the secondary storage device 13 and the operation defined as the standard component is performed. Is determined (step S3).
[0020]
Hereinafter, the processing differs depending on whether or not the component is defined as a standard component.
If it is determined in step S3 that the part is not defined as a standard part (that is, NO), it is determined that the program cannot be generated, and an alarm is output to the CRT 15 (step S4) to urge the user to make a correction. 4 ends.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S3 that the part is defined as a standard part (that is, YES), the target area defined by the operation target area input unit 26 is subsequently defined by the area name input unit 21. Then, it is determined whether or not it matches one of the items (the target area is defined) (step S5).
[0021]
If it is determined in step S5 that the two do not match and the target area is not defined (that is, NO), it is determined that the program cannot be generated, and the process proceeds to the alarm output step S4, as described above. Then, the process of FIG. 4 is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S5 that they match and the target area is defined (ie, YES), the tracking function standard component stored in the secondary storage device 13 by the tracking standard component combining function 31 Necessary processes are extracted from and combined with the tracking function standard component 17 (step S6).
Finally, the automatic generation of the tracking program source is executed by the program source automatic generation function 32 (step S7), the source code is generated, and the processing in FIG. 4 is completed. This source code is generated in the secondary storage device 13.
[0022]
As described above, the tracking basic information and the tracking operation information are input in the form of a table, and the tracking information analysis processing unit 16 in the main storage device 11 is provided with the function of automatically generating the tracking function program source. A reduction in the number of manufacturing steps can be achieved.
Further, by adopting a configuration in which a program created by a user calls a program as a function, the tracking application program can be simplified.
Further, the generated program source achieves a tracking operation by giving a processing name. In a program created by a user, tracking processing can be realized only by giving a processing name. Application programs can be simplified.
[0023]
Embodiment 2 FIG.
In the first embodiment, the tracking program source automatic generation function 32 in the tracking information analysis processing unit 16 automatically generates the tracking program source (step Although only S7) is executed, the system-specific processing function is called back based on the input information from the system-specific processing function callback definition unit 27 included in the tracking input information 19 in the tracking information display / input unit 18. By doing so, a program source capable of executing processes other than the tracking function standard component may be automatically generated as the tracking function program source.
[0024]
Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention in which a tracking program source is automatically generated with reference to the system-specific processing function callback definition unit 27 while referring to the flowchart of FIG. 5 together with FIGS. explain.
FIG. 5 shows the operation of the automatic tracking function generation system for process control according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and particularly shows the processing of the tracking information analysis processing unit 16.
In FIG. 5, the same processes as those described above (see FIG. 4) are denoted by the same reference numerals as those described above, or “A” is added after the reference numerals, and detailed description is omitted.
In this case, only the program source automatic generation function 32A in the tracking information analysis processing unit 16 is partially different.
[0025]
First, in the same manner as described above, the user performs an input process and a program automatic generation instruction. At this time, the tracking operation information definition unit 23 in the tracking input information 19 includes the tracking function standard component 17. A system-specific processing function callback definition unit 27 (see FIG. 2) that defines a non-system-specific processing is described.
In FIG. 5, a tracking information analysis processing unit 16 executes a process in response to a program automatic generation instruction from a user.
First, as described above, the information input by the user is fetched from the secondary storage device 13 (step S1), a tracking operation check is performed (step S2), and the operation defined by the tracking operation input unit 25 is used as a standard component. It is determined whether or not it is defined (step S3). If it is not defined as a standard part, an alarm is output to the CRT 15 (step S4).
[0026]
If the operation defined by the tracking operation input unit 25 is defined as a standard part, the target area defined by the operation target area input unit 26 matches the one defined by the area name input unit 21. It is determined whether or not to perform the process (step S5). If the two do not match, the process proceeds to step S4. If the two match, the tracking function standard component 17 is combined (step S6), and the program source automatic generation function is performed. It proceeds to the process of 32A.
[0027]
In the program source automatic generation function 32A, first, it is determined whether or not a function is defined in the system-specific processing function callback definition unit 27 (step S17). If it is determined that the function is not defined (that is, NO), the process immediately proceeds to step S7, and the tracking program source is automatically generated.
At this time, the generation program source is composed of only the tracking function standard component 17.
[0028]
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S17 that a certain function is defined in the system-specific processing function callback definition unit 27 (that is, YES), the system-specific processing function callback processing unit 27 determines whether the tracking processing combined in step S6 has the system specific function. A conversion processing function is added (step S18), and thereafter, the process proceeds to step S7, where a tracking program source is automatically generated, and the processing in FIG. 5 ends.
In any case, the program source generated in step S7 is generated in the secondary storage device 13.
[0029]
The program source generated as shown in FIG. 5 has a format in which a system-specific processing function is called back from the tracking function standard component 17, and the standard part and the system-specific part are clearly divided.
As described above, the system-specific processing function callback definition unit 27 in the tracking input information 19 defines a special-purpose processing function and provides a function having a structure for callback of the system-specific processing function in the automatically generated program. Thus, at the time of program modification, it is only necessary to pay attention to the system-specific function portion, and it is not necessary to manually modify the automatically generated program, so that the maintainability of the program can be improved.
In addition, since a system-specific processing function callback can be defined, the generated program has a standard part and a system-specific part that are clearly separated, thereby improving the maintainability of the program.
[0030]
Embodiment 3 FIG.
In the first and second embodiments, in addition to the input processing function 28 and the input data consistency check function 29, the tracking standard component combining function 31 and the program source automatic generation function 32 (32A) are provided. A tracking basic information definition file automatic generation function may be provided in addition to the function and the input data consistency check function.
Hereinafter, a third embodiment of the present invention in which input information is analyzed and a tracking basic information definition file is automatically generated will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 6 together with FIGS.
[0031]
FIG. 6 shows the operation of the tracking control automatic generation system for process control according to the third embodiment of the present invention, and particularly shows the processing of the tracking information analysis processing unit 16.
In FIG. 6, the same processes as those described above (see FIGS. 4 and 5) are denoted by the same reference numerals as those described above, or “B” is added after the reference numerals, and a detailed description thereof is omitted.
In this case, the tracking information analysis processing unit 16 (see FIG. 1) includes an input processing unit 28, an input data consistency check function 29B, and a tracking basic information definition file automatic generation function 30.
[0032]
First, the user inputs the tracking input information 19 through the keyboard 14 based on a predetermined tracking function specification, and similarly issues an instruction to automatically generate a tracking basic information definition file by pressing a button from the keyboard 14. I do.
At this time, in the tracking basic information definition unit 20 (see FIG. 2), similarly to the above, an area name input unit 21 which is an area name used for the tracking function, and an area information input unit 22 which inputs definition information on each area. Is described.
Further, the tracking information analysis processing unit 16 executes a process upon receiving a tracking basic information definition file generation instruction from the user.
[0033]
In FIG. 6, first, an input processing function 28 for fetching information input by a user from the secondary storage device 13 is executed (step S1).
Subsequently, particularly, the tracking definition information input to the area information input unit 22 (see FIG. 2) is checked (step S22), and it is determined whether the tracking definition information is normal (step S23).
If it is determined in step S23 that the input tracking definition information is not normal but is incorrect (that is, NO), it is determined that generation of the definition information file is not possible, and the process proceeds to step S4 to output an alarm to the CRT 15. .
On the other hand, if it is determined that the tracking definition information is normal (that is, YES), the tracking basic information definition file automatic generation function 30 executes automatic tracking basic information definition file generation processing (step S25), and FIG. Is completed. This definition file is generated in the secondary storage device 13.
[0034]
Since the tracking basic information definition file generated in this way prevents input errors caused by text input that has been performed in the conventional system, it is necessary to prevent errors when defining the tracking basic information. Can be.
A function of displaying and inputting information in a tabular format allows input of basic tracking information in a tabular format, and provides a basic tracking information input function in association with the tracking information display / input unit 18 to define the basic tracking information. By automatically generating the file, the maintainability of the tracking basic information can be improved.
[0035]
Embodiment 4 FIG.
In the first to third embodiments, although not particularly mentioned, a tracking function program source required to configure a tracking application program having a structure independent of line characteristics (batch line, continuous line, etc.) is controlled. It may be automatically generated as a program.
Hereinafter, a control program automatic generation system according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention for automatically generating a tracking function program source without depending on line characteristics will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 and an explanatory diagram of FIG. .
[0036]
FIG. 7 shows a software configuration of a tracking function program source achieved by the control program automatic generation system according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention.
In FIG. 7, the tracking function program source includes a tracking application program 33, a tracking processing automatic generation program 34, a tracking application interface 35, a batch line basic tracking software 36, and a continuous line tracking basic software 37. .
[0037]
The tracking processing automatic generation program 34 is automatically generated according to the first embodiment. The program maker uses the tracking processing automatic generation program 34 in the tracking application program 33 created by itself.
The tracking application interface 35 includes a group of functions including a tracking processing automatic generation program 34, and provides an application interface to the tracking application program 33.
[0038]
Further, the batch line basic tracking software 36 is applied to a steel hot rolling line and the like, and the continuous line tracking basic software 37 is applied to a steel annealing line and a continuous plating line.
The batch line basic tracking software 36 and the continuous line tracking basic software 37 are basic software that can be selectively used according to the characteristics of the process line.
[0039]
The program maker produces the tracking application program 33 using the tracking processing automatic generation program 34 and the tracking application interface 35. Thus, the application interface provided by the batch line tracking basic software 36 and the continuous line tracking basic software 37 has a software structure in which neither is used.
[0040]
On the other hand, the software configuration (not shown) of the tracking function program source according to the conventional system is composed of only the tracking application program 33, the batch line basic tracking software 36, and the continuous line tracking basic software 37. The tracking application program 33 uses an application interface provided by the batch line basic tracking software 36 or the continuous line tracking basic software 37.
[0041]
By adopting the programming function as shown in FIG. 7 and utilizing the generated tracking function program as an application interface provided on the basic software corresponding to the line characteristics, the difference in the line characteristics compared to the conventional one is obtained. Since the tracking application program can be created without being conscious of the problem, the man-hours for the program maker, which occurs due to lack of experience in individual lines, can be reduced.
In addition, since the automatically generated tracking function program is used as an application interface provided on the basic software corresponding to the line characteristics, it is possible to create a program without considering the line characteristics. It does not depend on (such as a continuous line or a batch line), but can improve the diversification of the tracking program beyond the line characteristics and can be easily diverted between different systems.
[0042]

In this case, there is provided a function of automatically generating a tracking function program source necessary for establishing a tracking application program structure in which a replacement program at the time of repair is only an automatically generated portion in the same manner as in the first embodiment. It is assumed that

In FIG. 8, first, the user performs correction input of the tracking input information 19 by using the keyboard 14, and corrects the tracking operation information (step S31). Next, an automatic generation instruction is issued (step S32), whereby the repair program is automatically generated as in the first embodiment.
[0044]
The repair program thus generated is subjected to a replacement process (step S33), and subsequently, an operation check is performed (step S34).
At this time, in the replacement process of step S33, only the process of replacing the tracking process automatic generation program 34 and regenerating the program module is required, and there is no need to modify the tracking application program 33.
[0045]
Next, following the operation check (step S34), it is determined whether or not the operation is normal (step S35). If the operation is determined to be normal (ie, YES), the repair process in FIG. 8 is completed. Become.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S35 that the operation is defective (that is, NO), the cause of the defect is determined (step S36), and the process returns to step S31 to correct the tracking input information 19 again.
Thereafter, by repeating the same processing flow as above, adjustment is performed until the repair is completed.
[0046]
In the conventional tracking function adjustment, it is necessary to correct the code of the tracking application program 33 at the time of repair, and the logic is complicatedly intertwined in the program, so further defects at the time of repair and a great deal of man-hour for repair are required. Had been raised.
On the other hand, by making the tracking function by using the control program automatic generation system according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention, spiral adjustment becomes possible, whereby the production, testing and repair can be performed in a short cycle. It can be carried out. Also, by adopting a structure of a tracking processing program combined from the tracking function standard component 17 and providing a function that eliminates the need for a manual correction portion at the time of program modification, the automatically generated program can be implemented by the tracking function standard component 17. And the need for a manual correction portion at the time of program modification is eliminated, so that the number of steps required for function adjustment and program modification can be reduced.
