Description

  The present invention relates to a technology for monitoring facilities and equipment and controlling power supply by placing a personal computer in a controlled facility / equipment and a controlling facility / equipment and operating it remotely from the screen of the controlling personal computer alone. is there.

Conventional Technology Conventional monitoring and remote power control of facilities and equipment have a monitor screen, a control panel, and an alarm display device as separate devices. Most of the remote control side is fixed installation type.

This has the following drawbacks.
(B) Since the monitoring and control devices are separate devices, the viewpoint moves greatly even if they are installed in the same room, and the associated operation (for example, lighting the room while watching the monitor, etc.) Difficult to do.
(B) Since the monitoring and control devices are separate devices, and many of them are fixed, it is difficult to move and use.
(C) Since a device that requires special expertise such as a sequencer is used as a device for direct control, an expert needs to visit the site every time the automatic control operation is changed.
The present invention has been made to eliminate these drawbacks.

Power supply / sensor control device (3) programmed to be controlled by a personal computer in a managed facility / equipment (1) such as an unmanned facility, controlled equipment (4) abnormality monitoring sensor (5), wired or wireless Put a network compatible surveillance camera (6). A personal computer (7) for directly controlling these devices is placed in a place where it can be directly connected to the devices by wire, and through a network device (9) such as a wired and wireless LAN, a dedicated line or the Internet (10), a router, A device control button, input monitoring information (12), and monitoring camera video (11) are simultaneously displayed on the screen of the remote control personal computer (8) of the facility (2) (FIG. 2).
The present invention is a facility / equipment comprehensive remote management system with a personal computer screen having the above-described configuration.

The person in charge of monitoring and equipment operation can control the equipment (4) such as air conditioning, abnormality monitoring sensor (5) information, surveillance camera video (6) on the screen of one remote operation personal computer (8) of the management facility / equipment (2). ) Confirmation can be performed at the same time (Fig. 2), which can be expected to reduce the burden and labor costs.
Since control is possible through wired and wireless LAN, a dedicated line, or the Internet (10), only the remote control personal computer (8) can be moved to perform the above-described monitoring and control operations, and remote control.・ The degree of freedom in the monitoring work place is dramatically increased. Further, if remote control personal computers (8) are prepared at a plurality of locations, the same operation can be performed from any location.
The device direct control personal computer (7) can be programmed to operate automatically by itself, so it is unattended even if there are no people in the management facility / equipment (2) or if the person in charge cannot be operated directly due to a network failure, etc. Controlled facilities / equipment (1) such as facilities can be automatically controlled, and improvement in reliability can be expected.
Maintenance and change of automatic control programs and remote control programs for equipment direct control personal computers (7) can be replaced from remote control personal computers (8) without going to the site, greatly reducing labor and costs. it can.
This system is usually highly effective in unmanned facilities and equipment, but can also be used effectively in constantly manned equipment.

Power supply / sensor control device (3) programmed to be controlled by a personal computer in a managed facility / equipment (1) such as an unmanned facility, controlled equipment (4) such as air conditioning, abnormality monitoring sensor (5), wired or Place the wireless network compatible surveillance camera (6). A personal computer (7) for directly controlling these devices is placed in a place where it can be directly connected to the devices by wire, and through a network device (9) such as a wired and wireless LAN, a dedicated line or the Internet (10), a router, A device control button, input monitoring information (12), and monitoring camera video (11) are simultaneously displayed on the screen of the remote control personal computer (8) of the facility (2) (FIG. 2).
Thereby, the person in charge of monitoring and device operation can perform all device control, input monitoring information, and monitoring camera image confirmation on the screen (FIG. 2) of the remote control personal computer (8).
Further, since it can be controlled through a wired and wireless LAN, a dedicated line, or the Internet (10), the above-mentioned monitoring / control operation can be performed by moving only the remote control personal computer (8).
Further, if remote control personal computers (8) are prepared at a plurality of locations, the same operation can be performed from any location.
The device direct control personal computer (7) is programmed to operate automatically even when it is a single unit. For example, when the anomaly monitoring sensor (5) detects an intruder, it automatically turns on the light, sounds an alarm, and sends an e-mail to the person in charge. As a result, even if there is no person in the management facility / equipment (2) or the person in charge cannot directly operate due to a network failure or the like, the control is automatically performed in the managed facility / equipment (1).
In addition, maintenance / change of the automatic control program and remote operation program of the device direct control personal computer (7) is performed from the remote operation personal computer (8) without going to the site.

It is an apparatus block diagram of this invention. It is a personal computer screen drawing for control of this invention.

Claims (1)

A system for efficient monitoring and control by displaying alarm signals and surveillance camera images from unmanned facilities and equipment power operation buttons and sensor sensing on the screen of a single personal computer in parallel (Fig. 2). Computers (7) that directly control electric devices (4) such as air conditioners, anomaly detection sensors (5), and wired or wireless network cameras (6) by a power supply / sensor control device (3) It is further controlled by a personal computer (8) for remote control of the management facility / equipment (2) through a wired and wireless LAN, a dedicated line, the Internet (10), a network device (9) such as a router or the like.
