Such a block component arrangement screen may be provided to the terminal device 2.

  7 and 8 are flowcharts showing the basic operation of the panel equipment design support server device 1 from the design information input to the design result output from the terminal device 2 of the design requester. Here, the design of the “light control panel” is shown as an example, and will be described with reference to a detailed flowchart and the various databases.

  The server device 1 takes in the design information input from the design requester's terminal device 2 and generates a record in the design information database 21.

  Captures the entered property information, and sequentially captures the design information of the “Lighting panel for the large hall for the renovation of the theater south hall” into the main breaker, dimmer circuit, switching circuit, and control circuit, and performs database storage processing. . That is, the information on the input main breaker is stored in the record of the design information database 21. For the information on the dimming circuit input, the component master database 23 is searched and the block component corresponding to the component is selected. The number of block parts is calculated by a calculation formula (number of input parts ÷ number of circuits), and then stored in the design information database 21. This process is repeated for all dimming circuits to which design information has been input. The switching circuit and the control circuit also execute the same processing as that of the dimming circuit.

  In addition, when the determined block part is discontinued and information indicating the succeeding part is included in the corresponding block part information in the part master database 23, the design information is automatically changed to the succeeding part. Store in database 21.

  Based on the information in the design information database 21 thus input, the number of block parts is aggregated, the box is selected by the board master database 23, and the layout design of the block parts on the board is executed. To store.

  Box body selection is performed according to the arrangement possible condition of whether or not a part can be arranged. That is, a box that can be actually placed by comparing the number of components that can be accommodated in the board type determination master database 22 with the count total value for each block part of the input parts as a possible placement condition. Determine the body. In the case where there are a plurality of boxes that meet this arrangement possible condition, a box that matches the equipment classification is selected with reference to the equipment classification in the panel type determination master database 22. If there are a plurality of matching boxes at this stage, the box with the largest number of past shipments is determined based on the past shipment quantity information in the panel type determination master database 22. Furthermore, if there are a plurality of matching boxes at this stage, the cheapest box is determined based on the box price information in the board type determination master database 22.

  In this example, referring to the parts master base from the design information stored in the design information database 21, the master breaker is a total of two master breakers X and Y, 100 dimmer circuits a, 100 b circuits 36 circuits of c, 10 circuits of d, 8 circuits of e, 6 circuits of f, 50 dimming modules A2, 50 E2, 18 A2, 5 A2, 8 D , E2 are selected, so that the total number of dimming circuit blocks is 130, and the control circuits a, b, and c are selected as three control modules A, three B1, and three D1, respectively. Therefore, the total number of control circuit blocks is 3, and the number of switching circuits a is 4, MC block A.

  And the box which stores each block component is divided into the corresponding box of the board type determination master database, and is selected based on the arrangement possible condition. The master board is selected as satisfying the pre-registered power supply capacity as an arrangementable condition, and in this example, a board having a power supply capacity larger than 200 W and 250 W of the main breaker X and main breaker Y is selected. The In the board type determination master database, all of the boards are selectable because they are all 400 W or more. In this case, the equipment classification is focused as the next priority condition, and the equipment classification A in the board type determination master database 22 is adapted as the equipment classification “Hall” is adapted, for example, main board 1 to main board 6 are selected. Further, the master board 2 having a larger number of past shipments is selected. The dimmer panel that houses the dimming module, which is the next block component to be determined, is selected as follows. First, it is selected on the basis that it is smaller than the pre-registered maximum mounting module size as a possible arrangement condition, but when there are more dimming modules to be stored than the maximum mounting module size of all dimmer panels The dimmer panel with the largest maximum mounting module size is selected. Next, the remaining number obtained by subtracting the mounting module size from the number of dimming modules is again selected as the number of dimming modules. In this case, three dimmer panels 8 are selected. A single box is determined for the control panel and switching panel by the same procedure.

  In this way, block parts are arranged in order in the box selected for each block part, and when the arrangement is completed, the design result is stored in the design result database 24, and the arranged block part arrangement screen is displayed on the terminal device 2. Let

  Then, one block part is taken out from the design information database 21 one by one, and the block parts are sequentially arranged in the box while referring to the number of parts that can be accommodated in the panel type determination master database 22 and the arrangement position information in the part master database 23. .

  The terminal device 2 of the design requester is inquired as to whether there is a problem with the completed component arrangement. If there is a problem or a request, the placement position itself may be changed or replaced with another block part, and redesign and part rearrangement may be performed, and the result stored in the design result database 24. .

  As shown in FIG. 9, the arrangement position is changed by replacing or moving parts displayed on the screen of the terminal device 2. In addition, when an attempt is made to change to a position where it cannot be arranged, a warning is given to notify that the change cannot be made.

  Although not shown in the overall flowchart, the part master database 23 includes accessory part information, and when there is an accessory part, the accessory part of the block part is simultaneously determined based on this information. ) Can be provided to the design requester.

  In such a panel equipment design support system, the panel type determination master database 22 has a box type that can store only a single type of block part, a block part corresponding to this box type, and a box type that can be stored. Since there are many pieces of block information, a single box can be used efficiently even when a certain number of block parts are prominent, and the total number of boxes can be minimized. Can be less.

  In the above example, the past shipment unit information has a higher priority than the box price information, but it may be reversed. In the above example, the number of light control modules protrudes more than other components, and the total number of boxes can be reduced by using a light control panel that houses only the light control modules. In the case where there are not many types of parts protruding so far, the method described in the conventional method (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-149724) may be able to reduce the total number of boxes. A box may be selected by both the conventional method and the method described above, and a method of reducing the total number of boxes may be employed.
