Description

  The present invention relates to a supervisory control system, and more particularly, to a supervisory control system including a supervisory control terminal in an optical transmission system and an optical transmission terminal device which is a monitored device to be monitored and controlled by the supervisory control terminal.

  Conventionally, in a supervisory control terminal in an optical transmission system, when a fault monitor is displayed by displaying a summary screen of each optical transmission terminal device (hereinafter referred to as a monitored device), it is based on a predetermined device configuration. A summary screen was created and displayed to monitor faults.

  In such a monitoring control terminal, when the device configuration of the monitored device is different for each station, it is necessary to change the configuration information according to each monitored device connected in each monitoring control terminal. Since each station building has a different device configuration, the configuration information set in the monitoring control terminal has been cumbersome to manage separately for each station building.

  Further, in the optical transmission system, the operation history of each monitored device, the history of error occurrence cancellation, the operation history of the monitoring control terminal, and the like are displayed on the screen as character data and stored therein. The stored character data was mainly used for investigating the cause when a device failure occurred in the system or apparatus.

  In addition, in a monitoring control terminal that performs monitoring control of a monitored device using a multi-window system, a subrack such as what board is mounted in what order in each subrack constituting the monitored device. When a device failure is notified from the monitored device to the monitoring control terminal, the monitoring control terminal automatically opens a window that displays the subrack level mounting diagram including the board on which the failure occurred. The failure location is displayed on the subrack level mounting diagram by blinking the display of the board where the failure occurred or changing the display color so that the failure location can be visually recognized. If multiple device faults occur, open as many windows as necessary to display the multiple subrack level implementation diagrams on the screen, and then use each subrack implementation diagram to identify the location of the fault. It was displayed.

  As described above, in the conventional monitoring control system, when the device configuration of the monitored device for each station building is different, the configuration information constructed in the monitoring control terminal connected to each monitored device is changed, Since each station was managed separately, there was a problem that it took much time. In addition, once the configuration information is determined, there is a drawback that it is not possible to connect to monitored devices having different device configurations.

  Further, in the conventional monitoring control system, the operation history of each monitored device, the history of error occurrence cancellation, the operation history of the monitoring control terminal, etc. are displayed on the screen as character data except for the screen showing the latest state. Therefore, the worker had to read the necessary data while tracing the character data arranged in the time order. Furthermore, whether or not some state change occurred in the device while the operator was absent, and if so, what kind of state change occurred at what timing and changed to the current state It was difficult to obtain information immediately.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems, and the object of the present invention is to read configuration information from the monitored device and build and display a summary screen of the monitored device based on this configuration information. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a monitoring control system that can flexibly cope with the difference in device configuration in each monitored apparatus and can perform reliable failure monitoring.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a network composed of a plurality of monitored devices, and one or a plurality of monitoring control terminals for monitoring and controlling the network and each monitored device. In the monitoring control system, each monitored device includes a detecting unit that detects the configuration information of the device itself, and a configuration information storage unit that stores the detected configuration information. Reading means for reading out the configuration information from the configuration information storage unit of the monitored apparatus via means, automatic construction means for automatically constructing a summary screen of each monitored apparatus based on the read configuration information, and automatic construction Display means for displaying a summary screen of each monitored device.

  That is, in the present invention, the configuration information is set in the configuration information storage unit by detecting the equipment configuration of the device to be monitored, for example, an extension rack or a shelf using a contact point. The monitoring control terminal reads the configuration information from the monitored device, automatically constructs a summary screen corresponding to the device configuration based on the configuration information, and displays the screen. By enabling this automatic construction, it is possible to connect to any monitored device without changing the configuration information corresponding to each device configuration, and it becomes possible to monitor and control the network.

  According to the present invention, by reading the configuration information from the monitored device and automatically constructing and displaying the summary screen of the monitored device based on this configuration information, it is possible for the monitored device of any device configuration. Fault monitoring is possible by connecting a monitoring control terminal. Therefore, it is possible to install the monitoring control terminal in the station building without changing the configuration information inside the monitoring control terminal even for monitored devices having different device configurations.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First, the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a monitored apparatus and a monitoring control terminal of an optical transmission system according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a monitored apparatus and 2 denotes a monitoring control terminal. The monitored terminal 1 includes a device configuration contact detection unit 11, a failure detection unit 12, a function control unit 13, a configuration information storage unit 14, and a communication control unit 15. The monitoring control terminal 2 includes a communication control unit 21, an operation unit 22, a function control unit 23, a screen construction unit 24, a screen display unit 25, and a configuration screen storage unit 26.

  FIG. 2 shows a contact (such as a dip switch) detected by the device configuration contact detection unit 11 of the monitored apparatus 1. The contact A can detect the presence or absence of an extension rack. In bit 0 of the contact A, there is no extension rack when 0, and there is an extension rack when 1. The contact B can detect the presence or absence of a low-speed I / F shelf. Bits 0 to 3 correspond to the shelves 1 to 4, 0 indicates no shelf, and 1 indicates that there is a shelf.

  FIG. 3 shows a configuration information memory set by the configuration information storage unit 14 based on the information on the device configuration contacts. The memory A stores data of 0: no, 1: yes as additional rack information. A value of 1 to 4 is set in the memory B as information on the number of low-speed I / F shelves.

  FIG. 4 shows a summary screen automatically constructed by the monitoring control terminal based on the configuration information corresponding to the device configuration. Type A is a basic configuration of the monitored apparatus 1 and includes a COM shelf, a high-speed I / F shelf, and low-speed I / F shelves 1 and 2. It is shown that four types of device configurations from type B to E are possible by further adding to the shelf or adding more racks to this basic configuration. Types B and C have one or two low-speed I / F shelves and no additional racks. That is, Type B has three total low-speed I / F shelves, and Type C has four total low-speed I / F shelves. Types D and E have a configuration with additional racks. In type D, a low-speed I / F shelf 3 is added, and in type E, low-speed I / F shelves 3 and 4 are added.

  The operation of the above configuration will be described below. First, a method for setting configuration information in the monitored apparatus 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the monitored device 1 is activated, information on presence / absence of an additional rack is read from the contact A according to an instruction from the function control unit 13 to the device configuration contact detection unit 11 (step S1). Based on the result, extension rack information is set in the configuration information memory A (step S2). Similarly, the presence / absence of the low-speed I / F shelf is read from the contact B (step S3), and the number of low-speed I / F shelves is set to the memory B (step S4).

  Next, the automatic construction method of the summary screen based on the device configuration in the monitoring control terminal 2 will be described according to the flowchart of FIG. When the monitoring control terminal is activated by the operation unit 22, the communication control unit 21 transmits a configuration information read request to the monitored device 1 according to an instruction from the function control unit 23 (step S10). In the monitored apparatus 1, the communication control unit 15 receives the configuration information read request (step S11), and the request reads the configuration information according to an instruction from the function control unit 13 (step S12). The read configuration information is transmitted to the monitoring control terminal 2 via the communication control unit 15 as a configuration information read response (step S13). The monitoring control terminal 2 receives the configuration information read response (step S14), and determines which of the types A to E according to the device configuration from the presence / absence of the extension rack read from the monitored device 1 and the number of low-speed I / F shelves. The summary screen is automatically constructed by the screen construction unit 24 (step S15). The automatically constructed screen type is stored in the configuration screen storage unit 26 (step S16), and the summary screen of the monitored device 1 is displayed on the screen display unit 25 (step S17).

  Next, a procedure for displaying a fault on the monitoring control terminal 2 when a fault is detected in the monitored apparatus 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the failure detection unit 12 of the monitored apparatus 1 detects a failure such as a substrate failure (particularly, the low-speed I / F shelf 3 or the shelf 4) (step S20), the function control unit 13 passes through the communication control unit 15. Is transmitted to the monitoring control terminal 2 (step S21). In the monitoring control terminal 2, the communication control unit 21 receives the failure information (step S 22), a display instruction is passed from the function control unit 23 to the screen display unit 25, and the summary screen automatically constructed from the configuration screen storage unit 26. Is read (step S23), and the detected failure corresponding to the device configuration is displayed (step S24).

  As described above, in this embodiment, even if the device configuration of the monitored device is different, the configuration information is read from the monitored device, the summary screen is automatically constructed based on this configuration information, and the device configuration of which device configuration is selected. A monitoring control terminal can also be connected to the monitoring device for monitoring control.

  The outline of the second embodiment of the present invention will be described below. In the second embodiment, the state history data of the monitored device is collected at any time or at an arbitrary interval by the communication means, and the change points inputted in advance from various state statuses that the collected state history data should be able to take. Those that meet the search condition (here, “Major alarm”) are detected. This makes it possible to detect a state change point that needs to be displayed on the monitoring control terminal. Further, a screen image displayed on the terminal at the time of detection is calculated and generated by performing normal program processing, and the screen image is stored and managed in the form of the same size, reduced size, or compressed. Then, the stored plural screens are displayed simultaneously with the current latest screen. Since these screen images are managed in the monitoring control terminal together with the detected conditions, time, display order, etc., some or all of them may be displayed in any order, unnecessary screens may be deleted, or searched. it can.

  FIG. 8 is a functional block diagram of the second embodiment of the present invention. The monitoring control terminal 50 includes a communication control unit 51, a history data storage unit 52, a history data change point detection unit 53, a screen data storage unit 54, a screen display. A control unit 55, an operation unit 56, a change point data condition storage unit 57, a previous operation display state storage unit 58, and a reception data storage unit 59 are included. Reference numeral 60 denotes a monitored device.

  Below, the effect | action of an above-described structure is demonstrated. Based on the conditions in the condition storage unit 57 for change point data set by the operator in advance by the operation unit 56, the data obtained from the monitored device 60 by the communication control unit 51 is filtered. At 53. When a change point is detected in the history data change point detection unit 53, the screen display control unit 55 stores the detected change point in the display screen data storage unit 54, and displays it according to an instruction from the operation unit 56. Display on the screen.

  FIG. 9 is an internal data configuration diagram specifically showing the structure of data stored in the history data storage unit 52 described above. In FIG. 9, the memory destination indicated by the screen data address indicates the head address of each screen data stored in the screen data storage unit 54. It is assumed that the date / time is the time when the change point occurs and is included in the received data storage unit 59. The history screen number Dx (x: x = 1... N, N is the maximum value) means the xth history data. Dx-1 is data immediately before (before) Dx (x = 1,..., N). * In the figure indicates the history screen No. This means that the X alarm at D1 has changed from the ON state (occurrence) to the OFF state (release). The accumulated data table stores a change point search condition (here, an alarm satisfying the “Major alarm”, for example, a state where the Q alarm is ON (occurrence)). At the same time, the date / time October 8th, 9:00 and the screen data before the change are stored.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the monitoring control terminal. First, the history data (Log data) of the monitored device 60 is captured and stored internally by the communication means (step S31). Next, it is determined whether or not a change point that matches the set level (item) is detected from the data (step S32). If it is detected, the latest (after change) data is displayed large at the center of the screen as before (step S33). The data before the change is stored in Dx (x = 1,..., N) in the accumulation table (step S34). At this time, it is determined whether or not the number of stored data exceeds the maximum value N (x> N) (step S35). If it exceeds, the old data (D1) is deleted and x = 1 is set (step S40). The process proceeds to step S36. On the other hand, if not, the process proceeds to step S36. In step S36, it is checked whether or not there is a pair of changes in the accumulated data (whether the data detected this time is cancellation information of previously detected data), and the time data of the paired data Dx ′. Is added to Dx in the accumulation table (step S37). Next, the bitmap of the address indicated by the accumulated data (Dx) is displayed on the screen edge together with the latest data of the process of step S33 (step S38).

  On the other hand, if no change suitable for the setting item is detected in the determination in step S32, the character data is displayed on the screen as it is in the scroll area as usual, and the data is accumulated (step S39).

  11A, 11B, and 11C show screen display examples. 11A and 11C show state changes in the device configuration diagram and the like, and FIG. 11B shows changes in graphs in the device setting diagram and the like.

  In FIG. 11A, a screen 101 on the right side shows a screen in the latest state in which communication paths (paths) are established between the nodes A to E. 100A, 100B, and 100C on the left screen 100 are three screens each showing the previous history state, and indicate the path state change. These screens can be scrolled between D1 and Dn.

  In FIG. 11B, a screen 103 on the right side shows a screen in the latest state of the graph in the device setting diagram and the like. 104A and 104B on the screen 104 on the left are two screens each showing the previous history state, thereby showing a change in the state of the graph. These screens can be scrolled between D1 and Dn.

  Further, in FIG. 11C, the upper screen 105A of the right screen 105 shows the urgency level of the alarm when the input signal is abnormal, and indicates that the urgency level is higher as the hatching width becomes narrower. The lower screen 105B indicates the urgency level of an alarm when a hardware failure such as a board occurs, and indicates that the urgency level is higher as the hatching width becomes narrower. 106A and 106B on the screen 106 on the left are two screens each showing the previous history state, and show a change in the alarm state. These screens can be scrolled between D1 and Dn.

  Moreover, as a modification, by providing the display state storage unit 58 at the time of the previous operation shown in FIG. 8, even if the terminal is not always connected to the monitored device, the previous information can be displayed by displaying the previous information. You can know the difference.

  In addition, since the operation history can be displayed when the same operation is performed, it is useful for preventing an operation error and recognizing an operation error.

  The third embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below. FIG. 12 is a block diagram showing a processing flow of the third embodiment of the present invention. When the operator requests the failure status reading 600 of the monitored device 220 from the operation unit 201 of the monitoring control device, the transmission / reception message processing unit 202 generates a failure information read request message 610 for the monitored device 220 and passes through the communication control unit 203. To the monitored device 220.

  One or more failure information read request response messages 611 of the monitored device 220 are passed to the transmission / reception message processing unit 202 via the communication control unit 203.

  The transmission / reception message processing unit 202 reads out information on the location of failure and its urgency from the received one or more response messages 611, and obtains information on the location of the failure, urgency information, and event information indicating failure status reading. The failure information read request is transferred to the failure display control unit 204 as a screen display request 632.

  The failure display control unit 204 determines the failure display position and the failure display color from the failure occurrence position information and the urgency level information. Further, the window display priority order determined in the process of FIG. Then, referring to the failure display window management table 205, a window to be newly opened is determined. The failure display control unit 204 issues a new window generation request 627 to the window control unit 206 in order of increasing priority in order of priority and a front display request 625 so that the window is displayed at the top in the overlap of windows. Request.

  Next, the failure display control unit 204 passes a new drawing flag, window identifier, screen identifier, failure display position, and failure display color to the failure screen drawing processing unit 207.

  When a new drawing is necessary, the failure screen drawing processing unit 207 reads out the failure display screen data to be displayed from the failure display screen data unit 208 and draws it on the window identified by the window identifier. Further, the failure display screen is drawn on the corresponding window based on the failure display position and failure display color information received from the failure display control unit 204.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing details of the processing in the failure display control unit 204 described above. First, it is determined whether the message is received from the transmission / reception message processing unit 202 or from the operation unit 201 of the monitoring control device (step S50). In the case of the transmission / reception message processing unit 202, the failure occurrence position, urgency level, and event information are received from the transmission / reception message processing unit 202 (step S54). Next, it is determined whether the event information is a failure information read request response or an alarm notification (step S55). In the case of alarm notification, the steps of FIG. 17 described later are executed. If the event information is a failure information read response, the failure display screen to be displayed in the window is selected from the failure location information (step S56). Which part of the screen is to be displayed as a failure (failure display position) is determined (step S57). Also, the failure display color is determined from the degree of urgency for each location where each failure is displayed (step S58).

  Next, a fault having the highest urgency level among the faults displayed for each fault display screen is selected, and the urgency level is set as the maximum urgency level of this screen. The highest urgency levels of the respective failure display screens are compared by sorting processing or the like, and the priority order is determined from a screen having a high maximum urgency level to a screen having a low maximum urgency level (step S59). This order is set as the window display priority order. FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing details of the processing procedure for determining the priority order.

  First, a certain screen is set as a target screen (step S67). Next, the urgency level of one failure displayed on the target screen is substituted for the maximum urgency parameter of the screen (step S68). Next, the urgency level of the failure displayed on another target screen is compared with the value of the maximum urgency parameter, and if the urgency level is higher than the maximum urgency level parameter value, the maximum urgency level parameter is rewritten (step S69). . It is determined whether or not the comparison with the value of the maximum urgency level parameter has been completed for all the faults displayed on the target screen (step S70). If NO, the process returns to step S69. In the case of YES, the value of the maximum urgency level parameter is set as the maximum urgency level of the target screen (step S71).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the maximum urgency level has been determined for all the failure display screens (step S72). If NO, the process returns to step S67. In the case of YES, the failure display screens are rearranged in the order of highest urgency. This order is set as the window display priority (step S73).

  After the priority determination process in step S59 of FIG. 13, the step of FIG. 14 is executed. That is, the failure display control unit 204 refers to 634 the failure display window management table 205 managed by itself, and obtains information on the failure display window opened at that time. The failure display window management table 205 is a table for managing window identifiers of failure display windows that are open at that time. The failure display control unit 204 determines a window that needs to be newly opened among the windows to be displayed based on the referred result (step S60).

  Next, the failure display control unit 204 displays the failure display windows in order from the lowest priority based on the window display priority (step S61). Next, it is determined whether or not it is necessary to open a new window (step S62). If there is no need to open a new window, the window control unit 206 determines whether the window is already opened or not. A front display request 625 is requested so as to display the topmost window in the overlapping window (step S63). Next, a new drawing flag indicating whether or not to newly draw to the failure screen drawing processing unit 207, a window identifier of a window to be drawn, and a screen for identifying a failure display screen displayed in the window Information about the identifier, the failure display position, and the failure display color is passed to display the failure on the window (step S64). It is determined whether the processing has been completed for all windows, and if not, the process returns to step S61 (step S67).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S62 that a new failure display window needs to be opened, the failure display control unit 204 issues a new window generation request 627 to the window control unit 206, and the window overlaps the windows. The front display request 625 is requested so as to display at the top (step S65). After the window is generated, the window identifier obtained from the window control unit 206 when the window is generated is added to the failure display window management table 205 (step S66).

  Next, the failure display control unit 204 displays a new drawing flag, a window identifier obtained from the window control unit 206 when the window is generated, a screen identifier for identifying a failure display screen to be displayed in the window, a failure display position, and a failure display. The color information is passed to the failure screen drawing processing unit 207 as a failure screen drawing request 635 to display the failure on the window.

  Returning to the flowchart of FIG. 13, if it is determined in step S50 that the reception is from the operation unit 201 of the monitoring control device, the failure display control unit 204 closes the failure display window. It is determined whether the request 601 or the time change request 602 for the window priority display control target. In the case of the time change request 602, the steps of FIG.

  When the failure display control unit 204 receives the request 601 for closing the failure display window from the operation unit 201 of the monitoring control apparatus, the failure display control unit 204 determines the window identifier of the window to be closed and requests the window control unit 206 to close the window 630. (Step S52) and the window identifier of the closed window is deleted from the failure display window management table 205 (step S53).

  Hereinafter, the processing in the failure screen drawing processing unit 207 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. First, the failure screen drawing processing unit 207 determines whether the screen is a new screen by looking at the new drawing flag received from the failure display control unit 204 (steps S74 and S75). In the case of a new drawing, the failure display screen data is read by a read request 636 to the failure display screen data unit 208 using the screen identifier as a key, and this is drawn in the window having the designated window identifier (step S76). Further, based on the information on the failure display position and the failure display color, the failure display screen is drawn on the window having the designated window identifier (step S77). If the drawing is not a new drawing in step S75, step S77 described above is immediately executed without executing step S76.

  Next, an embodiment in which an alarm notification message 612 is received from the monitored device 220 will be described. The alarm notification message 612 received in FIG. 12 is delivered to the transmission / reception message processing unit 202 via the communication control unit 203.

  The transmission / reception message processing unit 202 reads out information on the location of failure and its urgency from the received alert notification message 612, and displays the failure location information and urgency information and event information indicating reception of the alert notification on the screen of the alarm notification. The display request 633 is passed to the failure display control unit 204. The failure display control unit 204 determines the window display priority order determined in the above-described processing of FIG. 15 for the alarm notification received within a predetermined time. The subsequent processing example is the same as the processing example in the failure state reading.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing details of processing of the failure display control unit 204 in a modification of the third embodiment.

  When the event information is alarm notification reception, the failure display control unit 204 selects a failure display screen to be displayed in the window from among the plurality of failure display screens from the notified failure location information (step S78). Further, it is determined which part of the screen is to display the failure (failure display position) (step S79). Also, the failure display color is determined from the urgent level of the alarm notification (step S80).

  Next, a notification standby flag indicating whether or not to wait for the next alarm notification is confirmed, and it is determined whether or not the notification standby flag indicates “standby” (step S81). Transition. If not, the notification standby flag is set to “standby”, the timer is started (step S82), and the process proceeds to step S83. In step S83, the next alarm notification message 613 to be notified later is waited until the time registered in the window priority display control target period parameter elapses. If the notification waiting flag is already “waiting”, the process waits until the timer times out.

  Next, it waits until a timeout occurs in the timer (step S84), and when the timeout occurs, the notification waiting flag is rewritten (reset) to “no waiting” (step S85). Next, for each of the alarm notification messages 612 and 613 received during the standby period, including the alarm notification message 612 in which the notification standby flag is changed to “standby”, the display of the fault display window that displays the notified fault is displayed. The priority is determined by the same procedure as the procedure for determining the window display priority at the time of reading out the failure state (step S86).

  The subsequent processing of the fault display control unit 204 is the same as the processing of the fault display control unit 204 in reading out the fault state.

  Next, a modification will be described in which a function for changing the time range for performing window priority display control by receiving an operation from the operation unit 201 of the monitoring control apparatus when a plurality of alarm notifications are received is described. In FIG. 18, the operation unit 201 of the monitoring control device passes a time change request 602 for the window priority display control target to the failure display control unit 204. In response to this time change request 602, the failure display control unit 204 rewrites the window priority display control target time parameter (step S87), and then displays the time change control result 603 for the window priority display control target on the operation unit 201 of the monitoring control device. (Step S88).
