Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically detect/notify the power source abnormality of a computer device, and to enable a maintenance staff to easily perform a maintenance operation, and to avoid such situations that cause any obstacle to a scheduled system operation. <P>SOLUTION: A computer device 1 is incorporated with a current/voltmeter 21 in a socket box 2 which supplies a power source, and an automatic operation controller 3 is provided with a function which detects the abnormality of a current value or voltage value in the socket box 2 for detecting the generation of any failure, and notifies a maintenance staff of the generation of the failure. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to an automatic operation control system, and more particularly to an automatic operation control system that detects abnormal termination when a power is turned off.

  In the prior art, in an automatic operation control system that realizes power control of each computer device according to a preset schedule, the power-off instruction of the target computer device is given by an instruction from the automatic power control device. If the shutdown process cannot be normally terminated due to some cause on the computer device side, the power of the target computer device is not turned off, and no notification is given to maintenance personnel.

  In an automatic operation control system that realizes power control of each computer device according to a preset schedule, the shutdown processing is performed even though the target computer device is instructed to be turned off by an instruction from the automatic power control device. If the target computer device cannot be terminated normally for some reason, the target computer device will not be turned off and the maintenance personnel will not be notified at all. Therefore, the target computer device will not be turned on normally in the next power-on process. was there.

  The automatic operation control system of the present invention includes an outlet box with a built-in current / voltmeter and supplying power, and an automatic operation control device that detects an abnormality in the current value or voltage value of the outlet box 2.

  According to the present invention, in an automatic operation control system that realizes power control of each computer device according to a schedule, an abnormality at the time of termination of the computer device can be detected and maintained before the next power-on. It is possible to avoid the situation that hinders the system operation.

  Next, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of an automatic driving control system using the present invention. In the figure, the automatic operation control system includes a computer device 1, an outlet box 2 for supplying power to the computer device 1, and an automatic power supply control device 3 for instructing automatic operation.

  The outlet box 2 has a built-in ammeter / voltmeter 21, a function for transmitting a current value / voltage value to the automatic operation control device, and a power control unit that receives a power-on / off instruction from the automatic operation device and turns on / off the power. 22.

  The automatic operation control device 3 includes a power supply control processing unit 31 that performs power supply control processing such as power-on / off, a power-off information detection unit 32 that detects power-off information such as a power-off instruction, and power supply at a specified time. A schedule management unit 33 for instructing on / off, a current / voltage value detection unit 34 for detecting a current value / voltage value from an outlet box, and a communication unit 35 for communicating with a designated contact when an abnormality is detected. .

Next, the operation of the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In the computer apparatus 1 that does not have the self-monitoring function, it is set in advance that the power is turned off when the shutdown process is normally completed. A shutdown command is issued in response to a power-off instruction from information stored in the schedule management unit of the automatic operation control device 3, and the computer device 1 also performs a shutdown to the power-off information detection unit of the automatic operation control device 3. Send the information.

  When the power-off information detecting unit 32 of the automatic operation control device 3 receives the shutdown execution information from the computer device 1, after a sufficient set time longer than the time required for normal shutdown from the received time, the ammeter of the outlet box The current value / voltage value is detected from the voltmeter 21 and stored in the current / voltage value detector 34.

  The automatic operation control device 3 compares the detected current value / voltage value with the threshold value determined to be in the power-off state, and determines that the power supply has been normally disconnected when the value is equal to or less than the threshold value. Information on power-off is transmitted from the processing unit 31 to the power control unit 22 of the outlet box 2, and the outlet box 2 is turned off. When the detected current value / voltage value exceeds the threshold value, it is determined that there is an abnormality, and that fact is communicated to the maintenance staff from the communication unit 35 (FIG. 2).

The block diagram which shows the structure of the best form for implementing this invention. Explanatory drawing which shows operation | movement of the best form for implementing this invention.
