  Below, the structure and operation | movement of the said operation procedure preparation apparatus are concretely demonstrated based on drawing which shows the embodiment.

<Embodiment 1>
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the operation procedure creation apparatus according to the present embodiment.

  1 includes an apparatus setting information input unit 5, a plurality of information storage units 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, 20, an inter-device dependency information analysis unit 12, an operation procedure candidate output unit 14, An operation procedure correction unit 16 and an operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 are provided.

  The device setting information input unit 5 inputs device setting information related to the setting of the device to be operated.

  Each information storage unit 10, 11, 13, 20 stores each piece of information used when creating an operation procedure candidate. Specifically, the information storage unit 10 stores device setting information describing the setting value of the device received from the device setting information input unit 5. The information storage unit 11 stores device state information describing a state value indicating the current state of each device. Here, the device status information is updated every time the status value of the device changes. The update process is performed based on information transmitted from the monitoring control device. The information storage unit 13 stores inter-device dependency information describing the inter-device dependency on device operation. The information storage unit 20 stores device procedure information describing a series of procedures related to settings in each device for each setting of each device.

  The inter-device dependency information analysis unit 12 analyzes the inter-device dependency from the inter-device dependency information stored in the information storage unit 13.

  The operation procedure candidate output unit 14 uses the device procedure information stored in the information storage unit 20 to create a plurality of operation procedure candidates according to the device operation waiting time. Specifically, the operation procedure candidates include the device setting information input in the device setting information input unit 5 (in other words, the device setting information stored in the information storage unit 10) and the information storage units 11, 13, 20 Is created using each piece of information (device state information, device dependency information and device procedure information) stored in the device. Further, the operation procedure candidate includes a setting procedure that is a procedure for device setting processing, a confirmation procedure that is a procedure for confirmation processing of device status values, and a standby procedure. Note that the operation procedure candidate is stored in the information storage unit 15.

  The operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 performs a process according to the operation procedure candidate in a simulated manner. And the operation procedure simulation execution part 18 is the execution end time which is the execution end time of each procedure which comprises an operation procedure candidate, and the time at the time of the change of each state value of the apparatus in a confirmation procedure by the said simulation implementation. Get state value change time. Note that the result information (simulation execution result information) calculated by the simulation implementation is stored in the information storage unit 17.

  The operation procedure correction unit 16 uses the simulation execution result information stored in the information storage unit 17 to correct the procedure position of each procedure constituting the operation procedure candidate stored in the information storage unit 15. Specifically, the operation procedure correction unit 16 performs a first correction process and a second correction process described below.

  That is, in the operation procedure candidate, when there is a predetermined confirmation procedure having a state value change time that is smaller than the execution end time, the operation procedure correcting unit 16 performs the first correction process. In the first correction process, the operation procedure correction unit 16 moves the predetermined confirmation procedure to a stage prior to the procedure position of the predetermined confirmation procedure before correction. Or in the said 1st correction process, the operation procedure correction | amendment part 16 interrupts a predetermined | prescribed confirmation procedure in the predetermined | prescribed waiting | standby procedure located before the predetermined | prescribed confirmation procedure before correction.

  In addition, the operation procedure correction unit 16 performs a second correction process in which, in the operation procedure candidate, the predetermined setting procedure is moved immediately after another setting procedure positioned in the previous stage of the procedure from the predetermined setting procedure.

  The operation procedure creation apparatus 100 repeatedly performs the correction process in the operation procedure correction unit 16 and the acquisition process of the simulation execution result in the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 using the corrected operation procedure candidates. . Thereby, the operation procedure creation device 100 selects an operation procedure that can be executed in a shorter time from a plurality of operation procedure candidates, and outputs the selected operation procedure candidate as the final operation procedure. To do.

  FIG. 2 shows a hardware configuration diagram when the operation procedure creating apparatus 100 is applied.

  The PC (personal computer) 23 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 21 that performs calculations and a storage device 22 that can store information.

  In the hardware configuration of FIG. 2, device setting information, device state information, device dependency information, device procedure information, simulation execution result information, and operation procedure candidate information are stored in the storage device 22. Further, the inter-device dependency information analysis unit 13, the operation procedure candidate output unit 14, the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18, and the operation procedure correction unit 16 are stored as programs in the storage device 22 and executed on the CPU 211.

  Although not shown in FIG. 2, the PC 23 includes an operation unit for realizing an external operation on the PC 23 and a display unit for displaying an operation status, various information, and the like. The device setting information input unit 5 is executed by the operation unit.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of the device status information stored in the information storage unit 11.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the device status information is information expressed in a table format, and includes a device name and a status value indicating the current status of the device. In the example of FIG. 3, at a certain point in time, the state (value) of the device “breaker A” is “open”, the state (value) of the device “breaker B” is “closed”, and the device “ammeter The state (value) of “C” is “10 amperes”, and the state (value) of the device “disconnector A” is “closed”. As described above, the device status information is updated every time the device status value changes.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of device setting information stored in the information storage unit 10.

  For example, it is assumed that a setting “closed” for “breaker A” and a setting “closed” for “breaker B” are input to the device setting information input unit 5 as device setting information. In this case, as shown in FIG. 4, device setting information expressed in a table format is stored in the information storage unit 10. As can be seen from FIG. 4, the device setting information includes a device name and a setting value indicating the device setting.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of the inter-device dependency information stored in the information storage unit 13.

  As illustrated in FIG. 5, the inter-device dependency information is information expressed in a table format. The inter-device dependency information includes a device name, a device state, a dependent device name, and a dependent device state. For example, focusing on the second line in FIG. 5, the device name is “breaker A”, the device state is “closed”, the dependent device name is “disconnector 1”, and the dependent device state is “closed”. It is. This means that the state “closed” of “disconnector 1” is set as a precondition that “breaker A” is in the “closed” state. The inter-device dependency information is set and stored in advance in the information storage unit 13 by the user. In the example of FIG. 5, the state “closed” of “disconnector 2” is set as the precondition that “breaker B” is in the “closed” state as the inter-device dependency information. As a precondition that "" is in the "open" state, the state "open" of "breaker 3" is set.

  Next, the operation of the operation procedure creation apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment will be described.

  First, the operation of the inter-device dependency information analysis unit 12 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

  In FIG. 6, first, the inter-device dependency information analysis unit 12 reads device setting information, device state information, and inter-device dependency information from each of the information storage units 10, 11, and 13 (ST60). Next, the inter-device dependency information analysis unit 12 searches the device status information based on the device name and the setting value constituting the device setting information, and acquires the status value of the device name from the device status information. (ST61). Next, the inter-device dependency information analysis unit 12 compares the setting value of the device constituting the device setting information with the state value of the device acquired in ST61, and whether or not the setting value is different from the state value. Is determined (ST63).

  If both values are the same in ST63, the flow of FIG. 6 ends. On the other hand, when the two values are different, as the output information of the inter-device dependency information analysis unit 12, the values are different, that is, “device name” and “setting value” constituting the device setting information read in ST60. Insert (ST63). Next, in the inter-device dependency information read in ST60, based on “device name” and “setting value” having different values, a search is made as to whether there is a “dependent device name” corresponding to these values. (ST64). As a result of the search, it is assumed that there is no “dependent device name” corresponding to “device name” and “setting value” having different values in the inter-device dependency information. In this case, the flow of FIG. 6 ends. On the other hand, it is assumed that “dependent device name” corresponding to “device name” and “setting value” having different values exists in the inter-device dependency information. In this case, the “dependent device name” and the “dependent device state” are set as the new “device name” and “setting value”, and the process returns to ST61 and the subsequent processes of ST61 to ST65 are repeatedly executed. . In ST65, the inter-device dependency information analysis unit 12 sets the “dependent device name” and its “dependent device state” as “device name” constituting the output information of the inter-device dependency information analysis unit 12 and its “setting”. Insert as "value".

  Note that the output information of the inter-device dependency information analysis unit 12 obtained by the series of processes shown in FIG. 6 is input to the operation procedure candidate output unit 14.

  Here, taking as an example the case where the device “breaker A” and the set value “closed” of the device are set as the device setting information, a series of processes in FIG. 6 in this case will be described.

  In ST60, the inter-device dependency information analysis unit 12 reads the device setting information (the circuit breaker A, the set value “closed”), and also reads the device state information illustrated in FIG. 3 and the inter-device dependency information illustrated in FIG. And Next, in ST61, the inter-device dependency information analysis unit 12 acquires a state value corresponding to the device “breaker A” included in the device setting information from the device state information. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the inter-device dependency information analysis unit 12 acquires the state value “open” for the device name “breaker A” from the device state information. As a result of the comparison in ST62, the set value “closed” of “breaker A” included in the device setting information is different from the state value “open” of “breaker A” acquired in ST61.

  Therefore, in ST63, the inter-device dependency information analysis unit 12 adds the device name “breaker A” and the set value “closed” to the output information of the inter-device dependency information analysis unit 12. Next, in ST64, the inter-device dependency information analysis unit 12 searches the inter-device dependency information shown in FIG. 5 based on the device “breaker A” and the set value “closed” that constitute the device setting information ( ST64). As a result of the search, the inter-device dependency information analysis unit 12 depends on the dependent device name “disconnector 1” as a precondition for the setting value “closed” of the device name “breaker A” from the inter-device dependency information. The device state “closed” is acquired (ST65). Then, the processing after ST61 is repeated with the “disconnector 1” and the “closed” acquired in ST65 as the new device name and setting value. Further, in ST65, the inter-device dependency information analysis unit 12 adds “disconnector 1” and “closed” acquired in ST65 as the device name and the set value constituting the output information of the inter-device dependency information analysis unit 12. .

  When the device name is set to “breaker A” and its set value is set to the “closed” state, as a result of the above, the output information of the inter-device dependency information analysis unit 12 is expressed in the table format shown in FIG. Information is obtained. That is, as the output information, the device name “disconnector 1” inserted in ST65 and its set value “closed”, and the device name “breaker A” inserted in ST63 and its set value “closed” are obtained. It is done. As shown above, “breaker 1” and its state “closed” need to be set as preconditions for “breaker A” and its set value “closed”. As shown in FIG. 7, the output information represented by is “disconnector 1” and its state “closed”, “breaker A” and its state “closed” in order from the top.

  Now, it is assumed that the device storage information illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9 is stored in the information storage unit 20.

  The device procedure information is device procedure information corresponding to the device name and setting value of the operation device, and is expressed in a table format. In the device procedure information, a standby time is described, and a confirmation device name and a status value as confirmation items for performing device operation are described.

  In the example of FIG. 8, device procedure information (see the lower part of FIG. 8) when “breaker A” is set to the “closed” state (see the upper part of FIG. 8) is shown. In the device procedure information shown in the lower part of FIG. 8, after waiting for 2 seconds, “selection” of “breaker A” is confirmed, and then “breaker A” is confirmed to be “closed”. Each procedure for confirming that “” is “normal” is described. In the example of FIG. 9, device procedure information (see the lower part of FIG. 9) when “disconnector 1” is set to the “closed” state (see the upper part of FIG. 9) is shown. In the equipment procedure information shown in the lower part of FIG. 9, after waiting for 10 seconds, each procedure for “selecting” “disconnector 1” and then confirming that “disconnector 1” is “closed” is described. ing.

  In the device procedure information, the standby time and the confirmation process do not necessarily have to be configured in this order, and the order of the standby time and the confirmation device constituting the device procedure information may be reversed. Further, the waiting time is not limited to one as in the examples of FIGS. 8 and 9, and a plurality of waiting times may be described in the device procedure information.

  It is assumed that the output information illustrated in FIG. 7 is output from the inter-device dependency information analysis unit 12 through the series of processes illustrated in FIG. Then, the operation procedure candidate output unit 14 performs a series of processes shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  In FIG. 10, the operation procedure candidate output unit 14 reads the output information output from the inter-device dependency information analysis unit 12 (ST80). Next, device procedure information corresponding to each “device name” and its “setting value” constituting the output information read in ST80 is read from the information management unit 20 (ST81). Then, the device procedure information is read in the order of configuring the output information, and output in that order, thereby creating operation procedure candidates as exemplified in FIG. 11 (ST81). The operation procedure candidate output unit 14 stores the created operation order candidates in the information storage unit 15.

  Here, as illustrated in FIG. 11, the operation procedure candidates are expressed in a table format. The operation procedure candidate includes a setting procedure composed of a device name and its set value, a confirmation procedure composed of a confirmation device name and its state value, and a standby procedure composed of a standby time.

  For example, assume that the operation procedure candidate output unit 14 reads the output information shown in FIG. 7 in ST80. In this case, the operation procedure candidate output unit 14 firstly has the device procedure information shown in FIG. 9 corresponding to the “disconnector 1” located in the second row of FIG. 7 and its set value “closed”. Is read from the information storage unit 20 (ST81). Then, “disconnector 1”, its set value “closed”, and subsequently, the device procedure information shown in FIG. 9 read out are output (ST81). Next, the operation procedure candidate output unit 14 stores the device procedure information shown in FIG. 8 corresponding to the “breaker A” located in the third row of FIG. 7 and its set value “closed” as an information storage unit. 20 (ST81). Then, “breaker A”, its set value “closed”, and subsequently, the device procedure information shown in FIG. 8 read out above are output (ST81). As a result of the processing, operation procedure candidates shown in FIG. 11 are created.

  FIG. 11 shows operation procedure candidates (see FIG. 11) created when device setting information (see the upper part of FIG. 11) that is “closed” of “breaker A” is input to the device setting information input unit 5. (See the bottom row). As shown in FIG. 11, the operation procedure candidate is configured by combining the table of FIG. 7 and the tables of FIGS. Here, the order of the table format of FIG. 7 (the circuit breaker A is closed after the disconnector 1 is closed) is also maintained in FIG. In the operation procedure candidate procedure shown in FIG. 11, “disconnector 1” is set to “closed” (setting procedure), and after waiting for 10 seconds (standby procedure), “disconnector 1” is in the “selected” state. It is confirmed in this order (confirmation procedure) that it is present and that “disconnector 1” is “closed”. After that, after setting “breaker A” to “closed” (setting procedure), after waiting for 2 seconds (standby procedure), “breaker A” is in the “selected” state, and “breaker A” is It is confirmed (confirmation procedure) in this order that it is in the “closed” state and that “device 1” is in the “normal” state.

  When the operation procedure candidate is created, the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 performs the operations shown in the flowcharts of FIGS.

  In FIG. 12, the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 first reads a created operation procedure candidate (ST110). Then, it is determined whether or not there is a procedure for performing a simulation for the first procedure among the procedures constituting the operation procedure candidate (ST111). For example, in the operation procedure candidates illustrated in FIG. 11, there is a setting procedure for first setting “disconnector 1” to “closed”. Therefore, the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 proceeds to ST112. In ST112, the operation procedure simulation execution part 18 calls the procedure which became the determination object of ST111, and implements a series of processes shown in FIG.

  After the process of ST112, the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 advances and selects the procedure to be executed next in the operation procedure candidate read in ST110 (ST113). That is, the procedure to be executed is advanced from the current procedure to the procedure in the next procedure order. For example, in ST112, when the setting procedure for setting “disconnector 1” in FIG. 11 to “closed” is executed in a simulated manner, the process proceeds to a standby procedure of “waiting for 10 seconds” which is the next procedure in ST113. Further, as a result of executing the procedure in a simulated manner in ST112, the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 calculates the execution end time of the procedure and acquires the execution end time. Therefore, the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 records information on each time as the calculation result in the information storage unit 17 as simulation execution result information (ST114). Then, after the process of ST114, the process of moving to ST111 is repeatedly performed for the procedure selected in ST113.

  As a result of the repetition, in ST113 at a certain time point, for example, a confirmation procedure for confirming that “device 1”, which is the final procedure in FIG. 11, is in the “normal” state is selected. Suppose that it was implemented. Next, the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 performs the process of ST113. Then, the process proceeds to ST111 again, but in the example of FIG. 11, there is no procedure after the confirmation procedure for confirming that “device 1” is in the “normal” state. Therefore, as a result of the determination in ST111, the process proceeds to ST115. In ST115, the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 calculates the total time required for the simulation execution of the operation procedure candidate read in ST110, and records the calculation result in the information storage unit 17 as simulation execution result information. . Then, a series of processes shown in FIG.

  Next, the specific operation of ST112 shown in FIG. 12 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

  In FIG. 13, the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 first determines whether or not the procedure executed in ST112 is a “setting procedure” (ST120). When it is determined in ST120 that it is a “setting procedure”, the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 transmits a device setting command in accordance with the setting procedure to the monitoring control apparatus in a simulated manner (ST121). This process ends. Then, the transmission time is recorded in ST114 as a result of the simulated execution of the “setting procedure”.

  Unlike the above, when it is determined in ST120 that it is not a “setting procedure”, the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 determines whether or not the procedure executed in ST112 is a “confirmation procedure” (ST122). . When it is determined in ST122 that it is a “confirmation procedure”, the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 proceeds to the process of ST124, and after the process of ST124 ends, the process of FIG. 13 ends.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in ST122 that it is not the “confirmation procedure”, the procedure executed in ST112 is the “standby procedure”, and therefore the operation procedure simulation executing unit 18 determines the time specified in the “standby procedure”. Then, a standby process is simulated (ST123). Then, the process of FIG. 13 ends. For example, in the case of the standby procedure for standby for 10 seconds in the third row in FIG. 11, in ST123, the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 performs standby processing for 10 seconds in a simulated manner. When the “standby procedure” is simulated and finished, the result of the simulation is recorded in ST114.

  Next, the specific operation of ST124 shown in FIG. 13 will be described using the flowchart of FIG. As can be seen from FIG. 13 that the process of ST124 is performed, the procedure that is simulated and executed in ST112 is the “confirmation procedure”.

  In FIG. 14, the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 first acquires the status value of the device that is the “confirmed device name” in the “confirmation procedure” from the monitoring control device (ST130). For example, when the “confirmation procedure” is for confirming the “closed” state of “disconnector 1” shown in FIG. 11, the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 sends “disconnector 1” from the monitoring control device. Get the current simulated execution status value of. Then, the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 compares the “state value” acquired in ST130 with the “state value” of the “confirmation procedure” to be executed in simulation (ST131). Then, as a result of the comparison, it is determined whether or not both state values are the same (ST132).

  When both “state values” are the same in ST132, the time when the state value is changed to the “state value” is acquired from the monitoring control device (ST133). For example, as a result of simulating the “closed” setting procedure of “disconnector 1” in FIG. 11 by the monitoring control device, “disconnector 1” is in the “closed” state in a stage before ST130. Suppose that In this case, since both “state values” are the same in ST132, the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 performs a simulation when the “disconnector 1” is changed from the monitoring controller to the state value “closed”. Get the time. Next, the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 performs simulation execution in the information storage unit 17 of the name of the device to be confirmed in the “confirmation procedure” and the time when the state value of the device has changed (time acquired in ST133). It is stored as result information (ST134). Then, the series of processes in FIG. 14 ends, and the time of the end is recorded in ST114 as a result of the simulated execution of the “confirmation procedure”.

  Unlike the above, when both “state values” are different in ST132, the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 determines whether or not the comparison process of ST131 has been performed a preset number of times (ST135). If it is determined in ST135 that the comparison processing has not been performed for the designated number of times, operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 waits for a predetermined time (for example, 1 second) (ST137). And the operation procedure simulation execution part 18 returns to the process of ST130 again, and repeats the process after ST130. On the other hand, when it is determined in ST135 that the comparison processing has been performed for the designated number of times, the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 determines that the device state value does not match the procedure state value in the monitoring control device. Then, the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 records that the “confirmation procedure” cannot be executed as simulation execution result information in the information storage unit 17, and ends the processing of FIG.

  FIG. 15 shows the result of executing the processes of FIGS. 12 to 14 on the operation procedure candidate constituted by each procedure illustrated in FIG. 11, that is, the result of the simulation execution of the operation procedure candidate. The information illustrated in FIG. 15 includes simulation execution result information acquired from the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 and operation procedure candidates stored in the information storage unit 15 and is stored in the information storage unit 17.

  As illustrated in FIG. 15, the simulation execution result includes the time required for the simulation execution of the entire operation procedure candidate (see “execution time” in the upper part of FIG. 15) and the time at which the simulation execution of each procedure is completed. (Refer to “Execution end time” in the lower table of FIG. 15) Information and time when the state of the device has changed in a simulated manner as a result of the setting procedure (see “Change time at state” in the lower table of FIG. 15) including. The “minimum execution time” in the upper part of FIG. 15 is the result of the simulation execution of a plurality of operation procedure candidates before the operation procedure candidates in FIG. The one with the least time is recorded.

  In the example of FIG. 15, the clock operates when the first procedure of the operation procedure candidate shown in FIG. 11 is completed, and the simulation execution end time of each procedure thereafter is recorded.

  From the example of FIG. 15, as a result of executing the operation procedure candidate shown in FIG. 11 in a simulated manner, the “closed” “setting procedure” of “disconnector 1” is calculated from the end of the simulation execution, and “ The simulation execution of the “standby procedure” ends after 10 seconds, the simulation execution of the “confirmation procedure” for confirming “selection” of the “disconnector 1” ends after 15 seconds, and the “disconnector 1” is in the “closed” state. It can be seen that the simulation execution of the “confirmation procedure” for confirming is completed after 27 seconds. Furthermore, the simulation execution of the “setting procedure” for “closed” of the “breaker A” ends after 27 seconds from the above calculation, and the simulation execution of the “standby procedure” for 2 seconds ends after 29 seconds. The simulation execution of the “confirmation procedure” for confirming “selection” of the “breaker A” ends after 30 seconds, and the simulation execution of the “confirmation procedure” for confirming the “closed” state of the “breaker A” is 30 seconds later. It is understood that the simulation execution of the “confirmation procedure” for confirming the “normal” state of “device 1” is completed after 30 seconds.

  From the example of FIG. 15, as a result of the simulation execution of the operation procedure candidate of FIG. 11, the state value of “disconnector 1” changes to “selected” after 4 seconds from the above calculation, and “disconnector 1” The state value changes to “closed”, the state value of “breaker A” changes to “selected” after 30 seconds, and the state value of “breaker A” changes to “closed” after 30 seconds. It can be seen that the status value of “device 1” has changed to “normal” after 2 seconds.

  Further, although not shown in the example of FIG. 15, when the process of ST136 is executed, the “confirmation procedure” cannot be executed in the “state value change time” of the “confirmation procedure” at that time. Is described.

  Further, it can be seen from the example of FIG. 15 that the time when the simulation execution of the operation procedure candidate of FIG. 11 is completely completed is 30 seconds. Further, as will be described later, the correction of the operation procedure candidates and the correction of the operation procedure candidates after the correction, such as the correction of the operation procedure candidates after the correction, the re-correction of the operation procedure candidates after the simulation execution, The simulated execution of operation procedure candidates is repeatedly performed. Therefore, at least one or more operation procedure candidates are simulated in the past repetition period, and the completion time of the simulation execution is calculated and acquired for each operation procedure candidate. The “minimum execution time” shown in FIG. 15 indicates the shortest of the calculated completion times. In the example of FIG. 15, at least one simulated execution has been executed in the above-mentioned repetition in the past, and the time of the operation procedure candidate whose simulation execution has been completed in the shortest is “50 seconds”. Is shown.

  Now, after the simulated execution of the operation procedure candidates is performed, next, the procedure order of each procedure constituting the operation procedure candidates by the operation procedure correction unit 16 is corrected. 16, 17, 18, and 19 are flowcharts illustrating the operation of the operation procedure correction unit 16.

  In FIG. 16, first, the operation procedure correcting unit 16 reads from the information storage unit 17 the simulation execution result information of the operation procedure candidates expressed in, for example, the table format shown in FIG. 15 (ST150). Next, the operation procedure correction unit 16 determines whether or not there is a procedure that cannot be executed in the read simulation execution result information (ST151). That is, in ST151, it is determined whether or not the recording in ST136 shown in FIG. 14 has been performed.

  When it is determined in ST151 that there is a procedure that cannot be executed, the operation procedure correction unit 16 determines the operation procedure candidate that has been simulated and recorded in the past “minimum execution time” as the operation procedure candidate to be corrected ( ST158). For example, in the example of FIG. 15, if it is recorded that a procedure that cannot be executed is included in the simulation execution result information of FIG. 15, “50 seconds” that has been simulated in the past is recorded. Operation procedure candidates are determined as correction targets in ST158. After the process of ST158 is completed, the operation procedure correcting unit 16 proceeds to the process of ST155.

  Unlike the above, when it is determined in ST151 that there is no non-executable procedure, the operation procedure correcting unit 16 performs “execution time” which is a part of the result of the simulation execution performed immediately before shifting to the correction processing. Is longer than the “minimum execution time” recorded in the past (ST152).

  When it is determined in ST152 that the “execution time” is longer than the “minimum execution time”, the process of ST158 is performed. That is, the operation procedure correction unit 16 determines the operation procedure candidate that has been simulated and recorded with the past “minimum execution time” as the operation procedure candidate to be corrected. On the other hand, when it is determined in ST152 that the “execution time” is equal to or less than the “minimum execution time”, the operation procedure correction unit 16 executes the “minimum execution time” immediately before the correction processing. It is changed to “execution time” which is a result of the simulation execution (ST153). And the operation procedure correction part 16 determines the operation procedure candidate simulated and performed immediately before the said correction process as the object of a correction process (ST154). For example, in the example of FIG. 15, the operation procedure correcting unit 16 changes the “minimum execution time” from “50 seconds” to “30 seconds” (ST153), and the operation procedure candidates listed in the lower table of FIG. Is determined as a correction target (ST154).

  After the correction target is determined in ST158 and ST154, the operation procedure correction unit 16 performs a procedure correction process (ST155). After finishing the process of ST155, the operation procedure correcting unit 16 next determines whether or not the procedure is actually corrected in ST155 (ST156). When it is determined in ST156 that the correction has been executed, the operation procedure correcting unit 16 overwrites the operation procedure candidate before correction stored in the information storage unit 15 with the corrected operation procedure candidate (ST157). Thereafter, the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 performs simulation execution (see FIGS. 12 to 14) according to the corrected operation procedure candidate (ST157). Note that after the simulation execution, the operation procedure correction unit 16 performs the correction flow of FIG. 16 again. That is, the simulation execution flow of FIGS. 12 to 14 and the correction flow of FIG. 16 (specifically, FIGS. 16 to 19) are repeatedly performed. On the other hand, assume that it is determined in ST156 that correction has not been executed. At this time, the operation procedure correcting unit 16 finally determines the operation procedure candidate selected in ST154 or ST158, that is, the operation procedure candidate for which the correction process has not been performed in ST155, as the operation procedure (ST159).

  17 to 19 are flowcharts illustrating the detailed operation of the process of ST155 of FIG.

  In FIG. 16, the operation procedure correcting unit 16 performs a predetermined confirmation procedure with a “state value change time” smaller than the “execution end time” in each procedure constituting the operation procedure candidate selected in ST154 or ST158. It is determined whether or not it exists (ST160). Refer to the table in the lower part of FIG. 15 for “execution end time” and “state value change time”.

  When it is determined that there is a predetermined confirmation procedure that has a “state value change time” smaller than the “execution end time”, the operation procedure modification unit 16 corrects the procedure sequence of the confirmation procedure shown in ST161. Perform the process. On the other hand, when it is determined that there is no predetermined confirmation procedure having a “state value change time” smaller than the “execution end time”, the operation procedure correction unit 16 performs the procedure sequence of the setting procedure shown in ST162. Implement the process to correct.

  First, the specific process of step S161 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the operation procedure correcting unit 16 pays attention to the first procedure (for example, the procedure existing in the second row of the lower table of FIG. 15) constituting the operation procedure candidate determined in ST154 or ST158. Of course, since the first procedure exists, the operation procedure modification unit 16 determines that there is a “procedure” in ST170. After that, the operation procedure correcting unit 16 determines whether or not the focused procedure is a “confirmation procedure” (ST171). When it is determined in ST171 that the procedure is not a “confirmation procedure” (that is, when the focused procedure is a “setting procedure” or a “standby procedure”), the operation procedure correcting unit 16 configures a procedure for configuring an operation procedure candidate in ST174. Advance one line. That is, the focused procedure is advanced from the current procedure to the procedure in the next procedure order. For example, the focused procedure is changed from the procedure existing in the second row of the lower table of FIG. 15 to the procedure existing in the third row. On the other hand, when it determines with it being a "confirmation procedure" in ST171, the operation procedure correction part 16 performs the process of ST172.

  In ST172, the operation procedure correcting unit 16 determines whether or not the “state value change time” is smaller than the “execution end time” in the currently focused procedure (confirmation procedure) (ST172). When it is determined that the “state value change time” is not smaller than the “execution end time”, the operation procedure correction unit 16 performs ST174. On the other hand, when it is determined that the “state value change time” is smaller than the “execution end time”, the operation procedure correction unit 16 performs the first correction process in ST173.

  Then, after the first correction process, the operation procedure correction unit 16 performs the process of ST174, and then returns to the process of ST170. If the process of ST170 to ST174 is repeated a plurality of times to reach the final procedure of the candidate operation procedure, and the procedure is advanced by one line in ST174, in ST170, the operation procedure correcting unit 16 determines that there is no procedure. It will be. In this case, a series of processes shown in FIG.

  FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating a result of the first correction process performed on the operation procedure candidate illustrated in FIG. In the example of FIG. 15, there is no non-executable procedure recorded in ST136 (ST151), and “execution time” is smaller than “minimum execution time”. Therefore, the operation procedure candidate illustrated in FIG. 15 is determined as a correction target (ST152, ST154). Further, in the example of FIG. 15, since there is a confirmation procedure in which the “state value change time” is smaller than the “execution end time”, the confirmation procedure modification process (first modification process) in FIG. In the example of FIG. 15, the “selection” confirmation procedure for “disconnector 1”, the “closed” confirmation procedure for “disconnector 1”, and “ There is a “normal” confirmation procedure for “device 1”.

  As can be seen from the comparison between FIG. 15 and FIG. 20, the “selection” confirmation procedure of “disconnector 1” is determined by the first correction process to be a predetermined position positioned before the confirmation procedure before the first correction process. In the standby procedure (10-second standby procedure before the first correction). In addition, by the first correction process, the “closed” confirmation procedure of “disconnector 1” is a predetermined standby procedure (10 before the first correction process) that is positioned before the confirmation procedure before the first correction process. In the waiting procedure for 2 seconds). Further, in the “normal” confirmation procedure of “device 1”, the confirmation procedure is moved to a stage before the procedure position of the confirmation procedure before the first correction process.

  Note that the 10-second standby process, which is a procedure between the closing setting procedure of the disconnector 1 and the closing setting procedure of the circuit breaker A, is performed by the first correction process. Between the closed setting procedure, the procedure is divided into a plurality of standby procedures (4 seconds standby procedure + 1 second standby procedure + 3 seconds standby procedure), and the total standby time is reduced to 8 seconds. Moreover, in FIG. 20, the waiting time after the closing setting procedure of the circuit breaker A is changed from 2 seconds to 3 seconds.

  In the example of FIG. 15, since the correction process shown in ST155 (FIG. 18) is performed, in ST157, the corrected operation procedure candidate is updated and the simulation execution is re-executed.

  Next, specific processing in step S162 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the operation procedure correcting unit 16 pays attention to the first procedure (for example, the procedure existing in the second row of the lower table of FIG. 15) constituting the operation procedure candidate determined in ST154 or ST158. Of course, since the first procedure exists, the operation procedure modification unit 16 determines that there is a “procedure” in ST180. Thereafter, the operation procedure correcting unit 16 determines whether or not the focused procedure is a “setting procedure” (ST181). When it is determined in ST181 that it is not a “setting procedure” (that is, when the focused procedure is a “confirmation procedure” or a “standby procedure”), the operation procedure correcting unit 16 configures a procedure for configuring an operation procedure candidate in ST185. Advance one line. That is, the focused procedure is advanced from the current procedure to the procedure in the next procedure order. For example, the focused procedure is changed from the procedure existing in the second row of the lower table of FIG. 15 to the procedure existing in the third row. On the other hand, when it determines with it being a "setting procedure" by ST181, the operation procedure correction | amendment part 16 implements the process of ST182.

  In ST <b> 182, the operation procedure correction unit 16 searches for another setting procedure existing in the procedure position before the procedure (setting procedure) currently focused on in the operation procedure candidate determined as the correction target. When the operation procedure correction unit 16 determines in ST183 that there is no other setting procedure, the operation procedure correction unit 16 proceeds to the process of ST185. On the other hand, when the operation procedure correction unit 16 determines in ST183 that there is the other setting procedure, the operation procedure correction unit 16 performs the second correction process in ST184.

  For example, the operation procedure candidate determined as the correction target is the setting procedure that is the first procedure, the standby procedure that is the second procedure, the confirmation procedure that is the third procedure, and the setting that is the fourth procedure. It is assumed that it is configured to include a procedure. Then, it is assumed that the fourth procedure is selected by the process of ST185. In this case, the operation procedure correcting unit 16 searches for the setting procedure that is the first procedure as another setting procedure that is positioned in the order preceding the setting procedure that is the fourth procedure (ST182, ST183). .

  Therefore, the operation procedure correcting unit 16 moves the setting procedure that is the fourth procedure in the operation procedure candidate immediately after the setting procedure that is the first procedure located in the preceding order from the setting procedure. Perform the second correction process. The operation procedure candidates after the second correction process are the setting procedure that was the first procedure before the correction, the setting procedure that was the fourth procedure before the correction, and the second procedure before the correction. The waiting procedure and the confirmation procedure that was the third procedure before the correction are included in this order. As can be seen from the description of the second correction process, the order of the different setting procedures becomes continuous by the second correction process. That is, setting procedures are arranged in a sequential procedure order in the operation procedure candidates after the second correction process.

  And after the said 2nd correction process, the operation procedure correction part 16 implements the process of ST185, and returns to the process of ST180 after that. If the process of ST180 to ST175 is repeated a plurality of times to reach the final procedure of the candidate operation procedure, and the procedure is advanced by one line in ST185, in ST180, the operation procedure correcting unit 16 determines that there is no procedure. It will be. In this case, a series of processes shown in FIG.

  As in the above example, when the correction process shown in ST155 (FIG. 19) is performed, the updated operation procedure candidate and the re-execution of simulation execution are performed in ST157.

  When the first correction process and the second correction process are not performed in FIG. 18 or FIG. 19, as described above, the operation procedure is finally determined by the process of ST159 of FIG.

  As described above, the operation procedure creation apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment performs the first or second correction process of the operation procedure candidate using the simulation execution of the operation procedure candidate and the result after the simulation execution. Yes. Then, in the operation procedure creation apparatus 100, the simulation procedure execution of the candidate operation procedure after the correction process can be repeated at least once after the first or second correction process.

  Therefore, since the procedure correction process using the simulation execution result is repeated at least once, it is possible to create an operation procedure that can be executed in a shorter time that matches the operation of the actual machine. it can.

<Embodiment 2>
FIG. 21 is a configuration diagram showing an operation procedure creation device according to the present embodiment.

  As can be seen from a comparison between FIG. 21 and FIG. 1, the operation procedure creation apparatus 200 according to the present embodiment further includes a correction processing information input unit 30 in addition to the configuration of the operation procedure creation apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment. Has been. Therefore, the configuration other than the correction processing information input unit 30 is the same in both apparatuses 100 and 200.

  In the operation procedure creating apparatus 200, a predetermined designated time is inputted in advance from the outside by the user in the correction processing information input unit 30. Then, the input designated time is set in the operation procedure correction unit 16. As described in the first embodiment, the operation procedure creation apparatus 200 acquires the result of the simulation process performed by the operation procedure modification unit 16 and the simulation execution result obtained by the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 using the modified operation procedure candidates. The process is repeated. Here, in the operation procedure correction unit 16 according to the present embodiment, the completion time of the simulation process according to the operation procedure candidate acquired as a result of the simulation execution in the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 is equal to or less than the specified time. At this point, the correction process is terminated.

  The operation procedure creation apparatus 200 performs a series of flows shown in FIG. 22 instead of the series of processes shown in FIG.

  Assume that the simulation execution result information (operation procedure candidate) illustrated in FIG. 15 is read in ST150 of FIG. In this case, “minimum execution time” is changed to “30 seconds” of “execution time (can be grasped as completion time of the above-mentioned simulation process)” by ST152 and ST153. In ST154, the operation procedure candidate after the change process is determined as a correction target, and in ST155, the process of FIG. 22 is started.

  In this case, the operation procedure correction unit 16 determines whether the “execution time (that is, the“ minimum execution time after the change as described above ”) read in ST150 is equal to or less than the specified time input in advance by the user. It is determined whether or not (ST210). When it is determined that the time is equal to or less than the designated time, the operation procedure correction unit 16 ends the processing of FIG. 22 (ST155) without performing the procedure correction processing. As a result, it is determined in ST156 in FIG. 16 that there is no procedure correction, and in ST159, the operation procedure candidate that has not been subjected to the correction processing is finally determined as the operation procedure. On the other hand, when it is determined that the time is equal to or less than the designated time, the operation procedure correcting unit 16 executes the same flow as that in FIG. 17 (ST160, ST161, ST162).

  As can be seen from the above, in the present embodiment, when the completion time of the simulation process according to the operation procedure candidate acquired as a result of the simulation execution in the operation procedure simulation execution unit 18 is equal to or less than a predetermined time. Then, the procedure correction process is terminated.

  Therefore, in addition to the effects described in the first embodiment, this embodiment can reduce the number of times of simulation execution and the number of correction processes, and can also determine the final operation procedure at an early stage. .

<Embodiment 3>
The operation procedure creation apparatus according to the present embodiment is configured such that the user can determine whether or not to execute the procedure correction process in an interactive manner via the user interface.

  In the present embodiment, the flow of FIG. 23 is performed instead of the flow of FIG. Moreover, the flow of FIG. 24 is implemented instead of the flow of FIG.

  Here, as can be seen from a comparison between FIG. 18 and FIG. 23, the flowchart of FIG. 23 is a process for confirming whether or not the first correction process is performed between ST172 and ST173 in the flowchart of FIG. 18 (ST223). Has been added. Further, as can be seen from a comparison between FIG. 19 and FIG. 24, the flowchart of FIG. 24 includes a process (ST234) for confirming whether the second correction process is performed between ST173 and ST174 in the flowchart of FIG. Have been added.

  Specifically, after the processing of ST170 to ST172 described in FIG. 18 and before the processing of ST173, the operation procedure correction unit 16 displays a user interface that prompts the user to confirm whether the first correction processing may be performed, The data is output to a display unit (not shown) (ST223). Then, it is assumed that an operation is input from the outside (for example, via the correction process information input unit in FIG. 21) that the first correction process may be performed on the user interface. At this time, the operation procedure correction unit 16 executes the first correction process in ST173. On the other hand, it is assumed that the user inputs an operation not to execute the first correction process from the outside (for example, via the correction process information input unit in FIG. 21). At this time, the operation procedure correction unit 16 does not execute the first correction process, and proceeds to the process of ST174. In the process of ST223, the operation procedure correcting unit 16 can display the operation procedure candidates before and after the first correction process on a display unit (not shown) and perform the above confirmation.

  In addition, after the processing of ST180 to ST183 described in FIG. 19 and before the processing of ST184, the operation procedure correction unit 16 illustrates a user interface that prompts the user to confirm whether the second correction processing may be performed. (ST234). Then, it is assumed that an operation is input from the outside (for example, via the correction process information input unit in FIG. 21) that the second correction process may be performed on the user interface. At this time, the operation procedure correction unit 16 executes the second correction process in ST184. On the other hand, it is assumed that the user inputs an operation not to execute the second correction process from the outside (for example, via the correction process information input unit in FIG. 21). At this time, the operation procedure correction unit 16 does not execute the second correction process, and proceeds to the process of ST175. In the process of ST234, the operation procedure correction unit 16 can perform the above confirmation after displaying operation procedure candidates before and after the second correction process on a display unit (not shown).

  In ST223 and ST234, the user can edit the correction position of the procedure from the outside via the user interface (correction processing information input unit 30). In this case, the operation procedure correction unit 16 performs the first or second correction process so that the edited state is obtained.

  As described above, in addition to the effects described in the first embodiment, this embodiment also has an effect that the user can determine whether or not to perform the correction process.

  In the above description, the case has been described in which the interactive procedure correction function described in the present embodiment is added to the operation procedure creation apparatus according to the first embodiment. However, it is naturally possible to adopt a configuration in which the correction procedure confirmation function in the interactive format described in the present embodiment is added to the operation procedure creation apparatus according to the second embodiment.

<Embodiment 4>
The operation procedure creation apparatus according to the present embodiment can preset prohibition information indicating whether or not a correction prohibition procedure prohibits correction processing. In the present embodiment, the operation procedure correction unit 16 confirms the prohibition information and determines whether or not to perform the procedure correction process thereafter.

  The prohibition information can be set in advance for the device procedure information stored in the information storage unit 20, for example, by the user. For example, before the operation procedure candidate creation process in the operation procedure candidate output unit 14 is started, the user selects “breaker A” “selection” confirmation procedure and “shutdown” in the device procedure information shown in FIG. It is assumed that prohibition information for prohibiting procedure correction is set for the “closed” confirmation procedure of “A”. In this case, the operation procedure candidate output unit 14 creates an operation procedure candidate shown in FIG. 25 and stores the operation procedure candidate in the information storage unit 15 in a tabular format.

  FIG. 25 is obtained by adding an item “prohibition of modification” to the information of FIG. 11. Then, as shown in FIG. 25, the operation procedure candidates include, as prohibition information for prohibiting the procedure correction for the “selection” confirmation procedure of “breaker A” and the “closed” confirmation procedure of “breaker A”, “○” is recorded. It should be noted that each procedure to which the “◯” mark is not attached means that the procedure is not a procedure for prohibiting the correction process.

  And in this Embodiment, the flow of FIG. 26 is implemented instead of the flow of FIG. Moreover, the flow of FIG. 27 is implemented instead of the flow of FIG.

  Here, as can be seen from the comparison between FIG. 18 and FIG. 26, the flowchart of FIG. 26 is a process for determining whether or not the procedure is a correction prohibition procedure between ST170 and ST171 in the flowchart of FIG. (ST251) is added. Further, as can be seen from the comparison between FIG. 19 and FIG. 27, the flowchart of FIG. 27 is a process for determining whether or not the procedure is a correction prohibition procedure between ST180 and ST181 in the flowchart of FIG. ST261) has been added.

  Specifically, after the process of ST170 described in FIG. 18 and before the process of ST171, the operation procedure correction unit 16 determines whether or not the currently selected procedure is a correction prohibition procedure based on the prohibition information. (ST251). Assume that it is determined in ST251 that the procedure is a modification prohibition procedure. At this time, the operation procedure correction unit 16 does not perform the first correction process for the procedure, and moves to the process of step ST174. On the other hand, it is assumed that the procedure is determined to be a modification prohibition procedure. At this time, the operation procedure correcting unit 16 performs the process of ST171 transfer as in FIG.

  In addition, after the process of ST180 described in FIG. 19 and before the process of ST181, the operation procedure correcting unit 16 determines whether or not the currently selected procedure is a correction prohibition procedure based on the prohibition information ( ST261). Assume that it is determined in ST261 that the procedure is a modification prohibition procedure. At this time, the operation procedure correction unit 16 does not perform the second correction process for the procedure, and proceeds to the process of step ST185. On the other hand, it is assumed that the procedure is determined to be a modification prohibition procedure. At this time, the operation procedure correction unit 16 performs the process of ST181 transfer as in FIG.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in addition to the effects described in the first embodiment, it is possible to determine that the procedure correction processing is not automatically performed, and it is possible to prevent erroneous correction in the operation procedure candidates.

  In the above description, the case where the correction process presence / absence determination function based on the prohibition information described in the present embodiment is added to the operation procedure creation apparatus according to the first embodiment has been described. However, as a matter of course, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the correction procedure presence / absence determination function based on the prohibition information described in the present embodiment is added to the operation procedure creation apparatus according to the second embodiment.
