Description

  The present invention relates to a display input device that is connected to a control device and performs operation and information display related to a control target device, and an editor device that targets the display input device. The present invention also relates to an abnormality display method, a screen creation method, and a program used in the display input device or the editor device.

  In recent years, PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), which are control devices for controlling devices to be controlled such as factory machines, and display input devices that are connected to the PLC and display information and receive inputs, such as programmable displays, have become widespread. ing. The display input device has a function of displaying an operation status of a control target device connected to the PLC and receiving an operation input for giving a control instruction to the control target device.

  In general, since the display input device has a graphic display function, it can display an operation panel, a switch, an indicator lamp, and the like, and serves as an operation terminal in the device monitoring system. The display input device generates a predetermined pulse wave (for example, a square wave) based on the operation received on the display operation screen, and outputs it to the PLC as a pulse signal.

  In recent years, with the development of network technology, a system for connecting a plurality of display input devices to a network such as a LAN (Local Area Network) and managing the display input devices from a computer such as a PC (Personal Computer) has been put into practical use. Yes. As a result, for example, work contents performed by a worker using a display input device are centrally managed by a database provided in the PC, thereby improving work efficiency.

  Thereby, for example, it is possible to create / edit an operation image to be displayed on the display operation screen in order for the display input device to accept an operation from the user from the editor device. In the editor device, middleware for communicating with the display input device and an application for creating / editing operation images are installed in advance.

  The user transmits the operation image created by the editor device to the display input device. Thus, the display input device can accept an operation using the received operation image. Also, according to the editor device, a program (hereinafter referred to as an “abnormality display program”) for detecting an abnormality occurring in a control target device in the production line of the machine tool system, such as a production device, and displaying it on a display input device (hereinafter referred to as “abnormality display program”) Is possible.

  As a simple method for realizing the abnormality display program, there is a method of displaying a list of information indicating an abnormality occurrence location, for example, address information of an abnormality detection sensor. In this case, the design man-hours can be reduced, but there is a problem that it is difficult for the operator to grasp the sensor position. Therefore, it is desirable to visually display the sensor position using a drawing or the like.

The conventional abnormality display program needs to be implemented by the user as a pre-preparation in order to visually display on the display input device a location where an abnormality has occurred in the control target device.
1. A layout image of a place where an abnormality is predicted to occur is generated by photographing with a digital camera, conversion from CAD (Computer Aided Design) data, or the like.
2. A sensor is installed at a location where an abnormality is predicted to occur with respect to the on-site control target equipment (hereinafter referred to as “abnormality prediction location”).
3. A layout image in which image data such as an icon image for indicating the sensor position (hereinafter referred to as “lamp”) is arranged on the layout image is generated. This generation is performed manually by the user using an editor device.
4). The layout image in which the above arrangement is performed and the management information of the sensor provided in the control target device are linked by the editor device.

  The abnormality display program generated based on the above items displays information from the sensor and the layout image linked to the management information of the sensor when the abnormality occurs in the control target device. Display on the screen. Thereby, the location where the abnormality has occurred is notified to the worker on site.

  However, the above four items need to be performed according to the model of the control target equipment used in the field and the operation mode. Therefore, for example, when the sensor position is changed by changing the product produced by the control target device or when the model of the control target device itself is changed, it is necessary to redo all or part of the above four items. is there.

  In relation to this problem, Patent Document 1 discloses an operation screen creation method for a display input device that allows a user to easily determine a setting item that needs to be changed and easily create a display operation screen. ing.

  In this operation screen creation method, a general-purpose basic screen with reference information undecided or with a predetermined value is created in advance, and data items that need to be set in the reference information are displayed in a list format on the edit screen of the basic screen. indicate. Thus, the user can easily determine the data item that needs to be changed or set.

  Further, the conversion from the basic screen to the display operation screen can be performed with reference to the data group describing the conversion execution procedure. Thereby, the user can easily create a complicated display operation screen.

  Patent Document 2 discloses an editor device that can efficiently use a database and easily share data with an external system. The editor device selects an image block displayed on one editor screen and copies common data in accordance with an operation of copying the image block on the other editor screen.

  Specifically, data common between the display content program and the control procedure program is copied between the display content program file storing the display content program and the control procedure program file storing the control procedure program. As a result, the data stored in one file is copied to the other file. As a result, there is no need to create a common database for a plurality of editor means for displaying a plurality of editor screens.

  However, in the above-described editor device and display input device, it is necessary to redo item 3 and item 4, and in some cases item 1, each time the model of the control target device is changed or the sensor position is changed. Moreover, these correspondences cannot be performed on the display input device, and it is necessary to recreate the abnormality display program using an editor device.

  In addition to the above problem, there has been a problem in that when a layout image is created, the layout image in which data indicating the sensor position is arranged must be converted into a data format and resolution that can be read by the display input device. For this reason, image conversion must be performed every time the image is re-created, which increases the number of work steps.

  Here, a setting screen for the related information registration unit 213 according to an embodiment of the present invention to receive a project data generation instruction from the user will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a setting screen displayed on the display unit 260 immediately after the related information registration unit 213 starts up. On this screen, the related information registration unit 213 can perform the following functions.
a. Project data management b. Acceptance of monitor screen selection c. Layout image reading d. Address list display e. Registration list display f. Import / Export g. Screen conversion

a. Project Data Management Project data in the present embodiment is a collection of folder images for each monitor screen and sensor information files including sensor position information and attribute information, which are grouped in folders. In the present embodiment, the project data name can be arbitrarily set at the time of creation, and the layout image name and sensor information file name are fixed for each monitor screen.

  The monitor screen is for displaying the appearance, sensor position, etc. of the production machine, as shown on the left side of FIG. In the example of FIG. 5, the monitor screen 1 whose screen name is AL0001 is displayed.

  In the present embodiment, the folder name of the folder in which data for displaying the monitor screen 1 is stored is fixed to AL0001, which is the same as the screen name. In addition, layout images included in the folder AL0001 are stored in the IMAG_001. JPEG, sensor information file is DATA_001. Fixed with CSV (see FIG. 3).

  Although not shown, a monitor screen 2 for displaying a production machine different from the monitor screen 1 can be displayed instead of the monitor screen 1 by using the pull-down menu at the upper left of FIG. The screen name of the monitor screen 2 is AL0002. Therefore, the folder name of the folder in which the data for displaying the monitor screen 2 is stored is fixedly set to AL0002, which is the same as the screen name.

  Therefore, the data structure of the project data is a tree structure as shown in FIG. FIG. 3 shows an example in which project data named “VBA” is stored immediately below the C drive of the HDD 240. This project data includes data for displaying three monitor screens AL0001 to AL0003.

Accepting selection of monitor screen When project data is selected by the above operation, the monitor screen registered in the project data can be selected from the “monitor screen” pull-down menu on the upper left of the setting screen. When the user selects a monitor screen, a layout image and a sensor information file associated with the monitor screen are read.

  For example, when the monitor screen 1 is selected, IMAGE — 001.001 stored in the folder AL0001. JPEG and DATA_001. CSV is read. As a result, for example, the setting screen shown in FIG. 5 is displayed. In FIG. 5, the read layout image is displayed on the left side of the setting screen, and a part of the data of the read sensor information file is displayed on the right side of the screen.

c. Reading Layout Image When a new layout image is to be set on the monitor screen selected above, the user designates data for generating a layout image using the “image file” menu at the lower left of the screen.

  When a layout image reading operation is detected, the related information registration unit 213 instructs the drawing registration unit 212 to execute a data conversion process. Receiving this, the drawing registration unit 212 generates a layout image such as a JPEG image from the data specified in the “image file” menu and displays it on the setting screen.

  As a data format that can be specified, for example, CAD data (extension is DWF, DXF, etc.) and digital image data (extension is JPEG, BMP, etc.) are targeted. Note that the CAD data in this embodiment generally refers to all drawing data produced by an editor application installed on a computer or workstation.

  The CAD application stores drawings in the CAD database one file at a time, and also stores information such as graphic symbols, comments, and device-related addresses for each drawing. The device-related address is an address assigned to a device such as a sensor provided in the PLC 300 or the control target device 400 or a blinker.

  Symbols assigned to sensors, blinkers, and the like in drawings created by a CAD application are set according to common agreements with graphical symbols provided in a program language. For example, there are ladder symbols corresponding to addresses such as sensors and blinkers, variables assigned to the marks, and the like. Each drawing constitutes data as a collection of single data formed by combining such graphic symbols.

  From the above, when the data designated by the reading operation is CAD data, the drawing registration unit 212 extracts a device-related address described on the CAD drawing. Then, the coordinate information of the sensor included in the extracted device-related address is corrected according to the size of the layout image after conversion and reflected in the sensor information file. At this time, the three-dimensional coordinate information included in the CAD data may be converted into two-dimensional coordinate information that matches the layout image after conversion.

d. The address list display related information registration unit 213 reads out the address information of the sensor arranged on the monitor screen from the sensor information file included in the read project data, and displays it on the “address list”.

  The address information includes a sensor ID, a sensor address, and a comment. When the user inputs a value in the “device” field and “number” field at the upper right of the setting screen and presses the display button, the specified number of addresses are displayed starting from the specified device. Note that the address list is read with continuous addresses.

e. The registration list display related information registration unit 213 displays, in the “registration list”, sensor registration information selected from the above address list and registered as a lamp (described later). The registration information includes a lamp ID, a sensor address, coordinate information, and the like. When the user selects a registered item, the attribute information of the selected item is displayed and can be edited.

f. Import / Export The registration information displayed in the above “registration list” is saved as file data by pressing the “export” button. When the “Import” button is pressed, the file data is read and the registration information included in the file data is displayed in the “registration list”.

g. The screen conversion user can specify the model number of the programmable display device 100 from the “screen conversion” pull-down menu. When the model number is designated, the related information registration unit 213 reads the resolution that can be displayed by the designated programmable display device 100. Then, the size of the layout image is adjusted according to the read resolution.

When the size adjustment is performed, the related information registration unit 213 uses the sensor information file extracted from the CAD data or the sensor coordinate information included in the sensor information file set by the user as the size of the adjusted layout image. Correct according to.
<4. Sensor registration>

  The user can register a sensor for the layout image read on the setting screen. This sensor registration method will be described with reference to the screen diagram of FIG.

  In this screen, the related information registration unit 213 performs an operation in which the user drags and drops a predetermined address from the address list (= broken line arrow in the figure) and places a lamp (= circle in the figure) on the layout image. Accept. The lamp is a mark image for visually indicating the sensor position on the layout image. When the arrangement is performed, an attribute window is displayed and setting / changing of attribute information is accepted.

  FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of the attribute window. In the attribute window, it is possible to set attribute information such as lamp ID, comment, monitoring address, sensor display color, presence / absence of sub-window display, which are automatically assigned to the arranged lamps.

  The monitoring address can be changed to an address other than that specified in the address list. As the lamp ID, a non-overlapping ID can be designated. When the sub window display is set to “Yes”, the window number can be specified.

When the attribute is set as described above and the “Register” button is pressed, the set contents are reflected and the attribute window is deleted from the screen. Note that the lamps arranged as described above can be moved by a mouse or the like connected to the PC 200. In addition, double-clicking on an already placed lamp or an item in the registration list displays the attribute window again, allowing the attribute to be changed.
<5. Editor screen>
Here, an editor screen displayed on the display unit 260 by the editor unit 211 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the screen diagram of FIG.

  On this screen, the user can read the project data stored in the memory card α and reflect it on a display operation screen created by the user in advance using the editor unit 211, such as an operation panel screen.

  The editor unit 211 generates a display control program for displaying a display operation screen on which the programmable display 100 performs the following processing based on the operation received on this screen.

a. A lamp indicating the state of the sensor is displayed on the display processing layout image of the abnormality occurrence location. Further, when the user touches the lamp with the touch panel 160, the sub window is displayed. In addition, a comment of the sensor corresponding to the touched lamp is displayed.

On this screen, the display control unit 111 displays a lamp to indicate the position of the sensor that has detected the occurrence of an abnormality. In the example of FIG. 9, a plurality of circles in the drawing indicate lamps.

  The lamp display is performed by reading the project data corresponding to the monitor screen being displayed from the project data generated by the related information registration unit 213 and recorded in the memory card α, and on the displayed layout screen. This is done by referring to the sensor position.

  In this screen, the setting information changing unit 113 accepts a change in lamp position and a change in attribute information. For example, an operation of touching the screen of the programmable display 100 is received by the touch panel 160. When the touch is performed, the position is indicated by a cross image as shown in FIG. The setting information changing unit 113 receives an operation for moving the cross image.

  When the movement operation is detected, the position of the cross image after the movement is acquired as the lamp position after the change. In addition to changing the position, the attribute information may be changed by displaying an attribute window indicating the attribute information of the sensor corresponding to the lamp.

The setting information changing unit 113 that has received the lamp position or attribute information changing operation reflects the received content in the project data recorded in the memory card α.

  After the start of this process, the related information registration unit 213 reads the designated CAD data in step S110. Further, in step S120, the related information registration unit 213 instructs the drawing registration unit 212 to generate a digital image of a predetermined compression method, for example, a JPEG image from the CAD data (= drawing registration step).

  Upon receiving this instruction, the drawing registration unit 212 extracts the coordinate information of the sensor from the device-related address included in the CAD data in step S130. Note that no extraction is performed if the CAD data does not include a device-related address.

  Next, in step S140, the related information registration unit 213 receives various setting instructions such as a sensor registration instruction and an attribute information change instruction on the setting screen shown in FIG. 5 (= related information registration step). Next, in step S150, the related information registration unit 213 determines whether or not an instruction to save the project data generated based on the various setting instructions is detected.

  If not detected, the process proceeds to step S170 described later. If detected, the related information registration unit 213 stores the project data in the memory card α and the like in step S160.

Next, in step S170, the related information registration unit 213 determines whether a start / stop instruction to the related information registration unit 213, that is, an application termination instruction is detected. If an end instruction is detected, this process ends. If an end instruction has not been detected, the process proceeds to step S140 again, and various setting instructions are continuously received.
<8. Processing flow of display input device>

  Here, the processing flow of the change processing of the sensor position and the attribute information performed by the programmable display device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  The processing flow shown in FIG. 12 is started when the setting information changing unit 113 is in the activated state and receives an instruction for reading a display operation screen for changing the sensor position and attribute information from the touch panel 160 or the like.

  After the start of this process, in step S210, the setting information changing unit 113 displays a designated display operation screen, for example, a display operation screen in which an abnormality occurrence point is indicated by a lamp as shown in FIG. 9 (= display step). . Further, in step S220, the setting information changing unit 113 receives the change contents of the sensor position and attribute information by displaying a cross image, as shown in FIG.

  Next, in step S230, the setting information changing unit 113 determines whether or not an instruction for saving the received change content in the project data is detected. If not detected, the process proceeds to step S250 described later. If detected, the setting information changing unit 113 reflects the changed contents on the corresponding project data recorded in the memory card α in step S240 (= setting information changing step).

  Next, in step S240, the related information registration unit 213 determines whether an instruction to end the change acceptance process performed by the setting information change unit 113 is detected. If the end instruction is not detected, the process proceeds to step S220 again, and the above change instruction is continuously received. If an end instruction is detected, this process ends.

  According to the present embodiment described above, the position of the sensor provided in the control target device 400 is registered using the project data including the layout image, the coordinate information, and the attribute information. Based on the project data, the abnormality occurrence location of the control target device 400 is visually displayed on the programmable display 100. For this reason, an operator can grasp | ascertain correctly the abnormal location of the control object apparatus 400, and the recovery time at the time of abnormality can be shortened.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the layout image and the sensor information file are individually generated and managed. For this reason, it is not necessary to recreate the layout image using the editor each time the model of the control target device 400 is changed or added. For this reason, the monitor screen displayed on the programmable display device 100 can be easily changed. Also, by separating the layout image and the sensor information file, setting registration can be performed even if the user has no knowledge of drawing without affecting other monitor screens.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the contents of the project data can be changed on the touch panel 160 of the programmable display device 100. As a result, when there is a change in the sensor position or the like at the work site, the display control program can be handled at the site without being recreated by the PC 200.

  According to the present embodiment, the project data is recorded on the memory card α. For this reason, the programmable display 100 does not need to acquire these information via LAN500 grade | etc.,. For this reason, it is advantageous in a system with a small amount of information transfer or a system with a low processing capability of the information processing terminal. In addition, the present invention can be carried out even at a work site that is physically separated from the LAN 500 or a work site where a relatively large high-performance information processing apparatus cannot be brought in.
