JP5629547B2 - Monitoring equipment for plant equipment - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a monitoring control device that monitors the operating state of plant equipment using an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse and a display device.

  In various plants such as water and sewage equipment plants, an operator performs daily monitoring, operation, and maintenance inspection of equipment using a monitoring control device. In this case, monitoring of equipment can be judged from status signals, failure signals, etc. that are automatically input from the plant by sensors, but work information such as inspection / maintenance is not monitored by the monitoring controller because there is no signal input to the plant. It cannot be displayed automatically. As a function to compensate for this, a contact method using a sticky note is used on the plant monitoring screen in the display device of the monitoring control device.

  The sticky note is implemented by pasting a sentence summarizing the main points as a digital image in the vicinity of the corresponding device display section on each screen of the plant monitoring screen. With this sticky note, it is possible to indicate the state of the equipment to a plurality of operators involved in the plant operation and share information on the current plant operation state.

  However, when sticky notes are used, there is a possibility that device management may be performed while the expiration date of the sticky notes pasted on the plant monitoring screen has passed. The sticky note is basically not removed from the plant monitoring screen unless the operator who created and pasted it makes a decision. The operator who created the sticky note tends to forget to remove the sticky note whose expiration date has passed unless the sticky note attached on the plant monitoring screen enters his field of view. When sticky notes are used in this way, it is necessary to improve the situation in which inspection and maintenance are continued according to sticky notes that have expired after the expiration date.

  In addition, the plant usually includes equipment that requires schedule management. Important equipment such as the main engine is operated by automatic control, while minor equipment is manually operated by the operator. When scheduled operation is required for these devices, the operation is performed based on the operator's judgment, but there is no timer or scheduler that can be easily set as a function of the monitoring control device. Therefore, a simple operation support means is necessary for the operator's plant operation support.

  In Patent Document 1, instead of a sticky note, a pop window can be automatically displayed and automatically deleted by setting a time in advance. Patent Document 2 discloses a monitoring control device that displays memo information created by an operator on an arbitrary system monitoring screen. The memo information has attribute information related to an arbitrary system monitoring screen, and the display device displays the memo information on the system monitoring screen having the attribute information. Memo information is displayed so as not to be overlooked by voice data, blinking, or the like.

  Using a sticky note makes it easier to call attention on the monitoring and control device screen, but only the creator's operator can determine the expiration date of the sticky note message, and if a screen with a sticky note is not displayed Don't notice sticky notes that have expired. Although it is possible to automatically remove the sticky notes, removing them in situations not intended by the creator is rather risky. Accordingly, there is a need for means for appropriately notifying the creator of the expiration date of the sticky note.

  The reason for forgetting to remove a sticky note whose expiration date has passed is that if the sticky note is out of the operator's field of view, the attention to the sticky note is reduced. If the plant monitoring screen with sticky notes is always displayed, it will be processed properly, but equipment monitoring will cover a wide area, so there will be tens to hundreds of plant monitoring screens as equipment screens. It is difficult to memorize the location of the plant monitoring screen with a sticky note and the contents of the sticky note.

  Moreover, schedule management is required for facility operation. Schedule management is planned by the manager in charge and is thoroughly communicated to the operator through oral communication, etc., but oral communication is often forgotten.

  When a full-fledged management function such as a schedule management table is provided, the creator tends to input in detail, and as a result, it takes time to input, and it is inevitable that the frequency of use will decrease due to troublesomeness. There is a high possibility that it will not be used. Therefore, if there is a simple schedule management means close to the user, schedule management by that means can be taken in.

  The present invention inputs a plant information management unit that processes plant information input from a plant device, a display device that displays a plant monitoring screen of plant equipment, and information on sticky notes that an operator pastes on the plant monitoring screen. In the monitoring control device for plant equipment having an input device, the monitoring control device has a time management unit and a sticky note definition storage memory for storing sticky note information including the expiration date of the sticky note. The operator is notified of the removal of the sticky note when the time limit has passed.

  Further, the plant equipment monitoring control device further comprises a screen display manager for attaching a sticky note on the plant monitoring screen of the display device based on the information in the plant information management unit and the sticky note definition storage memory. And

  In addition, in the plant equipment monitoring and control device, the sticky note information outputs a sticky note number, a sticky note message, a plant monitoring screen number to which the sticky note is pasted, and an alarm when the sticky note expires. It has an alarm occurrence time and an alarm type.

  Further, in the plant facility monitoring and control apparatus, the alarm is notified to an operator using voice information.

  In the plant facility monitoring and control apparatus, the alarm is performed by blinking a sticky note on the plant monitoring screen.

  In the plant facility monitoring and control apparatus, the display device has an alarm display screen for displaying information on a sticky note whose expiration date has passed.

  In the plant facility monitoring and control apparatus, the alarm is performed by blinking an alarm display screen on the plant monitoring screen.

  Further, in the plant facility monitoring control apparatus, the sticky note information includes ID information of an operator who created the sticky note, and the sticky note created by the operator is displayed based on the ID information. .

  Further, the plant equipment monitoring and control device automatically displays a plant monitoring screen to which a sticky note whose expiration date has passed is pasted.

  Furthermore, in the plant equipment monitoring and control apparatus, the sticky note information includes a plant equipment management schedule.

  The present invention is a plant facility monitoring control apparatus comprising a plant information management unit, a display device for displaying a plant monitoring screen, and an input device for inputting information on a sticky note affixed by an operator on the plant monitoring screen. It has a time management unit and a sticky note definition storage memory for storing sticky note information including the expiration date of the sticky note, and when the expiration date of the sticky note expires, the contents of the sticky note whose expiration date has passed are visually By making an audible notification to the operator and re-recognizing it, the sticky note can be reliably removed.

  Furthermore, since sticky notes are used as they are for schedule management, the main points are simply described, and schedule information can be re-recognized visually and audibly, and simple schedule management of plant facilities is possible with sticky notes.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram of a monitoring control device. The monitoring control device 100 includes a display device 101. 101a is an alarm display screen on the screen of the display device 101, and 101b is an arbitrary plant monitoring screen. Reference numeral 102 denotes a sticky note affixed on the system monitoring screen 101b. An equipment state signal is taken in from the plant apparatus 108 to the controller 106 via the I / O 107, and information is collected periodically. The network 105 and the monitoring control device 100 are physically connected, and the plant information processed by the plant information management unit 104 is analyzed. Using this result, the screen display manager 103 displays the state of the plant device 108 on the display device 101.

  In addition to the plant information, the sticky note setting information input by the operator from the keyboard 111 as an input device is written to the sticky note definition storage memory 109 via the input processing unit 110. The screen display manager 103 compares the information stored in the sticky note definition storage memory 109 with the current time output from the time management unit 112 and performs processing for displaying on the display device 101.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration related to the control of the sticky note 102 in the monitoring control apparatus 100. The information recorded in the sticky note definition file 203 stored in the sticky note definition storage memory 109 in FIG. 1 includes a sticky note number 204, a screen number 205 to which a sticky note is pasted, a message number 206 input with a sticky note, and a voice. Is composed of a chime presence / absence 207 related to external ringing and a chime external output setting time 208. Similarly, the message number 206 is linked to the message definition text file 209 stored in the sticky note definition storage memory 109, and the message definition text file 209 includes the message number 210 and the message 211 input to the sticky note.

  Here, since the sticky note paper is directly used for schedule management, the management schedule information of the plant equipment can be added to the information recorded in the sticky note definition file 203. In this case, the essential points of schedule management are simply described, and schedule information can be re-recognized visually or audibly, and simple schedule management of plant facilities is possible with sticky notes.

  The monitoring and control device 100 displays a message on the display device 101 when the set time is reached by the sticky note definition file 203, the message definition text file 209, and the message management unit 213 that determines whether or not a message is output from the time management unit 112. . Similar to the message management unit 213, the chime management unit 215 outputs a chime output 216 to an external speaker when the set time is reached.

  FIG. 3 shows a sticky note setting screen 301 on the display device 101. Information related to a necessary work situation or the like is input into the display area 302 by characters. A notification chime setting area 303 is provided in the setting item of the sticky note editor so that the external output time of the sticky note alarm information can be set. In other words, the posting expiration date of the sticky note information is set as the external output time, and when the expiration date expires and the sticky note information becomes invalid, an alarm is issued to prompt the operator who created the sticky note to remove the sticky note . For example, if a sticky note is left stuck even after the work is completed, system management is performed based on erroneous information, and there is a possibility that appropriate and efficient control cannot be performed.

  The external output time may be selectable from a pull-down menu. A check box 304 is input when displaying sticky notes on all clients (operators). Reference numeral 305 denotes a check box for outputting a notification chime. When the check box 305 is checked, the chime function is enabled.

  FIG. 4 shows a message 401 output to the display device 101 of the monitoring control device. This is a message displayed on the alarm display screen 101a on the plant monitoring screen of the display device 101 in FIGS. The contents of the message 401 are blinking display, color identification display, etc., eye catch 402, sticky note number 403, alarm chime alarm time 404 set in FIG. 3, alarm type 405, sticky note pasting screen number 406, And a sticky note message 407.

  In the monitoring and control apparatus, instead of the message displayed on the alarm display screen 101a on the plant monitoring screen of the display device 101, a plant monitoring screen to which a sticky note whose expiration date has passed can be automatically displayed. In this case, it is possible to save the operator from switching to the corresponding plant monitoring screen by sequentially displaying the corresponding screens.

  In the message 401, ID information of the operator who created the sticky note can be added. As a result, it is possible to display only sticky note information relating to a specific operator, and when the operator inputs his / her ID into the system, it is possible to check only information relating to his / her own sticky note.

  The eye-catching message starts blinking when an alarm occurs, that is, when the message expiration date is reached, and turns on when blinking is stopped. The message is deleted when the display is restored when the message is lit.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a sticky note setting process procedure. When creating a sticky note, a creation screen is displayed in step S501, and a notification chime time setting is input in step S502. If the check in the notification check box in S503 is checked, the process proceeds to S504, and when the set time is reached, message output, chime ringing and flickering (flashing) of sticky notes are performed. If the check in the notification check box is not checked, the process proceeds to S505, and the processing for the sticky note is not performed.

  In the alarm stop process by the operator in S506, if the client alarm is stopped, the process proceeds to S507 to stop the chime ringing (alarm), and if the client alarm is not stopped, the process proceeds to S508 and the chime is stopped by the automatic timer. Next, in the client blinking stop process by the operator in S509, if the client blinking is stopped, the process proceeds to S510 and the sticky note blinking is stopped. Continue. About the stop of blinking, it is up to the operator's judgment to continue the alerting.
