Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve visibility and to prevent the generation of missetting by using a state monitoring picture for monitoring the state of an apparatus as a state setting picture for applying a control instruction. CONSTITUTION:A display part 13 is usually held at a monitoring state. When an operator applies a control command from an input part 12 in order to change the state of a certain apparatus being displayed on the display part 13, a control part 11 holds the state of the apparatus at the time of inputting the command. Only the apparatus receiving the setting request is changed at its display state and flickering indicating the set state is started. Thereafter, the operator successively inputs the set data from the input part 12 while observing the display part 13 under said state, and at the time of ending the setting, outputs an output request from the input part 12. Then, the control part 11 transfers the state from the set state to a monitoring state to start the state monitoring again.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a status monitoring control device that graphically displays the status of equipment on a CRT screen, and particularly to a method for setting the status of equipment in such an equipment.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in this type of condition monitoring control device, the condition of each device is monitored on a monitoring screen, and the condition of each device is usually set using a predetermined command.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, with this method, it is difficult to change the status of many devices at once, and there is a high possibility of erroneous operation, especially when using methods with poor visibility such as inputting commands.
There is a problem.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a status setting method that allows setting and changing the status of many devices at once and that is highly visible.

[Means to solve the problem]

By giving a predetermined control instruction from the input means to the control means, the monitoring screen is switched to a status setting screen, and the status of each device can be set using this screen.

[Effect]

By using the status monitoring screen for monitoring the status of the device as the status setting screen for giving control instructions, visibility is improved and erroneous settings are prevented.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing an embodiment of the invention, and FIG.
The figure is a block diagram showing a state monitoring control device to which the present invention is applied, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an example of a display screen.

First, explanation will be given starting from FIG. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a supervisory control device, which includes a control unit 11 that performs various controls, an input unit 12 that inputs data for the operator to control the status of the equipment, and an input unit 12 that displays the current status of the equipment and displays the settings. It is comprised of a display section 13 for displaying the setting status of the device, an interface section 14 that controls the interface between the monitoring control target device 2 and the control section 11, and the like.

FIG. 1 shows the operation of this monitoring and control device. Normally, it is in a monitoring state, and the display unit 13 shows a display as shown in FIG. 3, for example, showing valves AV, pumps TPI, TP2. D
The states of PI to DP3, etc. are represented by different colors or shapes. The current values of numerical values are also shown.

Here, when the operator issues some kind of control command from the input unit 12 in order to change the state of the equipment being displayed on the display unit 13 (see ■), the control unit 11 assumes that the operator has given a setting instruction. On the other hand, the display section 13 maintains the state of the device at the time when the setting input is made to the input section 12.

At this time, only the device for which the setting has been requested from the input unit 12 changes its display state and starts blinking to indicate that the setting has been made (see ■ and ■). Thereafter, in this state, the operator inputs setting data one after another from the input section 12 while looking at the display section 13 (see ■ and ■). When the operator issues an output request from the input unit 12 to finish the setting (
(see ■), the control unit 11 checks whether it is possible to transition from the current state to the state according to the setting request (see ■, ■),
- When the transition is possible, after outputting a control command to device 2, the state is shifted from the setting state to the monitoring state, and state monitoring starts again (see [phase], ■). On the other hand, if the state cannot be changed in step (■), the operator is notified of the abnormality via the display unit 13, and then the state transitions to the monitoring state (■
, see ■).

In this way, since it is possible to set the equipment while looking at the west side, it is possible to make many equipment settings at the same time without making any mistakes.

[Effects of the Invention] - According to the present invention, the monitoring screen can be switched to the status setting screen and equipment settings can be made using this screen, so visibility is not only improved compared to the conventional one, but also The advantage is that many equipment settings can be made incorrectly.
