Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the omission of the recording of a stoppage reason for a stoppage reason input request from the title monitoring system without interrupting work by always carrying an input part with an operator and immediately inputting and recording the stoppage reason in an arbitrary place. CONSTITUTION:A monitoring device 2 reads an operation stopped signal (a) of an equipment from a sequencer 1 and sends a stoppage reason input request signal (b) to an operation managing device 3 according to the change of the signal (a). A controller 6 operates an indicator 7 such as a buzzer and a lamp according to the signal (b) and requests an operator to input the stoppage reason. The operator confirms the indicator 7 and inputs the stoppage reason to an input part 12. The input signal is inputted to a push button 5 and a microphone 8 and sent through a transmitter 9, antennas 14 and 14', and a receiver 10 to a signal processor 11. The input signal is compared with a previously stored stoppage reason signal pattern in the processor 11, and when the signal coincides with the pattern, the number of the pattern is sent to the device 6. The device 6 records the number from the processor 11, a stopped time of day, and stopped time, sends a stoppage reason recording completion signal (c) to the device 2, and completes its operation.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an operation management device for a monitoring system that performs failure diagnosis, abnormality notification, etc. of production equipment.

BACKGROUND ART FIG. 2 shows the configuration of an operation management device of a conventional monitoring system. The sequencer 1 that controls the production equipment controls connected external equipment, and the operating status of the equipment can also be recorded by the sequencer alone.

However, the reason for the stoppage is determined by the operator each time.
This cannot be managed unless it is recorded on a recording sheet along with the stop time.

Since recording the reason for the stoppage interrupts the operator's work, there is a demand for recording the reason for the stoppage in a short period of time. For this reason, there is a method of recording the reason for the stoppage by pressing the pushboat 5 corresponding to the item of the reason for the stoppage in advance in response to an input request from the operation management device 3.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above method, recording is not possible unless the pushboat 5 is pressed between the occurrence of one stop reason input request and the occurrence of the next stop reason input request. Furthermore, when the operator is away from the location where the pushboat 5 is installed, he has to move each time, and there is a problem in that he cannot record without interrupting his work.

The present invention aims to solve the above problems.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an operation management device that starts operation based on an input signal from a production facility in response to a request signal from a monitoring system of the facility. a display unit for notifying an input request signal to an operator; a transmitter for transmitting an input signal from the operator;
A receiver for receiving the input signal, and a means for comparing the received signal with a pre-stored signal pattern and recording a number corresponding to a matching signal pattern together with the current time. be.

Operation The present invention uses the above means to allow the operator to carry the input unit 12 at all times and immediately input and record the reason for the stop at any location.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, the same reference numerals as in FIG. 2 indicate the same or corresponding parts.

The monitoring device 2 reads the operation/stop signal a of the sequencer 1 and other equipment, and sends a stop reason input request signal S to the operation management device 3 in accordance with changes in the signal. The control device 6 operates a display 7 such as a buzzer or a lamp in response to the stop reason input request signal to prompt the operator to input the stop reason. After confirming the stop reason input request on the display 7, the operator inputs the stop reason into the input section 12.

The input signal is sent to the signal processor 11 through the transmitter 9, the antennas 14 and 14', and the receiver 10 by pressing the pushboat 5 or inputting voice to the microphone 8. The signal processor 11 compares the pre-stored signal pattern of the reason for stopping with the pattern of the input signal, and sends the number corresponding to the matching signal pattern to the control device 6. The control device 6 records the number from the signal processor 11, the stop time, and the stop time, and sends a recording end signal C indicating the reason for the stop to the monitoring device 2, and the series of operations ends.

In the embodiment described above, the microphone 8 is attached to the operator's head or to the cover of his work clothes, so that both hands can be kept free at all times. Further, depending on the work situation, a wired transmitter and receiver may be used instead of the wireless transmitter 9 and receiver 10.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, by allowing the operator to carry the input section 12 of the operation management device 30 at all times, the operator can respond to a stop reason input request from the monitoring system even if the operator is at any location. The reason for the stoppage can be entered immediately without interrupting work, and it is possible to prevent omissions in recording the reason for the stoppage, which is necessary for equipment operation management.
