Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to carry out a different performance per type by allowing an information processing device to carry out a control program equivalent to an interface per firing device and selectively starting said control programs with a change over switch. CONSTITUTION:When an indication pushbutton switch 15 indicates TYPE-A of a pilot lamp 14, a device is installed, which is capable of lighting the pilot lamp which displays TYPE-A and recording the type number in a built-in status memory 16. When an information processing device 1 starts its operation, an initial part 17 of a program laid out on a built-in main memory device 9 operates, and reads the type number stored in the status memory 16. Then, a control program load part 18 operates without intermission, and reads a built-in control program 11 from a first outside memory device 7 concerned into the main memory device 9. The control program 11 refers to a program module which controls a first fire device 4 indicated with the change over switch 6.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] In a computer device that controls different types of equipment, a control program is hierarchically divided into a control program part for different types and a common control program part for different types.・After separation.

If the former control program is stored in a small and easily attachable chip memory and can be easily activated by specifying the necessary control program with a changeover switch, etc., then
The maintainability of the program is improved.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 4 is a configuration diagram showing the relationship between each device and the control program holder or control program I211 when controlling the first firing device (4) and the second firing device (5) according to the prior art.

In the case of the first launcher (4) in FIG. 4, the central controller a transmits a certain control signal to the first launcher (4) according to a control program. This control signal is sent to the control device (3) via the multi-signal converter (2) according to a predetermined protocol, and after confirming that this control signal is correct, the control device (3) (4) Gives operation commands based on control signals.

After the first launcher (4) finishes its operation, the control device (3)
) returns a status signal to the information processing device +11. The central controller a1 in the information processing device (11) receives this status signal via the multi-signal converter (2) according to a predetermined protocol, and according to the control program stored in the main storage device (9). Perform confirmation processing.These steps are performed on the console 0 connected to the information processing device (1).
The process is executed sequentially and repeatedly as needed according to the operator's instructions. In the case of the second firing device (5) in Fig. 4, the operation of the device usually differs due to the combination of the two firing devices.

As a result, interfaces such as control signals and status signals will differ somewhat. In this case, it may be necessary to completely change the control program (211).

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Regarding changes in functionality due to differences in launch devices, etc.

There were problems such as the amount of changes in the control program (a) of the information processing device fil in FIG. 4, and the difficulty in expandability and maintenance.

This invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the control program (1) is layered and the first external storage device (71) and the second external storage device (71) shown in FIG. 1 are small and easily detachable. This problem is solved by setting (8) and using changeover switch (6).

[Means to solve the problem]

In Fig. 2, when the instruction button on the changeover switch (6) is pressed to indicate TYPE-A of indicator lamp I, the indicator lamp TYPlii-A lights up and the type number is recorded in the built-in status memory ae. At this time, when the information processing device (1) is started, the initial part +171 of the program located on the internal main memory (9) is activated, and the type number of the status memo IJ (1G) is read. .

The control program load section continues to work, and the internal control program (11) is loaded from the corresponding first external storage device (71).
1 onto the main memory (9). Here, the control program (11) is a program module that controls the first firing device (4) in FIG. 1 instructed by the changeover switch (6).

[Effect]

In this invention, by modularizing the control program and separating it into an external storage device, and by making it possible to start it by specifying it with a changeover switch, improvements in maintenance and expandability can be expected.

Program α3 processes signals sent and received via the conventional control device (3) and signal converter (2), and also processes the corresponding control program set by the changeover switch as necessary. Load processing is performed on the main storage device (9).

FIG. 2 shows an information processing apparatus according to the present invention.

Instruction button α of the newly set changeover switch (6)
9 and the display lamp I indicate TYPE-A, the initial part aη of the program arranged on the main memory device (9) of the information processing device (1) moves.

It is assumed that the type number of the status memory αυ is read, and then the control program load section aS moves and the built-in control program (
111 into the main memory (91).

FIG. 3 is a flow chart of nine embodiments of the present invention. Here, the information processing device (11 is POWER)
ON and na9. It is assumed that each device connected to the information processing device (1) is in an operable state.

With the POVERROM of the information processing device (1), basic software is loaded into the main storage device (9),
All devices become operational. (Step 22) Next 9
Set it in the corresponding device according to the necessity, which is one of the aspects of the present invention. (Step 23) At this time, the display lamp IO is turned on at the same time as the corresponding device.

Write the type number to the 8-bit status signal monitor. For example, TYPF Knee A is 1. TYPE
-B becomes 2, etc. (Step 24) Main memory (9

Initial part (L9 operates, status memory is
Read the type number from. (Step 25) Further, the program in the initial part←η passes the type number data to the control program load part to the mallet, and starts the program in the control program load part a second. The control program load section selects the 1st external storage device (7) or the 2nd external storage device (8) corresponding to the type number data, and loads the control program (111 or 8) stored in either external storage device. stores the control program az in the main memory (

(Steps 26 and 21) Next, the first firing device (4) or the second firing device (5) is controlled by either the control program I or the bFi control program a2 loaded onto the main memory (91). (Steps 28 and 29) The main difference between the control program αB and the control program a2 is that in the former, the control signal sent from the central controller α to the controller (3) is one LOAD signal. whereas the latter is LOA
Two signals are transmitted: the D0NCI signal and the LOAD0ONTINUO8 signal. In response to the LOAD signal, the control device (3) issues a LOAD operation command to the first firing device (4), and then a LOAD completion status signal is sent back from the control device (3) to the central control device. , In response to this, the control program (111) sends the LOAD signal 5TOPs and lifts a single bullet.In the case of continuous firing, the control program (111) that receives the status signal of LOAD completion stops the sending of the LOAD signal. 'l' Continuously transmits without OP.For the LOAD ONC!E signal, after the control device (3) issues a LOAD operation command to the second firing device (5), LOAD 0NCB
A completion status signal is sent back from the control device (3) to the central control device aυ, and in response to this, the control program α2 transmits the LOAD signal 5TOP and fires a single shot.

When continuously lifting bullets, the control program (L sent by Lz)
In response to the OAD C0NT NUOB signal, the control device i31 issues an operation command for continuous lifting to the second firing device (5), and also sends the LOAD0ONT signal.
Engineering N U, the status signals in the OS are sent to the central controller a.
In response to this, the control program α2UO
Maintain the status of ONT engineering NσO8 and load
