Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain rewrite and printout from an input terminal equipment by storing position information of a scan point and fault message information and referencing the information in the occurrence of a fault. CONSTITUTION:A central processing unit 1 writes position information of each scan point and a fault message corresponding to an address to a storage device 2. At first the processing unit 1 monitors each scan point and detects the position when an alarm is raised to reference the storage device 2. Then fault message information corresponding to the detected position information is extracted and the content of the fault message is printed out from a printer 4. Then the storage device 2 is rewritten freely by using a command from an input terminal 3 to output a fault message to an external printer. Thus, the rewrite and printout from the terminal equipment 3 are attained and concrete information in response to the actual status of the exchange station is stored in the storage device 2.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an alarm printing method for a storage program controlled electronic exchange, and particularly to an alarm printing method corresponding to scan points.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, fault message information that is printed when a fault is detected at a scan point where the operating status of an electronic exchange is monitored is written as data in a software program of the electronic exchange. Therefore, when a fault is detected at a scan point, a fixed fault message is always printed on an output terminal such as a printer unless the software program is changed.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

As mentioned above, in the conventional alarm printing method, the fault message corresponding to the scan point is fixed. Instead of just calling the door alarm that indicates the failure situation a "door alarm," it is easy to have specific information in advance in the software program that corresponds to the actual situation of the exchange, such as the "east side door alarm J." Furthermore, it is difficult to change the contents of the fault message information, and it is also difficult to change the corresponding software program in a timely manner as scan points are added or deleted.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an alarm printing method that allows the content of a failure message corresponding to a scan point to be rewritten and printed from an input terminal.

[Means to solve the problem]

The alarm printing method of the present invention prints a fault message when a fault is detected at a scan point where the operating status of an electronic exchange is monitored. The message information is stored in a storage means, and when a fault is detected in the scan point, the storage means is referred to, and the previously stored fault message information is retrieved and printed.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram for explaining an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a program flowchart showing the flow of processing in an embodiment of the present invention.

The alarm printing method shown in FIG. 1 includes a central processing unit 1,
A storage device 2 connected to the central processing unit 1 and storing scan point position information and failure message information, a terminal 3 through which a maintenance person inputs predetermined scan point position information and failure message information, and a terminal 3 connected to the central processing unit 1 to store scan point position information and failure message information; When detected, the central processing unit 1 processes the message to print the corresponding message.

First, the maintenance personnel must first obtain the location information of each scan point where the operating status of the electronic exchange is being monitored and the fault message information corresponding to that location, for example, indicating that the entrance/exit door on the east side of the exchange is at fault. Specific information corresponding to the actual situation of the exchange, such as "east side door alarm", is input from the terminal 3. The central processing unit 1 stores the corresponding fault message in the storage device 2 using the location information as an address.
Write to.

Next, the operation of the alarm printing method of this embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, the central processing unit 1 monitors each scan point to determine whether an alarm has occurred (step 10), and if an alarm has occurred, detects its position (step 10). 11). Next, the central processing unit 1 refers to the storage device 2, retrieves fault message information corresponding to the detected position information from the storage device 2 (step 12), and causes the printer 4 to print the contents of the fault message (step 12). 13). If no alarm has occurred, the operation is terminated.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention allows a storage device that stores the contents of a fault message corresponding to a scan point to be freely rewritten based on commands from an input terminal by a maintenance person, and to output the fault message to an external printing device. This has the effect of providing alarm printing that can correspond to specific failure messages used in exchanges.
