(Function) According to such a configuration, it is possible to automate the creation work of this fI expanded connection diagram, reduce time and labor, and reduce costs.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a block diagram conceptually showing the configuration of the apparatus of the present invention.

From a hardware point of view, this device is composed of a so-called personal computer, but from a functional point of view, it consists of an input section 9. Control unit 10. Storage section 11 and output section 12
It is composed of.

The input section 9 is composed of a keyboard, a mouse, etc., and is capable of arbitrarily inputting each display symbol from the completed development F & continuation diagram.

The tI11 control unit 10 includes a contact point instruction information extraction unit 101. Device number comparison unit 102. It is composed of a contact type division section 103 and a terminal number combination 811104.

The storage unit 11 is composed of a semiconductor memory, a magnetic memory, etc. provided in the basic regulator, and can be arbitrarily written and read.

The output/g112 consists of a CRT and a double scanning type printer, etc., and as described below, an expanded connection diagram 13 with a contact instruction table is provided.
can be displayed or printed.

Next, 11 operations of this device will be systematically explained with reference to the drawings of FIGS. 2 to 9.

First, the operator uses the numeric keypad, mouse, etc. constituting the input section 9 to input each display symbol from the completed exhibition room connection.

Note that the development of the expanded connection diagram itself is the same as before, and the displayed symbols of L in the expanded connection diagram are the aforementioned relay coil, make contact, and break contact.

This means transfer contacts, pilot lamps, etc.

In other words, the input unit 9 inputs expanded connection diagram information, which describes the components of the relay expanded connection diagram over multiple sheets, such as coils and contacts, using their device numbers, device types, terminal numbers, sheet numbers, and display positions, as original diagram information. This is what you input.

When the input of the original diagram information is completed in this manner, the process of creating an expanded connection diagram with a contact point instruction table is then performed according to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the contact point instruction information extraction unit 101 sequentially searches the input original drawing information to extract only relay related information, and furthermore, the extracted relay relationship f? ' Extract only contact point instruction information from I+g.

Now, if the original drawing information is as shown in Figure 3, the contact instruction information tab will be extracted for the device number, contact type, terminal number, sheet, and display position, as shown in Figure 4. (Step 201).

When the extraction of the contact point instruction information is completed in this manner, the device number comparison unit 102 sorts and organizes the extracted contact point instruction information by device number (step 202).

To explain this using the example of Fig. 4, the reference numeral 14.15 in the figure
．． The information regarding the device numbers distributed in 16 is organized in - places, as shown by the reference numeral 17 in FIG.

Once the sorting by device number is completed in this way, the contact type division section 103 further divides and organizes the contact instruction information sorted by device number in the above process into contact type units ( Step 203).

To explain this using the example of FIG. 5, the contact instruction information regarding the device number indicated by 17 in the figure is organized by contact type, A, and B, as indicated by 18 in FIG. and is memorized.

Once the division and arrangement in units of contact types is completed in this way, the terminal number combination unit 104 edits the contact instruction information by combining terminal numbers of the same contact type (step 204).

To explain this using the example of FIG. 6, the contact instruction information organized by contact type, indicated by the reference numeral 18 in the figure, is the contact instruction information related to the device number, as shown by the square mark @1 in FIG. It is edited in the form of a table.

The terminal number combination unit 104 also uses the contact instruction table information edited together with the sheet number where the coil related to the contact is displayed and the display position close to the coil display position within the sheet. The information is added and the contact instruction table is inserted.

Next, the output unit 12 prints out a developed connection diagram with contact instruction table 13 based on the previously input developed connection diagram information that is the original drawing and the contact instruction table information to which the sheet number and display position are attached. Or display it.

To explain this using the example of FIG. 7, device numbers a, b
, c are inserted in the corresponding sheet directly below and close to each device a, b, c, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, respectively.

In other words, the contact instruction table corresponding to device number 19 in FIG. Rune is No.1.

As described above, according to the device of this embodiment, the work of inserting a contact point instruction table, which was traditionally done manually, can be done completely automatically by simply inputting the original drawing information, which saves a lot of time and effort. This eliminates the need for the contact calling work that required 1711 connection diagrams, making it possible to reduce the complexity and cost of this type of connection diagram creation work.

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, it is possible to completely automate the creation of expanded connection diagrams with contact indication tables, which was conventionally done manually, thereby reducing labor and costs. It is possible to go down.
