Abstract

PURPOSE:To omit a selection control switch corresponding to an equipment by providing a card input device to a control panel together with a card containing the recorded selection contents prepared to each selection control switch and putting a necessary card into the card input device to transmit the read output of the card to a processor. CONSTITUTION:When an operator operates an equipment of a plant 1, the operator first inputs a card 100 containing the written selection information on the subject equipment into a card input device 210. The device 210 decodes the selection information on the card 100 and outputs a selection signal to a processor 300. The processor 300 selects the operating subject equipment based on the received selection signal and at the same time displays the operating subject on a selection display device 220 as a reply to the selection signal. Thus a selection control switch can be omitted since the device 210 is provided to a control panel 200.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an equipment operation panel device for operating equipment arranged in a plant.

[Conventional technology]

A plant equipment operation panel device is provided with a selection operation switch for selecting the equipment to be operated, and a master switch for inputting operation commands such as opening and closing for the equipment selected by this switch. There is. Conventional examples of this equipment operation panel device include, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-2651.
There is one shown in No. 1, and its configuration is as shown in Figure 3. That is, the operation panel 200, the processing device 300
, and a display panel 3, including an operation panel 200.
, at least one selection operation switch 2601 to 260n and three contacts a for each device of the plant 1.

A master switch 230 having switches b and c is provided.

The processing device 300 displays the status of the device selected by the 1 selection operation switch on the display panel 3 to assist in inputting operation commands. In this way, by sharing one display panel for all devices, it becomes unnecessary to install a display means for each device, thereby reducing the size of the operation panel device.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the above-described conventional technology, it is necessary to arrange as many or more selection operation switches as there are devices to be operated on the operation panel portion. Therefore, when there are a large number of devices to be operated, there is a problem in that a large number of selection operation switches must be installed, especially on an operation panel for central monitoring operation. Particularly in recent years, CRTs that use computers as processing devices have become popular.
As operator consoles have become more widespread, operation panel consoles have been positioned as backup operating devices for CRT consoles, and there has been a desire for smaller scales, but there has been a problem in that conventional techniques have not been able to meet this demand.

An object of the present invention is to provide a device operation panel device whose size does not depend on the number of devices to be operated and which has a compact operation panel.

[Means to solve the problem]

The above purpose is to provide a card input device in place of the selection operation switch on the operation panel, prepare a card with the selection contents recorded for each selection operation switch, insert the required card into the card input device, and read and output it. This is achieved by having a configuration in which the information is transmitted to the processing device.

[Effect]

The card for selection operation has selection information written on the operation target using magnetic, optical, electrical, or physical shape methods, and the card input device is equipped with means for decoding the selection information written on the card. The written selection information is sent to the processing device as a selection signal. The processing device selects the device based on this selection signal, and displays the selection on the display if necessary.

According to the above configuration, a selection operation switch corresponding to each device is not required, and one card input device may be installed regardless of the number of target devices, so that the operation panel can be made compact. On the other hand, you only need as many cards as you want, but they can be stored all at once and do not require a lot of space.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be explained below using examples. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which a device operation section 2, a display panel 3
, and a card 100 on which selection information is written. The device operation section 2 includes an operation panel 200.

Consists of a processing device 300, and further includes an operation panel 200.
A card input device 210, a selection display 220, and a master switch 230 are arranged. The master switch 230 consists of three switches a, b, and c, and two of them are used to perform two functions such as starting/stopping and opening/closing the equipment.
The 0 display panel 3 is used to issue position commands and to issue three-position commands such as opening/stopping/closing equipment using three panels.

Equipment status and failure signals from the plant are processed by the processing device 300.
is entered and displayed.

When an operator operates equipment in the plant 1, he first inputs the card 100 on which selection information of the equipment to be operated is written into the card input device 210. The card input device 210 decodes the input selection information of the card 100 and outputs a selection signal to the processing device 300. The processing device 300 selects the device to be operated based on this selection signal, and also displays the selection display 220 in response to the selection signal.
Display the operation target. The operator selects the selection display 22.
After confirming the operation target display 0, the user operates switch a, b, or C of the master switch 230 that matches the operation content.

The processing device 300 receives a signal from a switch operated by an operator as an operation signal, and outputs an operation command corresponding to the operation signal to the previously selected operation target device.

According to this embodiment, instead of a selection switch that increases with the number of target devices, a card input device whose number is not related to the number of target devices is installed on the operation panel. A compact operation panel can be realized.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which an operation panel 200A is added to the panel 200 in FIG.
It has an f-transport type configuration. The processing device 300 is arranged at the electrical room level, and the operation panel 200A includes signal transmission paths 400a to 400n and connectors 500a to 500n.
500n, and is also connected to the processing device 300.
and each plant 18-1n are fixedly connected.

The operator connects the operation panel 200A to the corresponding connector 500a to 50 on the machine side of the plants 18 to 1n.
By connecting to 0n, signal transmission between the processing device 300 and the operation panel 200A becomes possible, and operations similar to those in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 can be performed. At this time, when the processing device 300 selects the operation target according to the input card, in addition to displaying the target on the selection display 220, the state of the operation target or the failure details if the operation target is out of order. is displayed on the display 221 via the processing device 300.

In this manner, by installing the status display device 221 on the operation panel 200A, the status of the target device can be monitored while being operated even when the device is portable.

This embodiment has the advantage that the operation panel can be used as a portable on-site operation panel, and that a plurality of plants can be operated by simply preparing one set of operation panels.

In addition, in the above embodiment, one card is provided for each selection target, but one card has p cards (p is constant).
Alternatively, it is also possible to record fewer selection targets, and to provide p selection operation switches on the operation panel to select one of the selection targets for each card. In this case, if p is a constant number, for example around 2.3, the configuration of the operation panel will not change even if the target becomes large-scale, and by grouping similar selection targets on the same card, it will be possible to select a card. and management can be done efficiently.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, by arranging the card input device on the operation panel, selection operation switches are unnecessary or only need a small number of fixed number, and a compact equipment operation panel device can be realized even in a plant with a large number of target equipment. Moreover, by making the operation panel portable and preparing one portable operation panel and one set of selection cards, it is possible to handle a plurality of plant operations.
