Abstract

PURPOSE:To recognize a specific file content generated in the past by using a file name registration table so as to designate a file to be loaded to a specific station in advance thereby ensuring the loading to a database. CONSTITUTION:When the operator designates a number of a station 30, a data setting device expands a file name of the designated station 30. The recording is implemented by using a file name key entry 14 to keyenter a file name to each column of a file name registration table 12. A load means 20 loads a file 10 having a file name stored in the table 12 to a relevant station 30 in the lump. The station 30 saves the signal sent from the load means 20 to a required address of its own database. Thus, the station 30 with a specification suitable for an installed site is prepared simply.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to an apparatus for creating a database for a central monitoring device used in a building monitoring system, and particularly relates to an improvement that allows each database to be easily created.

<Prior art> For example, a central monitoring device for a building monitoring system is
No. 3-236,989 and the like. FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a building control system using a distributed control device. The bus is composed of Jf1 layer, and from the side closest to the point (operation end or detection end) Ll, L2. L
3. I read it as L4 bus. Taking heating in air conditioning as an example, a contact output (on/off signal) module controls the opening degree of a valve installed at a hot air outlet, and an analog output module receives output from a hygrometer, etc. This manipulated variable is sent from the FCM (field control module) via the L1 bus. In addition to the FCM, the L2 bus is connected to a device called an IOM (input/output module), which is connected to a detection end such as a thermometer or hygrometer.
It exchanges information with C3 (Local Control Station). The L3 bus consists of multiple connected LC3s and an MC3 (mask control station) that controls them.
Connect with. The L4 bus connects MC3 and OPS (Operator Station).

Note that the number of contacts to be controlled differs depending on the building, so large-scale buildings (for example, 5000 contacts) will use this scale as is, but small-scale buildings will use MC3.
, OPS communicates directly with LC8 by omitting the L4 bus, or LC3 directly controls the contact output module and analog output module by omitting the FCM and L4 bus.

Here, the module is a device that inputs and outputs contact signals and analog signals to and from the outside, and includes those that have a controller function and those that are simply transmitters. A station is a device in which a plurality of modules are connected, and has a database in which the number of modules, set values, target values, etc. are entered, and the above-mentioned LC8, MC3, etc. correspond.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of database construction work in such an apparatus. LC3 is set up for each area in the building, and each LC3 is set up for each point responsible for specifications such as temperature and humidity.6 Engineers are set up for each point type (temperature, humidity, and various environmental factors). Fill in each file.

Then, this created file is loaded into each LC3.

This file is recorded on, for example, an FD (floppy disk). For example, a computer using MSDO3 (Microsoft's disk operation system)
When files are recorded using C (personal computer), only one extension can be provided for each file.

This extension is usually used to specify the type of point.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, since the amount equivalent to multiple LC5s is recorded on this FD, each file must be specified individually to be loaded for each LC3, which makes the work # There was a problem with it being sloppy. Also, when changing the contents of a file created in the past and using it, the problem is that the entire contents of this file cannot be expressed using the file name or extension, and it takes time to read the appropriate file. was there.

The present invention has solved these problems, and aims to provide an apparatus in which created data files can be easily loaded into the LC3, and the contents of specific files created in the past can be easily recognized.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention achieves the above object by providing an apparatus for recording data in a database for a station having a database for recording set values, target values, etc. of each point. The structure is as follows.

That is, a file name registration table that has an identifier according to the type of point and records the type of point, a file provided for each station, and the name of the file that corresponds to a specific station among the files. and means for collectively loading files having file name registration table names corresponding to this station.

Functions Each component of the present invention has the following functions. Identifiers provided with files facilitate the file creation process. The file name registration table is a list of files into which files having the corresponding file name registration table name are loaded at once to the target station. The loading means refers to the file name registration table and executes loading of the file to the station.

<Example> The present invention will be explained below using the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, a file 10 and a file name registration table 12 are provided inside the FD. The file 10 has an identifier according to the type of point, and one file is provided for each type of point and station. The file name registration table 12 stores a specific station within the file 10 (for example, No, 1; i = 1.2
．． -n) The name is recorded. That is, here, when the operator specifies a station number, the data setting device develops the file name of the specified station. This recording is performed by manually inputting the file name into each column of the file name registration table 12 using the file name key input 14.

The loading means 20 here uses a PC, and loads files having the file names stored in the file name registration table 12 into the corresponding stations 30 all at once. That is, the contents of the corresponding file among the files 10 are transferred to the memory R via the input/output device I10.
The data is temporarily stored in the AM and then output to the station 30 via the input/output terminal.

The station 30 records the signal sent from the loading means 20 at a necessary location in its own database. Thereby, it is possible to easily prepare the station 30 with specifications suitable for the site where it is installed.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the types of files 10. Taking No. 1a as an example, the r system database 1 represents the type of file point, the first blank column [,08] represents the file name, and the following number is an extension for identifying the type.

Next, each item will be explained. The system database defines the input/output (contact signals and analog signals) status with the outside for each module. The attached database defines external input/output for individual points provided in the module.The name table defines the name of each point, and is expressed using, for example, six digit alphanumeric characters. The unit table defines the types of units, such as [°C] for temperature, [f/1inl] for flow rate, and [cal] for heat quantity. The BIN unit table defines the meaning of contact signals; for example, alarm/normal corresponds to on/off. A range table defines a signal area, for example, an analog signal
-2011A&: It is defined whether to correspond to te 0-100% or 0-80°C, or to display the same number after the decimal point. The schedule pointer represents the correspondence between each point and the season or day of the week, and for example, selects one of summer, winter, and mid-season. An interlock defines a point that operates in conjunction with the on/off of a specific point.

The demand table sets parameters for power saving operation, for example. The L2 scan rate defines the frequency of communication on the bus. Passwords ensure that only operators who know the code can access these databases. The default attached database is a file with standard contents, and is used as a basis for changing the contents as appropriate to match the specifications of the site.

The operation of the device configured in this manner will be described next. Third
The figure is a flowchart showing the work procedure when registering data. 0 The operator reads a file with standard content from the default attached database according to the file type, changes the content as appropriate according to the specifications of the site, and then files the file. 10 is created for each station 30. For this content, write the file name and provide a memo field to make it easier to understand the outline of the content.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the data loading operation to the station 30. First, the file name registration table 12 is read to search for a file name that matches this station 30. Next, files with different file names are collectively recorded in the database of the station 30. Note that when changing the contents of the database of the station 30, a similar procedure can be used.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, according to the present invention, files to be loaded into a specific station 30 are specified in advance using the file name registration table 12, so that loading work into a database can be performed reliably. When changing the contents of the database of the station 30, since the file name registration table 12 is created by the person who created the data, there is no need to enter the wrong file 17, and the database setting work becomes easier.
