Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a large amount of information display device used in a remote monitoring device for monitoring the status of various processes.

Conventional technology Conventionally, remote monitoring equipment that monitors the status of various processes uses status change information obtained through monitoring.
In many cases, the process status is communicated to supervisors by displaying it on a display device such as a CRT display device.

Problems that the invention aims to solve: However, in the past, when displaying state change information collected from a process on a display device, it was difficult to collect all the necessary state change information, edit it all at once, and display it on the display device. As the amount of information collected within one editing cycle increases,
The editing time is long, resulting in a delay in display start time, and disadvantages include the inability to respond immediately to changes in process status.

Means and action for solving the problem The present invention was made to solve the above problem, and it divides state change information by type or predetermined editing unit, edits them individually, and displays them. By displaying the information on the apparatus, it is possible to efficiently display a large amount of state change information, and to provide a large amount of information display apparatus that can immediately respond to a change in the state of a process.

EXAMPLES Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on examples.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention, which can be roughly divided into an editing section 1, a display control section 2, a state change information storage memory (hereinafter referred to as storage memory) 3,
It is composed of a display information memory 4, a display line number setting device 5, an edit line number counter 6, a display line number counter 7, and a CRT display device (hereinafter referred to as CRT) 8.

In such a configuration, the state change information I collected from the process is input to the editing section 1, and is sequentially stored in the storage memory 3 under the control of the editing section 1.

The editing section 1 processes according to the editing section processing flowchart shown in FIG. In Figure 3, S1
is a step for determining whether or not it is a status change notification (edit cycle time up notification). This step S1 determines whether it is a status change notification or an edit cycle time-up notification, and if it is a status change notification, the process moves to status change information storage processing step S2. On the other hand, in the case of an edit time up notification, the message is edited and the process goes to step S3.

Step S2 is a step in which the state change is stored in the state change information storage area of the storage memory 3.
Step S3 is a step for determining whether there is any state change to be edited. This step S3 checks the state change information storage area, and if there is no accumulated state change information that has not been edited, the state change information currently being edited is also checked. It is determined in step S4 whether or not there is.
On the other hand, if there is any unedited state change information, this is edited in step S9. In step S4, it is determined whether or not the edited line counter 6 is zero. If the counter 6 is not zero, these messages are written to the display output data area, and the process moves to step S5 to issue a display request. On the other hand, if the edited line number counter 6 is zero, it is assumed that the editing is complete and the processing is terminated. Step S5 is a step in which a message is written to the display output data area. When the processing in step S5 is completed, the process moves to step S6, where the edited line number counter 6 is copied to the display line number counter 7.
Step S7 is a step for clearing the edited line number counter 7. Step S8 is a step in which a display output request is made to the CRT8.

Step S9 is a step for editing one line of the message of the state change information that was not edited in step S3, and the edited line number counter 6 is updated in step S10 with the message edited in step S9. Step S11 is a step for determining whether to continue editing the display unit.The editing line number counter 6 is checked, and if the number of lines in the display unit is less than the set value, the message is continued to be edited. When the value of the edit line number counter 6 and the set display unit line number become the same, these messages are written in the display output area and sent to step S5 to issue a display request.

When the editing section 1 finishes writing the state change information for one editing cycle, it has already written and edits the state change information according to predetermined editing standards or priorities. When the editing for the output unit of the editing information is completed, the editing information is stored in the display information memory 4 and a display request DREQ is sent to the display control section 2. In this case, display request DREQ
Information indicating the display position and size of the editing information is added.

The display control section 2, which receives the display request DREQ from the editing section 1, reads the editing information from the display information memory 4 and outputs it to the CRT 8 as display information DOUT. This allows the editing information to be transferred to the CRT8 for each output unit.
displayed on the screen. During this time, the editing section 1 continues editing the next status change information.

By the way, the CRT 8 can display up to M lines of display information per screen, but when the editing unit 1 finishes editing the state change information corresponding to one line of display information, the number of edited lines is changed each time. counter 6
The count value of is updated. In addition, the display control unit 2
The count value of the display line number counter 7 is updated every time the display information for one line is sent to the CRT 8.

On the other hand, the number of lines of information to be simultaneously displayed on the CRT 8 is set in the display line number setting device 5 as necessary.

Therefore, when the number of lines of information to be displayed simultaneously is set in the display line number setting device 5, the editing unit 1 selects the number of lines to be displayed simultaneously when the set value matches the count value of the edit line number counter 6, or when the edit line number counter 6 The total value of the count value of CRT and the count value of display counter 7 is
When the maximum displayable line number M of 8 is reached, it is assumed that the editing operation for one output unit has been completed, and the state change information edited up to this point is output.

In addition, if no set value is set in the display line number setting device 5, the total value of the count value of the edit line number counter 6 and the count value of the display line number counter 7 is
When the maximum displayable line number M of the CRT 8 is reached, or when editing of one type of state change information is completed, it is assumed that the editing operation for one output unit has been completed, and the state change information edited up to this point is output.

In this way, by dividing the status change information by type or predetermined editing unit and editing and displaying them individually, even if the amount of information within one editing cycle increases, this information can be divided by type or predetermined editing unit. It is divided and displayed for each editing unit. As a result, when editing and displaying five types of status change information A to E as shown in FIG. 2a, for example, the time until the display starts is almost constant, and the conventional display shown in FIG. 2b This is significantly shorter than the starting time. Note that in FIG. 2, T indicates the information display time.

As a result, it is possible to immediately respond to changes in process conditions. In particular, since this embodiment is equipped with a display line number setting device 5, the editing operation and the number of display lines can be controlled in units of a desired number of lines, and the setting value of this setting device 5 can be adjusted according to the content of the process. By changing , it is possible to display state change information in the most effective unit.

Effects of the invention As is clear from the above explanation, the present invention allows state change information to be edited and displayed individually, so a large amount of state change information can be displayed efficiently, and process state changes can be quickly detected. This has the effect of being able to respond to
