Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily judge the missetting of a ROM whose version is improper by deciding whether or not a program ROM and a data ROM match each other when the device is started up and indicating the version mismatch when the version is improper. CONSTITUTION:The decision means 48 of a CPU 36 reads out identification data 42 and 44 on the versions of the program ROM 38 and data ROM 40 when the device is powered on and started up, and then decides whether or not the program version and data version match each other by using a decision table 46. When the means 48 decides the version mismatch, the version missetting of the ROM is displayed as a message on a display device 50, indicated as a voice message by a voice synthesis device 52, or printed out on a printer 54.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a disaster prevention monitoring device for fire, gas leakage, theft, etc., and more specifically, to a control program and data for a terminal device connected to a disaster prevention monitoring panel. This invention relates to a disaster prevention monitoring device that stores and uses a ROM in a ROM.

``Conventional technology'' Conventionally, the receiver uses a CPU, but in disaster prevention monitoring equipment using 7G control, fire detectors, gas leak detectors, etc. are connected as terminal devices via transmission lines. , e.g. fire detector or detect fire.

When a fire detection signal occurs, a fire detection signal is sent to the receiver side via the transmission line [7] Based on this fire detection signal, the receiver side issues a fire alarm.

Incidentally, in recent years, so-called intelligent type disaster prevention monitoring devices in which a judgment function is provided on the receiver side have been developed, and in particular, models in which a computer is provided on the receiver side are being developed.

In such a disaster prevention monitoring device, for example, if the partitions are changed after the equipment is installed, some data is converted by replacing the data ROM. In addition, when a design change occurs to connect a new device to be controlled, the program ROM must be replaced and the device started up (7). Different versions of the ROM and data ROM are prepared in advance, making it possible to easily respond to changes in specifications by replacing the upgraded program ROM and data ROM.

When the program ROM is upgraded, unless the data ROM is also updated, the data will no longer function properly.

Conventionally, therefore, compatibility has been confirmed by writing a version number on a sticker attached to the program ROM and data ROM.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional method of writing the version number on a sticker attached to the ROM, errors in writing the version number easily occur, and if there is a writing error, an incompatible version number may be written. There is a problem in that when a ROM is set and a malfunction occurs, the entire device must be checked before the cause of the failure due to the ROM's incompatibility is determined, making inspection and adjustment extremely complicated.

The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a disaster prevention monitoring device that can easily determine a setting error when a ROM with an incompatible version is inserted.

[Means for Solving the Problems] To achieve this object, the present invention is configured as follows.

First, the present invention is directed to a disaster prevention monitoring device that has a program ROM and a data ROM, and controls a terminal device, etc. based on the program stored in the program ROM, and also makes various judgments based on the data stored in the data ROM. shall be.

The present invention for such a disaster prevention monitoring device includes a determination table indicating compatibility between identification data indicating the version of the program ROM and identification data indicating the version of the data ROM, and a determination table indicating the compatibility between the identification data indicating the version of the program ROM and the data ROM, and
The present invention is characterized in that it includes a determining means for determining compatibility with the program ROM and the data ROM by referring to a determination table, and a notifying means for notifying when the determining means determines that the program ROM and the data ROM are incompatible.

[Operation] According to the disaster prevention monitoring device of the present invention having such a configuration, the program ROM and data R with incompatible versions
Even if there is a setting error due to OM insertion, for example, when starting up the device by turning on the power, compatibility can be determined by referring to a judgment table that determines compatibility based on the version identification data of the program ROM and the version identification data of the data ROM. If it is found to be non-compliant, the ROM
By notifying a message, alarm, etc. indicating version incompatibility, a ROM setting error can be immediately recognized and the device can be easily operated normally by replacing the ROM with a compatible version.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, an example is taken in which an information panel as a sub-display panel is added to a basic device configuration consisting of a receiver and terminal equipment such as a fire detector.

In FIG. 1, 10 is a receiver, and a repeater 14, an analog smoke detector 16 equipped with a relay function, and an analog heat sensor 18 also equipped with a relay function are connected to a transmission line 12 led out from the receiver 10. Connected. An on/off sensor 22 is connected to the repeater 14 via a signal line 20 that also serves as a power source.

The receiver 10 is provided with a control unit 24 using a CPU,
The control unit 24 has an I-display unit 26 . An operating section 28 and a ringing section 30 are provided. The control unit 24 connects the repeater 14. The analog smoke detector 16 and the analog heat detector 18 are sequentially called to send back fire detection information. In response to fire detection information from the on/off detector 22 connected to the repeater 14, the control unit 24 directly determines the presence of a fire and displays the information on the display unit 26.
At the same time, a fire alarm is displayed, and the ringing unit 30 rings an alarm bell or the like. Further, the analog detection information from the analog smoke detector 16 is compared with, for example, a threshold value in the control unit 24, and when the fire level is reached, a fire alarm is issued in the same way.

For the receiver 10, in this embodiment, the transmission line 3
A new sub-display panel and an information panel 34 have been added via 2. For example, in a hospital or the like, a receiver 10 of a disaster prevention monitoring device is installed in a monitoring center. Since fire information can only be grasped at the monitoring center, there is a risk that effective evacuation guidance will not be carried out, and there is a risk of adding an information panel 34 as a sub-display panel when changing the design. Information panel 34 is receiver 1
Control unit 211° and display unit 26- using the CPU as in 0
1. It is equipped with an operation part 28-1 and a ringing part 30-1,
Display and the like are controlled based on information from the receiver 10.

In this way, when the information panel 34 as a sub-display panel is newly connected to the receiver 10, new controls such as checking the backup power supply in the information panel 34 and monitoring disconnections are added to the receiver 10. Therefore, new programs and data are required.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an embodiment showing the control unit 24 in the receiver shown in FIG. 1 along with peripheral devices.

In FIG. 2, the control section 24 includes a CPU 36.degree. program ROM 38. Data ROM40. A data RAM 45 is provided.

In the present invention, identification data 42 indicating a version number is stored in the program ROM 38, and in this embodiment, ■1 indicating version number 1 is stored as the identification data. Similarly, the data ROM 40 also stores identification data 44 indicating its version, and in this embodiment, V
l is memorized.

Furthermore, the program ROM38 includes a program ROM3.
A determination table 46 indicating the compatibility of the version of the data ROM 40 with respect to the version No. 8 is stored. This determination table 46 has, for example, a table configuration shown in FIG. 3.

In FIG. 3, the version number, or program version, of the program ROM 38 is 1.2°3.4, while the version number, or data version, of the data ROM 40 is 2. 3.4, and table data is stored that is 1 if the version of the program and data is compatible and 0 if it is not compatible.

In the case of the program ROM 38 and data ROM 40 in FIG. 2, since the version number of the program ROM 38 is 1 and the version number of the data ROM 40 is 1,
It can be seen from the determination table 46 in FIG. 3 that the data version is compatible with the program version.

Referring again to FIG. 2, the CPU 36 includes a determining means 48.
The following functions are provided. For example, the determination means 48 determines the version identification data 42.44 of the program ROM 38 and data R, 0M40 when the device is started up by turning on the power.
(7) Furthermore, the determination table 46 is read from the program ROM 38, and the determination table 46 is used to determine whether or not the program version and the data version are compatible. When the determination means 48 determines that the versions are incompatible, for example, A message indicating the version setting error is displayed on the display device 50, a speech synthesis device 52 is used to notify the ROM version setting error as a voice message, or the ROM version setting error is displayed on the printer 54.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a ROM version check process performed by the CPU 36 provided in the control section 24 of FIG. 2 at the time of system startup.

In FIG. 3, when the device is powered on and started, the CPTJ 36 acquires identification data 44 indicating the version of the data ROM 40 in step S1. Next, in S2, it is determined whether the version obtained from the program ROM 38 is compatible with the identification data 42 by referring to the determination table 46, and if it is compatible, the process proceeds to S3 to start up the system.

On the other hand, if there is no compatibility with the version of the program ROM 38, the process proceeds to S4, where a warning is displayed to prompt the user to replace the data ROM 40 with a compatible version.

In this warning display at S4, the number of the data version matching the program version may be displayed.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the program ROM and data ROM are upgraded when an information panel 34 as a sub-display panel is added to the receiver 10, but other version upgrades are also possible. For example, if the control unit 24 of the receiver 1-0 is equipped with fire judgment software that makes fire judgments using analog data from the analog smoke detector 16 and analog heat sensor 18, There is an example in which the version has been upgraded to include schedule control. What is schedule control?
For example, judgment controls include lowering the fire judgment level during the day and raising the fire judgment level at night, or lowering the fire judgment level in the kitchen. Regarding the version upgrade by adding such a schedule control function, the program ROM 3
Replace the data ROM 40 with a version compatible with version 8.8, check whether the program version and data version are compatible when starting up the device, and if there is a setting error, it will notify you of the version incompatibility, making it easy to correct the setting error. You can understand and respond accordingly.

Furthermore, in addition to adding schedule control, the present invention can be applied in exactly the same way to program changes accompanying a change in the use of a room and changes to enhance functionality.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained in Section 2, according to the present invention, the compatibility of the program ROM and data ROM is determined using a judgment table at the time of starting up the device (2. If there is a version setting error due to the insertion or replacement of a data ROM when updating the control program due to equipment expansion or changes, we will immediately notify the version setting error and take appropriate action. This eliminates the need to inspect the entire device due to a version setting error, and makes inspection and adjustment extremely easy when starting up equipment associated with version upgrades.
