[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a training plant operation simulation device for training an operator of an industrial plant.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, as a training plant operation simulator of this type, there is one shown in FIG. 3 disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-118185, for example. In FIG. 3, reference numeral 1 is a simulated control panel of a plant to be trained, 8 is a variable display means for displaying a screen simulating the control panel surface, such as a CRT. Reference numeral 9 is an input means for giving a screen input command of the simulated control panel 1 displayed on the variable display means 8, such as a light pen. 10 is a screen input processing program that receives an input signal from the input means 9, 6 is a model program that simulates the control command input designated by the input means 9, 11 is a data table that stores the calculation results of the model program 6, and 12 is It is a screen display program for reading the contents of the data stored in the data table 11 and transmitting the operation result to the trainee. Further, FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing an example of a screen displayed on the variable display means 8 by selecting a part of the simulated control board, and 13 is a part of the surface of the conventional simulated control board 1 selected by the input means 9. An example of the screen displayed on the variable display means 8 is a screen control switch 14 operated by the input means 9.

Next, the operation will be described. First, the trainee M uses the input means 9, for example, a light pen, to specify the variable display means 8, for example, the screen control switch 14 on the board surface of the simulated control board 1 displayed on the CRT. When the screen control switch 14 is designated, the input command is input to the screen input processing program 10 of the control computer 4 as a simulated control input signal (I). Here, since the screen input processing program 10 is operating at high speed and cyclically, when the input signal of the screen control switch 14 designated by the input means 9 is received, it is processed and transmitted to the model program 6. The model program 6 executes the control calculation according to the simulated control input signal (I) from the input means 9, and sets the calculation result in the data table 11. The data set in the data table 11 is read by the screen display program 12 at high speed and periodically, and is output to the variable display means 8 on the simulated control panel 1 as a simulated control output signal (O) without the time delay of the model program 6. indicate.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Since the conventional training plant operation simulator is configured and operated as described above, it is not possible to display all the equipment mounted on the simulation control panel on the variable display means. Had to grasp the device layout of the entire surface of the simulated control panel, and it was difficult for a third party to understand what was displayed on the variable display means.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems. The device layout on the entire surface of the simulated control panel can be grasped and the device displayed on the variable display means can The purpose is to obtain a training plant operation simulator that can be shown to the operator.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The plant operation simulator for training according to the present invention is displayed on the selected device display panel and the variable display device, which are provided with an indicator light indicating that each device on the simulated control panel device layout is displaying on the variable display device. The installation position recognition program that recognizes the installation position of the selected device and the selected device display program that outputs to the indicator light of the selected device display panel are provided.

[0007]

[Action]

 In the training plant operation simulation device according to this invention, when the variable display means displays the simulated control panel-attached device, it is displayed on the variable display means attached to the corresponding device on the simulated control panel device layout drawing drawn on the selected device display panel. The indicator light indicating that it is lighting up.
