Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a driving training simulator for a power plant or the like, and more particularly to a man-machine interface for beginners of the driving training simulator.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a driving training simulator for a power plant as one of the driving training simulators. Generally speaking, the operation training simulator is installed in a computer 1 that models a machine such as a boiler or turbine of a power plant and its control device and stores it in the form of a program, and a central operating room of an actual plant. The operation panel 3 and the monitoring panel or auxiliary panel 2 are provided.

Recently, a driving training simulator has been installed at each power plant, and it is expected that the number will increase in the future.
At that time, it is not a good idea to install a monitoring panel that requires a particularly large space in the driving training simulator in its actual size. Therefore, by adopting a method of reproducing this monitoring panel on the CRT screen and operating it in the CRT screen, it is possible to make the function of the monitoring panel compact and to make almost all of the power station operation training simulator as a CRT.

In the monitoring panel of the driving training simulator, pushbutton switches, control switches, changeover switches, etc. are operated to monitor the operation of the plant with lamps, indicators, recorders and the like. If the monitoring panel is a CRT,
All of these are represented on the CRT screen. However, since the amount of information that can be displayed on one CRT screen is limited, in general, the monitoring board surface is appropriately divided and a plurality of C
Converted to RT screen. Therefore, the monitoring board is CRT
However, unlike the actual monitoring panel, it is impossible to monitor all the lamps, indicators, recorders, etc. at the same time, and it is necessary to call the necessary screens.

There are various methods for calling this screen. FIG. 4 shows an example thereof. In the method of FIG. 4, the monitoring board surface is appropriately divided, and each division is CR.
When it is desired to operate / monitor the board surface of the block 7 corresponding to one T screen, first, the menu screen 6 is called on the CRT screen 4, and the menu block 5 on the CRT screen corresponding to the block 7 on the actual monitoring board is displayed. Is designated, the CRT screen 8 corresponding to the block 7 is displayed on the actual monitoring board. In this state, on the CRT screen 8,
It enables touch operation and mouse operation.

As a conventional driving training simulator of this type, for example, as shown in JP-A-51-90627 and JP-A-57-85076, a technology level can be switched according to the progress of training. was there.

[0007]

In the conventional driving training simulator, it is only necessary to operate the monitoring board or the monitoring board reproduced on the CRT screen. Therefore, a person who has experienced operation to some extent can know that he or she has made an operation mistake by monitoring movements and alarms of the plant, and the plant can be operated once again in front of the plant, as is commonly called step back. You can return to the state and simulate again. There is also a driving training simulator that further develops this method and has a function of notifying the trainee of that when an incorrect operation is performed.

In any case, however, it is not clear to a true beginner who is in a stage where the movement of the plant, the meaning of the alarm, etc. are not fully understood, and where it is wrong or how to return to the CRT. Most of the time was taken for switching screens, and the time for the original training operation was relatively short, making learning difficult.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a driving training simulator which is easy for beginners to learn without being bothered by a switching operation of a plurality of CRT screens whose operation objects are divided and stored.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The above-mentioned object is to have a trainee trainer operate a push button switch, control switch, changeover switch or This is achieved by adopting a method of instructing the trainee on the block of the monitoring board to be monitored on the CRT screen.

That is, in order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides an operation training consisting of a computer which models a plant and a control device to be operated and stores them in the form of a program, and an operation panel and / or a monitoring panel. In the simulator, the operation target device in which the computer determines the switches to be operated by the trainee and / or the monitoring panel to be monitored according to the state of the plant etc. and the operation performed at that time, and instructs the trainee This is to propose a driving training simulator equipped with a determining means.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention also provides a computer which models a plant and a control device to be operated and stores them in the form of a program, an operation panel and / or a control panel.
Or, in a driving training simulator consisting of a display means for dividing the monitoring panel into a plurality of blocks and converting the image into an image and selectively displaying the image, means for switching between a normal mode for general training and a guidance mode for beginner training, and a guidance. In the mode, the switches and / or the trainee should operate according to the state of the plant at that time and the operation performed
Alternatively, a driving training simulator is proposed that includes a control block determining unit that determines a display block including a monitoring panel to be monitored and selectively displays it on a display unit to instruct a trainee to operate and / or monitor an operation target device. To do.

[0013]

In the present invention, the operation training simulator itself has a push button switch, a control switch, a changeover switch or a monitoring panel to be monitored by the trainee depending on the state of the plant or the like at that time and the operation performed. Blocks and the like are instructed to the trainee on the CRT screen, so that even a beginner can learn the operation procedure while clearly recognizing where he / she made a mistake or how much he should return to. Therefore, wasting time on the switching operation of the CRT screen, which is not directly related to the original training,
It almost disappears.

Incidentally, for trainees who have learned to some extent,
A switching means is provided so that training can be performed only on the actual monitoring board or the monitoring board reproduced on the CRT screen without issuing this instruction. Therefore, the trainee who has reached this stage can perform the training similar to the actual monitoring / manipulation only by his / her own technique, as in the past.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the driving training simulator according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of an embodiment of the driving training simulator according to the present invention. The operation panel of this driving training simulator is provided with a plurality of CRTs, of which, for example, the CRT 4 simulates a monitoring panel. There may be a plurality of CRTs simulating the monitoring board. CR simulating monitoring panel
The T4 is connected to the CPU 9 by the input / output loop 10 together with another CRT. The signal operated in association with the display content of the CRT 4 is processed by the CPU 9 which performs the arithmetic function of the driving training simulator. The CPU 9 executes a necessary calculation based on the operation signal and sends the result back to the CRT 4 for display via the input / output loop 10.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a configuration of software installed in the hardware of FIG. 5 and an example of a signal flow. The CRT screen 4-1 includes a guidance mode 21 for beginners and a normal mode 22 for general training used by trainees who have experienced some training and actual machine operation.
There is a changeover switch for and. It goes without saying that the changeover switch may be provided as hardware instead of the CRT screen 4-1.

When the normal mode 22 is designated on the CRT screen 4-1, the driving training simulator uses the information of the monitoring panel designated on the CRT 4 as the signal 14 to the CPU 9
Take in. The CPU 9 executes the input / output processing 12 and outputs it as a signal 15 to the plant model / control model 11. Therefore, the plant model / control model 11 executes a necessary calculation based on this input information. The calculation result of the plant model / control model 11 is sent to the input / output processing 12 as a signal 16. The input / output processing 12 sends the calculation result as a signal 17 to the CRT 4. The CRT 4 displays the calculation result and waits for the next operation. In the normal mode, the operation target device determination task 13, which is characteristic of the present invention, is not operated.

When the guidance mode 21 is designated on the CRT screen 4-1, in addition to the plant model / control model 11 and the input / output processing 12, the operation target device determination task 1
3 is also operated. The operation target device determination task 13 takes in the plant state and / or the control parameter as a signal 18 from the plant model / control model 11, and takes in the information of the monitoring board as a signal 19 from the input / output processing 12, and the operation is required. A device, that is, a device to be operated is determined and sent as a signal 20 to the input / output processing 12. The input / output processing 12 uses the information of the operation target device as a signal 17 for the CRT 4
Send to. The CRT 4 selects and displays the screen of the monitoring panel including the operation target device, and also indicates the operation target device. As a method of instructing the operation target device, a method of flickering, a method of changing color or density, or the like can be adopted. CR
The T screen 4-2 is an example of the selected screen, and the push button switch 24, the control switch 25, and the indicator 26 are shown. In this case, push button switch 2
4, the push button switch 23 is the operation target device. When the push button switch 23 is operated, the plant model / control model 11 and the input / output process 12 operate in the same manner as the operation in the normal mode, and the plant process proceeds. As an operation method on the CRT screen, a touch operation method, a mouse method, a light pen method, or the like can be adopted.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a procedure of an embodiment of the operation target device determination task 13 in the guidance mode 21. The present embodiment shows an example related to starting the turbine. When the condition of step 32 is satisfied as a condition for starting the turbine, in step 33, the CRT screen 4-
This is set by designating "increase" in the rotation speed change rate setting 28 of No. 3. The result of the increasing operation is displayed on the indicator 27. In step 34, it is determined whether the setting is completed. When the setting is completed, in step 35, the CRT screen 4
-4 is set by designating "increase" of the rotation speed setting 30. The result of the increasing operation is displayed on the indicator 29. Step 36
At, it is determined whether the setting is completed. When the setting is completed, in step 37, the rotation speed is 3500.
Determine if the rpm has been exceeded. When the number of revolutions exceeds 3500 rpm, in step 38, the field breaker "ON" on the CRT screen 4-5 is designated to turn on the field breaker. In step 39, it is determined whether the charging is completed. When the input is completed, the series of operations of this time is ended, and the process proceeds to the next process.

According to the present embodiment, in the guidance mode, the CPU 9 of the driving training simulator itself has push button switches, control switches, etc. to be operated by the trainee depending on the state of the plant or the like at that time and the operation performed. By deciding the changeover switch or the block of the monitoring panel to be monitored and instructing the trainee on the screen of the CRT 4, even a beginner clearly recognizes where he / she made a mistake or how much to return, You can learn the operation procedure.

Therefore, it is almost unnecessary to waste time for the switching operation of the CRT screens 4-1 to 4-5, ... Which are not directly related to the original training.

[0022]

According to the present invention, the guidance of the switches to be operated next is displayed, so that even a beginner can operate without being bothered by the operation of switching a plurality of CRT screens in which the operation target is divided and stored. You can learn the procedure.
