Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a power-on system at the time of power recovery of an automatic operation control device for powering on an information processing device at a set time.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the use of information processing devices has been rapidly increasing, and the scale and the number of set devices have been increasing. In such a large-scale system, it becomes impossible to control the operation of each processing device both in terms of operation and manpower, and an automatic operation control device is introduced. Powering on each processing device is automated.

A power-on method of a conventional automatic operation control device will be described below with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG. 4 is a configuration diagram of a conventional example, and FIG. 5 is an operation flowchart of a closing time monitoring unit of the conventional example. Reference numeral 10 denotes an automatic operation control device, which controls power-on of an information processing device (not shown) connected to a control line from the power supply control unit 15.

The automatic driving control device 10 is operated by being backed up by a battery and operates to generate a present time.
And a power-on setting memory 14 configured by a non-volatile memory storing power-on time of each information device (not shown) connected to the power control unit 15, and a power-on time of the power-on setting memory 14. The input unit 17 for inputting commands necessary for input and other controls, the current time of the clock unit 13 and the turn-on time stored in the power-on setting memory 14 are monitored for coincidence, and power control is performed at the coincident time. A power-on time monitoring unit 16 that commands the power-on to the unit 15, a power-supply control unit 15 that controls power-on of the corresponding information processing device according to a command from the power-on time monitoring unit 16, and a processor that performs all processing ( MPU) 18.

The power-on setting memory 14 is composed of a memory corresponding to a plurality of addresses, the information processing device numbers are associated with the addresses, and the power-on time of each information processing device is input and stored from the input unit 17. It Turn-on time monitoring unit 1
6 performs processing according to the flow shown in FIG. 5, issues a power-on command to the power supply control unit 15, and controls the power-on of the specified information processing device in the power supply control unit 15.

When the power-on time stored in the power-on setting memory 14 of each information processing apparatus is started at the power-on time monitoring unit 16, the power-on time is, for example, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, ...
When the input time is set in units of 10 minutes, the instruction on the clock unit 13 is 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, ...
Starts when.

Process S1 In process S1, first, the data in the power-on setting memory 14 stored at the address corresponding to the device number X = 1 of the information processing device is read to determine whether or not the power-on time is set. A judgment is made. That is, some devices do not turn on the power at a fixed time every day, and some of them operate continuously. Such a device does not require subsequent power-on processing. Therefore, when the determination result is NO, the processes S2 and S3 are bypassed and the process proceeds to the process S4.

Process S2: It is determined whether the input time of the read data and the current time of the clock unit 13 match. When the determination result is NO, that is, when it is not the input time, the process S3 is bypassed and the process proceeds to the process S4. Process S3 When the determination result in process S2 is YES, that is, when it is the power-on time, the power-supply control unit 15 is instructed to power-on the information processing device for the device number X. The power supply control unit 15 controls power-on of the information processing device which has received the command.

Process S4 In process S4, the processes S1 to S1 are performed.
It is determined whether or not the process in S3 has been performed on all the devices, and if there is a device that has not been implemented, processes S1 to S3 are repeatedly executed, and if all are completed, the process is performed. To finish.

[0010]

In the conventional power-on method of the automatic operation control device, the power-on processing is performed based on the operation flow shown in FIG. 5 described above. Therefore, even if the power supplied to the automatic operation control device is interrupted by a power failure and then restored, the power-on command is given only by comparing the match between the power-on time and the current time in step S2. There is an inconvenience that the power-on processing is not executed for the devices stored in the power-on setting memory 14 as the power-on time during the power failure time, and the operator has to manually turn on the power.

The present invention provides a power-on system at power recovery of an automatic operation control device improved so that current is automatically supplied after power recovery even if a power failure occurs at the power-on time of the information processing apparatus. The purpose is to

[0012]

Means adopted by the present invention to solve the above problems will be described with reference to the principle diagram of FIG. In FIG. 1, the clock unit 13, the power-on setting memory 14 and the MPU 18 are as described in FIG.

A clock unit 13 for generating the current time and a power-on setting memory 14 for recording the power-on time are provided.
In the automatic operation control device for turning on the power of the information processing device at the time recorded in the power-on setting memory 14,
Power recovery detection means 11 for detecting that the power supply has recovered
The power-on time recorded in the power-on setting memory 14 is compared with the current time indicated by the clock unit 13 by the power-on detection by the power-on detection unit 11, and the power-on time indicates the current time. And a power recovery processing means 12 for instructing to turn on the power when the time has passed.

[0014]

When the power supplied to the automatic operation control device is cut off and the power is restored thereafter, the power restoration detecting means 11 detects that the power is restored. When the power recovery detecting means 11 detects that the power is recovered, the power recovery time processing means 12 stores the power on time and the clock unit 1 recorded in the power on setting memory 14.
3 is compared with the current time indicated by 3, and when the power-on time is past the current time, a power-on command is issued and the information processing apparatus is powered on.

As described above, even when the power supply to the automatic operation control unit is in the power failure at the power-on time of the information processing apparatus, when the power supply is restored, the power-on time is set at the power failure time. Since the power supply to the existing device is automatically turned on, it is possible to perform a smooth system operation without requiring manpower.
