Abstract

PURPOSE:To quickly and accurately perform a monitoring job by automatically reading out the state of the monitor facility of a device to be monitored not receiving accident warning when the accident warning is issued in region concentrated fashion. CONSTITUTION:When a monitoring center device 1 receives the accident warning from terminal equipment 3-5 in an area A one after another, an operator judges that the accident warning in the area A is issued concentrically, and inputs an instruction to detect accident warning unissuing terminal equipment 3-5 in the area A from an input device 13. A controller 11 extracts the terminal equipment 3-5 from a memory device 15 by input from the device 13, and compares them with accident warning information in a memory device 16, and detects the terminal equipment from which no accident warning is issued out of the terminal equipment 3-5 in the area A. Thence, a line is connected to the terminal equipment from which no accident warning is issued via a telephone line 2 by a network controller 18, and the state of facility which monitors the state is read out by a modem device 17. By employing such constitution, it is possible to recognize the states of all the terminal equipment in the area A and to quickly and accurately perform the monitoring job.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a monitoring center device using a telephone line.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional device is adapted to receive an alarm from a monitored device and inform the operator of the alarm content of the alarm.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned prior art, when a monitored device in a certain predetermined area centrally issues an alert, the alert cannot be received due to the limitation of the number of telephone lines connected to the monitoring center device. It is not possible to find a report or a missing report due to some cause such as a failure of the monitored device. For this reason,
It takes time to recover from an abnormality.

It is an object of the present invention to realize a quick and accurate monitoring operation when an operator who operates the monitoring center device determines that the device to be monitored in a certain predetermined area is a centralized alarm.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a line control device for connecting to a telephone line, and a plurality of monitored devices connected to the line control device via the telephone line. The central processing unit for analyzing the data received from the monitored device, the storage device for accumulating the data analyzed by the central processing unit, and the data analyzed by the central processing unit. In the monitoring center device, which includes a display device for displaying, a printing device for printing the data analyzed by the central processing unit, and an input device for inputting correspondence to the data displayed on the display device, a large number of objects are stored. Installed within the monitored device installation range according to the input of the monitored device installation range from the input device of the monitoring center device when the alarms are simultaneously issued from the monitoring device To the monitored device that did not alarm to the monitoring center device of a monitored device that is, the state of the equipment being monitored in the monitoring device is intended to read the automatic from the monitoring center device.

[0006]

When the operator who operates the monitoring center device determines that the device to be monitored in a certain predetermined area is the centralized alarm, the operator inputs the area information from the input device of the monitoring center device, and the predetermined information is transmitted. The status of the equipment monitored by the monitored device is automatically read from the monitored center device for the monitored device that has not received an alert among the monitored devices in the area.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a monitoring system for monitoring various facility equipment (not shown) in a building by a monitoring center device 1 via a plurality of telephone lines 2.

The monitoring center device 1 includes a control device 11 for controlling the entire device, a display device 12 for displaying information, an input device 13 for inputting data, a printing device 14 for printing data, and a monitoring center device. The storage device 16 in which a program for operating 1 is stored, the storage device 16 for temporarily storing data, the modem device 12 for sending data to the telephone line 2, and the telephone line 2 are controlled. It is composed of the network controller 14. In addition, the telephone line 2 includes terminal devices 3 to 3 for monitoring the state of the facilities in each building for each building.
7 are connected, and in particular, the terminal devices 3 to 5 are installed in the same area A. Reference numeral 8 is an operator who operates the monitoring center device.

In the monitoring system configured as described above, a case where a power failure occurs in the area A will be described.

Now, when there is an alarm from the terminal device 3, in the monitoring center device 1, the call signal detected by the network control device 18 is identified by the control device 11. Thereby, the control device 1
1 issues a connection command to the network control device 18 and receives data via the modem 17. The received data is analyzed by the control device 11, displayed on the display device 12, and printed by the printing device 14.
Is printed and stored in the storage device 16. Now that there is a power outage in the area A, the other terminal devices 4 in the area A also perform the alarming operation in the same manner, but the number of telephone lines connected to the monitoring center device 1 is limited, so the terminal device 4 cannot be connected to the monitoring center device 1 via the telephone line 2. At this time,
The terminal device 4 waits for a predetermined time and performs the alarming operation again, but some of the terminal devices 4 retry the operation several times and then transmit the alarm content to the monitoring center device 1. Without,
Suppress the alarm.

Further, the terminal device 5 is out of order and does not perform the alarm issuing operation.

At this time, the monitoring center device 1 successively receives the reports from the terminal devices 3 to 5 installed in the area A and outputs them to the display device 12 and the printing device 14.
The operator 8 who operates the monitoring center device 1 confirms the content of the alert and determines that the alert in the area A is intensive, and the input device 1
Input from 3 to detect unreported terminal devices 3 to 5 in the A area. In the control device 11, according to the input from the input device 13, the terminal devices 3 to 3 which are connected via the telephone line 2 to
The terminal devices 3 to 5 installed in the area A are extracted from the storage device 15 storing the information of No. 5 and further compared with the alarm information in the storage device 16 storing the alarm information Then, the terminal devices of the terminal devices 3 to 5 installed in the area A which have not been notified are detected. The control device 11 connects to the above-mentioned terminal device which has not been notified by the network control device 18 through the telephone line,
The modem device 17 reads out the state of the equipment monitored by the terminal device. The control device 11 displays the read result on the display device 12 or prints it on the printing device 14. As a result, the operator 8 grasps the state of all terminal devices in the area A,
A quick and accurate monitoring operation can be realized.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, when an area-intensive alarm is issued, a predetermined area is selected from among the terminal devices 3 to 7 connected to the monitoring center device via a telephone line. By designating, by notifying the operator of the monitoring status of the terminal devices 3-5 installed in the predetermined area that have not been notified, the status of the terminal device can be grasped and quickly. Can realize accurate monitoring center operations.
