Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a screen development method in CRT operation, for example, CRT operation for controlling and monitoring plant equipment.
It is suitable for use in the screen switching method of the CRT screen of the system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, in a control device having a CRT operation system for operating and controlling plant equipment, a screen required for operation is displayed on a CRT.
In order to display on the top, in the conventional technology, the screen name is searched from the keyboard and the key is pressed to switch the screen, or
This was done by hitting the required screen name from the hit area for screen development displayed below the RT screen.

[0003]

In the conventional method,
The operator involved in the operation understands the contents of each screen and needs the screen name and screen No. Always had to be aware of. For this reason, it may not be possible to quickly respond to an ever-changing operation, and the development of the operation screen itself requires know-how. Therefore,
There has been a problem that it takes a lot of time to educate the students to learn the above know-how.

In view of the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to make it easy for anyone to easily understand a desired screen, and to allow even an unskilled person to easily operate it.

[0005]

The screen development method in the CRT operation of the present invention is used for a control system having a CRT device equipped with a touch panel on a CRT screen, and controls the operation of a process from the CRT device. In the CRT operation system for monitoring, the screen development is characterized by a hierarchical structure.

[0006]

In the present invention, since the screen expansion is made into a hierarchical structure as described above, it is easy to expand the screen from the first hierarchy to the second hierarchy, or to expand it to another screen of the same hierarchy, The operator can obtain a required screen without grasping the contents of each screen, and even an unskilled person can easily operate it.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a screen developing method in the CRT operation of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a conceptual diagram of a method of developing a screen on a CRT screen and a method of developing a screen with a keyboard.

1 to 3 of FIG. 1 show a screen development method on a CRT screen, 1 is a group of a first layer screen, 2 is a group of a second layer screen, and 3 is a group of a third layer screen. ing. Further, 4 represents a screen development group by the keyboard.

When the features of screen development in the screen development method in the CRT operation of the present embodiment are roughly classified, as a first method, the steady work directly connected to the operation is a method of developing the screen from the touch panel on the CRT. In addition, as the second method, the unsteady work such as equipment maintenance, start-up after inspection / repair, and trial run are roughly classified into two methods, one is to operate by distinguishing from the screen development by the keyboard installed in the CRT device. It

The screen development from the touch panel on the CRT makes the screen structure a hierarchical structure as shown in FIGS. Then, as the first process, it is expanded to the detailed screen every time the hierarchy is lowered. Also, as the second process, in the first layer, the monitoring screen of the entire plant is basically used,
From this, we are expanding to each equipment screen and function screen.

In this case, the hierarchical structure is preferably 3 to 4 layers in consideration of operability, and each layer is preferably limited to 5 to 7 screens. By doing so, the operability can be further improved by setting the content of the screen displayed so that the operation can be performed in only one or two layers in the normal operation.

In FIG. 1, in the first layer group 1,
For example, the number of screens is about 1 to 2 and the screen for displaying the entire plant is mainly used as the monitoring screen. From here, expand to each equipment or function screen.

Further, in the second hierarchical group 2, the number of screens is about 5 to 7 and the monitoring or setting screens are classified by equipment or function. Partly, the window function is heavily used to improve operability. Further, when the details of the devices constituting each facility are displayed, the device portion in the second layer screen is touched with a finger to open the third layer screen 3.

In the third layer 3, a monitoring screen and a setting screen for details of the devices and functions that make up each facility are used, and grouping is performed so as to be composed of screens that are used relatively infrequently. In the third layer 3, for example, the number of screens is about 3 to 5.

Further, 4 in FIG. 1 is a method of developing a screen from a keyboard installed in a CRT device, which is a screen required for equipment start-up test or test run after equipment repair or inspection, or equipment maintenance, and is used in normal operation. Use screens that are used very rarely.

FIG. 2 shows the structure of the screen contents displayed on the CRT. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 5 is an area for displaying a plant screen to be monitored and operated by graphics or the like, and the screen is expanded from this area 5 to a lower hierarchy.
Further, 6 is an area for switching the CRT screen to a higher hierarchy, and 7 is an area for developing the screen in the same hierarchy.

In the present embodiment, for example, in the CRT operation in the operation of the converter equipment, the contents of the first hierarchy screen of FIG. 1 are configured as shown in FIG. 3 for monitoring the entire converter equipment. Further, the second hierarchy screen is composed of a lance / sublance screen, a OG equipment screen, a converter operation monitoring screen, etc. which constitute the converter equipment. As an example, the lance screen is shown in FIG.

First, after the CRT operation system is started up, the monitor screen for the entire converter equipment shown in FIG. 3, which is the first layer screen, is displayed. From this, the screens necessary for operation monitoring and facility operation are displayed on the CRT screen. Touch the graphic displayed above with your finger to switch to the required screen.

For example, in order to operate and monitor the lance equipment, when touching 8 of FIG. 3 displayed on the CRT screen with a finger, the lance equipment screen of FIG. 4 located in the second layer is displayed. Here, when the lance equipment is operated and monitored, and if it is desired to obtain detailed contents about the drive device in the lance equipment, if the user hits the finger 9 corresponding to the drive device in FIG. The screen switches to the third-level screen, which is the detailed content screen.

On the other hand, when the screen is expanded from the first layer of the entire equipment screen to the second layer of the lance equipment and it is desired to expand it to another screen of the same layer, it is in the area corresponding to 7 in FIG. Required screen development area, eg OG equipment (Fig. 4
By hitting No. 10), the screen can be expanded to the OG equipment screens in the same layer.

When the screen is expanded from the first layer of the entire equipment screen to the second layer of the lance equipment and it is desired to return to the first layer of the entire equipment screen again, an area corresponding to 6 in FIG. By hitting the screen development area (11 in FIG. 4) inside, the screen can be returned to the entire equipment screen of the first layer.

[0022]

As described above, according to the present invention, the screen required for explaining and monitoring the operation of the plant by the CRT operation is directly indicated on the plant screen graphically displayed on the CRT device. Since the desired screen can be easily switched, the CRT display screen can be quickly and definitely switched. In addition, since the displayed contents can be easily understood by displaying them graphically, it is not necessary to learn the operation method in particular, so that even an unskilled person can easily operate it, and the operation screen can be expanded. Time for education can be omitted.
