Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention comprises a central monitoring device having a central processing unit, and a plurality of terminal devices communicatively connected to the central monitoring device via a communication line and having a terminal processing unit. The present invention relates to a remote monitoring device in which a central monitoring device monitors building equipment of a building in which a terminal device is installed via the terminal device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A remote monitoring system device for monitoring building equipment such as an elevator installed in a building and detecting an abnormality thereof is usually a center device in which an observer is resident and a plurality of terminals for monitoring the building facility. It is composed of a device, and information transmission such as data transmission between the both is performed via a telephone line. A storage device is provided in each of the center device and the terminal device, and unique information such as a telephone number of the other party necessary for mutual communication and a management number for specifying the other party is stored therein. By the way, when newly installing a terminal device for monitoring building equipment, it is necessary to store unique information in a storage device possessed by the terminal device, but the work of registering such information at the time of installation is a complicated task. In addition, there is a risk of erroneous input due to a registration operation error. Therefore, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 270498/1990, by the registration operation by the operator on the side of the center device, the unique information to be held by the terminal device is transmitted to the terminal device via the telephone line. As a result, a registration device has been already proposed which can be set and registered in the storage device of the terminal device.

[0003]

By the way, the building equipment,
For example, it is not uncommon for a high-performance modification to partially enhance the function of an elevator or a terminal device attached to an elevator, but the program of the terminal device is also modified during the modification work. When the program of the terminal device is modified, the worker informs the operator of the center device that the program of the terminal device has been modified by telephone etc., and the center device side also notifies the modified program of the terminal device. The operator must input the information from the input device so that the matched program can be started. Even if the frequency of such work is low, if it occurs frequently, this input work may be a non-steady work for the operator of the center device, which is very troublesome work. The present invention has been made to solve the above problems in the prior art, and when the control procedure of the terminal processing unit is changed, the unique information stored in the unique information storage means included in the terminal device. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a remote monitoring device which can prevent the operation of changing and setting the central monitoring device from becoming impossible and can surely change and set the unique information stored in the unique information storage means.

[0004]

According to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a central monitoring device discriminates type data characterizing a control procedure of a terminal arithmetic processing unit provided in a terminal device,
The central monitoring device is provided with control procedure selection setting means for selectively setting the control procedure of the central processing unit corresponding to the control procedure of the terminal processing unit.

[0005]

When the central processing unit is activated, the control procedure selection setting means discriminates the type data characterizing the control procedure of the terminal processing unit, and sets the control procedure of the central processing unit corresponding to the control procedure of the terminal processing unit. Select and set. Therefore, when the control procedure of the terminal processing unit is changed, the central monitoring unit can change and set the unique information stored in the unique information storage means included in the terminal device.
