2. Description of the Related Art For example, in a system for monitoring and operating a thermal power plant, an operator device using a CRT or the like synthesizes various process quantities input from a plant and plant monitoring screen information stored in advance in a computer. The method of monitoring and operating the plant state is performed by the screen displayed as follows.

FIG. 12 is an overall configuration diagram of a conventional operation device using an electronic computer and a CRT input / output device.
The data updating means 2a periodically inputs the process amount from the plant 1 and updates the process amount data table 2b. The input means 2c is an input device 2f such as a touch screen.
The operator's request input by the operator is transmitted to the function processing means 2d.

The function processing means 2d determines the function requested by the operator based on the data transmitted from the input means 2c. If this request is a plant equipment operation request, the plant device / operation screen 2h and the plant equipment information 2i are displayed. Referring to the data updating means 2a, a plant equipment operation output request is issued. When the request is a plant monitoring function request, the plant monitoring / operation screen 2h and the process amount data table 2b are referred to, and output data corresponding to the function requested by the operator is created and transmitted to the output means 2e.

The output means 2e outputs the output data transmitted from the function processing means 2d to the display device 2g such as a CRT. As a result, the operator 3 monitors and operates the plant on the screen obtained by the display device 2g.

[0006]

The above-mentioned conventional apparatus monitors and operates the plant based on the screen information of the display unit, leaves the operator as a memo based on the information obtained from the screen, and informs other operators of matters. Was done in the form of writing it in a notebook or the like. That is, instead of the screen normally used for plant monitoring / operation, information is exchanged with the operator using another medium such as a notebook. There was a problem that it was difficult to correspond where it was displayed on the screen, and information was not accurately transmitted.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and enables an operator to directly set memo screen information in a free format on a screen normally used for plant monitoring and operation. An object of the present invention is to provide a memo screen table for storing memo screen information set by an operator, and to provide an operation device capable of being combined and displayed when a plant monitoring / operation screen is displayed.

[0008]

The present invention is provided with a memo screen table for storing information set by an operator as screen data, and an interactive means which is a man-machine necessary for the operator to set the screen data. When the monitoring / operation screen is displayed, the memo screen information set by the operator and the plant monitoring / operation screen are combined and displayed.

[0009]

[Function] Since memos are combined with the plant monitoring / operation screen and displayed, the fact that information was recorded on other media such as a notebook in the past means that memo information can be directly displayed on the screen normally used for plant monitoring. Can be set, and information can be exchanged between the operator himself and the operator on the screen.
