DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the construction and operation of an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.
In FIG. 1, a device 1 is a device to be monitored, and is, for example, a transmission device of a station. These devices 1 output various information in parallel as ground contact data by turning ON / OFF a plurality of contacts, or serially connect the contacts of a plurality of devices 1 and sequentially output as serial data from each contact. To do.

The contact input section 21 takes in ON / OFF signals in parallel from a plurality of contacts of the apparatus 1 as ground contact data. The contact input unit 22 serially connects the contacts of the plurality of devices 1 and turns ON / OFF from each contact.
The OFF signal is serially taken in as serial data.

The conversion unit 23 converts the ground contact data and serial data fetched by the contact input units 21 and 22 into code data (for example, CAPNET code data in FIG. 4) with reference to the conversion table 24. .

The conversion table 24 is a table in which code data (for example, CAPNET code data in FIG. 4) is registered in advance in association with the ground contact data or serial data.

The various line input / output processing units 25 are connected to the monitoring device 3
Data is transmitted and received between the monitor and the device via a line, and here, for example, the code data converted by the conversion unit 23 is transmitted to the monitoring device 3 via the line.

The external tester 26 gives various signals from the outside and receives the results to perform various tests.
The monitoring device 3 receives and displays the code data from the conversion device 2, and collectively monitors the state of the device 1.

Next, the operation of the configuration of FIG. 1 will be described in detail in the order shown in the flowchart of FIG. Here, the transmission device 11 is an example of the device 1. In FIG. 2, S1
Determines whether a failure has occurred. This determines whether or not some failure has occurred in the transmission device 11, which is the device 1 of FIG. 1, and the contact has been switched to ON / OFF in response to the failure. Y
In the case of ES, in S2, the transmission device 11, which is the device 1 in which the failure has occurred, switches the contact to either the ON or OFF failure occurrence state and notifies the conversion device 2.

In step S3, code conversion is performed. This is because the contact input unit 21 of the conversion device 2 that received the notification in S2 takes in the ground contact data in parallel, or the contact input unit 22 takes in the ON / OFF of the contact of the transmission device 11 as serial data and converts it. The conversion table 2 for the ground contact data or serial data captured by the unit 23
4 is converted into code data (for example, CAPNET code), that is, the failure location is converted into code data by referring to the conversion table 24. At this time, a time stamp (year, month, day, time) is added.

In step S4, the failure information bit string (code data) converted in step S3 is transmitted to the monitoring device 3. In S5, the failure information bit string (code data) transmitted from the monitoring device 3 is received, and the failure information and the time stamp are collectively displayed. The supervisor views the displayed fault information and time stamp, and analyzes the faulty transmission device 11 and the fault content. At this time, the ground contact data and serial data are displayed together with the details of the failure and the time stamp. Therefore, if they were displayed separately in the past, one of them may be overlooked or the failure may be erroneously analyzed. It's gone.

Data converted to failure information with reference to 4 (a failure information bit string converted so that the failure location and its contents can be recognized in the bit position and 0/1 state)
Generates code data with a time stamp attached to it, transmits the code data to the monitoring device 3, and the monitoring device 3 receiving the code data displays the fault location and its content and the time stamp together in an easy-to-understand manner from the code data. To do.
The observer who sees these can recognize what kind of failure has occurred at what part of the transmission device 11 and at what time, and can analyze the failure appropriately and deal with it.

FIG. 3 shows a system configuration diagram of the present invention.
In FIG. 3, stations 1 and 2 are stations such as relay stations.
The transmission device 11 is a transmission device provided in the stations 1 and 2.
This transmission device 11 is usually provided in a plurality of stations 1 and 2, and is an example of the device 1 of FIG.
It is composed of 2, 13, and 14. Multiplexer 1
2, 13, and 14 are low-speed multiplexers, high-speed multiplexers, and the like.

The conversion device 2 is the conversion device 2 of FIG. 1, and is a multiplexing device 12, 13, 14 that constitutes the transmission device 11.
For example, the ON / OFF state of the contact such as is taken in as ground contact data, the conversion table 24 is referred to, the code data is converted and a time stamp is added, and the data is transmitted to the monitoring device 3. Here, the multiplexer 12,
The contacts 13 and 14 are serially connected, and the ON / OFF state of each contact is taken in as serial data in a sequential equation.

The monitoring device 3 collectively displays the failure content, failure location, and time stamp based on the code data transmitted from the conversion device 2. By looking at this display, the observer can collectively recognize the location of the failed device, the failure content, and the time stamp.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a failure bit string (with a time stamp) according to the present invention. This is a schematic representation of the failed bit string (code data) after being converted by the conversion unit 23 of the conversion device 2 of FIG. 1 described above, and is actually a 0/1 bit string. The position of this bit string and 0/1 make it possible to recognize what kind of failure has occurred in which device. Moreover, since the time stamp is added to each record, the time when the failure occurs can be known.

[0027]

As described above, according to the present invention,
The ground contact data of a large number of contact information and the serial data sequentially collected from each contact in which the contacts of a plurality of devices are serially connected are both converted into a code and then transmitted to the monitoring device 3, and the monitoring device also outputs these codes. Since it adopts a configuration that collectively displays the failure information in and, it is possible to collectively display and monitor the contents of the ground contact data and serial data from the contacts of the monitored device. It became so. Further, it is possible to add a time stamp to the code data and display the details of the failure in association with the time stamp on the monitoring device side. These have made it possible to:

All devices (eg transmission devices) can be monitored by one terminal of the monitoring device. According to the present invention, there are two conventional monitoring devices for ground contact data and a monitoring device for serial data.
One monitoring device is enough.

Since only one monitoring device is required, the line used for the other one monitoring device becomes unnecessary. Since the two monitoring devices have become one monitoring device, only one operation and monitoring of the monitoring device is required, which is easy.
