Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an equipment management system for managing equipment, and more particularly to a training apparatus for equipment management system for artificially changing the state of each equipment and training the operation of the equipment management system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A system for monitoring and controlling facilities such as buildings and underground malls, a so-called facility management system, displays the state of each facility notified from a monitoring terminal connected to the facility on a console in a monitoring room. However, in the monitoring room, the operator manually controls the equipment from the console or the system control unit automatically controls the equipment according to the operation status.

In such a facility management system, even if a certain type of abnormality occurs, the operator can operate the facility and the control unit in the management system can automatically control it to safely operate the facility in the building or underground mall. You can

[0004] Such a system often requires training using actual equipment because of the need for operator operation and operation proficiency. However, some of the equipment is very important and the operation of the equipment greatly affects the operation of the facility.
It is impossible for an unskilled operator to arbitrarily operate such equipment. This made it difficult for the operator to master it.

In order to assist such operator's learning, a function dedicated to training may be incorporated in the system. The system incorporating this training function allowed the operator to become proficient and helped to operate the system safely.

[0006] In addition to the method of using the system incorporating the training function described above, there is also a method of providing special training equipment and using the apparatus during training. In other words, dedicated hardware for training is provided, equipment data (points, screens) dedicated to training is created, operations are defined only by the training-specific data, and status display and operation-based training are performed.

[0007]

In the case of incorporating the training-dedicated function of the facility management system described above, the amount of equipment installed for the training and the amount of work for creating data are large, and the load at the time of system construction is large. It was. For example, it is necessary to provide an actual management facility, that is, a training address pointer table corresponding to an actual point address. If the system to be managed is large, the training address pointer table will also be large. It was a load. In addition, since the monitoring information for training (hereinafter, training points) and the monitoring information for actual equipment (hereinafter, actual points) both use system resources, there is a problem that the capacity of the actual points is pressed. It was

Further, even when the training point is changed, there is a problem that it cannot be changed without stopping the online system. That is, there are problems that the system needs to be stopped at the time of exchanging data and that the work for specially defining the training points increases.

Further, when a device dedicated to training is installed, there is a problem that the installation requires a great deal of cost because it is dedicated. An object of the present invention is to provide a training device for an equipment management system that enables easy training.

[0010]

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the principle of the present invention. The present invention relates to a facility management system that manages signals relating to a facility based on a real point address, that is, a real point table 1 that stores actual information that is a real address parameter for each facility and controls the state of the facility. is there.

The virtual point table 2 stores a virtual point address for a state instructed in a training scenario and a real point address related thereto.
The contents of this table are created by the training management means 3 described later.

The training management means 3 obtains an actual point address related to the state designated in the scenario, sets a virtual point address relating to the state, and stores it in the virtual point table 2. Further, referring to the real point table 1, the state is changed to the state instructed by the real address parameter for the address.
Further, when a signal is input from the equipment, a control signal for changing the real address of the equipment to the state instructed by the real address parameter is output to the equipment.

Further, the online processing means 4 turns off the control to the equipment when a scenario related to training is added. Further, the training management means 3 stops the training when an important signal is input from the equipment. Due to this suspension, the facility management system proceeds with normal management.

[0014]

The equipment management system normally refers to the real address stored in the real point table, that is, the real address parameter for the equipment (state information relating to the equipment), and also based on the information operated by the operator. Manage equipment.

At the time of training, the training management means 3 operates to find the actual point address related to the state instructed in the inputted scenario, that is, the virtual point address, by referring to the actual point table 1. Then, referring to the real address parameter for the real point address, the state is controlled for the inputted scenario.

Further, when the operator operates, it also controls the change of the state related thereto. The state in the training managing means 3 is input / output to / from a display device, a keyboard, etc., and the control signal for changing to the state instructed by the above-mentioned real address parameter is the online processing means 4.
Since it is not output more, the equipment is not controlled by training and there is no effect on others.

By the processing of this training management means 3, the operator can be trained in the same operation as that actually occurring. Further, it is possible to prevent the abnormality of the equipment due to the malfunction of the operator without controlling the actual equipment for it.

[0018]

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a system configuration diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. The equipment management system 10 includes a computer system 11 connected to a signal line connected to equipment to be managed, a CRT connected to the computer system 11 for displaying a message to an operator, and a keyboard (KB) for giving instructions to a control system and the like. ) And an input / output device 12.

The computer system 11 includes a scenario determination / progress processing unit 13, a training processing unit 14 having a training management unit 15, a table memory 18 including a virtual point table 17 and an actual point table 18, and an online processing unit 1.
9. The system management unit 24.

At the time of normal management, the system management unit 24 controls each unit, the signal input from the connected equipment is analyzed by the online processing unit 19 which will be described later, and the actual point table 18 is referred to. Display the current status to the operator. Actual point table 1
8 stores a tag name of the state of the equipment managed for the actual point address and information such as continuous operation at that time.

The scenario determination / progress processing unit 13 inputs a scenario 20 such as an abnormal state created based on the training contents of an operator who needs training, for example, what an abnormal condition is, and how to proceed. Control. The scenario is such that, when a specific input changes, another specific control is turned on, for example, to change the state of the device that outputs the signal to another state.

The training processing unit 14 has a training management unit 15. The training management unit 15 requests a display related to training, which will be described later, and a display of a change in state due to an operator's operation of the keyboard (KB). Further, the training management unit 15 creates the virtual point table 17 from the input scenario 20. The virtual point table 17 is a table that associates virtual point addresses with real point addresses. Based on the correspondence between the virtual point address of the virtual point table 17 and the actual point address, the actual point parameter in the actual point table is referred to and the change or the current state with respect to the operation is displayed on the input / output device 12.

In the case of training, it is necessary that no matter what operation the operator does, the actual system is not affected, and the training facility information is not affected by the state change of the actual system. For this reason, the virtual points described above are used in the embodiment of the present invention.

The online processing unit 19 is composed of an online management unit 22 and an actual point management unit 21. Normally, when the system management unit 24 is operating, it controls the equipment for normal management. The online management unit 22 updates the actual point state when there is a change in equipment. Also,
The actual point management unit 21 monitors the actual point information storage area. When the training processing unit 14 operates, the online processing unit 19 stops accepting control information from the training processing unit 14. At this time, the system management unit 24 stops the control operation.

No control signals should be sent to the management facility when the training processor 14 is operating. because,
This is because the training processing unit 14 is currently executing, not the actual operation. For this reason, the online processing unit 1
9 does not accept the control information from the training processing unit 14. Note that these controls are performed by the online management unit 22 and the actual point management unit 21. On the other hand, in the training mode, that is, when the training processing unit 14 is operating, when an important alarm is notified from the facility or the like to the online processing unit 19, the online processing unit 19 instructs the training processing unit 14 to perform the training. Request the forced termination of training.

In the training mode, the training processing unit 14 receives the forced termination request of the training, stops the control of the input / output device 12 related to the training and the management of the actual points of the training pair, and instructs the online processing unit 19 to perform the training. Signals the end of mode. When this training mode ends, normal equipment management is performed. With such forced termination of training, training can be performed even when facility management is being performed.

On the other hand, in the training mode, the defined virtual point is compensated for the same operation as the actual point on the actual system, and the loopback state is also obtained when the defined virtual point is controlled. Reproduce. For this reason, a management area separate from the actual points for the status of the training management points will be provided for status management.

Computer system 11 of the embodiment of FIG.
In the above description, the training processing unit 14 is always resident, but the scenario determination progress processing unit 13 and the training processing unit 14,
The training management unit 15 may be loaded in the training, that is, may be incorporated in the system.

The training in the facility management system described above will be described in detail below. In response to an instruction from the operator to start the training simulation, the training processing unit 14
Is incorporated into the computer system, and the training processing unit 14
Notifies the online processing unit 19 of the start of training.
Upon receiving this training start notification, the online processing unit 19
Stops the information from the equipment in the online processing unit 19 except for important alarms. Further, the training processing unit 14 uses the input / output device 12
Other than that, the information related to the operation of the keyboard (KB), that is, the operation of the operator is not notified to the online processing unit 19 or the processing unit related to normal control. This allows the system to display only on the CRT and operate the virtual equipment by the keyboard KB based on the input scenario.

When the scenario determination / progress processing unit 13 acquires the information set in the scenario 20, if the state of the virtual points needs to be changed in relation to the acquired information, the training processing unit 14 is notified of the virtual points. And send the specified status.

The training processing unit 14 to which the virtual points and the information on the designated state are input changes the state of the virtual points.
At this time, the changed state of the virtual point is displayed by the input / output device 12
To display. It should be noted that the training management unit 15 displays the information regarding the change of these states and further the display. Then, the training processing unit 14 notifies the scenario determination / progress processing unit 13 of the change in the state of the virtual point due to the operation. The scenario determination / progress processing unit 13 advances the scenario according to the criteria set for the scenario and the subsequent operation contents.

When a virtual point is a trigger and there is a real point that works in cooperation, the training management section in the training processing section 14 takes a correspondence between this virtual point and another virtual point. , Generate new virtual points.

On the other hand, at the end of the training, the training processing unit 14 stops the management of the input / output device 12 and the actual points, and notifies the online processing unit 19 of the training end. The online processing unit 19 shifts to the online mode at the end of the training,
The information from the equipment is reflected in the system.

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the operation in the case of the operation showing the normal actual points. If the equipment changes due to some change (X1), the online processing unit 19 receives the status change information (X2), and the online management unit 22 updates the actual point status (X3). By this update, the point information in the point information storage area is rewritten (X4).

On the other hand, the actual point status management unit 21 monitors the point information storage area (X5), notifies the online management unit 22 of the display information corresponding to the changed point information, and the online management unit 22 uses the CRT. To the status display (X6). That is, the online management unit 2
2 outputs code data to be displayed on the CRT 12 of the input / output device 12, and the CRT 12 displays the code (X7).
To do.

When the operator operates the keyboard of the input / output device 12 (X8), the information is transmitted to the online management unit 22, and the online management unit 22 gives an instruction of the equipment state of the equipment corresponding to the actual point (X9). . By this instruction, equipment status change information is transmitted (X10),
The equipment receives the information and changes (X11).

When the state change information of the equipment corresponding to the change, that is, the reaction information is received (X12), the online management unit 22 updates the actual point state (X1).
3) Then, the information in the point information storage area is rewritten (X14).

The actual point state management unit 21 constantly monitors the change in the actual point state and notifies the online management unit of the change (X15). The online management unit 22 controls to display the status on the CRT of the input / output device 12 (X16). Then, the state is displayed (X17) on the CRT of the input / output device 12.

By the above-mentioned operations, the state of equipment is changed, the equipment is controlled by an operator, and the state change is displayed in response to the control. By such control, those facilities can be managed under normal conditions.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory view of the control operation at the start of training. When a training start is instructed from the keyboard of the input / output device 12, the training management unit 15 sends a training start notification to the input / output device 12.
Instruct the CRT to start training (X20) and notify the online management unit 22 of the training mode transition (X20).
21). The CRT of the input / output device 12 displays that the training is in progress (X22). Further, the online management unit 22 shifts to the training mode (S23). Then, the training online management unit 22 temporarily abandons the system management right (X2
4). By temporarily abandoning the system management right, the training management unit 15 acquires the system management right (X25), and subsequent management is performed by the training management unit 15.

At this time, if, for example, a facility change occurs in a normal state, the state change information indicates the online processing unit 1
Although it is received at 9 (X27), since it is in the normal state, it is determined that there is no change in points (X28). These controls are performed by the online management unit 22. on the other hand,
In the embodiment of the present invention, when an emergency facility change occurs, the system management right is forcibly abandoned by the training management unit 15 and acquired by the online management unit 22. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of a training end sequence when the equipment state changes.

When the equipment change is urgent (X30),
The online processing unit 19 receives the state change information (X3
1) Notify the online management unit 22. The online management unit 22 notifies the training management unit 15 of the training end notification due to the emergency state change (X32). By this notification, the training management unit 15 ends the training and abandons the system management (X33). Then, the input / output device 12
Is displayed on the CRT (X34).

Although the training is completed by the series of operations described above, the online management unit 22 gives the system management right (X35) after notifying the training completion notification (X32) for the emergency state change, and The actual point state is updated (X36) due to the reception of the state change information of. By this update, the information is rewritten in the point information storage area (X37). In addition, at this time, the state of the pair of real points managed by other virtual points is updated in parallel with the current state of the equipment.

The actual point status management unit 22 detects the change due to this rewriting, and the online management unit 22 detects the change.
(X38), and the online management unit 22 instructs the CRT of the input / output device 12 to display it (X39). Then, the CRT of the input / output device 12 displays the actual point state (X40).

With the above changes, in an emergency, the training can be forcibly ended and the equipment change can be displayed. Further, since the training has been completed together with the display, the operator can take the measures against the emergency so that the normal operation can be performed even during the training.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of the end of training by operation. When the operator outputs a training end operation (X41) to the training management unit 15 using the keyboard of the input / output device, the training management unit 15 abandons the system management right (X42),
The online management unit 22 is notified of the acquisition of the system management right of the online management unit 22 (X43), and the CRT of the input / output device 12 is instructed to display the training end, and the CRT is displayed.
Displays the end of the training (X44). The training ends with the above instructions.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory view of a state during training and an operation. When the scenario is selected from the keyboard of the input / output device 12 (X50), the training management unit 15 reads the instructed scenario (X51) and updates the point state corresponding to the read scenario (X52).
Then, the point state is rewritten in the point information storage area (X53). There are two types of point information storage areas for real points and virtual points, and virtual points are used during this training. Actual point status management unit 2
Since No. 1 monitors the actual point state storage area and does not monitor the virtual point information storage area, it is determined that there is no change during training.

On the other hand, the training management section 15 monitors the point state change by rewriting the point state (X54), and instructs the CRT to display this change (X55). By this instruction, the CRT of the input / output device 12 displays the point state (X56).

For example, when the point operation corresponding to the scenario is performed (X57), the X management unit 15 updates the point state corresponding to the operation (X58) and rewrites the point state in the point information storage area (X).
59).

Further, the training management unit 15 monitors the change of the point state (X60), gives an instruction of the display for the change of the point state (X61), and the CRT of the input / output device 12 makes the indicated point state. Is displayed (X6
2) Do. This condition determination for updating the point state is stored in the scenario, and the training management unit 15 makes a determination based on the condition X63 read from the scenario, and reads the next scenario based on the result (X64). After that, the same process as the scenario reading is repeated in the same manner.

By the above operation, the training management section 15 sequentially carries out the training, and even if there is a normal change during the above-mentioned training, since it is a change in the normal state, there is no point change.

FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram of the operation of the training management section 15. The training management unit 15 defines all the virtual points. When training, the operator defines the actual points in the scenario. At this time, if there is a real point that the virtual point is a trigger and cooperates, the training management unit 15
Creates a new virtual point by correlating this virtual point with another virtual point.

When the state change designation of the scenario 20 is input to the training management unit 15 via the scenario determination / progress processing unit 13, the interlocking data stored in the actual point table 18 is referred to and the virtual points in operation are set. It is generated in the virtual point table 17.

At the time of training, the training management unit 15 uses the virtual point management area to display, for example, an abnormal state related to the scenario on the actual screen of the input / output device 12. At this time,
As shown in FIG. 8, the signal input from the equipment is stored in the actual point state management unit 21, and the state is managed by the online management unit 22, but the online management unit 22 only performs the management processing at the actual point. Further, since the online management unit 22 and the training management unit 15 do not transmit information, the results of those controls are not reflected in the display on the input / output device 12. That is, the actual point state management unit 21 and the online management unit 22 of the online processing unit 19 are not reflected in the training processing unit 14. In addition, for example, even when the operator performs an erroneous operation, the training management unit 15
Since no information is transmitted from the online processing unit 19 to the online processing unit 19, even if an abnormality occurs on the screen, the abnormality does not actually occur.

In other words, since the point state storage area is not used during the training, the control information regarding the operation during the training is not added to the actual equipment, and it can be dedicated to the training.

FIG. 9 is a more detailed operation explanatory diagram of the training management section 15. The scenario 20 indicates the actual point address, that is, the state of the equipment, and the scenario is input to the training management unit 15. The training management unit 15 generates a virtual point address for the instructed real point address of this scenario and creates a virtual point table 17.

The virtual point is information having only its own address information and the address of the real point of the cooperation destination, and by defining the address of the real point to be linked, the parameters defined by the real point are inherited. Then, the parameter inheritance is performed by the training management unit 15 referring to the actual point of the cooperation destination.

The training management unit 15 further refers to the actual point parameter for the virtual point address from the virtual point table 17 to obtain the actual point parameter 18. Then, the control process corresponding to the actual point parameter is performed. In the control at this time, normally, the online processing unit 19 uses the actual point state management area 2
1 is used for online management 22, but during training,
The management control information from the training management unit 15 is not output to the online management 22 of the online processing unit 19, and the control is closed within the training management.

FIG. 10 is a detailed explanatory diagram of virtual points. If the above-mentioned scenario 20 is an instruction of the operation of the fire alarm (ALM) by the operator's input,
The training management unit 15 uses the actual point parameter 18 that is the contents of the scenario 20, that is, the fire alarm H1 and the linked data.
To define virtual points. By this definition, the virtual point in operation shown in FIG. 9 is fixed. In addition,
This virtual point is defined by the virtual point table and the actual point table.

That is, the scenario 20 designates a real point address, the training management section 15 creates a virtual point address for the real point address, and creates a virtual point address and a real point address in the virtual point table 17.
The actual point address points to the actual point address in the actual point table 18, and the actual point parameter is obtained from the address, resulting in a virtual point in operation. This actual point parameter is, for example, when the fire alarm H1 operates (ALM), the output is FE-1 OFF, FS-5 OFF, AC
The control operation is performed so that -2 is turned off. Also,
During execution of this scenario, the display message is displayed on the screen of the input / output device 12.

When other equipment, that is, the real address pointer is controlled by the above-mentioned control, the virtual address point for the other equipment is set and stored in the virtual point address.

In the above-described embodiment of the present invention, the virtual point table 17 stores the virtual point address and the real point address in association with each other, and the virtual point table 17 and the real point table 18 are referred to for the operation. The above virtual point, that is, the virtual point address and the actual point parameter are associated with each other, but the invention is not limited to this. For example, in the virtual point table 17, a pointer that points to the virtual point address and the tag name and the attribute address of the actual point may be used.

FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram of another embodiment of virtual point generation. A virtual point generation processing unit 15-1 is provided in the training management unit 15 described above, and in the virtual point generation processing unit 15-1, when the scenario 20 is added, information in the scenario 20, for example, a tag name. Then, the real point address in the real point table 18 is obtained.

Addresses, tag names, attributes, etc. are stored in the actual point information storage area in the actual point table 18, and the virtual point table 17 is created by referring to this actual point table 18 and the tag names and their actual points are created. Are stored in association with a pointer indicating the attribute address of the. For example, if the tag name is the alarm of the fire alarm, the virtual point generation processing unit 15-1 stores the alarm of the fire alarm having the name in the virtual point information temporary area, that is, the virtual point table 17, and Stores a pointer that indicates the attribute address of the real point in the real point table. FE-1: OFF, FS-5: OF in the area pointed to by this pointer
F, AC-2: OFF is stored.

Since the attribute is m bytes after the address and the tag name are stored, the pointer indicating the attribute address of the actual point is xn times from a certain head address O, and m + O + xn + m. Is a pointer indicating the attribute address.

FIG. 7 is a processing flowchart of the embodiment of the present invention. In the above-described embodiment, the training processing unit 14 is not made to be resident, but is loaded only at the time of training, but in FIG. 7, it is made resident for the sake of explanation. Processing starts when an event occurs due to a scenario, equipment, or key operation.

First, it is determined in step 1 whether or not it is training. When it is not training (N), an actual management process is performed in step S2. This management process is a process for an abnormality notification from the facility or a key operation by the operator. For example, if the ALM signal of the fire report H1 is generated, it is automatically controlled or the like. In this process, an actual pointer table is used to create output information such as control and display.

Following step S2, the processing result is output to the online processing section 19 in step S3. The state to be controlled is output by this output, and the online processing unit 1
At 9, the control operation is performed.

Then, in step S4, the message is displayed to the operator. For example, in the case of the ALM signal generation of the fire report H1 described above, a fire occurrence notification and a control confirmation request are issued. Then, the one-time processing ends.

When the operator operates this display, N is again set in step S1, and step S2 is executed. By executing this step S2, management processing for the response of the operator is performed. Then, in step S3, the output result to the online processing unit 19 for the operation is output, and in step S4, the output result is displayed. The facilities are sequentially managed by the above processing procedure.

On the other hand, when the training is performed, step S1
In step S5, it is determined whether or not there is a virtual pointer for the event. That is, it is determined whether the virtual point address and the real point address have already been associated with each other. When the virtual pointer does not exist (N), the correspondence is obtained in step S6 and registered in the virtual pointer table.

When it is determined in step S5 that there is a virtual pointer (Y) or after step S6 is executed, training management processing is performed in step S7. This management process is the process related to FIGS. 2 to 11 described above, and is the same as the actual management process of step S2 except that the virtual pointer table is used.

After step S7, the output of the result is displayed in step S4. After the actual management processing in step S2, the processing result output to the online processing unit 19 in step S3 is performed, or the training management processing S
In the case of 7, no such output is made. because,
This is because the training management process S7 is closed.

Since the output display processing in step S4 and the actual pointer table are always used, the management itself in step S7 is close to the actual management processing in step S2, and is used in common with the actual management processing. The training management process 7 is small when loaded into the computer, as there are also processes that can be done.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart of generation of virtual points in training management. In FIG. 12, an event occurs due to a key operation or the like, and training management processing corresponding to the event is sequentially performed. On the other hand, FIG.
Is to extract and explain only the processing at the virtual pointer.

When the processing is started, it is first determined in step S11 whether the training is started or updated. When the training is started, the scenario is read in step S12. After updating or creating in step S11 or reading the scenario in step S12, the points of the scenario are acquired in step S13.
Then, in step S14, it is determined whether or not the virtual points have the same points. When there is no same point in the virtual points, it is determined in step S15 whether or not there is the same point that has been taken in as the actual point, and when there is no same point, an error is displayed in step S10, and the virtual pointer is released in step S19 and the entire processing ends. To do. At this time, there is a case where the target system and the system to be trained are different, and even if the process is continued, that is, the training is meaningless, the whole process is ended.

On the other hand, when there is the same point in the actual points (Y), a pointer is generated in the virtual point in step S16, and a process of assigning the actual point in the virtual address is performed in step S17. Then, in step S18, it is determined whether or not the scenario is completed. If the scenario is not completed (N), the points of the scenario are acquired in step S13 and the above-described operation is repeated again. By the above processing, the pointer of the real point to the virtual point is added to the area in the virtual point area, and the correspondence is established.

The training management section 15 always refers to this point, and when a change occurs, the pointer is changed again by a corresponding display, an instruction from the keyboard, or the like.
Further changes are displayed in response to the changes, and the training is continued. In FIG. 13, the flow is shown focusing only on the correspondence to the change of the pointer.

FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram of all processes of the training apparatus of the present invention. When training starts, step S20
The scenario is read in and the screen display and status change corresponding to the scenario are performed in steps S21 and S22. Then, in step S23, the monitoring timer is operated.

Judgment conditions corresponding to the state changes of the points F1 to Fn are provided corresponding to the respective points, and these are judged in step S24. That is, if the operator performs the corresponding condition, it is determined here whether it is correct or not (true or false). Then, it is determined in step S25 whether the processed scenario is the final scenario, and when it is not the final scenario, the scenario corresponding to the designation of true or false is read in step S26, and the display arrangement change corresponding to it is again performed in the step. The processing is performed in steps S21 and S22, and the same processing is repeated. If the final scenario is determined in step S25, the training ends.

Due to the above-described process changes, the operator's operation corresponding to each state change and the next scenario corresponding to the operation of the operator are continued, and the operator can be trained. The scenario provides further changes, in particular in response to operator actions, so that it is possible to train any kind of condition.

FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram of a scenario. In the scenario, the point name, the state change value, and the interval time at which they occur are set, and the actual point state is changed from these states. Further, a display text is provided in the scenario, and a display such as “A delta has occurred in xx” is displayed in the area designated by the display instruction corresponding to the display screen number.

Further, determination conditions corresponding to these are provided corresponding to the point names. For example, the determination conditions corresponding to the point names P _{1 to} P ₅ are ON, ON, O.
N, OFF,> 50.0, etc. are stored, and become true when the operator gives the same instruction, and false when the operator makes a different determination. Since the scenario number when the operation is true and the scenario number when the operation is false are set in the scenario, the process goes to the next scenario according to the conditions. The time for determining the condition corresponding to such one scenario is provided in advance, and
The setting in the monitoring timer S23 shown in FIG. 4 is to set this condition determination time. When the condition determination time is exceeded, although not indicated in FIG. 14, for example, a time-out or the like is displayed and the process proceeds again from the same state scenario.

FIG. 16 is an explanatory diagram of corresponding changes in the above-mentioned scenario. It is assumed that the normal state is displayed on the display D1. When the state of the points is changed by changing the state of the scenario, for example, when the alarm of F1 is turned on, the display of D2 is displayed, and the display state is changed to D3 by the operator's operation corresponding thereto. This change determines whether the scenario at that time is true or false, and moves to the next scenario.

The present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments.
The present invention is not limited to this. For example, the definition data of the correspondence between the virtual point and the real point, which are the substance of the virtual point, is separated, but it is also possible to provide the area of the virtual point in the parameter of each point and start the same.

[0086]

As described above, according to the present invention, training can be carried out at a level equivalent to that in actual operation, and the skill of the operator can be easily improved. In addition, since there is no need for equipment dedicated to training and no data dedicated to training is used, there is no increase in equipment or work due to the introduction of training simulation. Furthermore, since virtual points do not affect the actual system, the points can be changed. Even if there is, there is no need to stop the system, and training can be performed easily.
