JPH09107642A - Repeating installation simulator with switch condition setting function - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To save time caused by manual operation and eliminate an erroneous setting in setting the condition of a switch in a repeating installation simulator which simulates sending and receiving information with a distributing system. SOLUTION: A distributing system 21 has a built-in capability (program A) to send the content of an operating procedures manual through network. A repeating installation simulator 22 has a built-in capability to read in the operating procedures manual and find the condition of a switch to be edited as a response of the switch in correspondence with the content of the read-in operating procedures manual and then to automatically set the condition of the switch as switch condition data.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a relay device simulator used for testing a power distribution system, and more particularly to a relay device simulator with a switch state setting function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A relay device simulator is a test device that simulates information transmission / reception with a power distribution system. An example thereof is configured as shown in FIG. FIG. 4A shows an actual distribution automation system, 1 is a distribution system, 2 is a relay device, 3
Is a control information transmission circuit (TC), and 4 is a power distribution system. The power distribution system 4 is configured, for example, as shown in FIG. FIG.
(B) shows the configuration when the relay device simulator 12 is used, and 20 is a terminal device.

In FIG. 4, a switch response is simulated and returned in response to a switch operation command from the power distribution system 1. This switch response includes a switch on / off state and a phase detection state.
When operating the switch in the power distribution system 1, it is necessary to set in advance the switch ON / OFF state and the phase detection state to be edited as the switch response in the relay device simulator 12. At present, this setting is manually performed for each switch (patching the switch state data of the switch from the terminal device 20 of the relay device simulator 12).

[0004]

When a switch operating procedure manual (a function of a power distribution system in which a plurality of switch operations are set in advance in order and executed continuously) is executed, the relay device simulator is operated. The state of all switches included in the procedure shall be set. At this time, the following problems occur.

(1) Switch operation can be set up to 99 procedures in the operation procedure manual. It is very time-consuming to manually set this switch state in the relay device simulator.

(2) Since it is a manual operation, the switch state is often set incorrectly.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to provide a relay device simulator with a switch state setting function, which saves labor by manual work and eliminates setting mistakes.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

(1) In order to solve the above problems, in the present invention, in a relay device simulator that simulates information transmission / reception with a power distribution system, the power distribution system side is provided with a function of sending the contents of an operation procedure manual via a network. On the side of the relay device simulator, the operation procedure manual is read, and the switch state to be edited as a switch response is obtained corresponding to the content of the read operation procedure manual, and is automatically set as switch state data. Characterized by having a function,
(2) The switch state is characterized in that it includes a switch on / off state and a phase detection state.

[0009]

The switch state to be edited as a switch response can be obtained from the operating procedure as follows. (1) If the operating procedure is turning on, enter the same phase. (2) If the operation procedure is open, it is set to off / phase detection unknown. (3) If the operation procedure is loop-on, enter the same phase. (4) If the operation procedure is open loop, turn off and put in phase.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of the present invention, in which 21 is a power distribution system and 22 is a relay device simulator. The power distribution system 21 includes a program A shown in FIG. 2 for reading the operation procedure manual and sending the contents to the relay device simulator 22 via the network. The relay device simulator 22 includes a program B shown in FIG. 3 for reading the sent operation procedure manual and setting switch state data.

[0011]

[Embodiment] In order to set the switch state in the relay device simulator 22 in the configuration as described above, first, the operation procedure manual is read by the program A in FIG. 2 (step S ₁ ), and the contents are read. It is sent to the relay device simulator 22 via the network (step S ₂ ). Next, according to the program B of FIG. 3, the contents of the operation procedure manual are received (step S ₁ ), the procedure manual is read step by step (steps S ₂ and S ₃ ), and the switch to be edited as a switch response is opened and closed. the processing vessel condition determined by (1) to (4), sets the switch state data (step _{S 4, S 5, S 6} , S 7). Thereby, the switch state of the relay device simulator 22 can be automatically set.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, in the relay device simulator simulating the information transmission / reception with the power distribution system, the power distribution system side is provided with a function of sending the contents of the operation procedure manual via the network. On the relay device simulator side, the operation procedure manual is read, and the switch state to be edited as a switch response is obtained corresponding to the content of the read operation procedure manual, and is automatically set as switch state data. Since it has a function to do so, the following excellent effects can be obtained.

(1) Since the switch state of the relay device simulator is automatically set, the trouble of manual work is eliminated. (2) Since the switch state is automatically set, there is no mistake.
