Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent an auxiliary machine different from an intention from being operated erroneously at the time of performing a selection operation of the auxiliary machine. SOLUTION: This portable machine-side operating device 1 sends an operation command which selects and operates a No.1 cooling water pump 5, a No.2 cooling water pump 6, etc., to a set starter panel 3. Bar codes 5a and 6a are attached to each pump 5 and 6. The device 1 is provided with a bar coder reader 7 which reads the codes 5a and 6a. The device 1 is provided with a function which collates the names of selected cooling water pumps 5 and 6 with the bar codes 5a and 6a and outputs an operation command only when they coincide with each other.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable machine-side operating device used for selecting and operating a plurality of auxiliary machines on the machine side.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In various factories, plants, ships, and the like, a portable (so-called handy type) machine-side operating device may be used as a system for operating a plurality of auxiliary machines. When performing the operation, the selection is made solely based on the names of the auxiliary machines.

[0003]

However, in the case of auxiliary equipment having similar names or auxiliary equipment having the same name including the first and second units, an auxiliary equipment different from the intended one is erroneously selected and operated. There was a possibility. As an example, in the case of a ship, when the name of an auxiliary machine is input or selected from a menu by the machine side operation device, for example, “COOL S”
EA WATERPUMP ”and“ COOL FRESH ”
"WATER PUMP" or "No. 1BA"
LLAST PUMP ”and“ No.2 BALLAST ”
There was a concern that the user would mistakenly input or select “PUMP”.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to prevent an erroneous operation of an unintended auxiliary machine when selectively operating an auxiliary machine.

[0005]

According to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in order to select and operate a plurality of accessories, an operation command of the selected accessories is sent to a collective starter panel. The portable device-side operation device has a function of outputting an operation command only when the type of the selected accessory and the input identifier unique to the accessory match.

If the consistency between the type of the selected accessory and the input identifier of the accessory is not confirmed, the operation command is not output, so that the unintended accessory is not operated.

A bar code, a number, an electronic signal, or the like can be used as an identifier of the accessory.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which an operation command from a portable machine-side operating device (start / stop device) 1 adopting a wireless system is transmitted via a receiver 2 to an electric collective start. No. as an auxiliary machine based on a drive command sent from the collective starter board 3 through the power supply line 4 to the control panel 3. 1
Cooling water pump 5, No. (2) In a system configuration in which the cooling water pump 6 is started and stopped, bar codes 5a and 6a are posted on the nameplate as unique identifiers for the cooling water pumps 5 and 6, while the machine side operation is performed. In device 1,
A bar code reader 7 for reading the bar codes 5a, 6a and the like is provided, and only when the name of the selected cooling water pump 5 or 6 matches the input bar code 5a or 6a in the machine side operation device 1. It is configured to have a function of outputting an operation command to the collective starter panel 3 side. Reference numeral 8 denotes a display unit of the device side operation device 1, and 9 denotes operation keys.

Next, from the machine side, the No. The procedure for starting the cooling water pump 5 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

In the machine side operation device 1, first, the display unit 8
According to the screen menu above, the type (name) of accessory
Select “No. 1 cooling water pump”. Next, as an identifier of the accessory, No. (1) The bar code 5a posted on the name plate of the cooling water pump 5 is read by the bar code reader 7 and input as a so-called password. Subsequently, the two are collated, and if they match, "Start" is selected from the screen menu. As a result, the start operation command is sent to the collective starter panel 3 so that 1 The cooling water pump 5 is started.

In the above, if the collation between the selected pump type and the input bar code 5a does not match,
Even if “start” is selected from the screen menu, a start operation command is not output, so that an unintended pump is not accidentally started. In addition, since the operation cannot be performed from a place where the nameplate of the pump cannot be confirmed, the machine side operation, which is the original purpose, is guaranteed.

In the system configuration as a whole, the type of the selected accessory and the identifier are collated in the collective starter panel 3 so that the operation signal is not accepted unless the matching is confirmed. It can also be done.

In the above-described embodiment, a case has been described in which a bar code is read by a bar code reader in order to input an identifier of an auxiliary machine. Digit number (for example, A
15M298) by an operator and input by operating the key 9, or a unique identification signal is recorded on an electronic recording medium such as a ROM card and read by a dedicated reader. Of course, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0015]

As described above, according to the portable machine-side operation device of the present invention, the following excellent effects are exhibited. (1) In order to select and operate a plurality of accessories, the operation command for the selected accessories is sent to the collective starter panel. It has a function to output an operation command only when it matches the unique identifier of the machine, so the identifier assigned to the auxiliary machine that you actually want to operate must be input and collated. Thereby, it is possible to prevent an erroneous operation of an auxiliary machine that is not intended. (2) As identifiers, bar codes, numbers, electronic signals, etc.
Any medium can be used, and in particular, by adopting a method of reading a barcode or an electronic signal, it is possible to more reliably specify the auxiliary device.
