Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively utilize information obtained by a boiler monitoring device. SOLUTION: This monitoring device inputs a signal on the operation state of a boiler from a control device 3 and monitors the operation situation of a boiler and totalizes heat management data. In this case, a terminal device 2 to output information on the operation state of a boiler from a boiler monitoring device 1 is arranged at a plurality of posts to need information and by connecting each terminal device 2 to a boiler monitoring device 1, a network for the boiler monitoring device is built. Information on the operation state of the boiler is inputted to respective posts by a plurality of the arranged terminal devices 2.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a networked boiler monitoring device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, automation of boiler control has been advanced. For a boiler that is operating automatically, a boiler monitoring device is provided to monitor the operation status of the boiler and to collect heat management data of the boiler. That is being done.
The boiler monitoring device should be installed near the boiler or at the place where the boiler operator who operates and maintains the boiler is resident, and if an abnormality occurs in the boiler, an alarm output from the boiler monitoring device The contents of the abnormality can be known by the information of the abnormality or the abnormality.

Further, since the boiler monitoring apparatus captures various operation data of the boiler, it also performs processing such as totalizing the operation time of the boiler, changes in steam flow rate, fuel consumption, and creating a report. I can do it. And, among the data that are compiled by the boiler monitoring device,
There is more useful data for factory managers and accounting staff than boiler staff.

However, in order to obtain information on the operation status of the boiler, a factory manager or the like must go to the place where the boiler monitoring device is installed and work therewith. If the boiler monitoring device is multifunctional so that various kinds of information can be processed, the operation of the boiler monitoring device becomes complicated, and there is a problem that it takes time to process data.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a boiler monitoring device which can effectively utilize information obtained by the boiler monitoring device.

[0006]

A signal relating to the operation status of the boiler is fetched from the control device of the boiler, and the operation status of the boiler is monitored by the boiler monitoring device. A terminal device that retrieves information about the situation is provided in a plurality of departments that need the information, and a network of boiler monitoring devices is constructed by connecting each terminal device to the boiler monitoring device. Make sure that each department can capture information about the situation.

[0007] Each of the terminal devices is set so that only the information necessary for the department concerned is taken in from the boiler monitoring device.

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a networked boiler monitoring device according to the present invention. The boiler monitoring device 1 is connected to a control device 3 that controls the operation of a boiler (not shown), and captures various signals output from the control device 3. A personal computer serving as the terminal device 2 of the boiler monitoring device 1 is provided in each of the departments that need the information on the operation status of the boiler, such as the boiler maintenance department, the factory management department, the accounting department, and the like. 2 is connected to the LAN 4 to construct a network of the boiler monitoring device.

The boiler maintenance department, the factory management department, and the accounting department each require information from the boiler monitoring device 1. The boiler maintenance department needs to perform repairs, etc. when an abnormality occurs.The boiler abnormality maintenance information, such as alarms and inspection instructions for knowing the occurrence of the abnormality, and the factory management department has a steam generation system to know the factory equipment operation status. The heat management information such as the operating status of the steam generator and the transition data of the steam generation amount, and the accounting department need the steam generation system cost information in order to know the steam generation system cost.

However, it does not make sense to send all the information processed by the boiler monitoring device 1 to all the terminal devices. For example, the accounting department does not need the information on the boiler abnormality, and if the accounting department does not know the boiler, When an abnormal alarm is sent, the accounting staff simply takes extra time to reset the alarm. Therefore, only the maintenance information is stored in the terminal device 2 installed in the boiler maintenance department, the heat management information is stored in the terminal device 2 installed in the factory management department, and only the expense information is stored in the terminal device 2 installed in the accounting department. It is set to take in each.

[0011] As described above, by installing a terminal device for each department requiring information and networking the boiler monitoring device, the information obtained by the boiler monitoring device can be effectively used. In addition, by setting each terminal device 2 to capture only necessary information that is different for each department, the time for capturing information by each terminal device 2 is reduced, and the required storage capacity is small. Each department can obtain necessary information with less operations.

[0012]

According to the present invention, information obtained by the boiler monitoring device can be obtained at a place where it is required. In addition, by setting the type of information to be taken out for each terminal device, it is possible to reduce the time for taking in information and the amount of operation in each terminal device.
