Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a setting input device for a data acquisition device used in a multi-point measurement device or a control device.

A data acquisition device is used to repeatedly sweep necessary data from measurement elements and the like placed at a large number of points.

In the data acquisition device, the user must manually set the sweep conditions of the data channels to be acquired, the types of elements connected to each data channel, comparison conditions, and the like.

When setting these settings, the conditions are intertwined and become quite complicated, so it is necessary to carefully perform the setting operations one by one while referring to the function family for setting.

Therefore, the operation is complicated and error-prone.

Furthermore, in devices where the set contents are stored in a memory using an electronic circuit, it is necessary to monitor the set contents, and in this case too, the user The operation was complicated.

The present invention improves on this, and aims to provide a compact and economical data logger setting device that is easy for the user to handle, prevents errors from occurring, allows for easy monitoring.

The present invention consists of a function switch that specifies the function of the numerical value to be input and set, a multi-digit digital switch that gives a set numerical value for each function specified by this function switch, and a digital switch that corresponds to the numerical value given to this digital switch. A numeric display with a number of digits equal to the number of digits of this digital switch, and the meaning of each digit of the digital switch and the numeric display are displayed in the row direction, and the function specified by the function switch is displayed in the column direction. Function tables to be displayed in correspondence with each other are arranged on the same operation panel surface, and the corresponding digits of the numeric display, the function group, and the digital switch are arranged on each row line, and the function switch display are arranged in corresponding positions in each row of the function group, and the functions of the function switches, the set values of the digital switches, and the displays of the numeric display can be understood in correspondence with each other.

This will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

The figure is a layout diagram of a setting input amount operation panel according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, 1 is a numeric display, which is composed of a 7-segment electronic display tube.

2 is a faction.

3 is a digital switch, and by giving a number to this switch, a numerical code can be read into the setting input device.

Here, the numeric display 1, the function group 2, and the digital switch 3 each have seven digits, and each digit is characterized by being arranged on a vertical straight line in each column.

4 is a function switch, this switching position A B C
The DEs are arranged in columns of each row ABCDE of the function family so as to correspond to each other on a horizontal straight line.

5 is an entry button. To explain the functions of the operation panel surface according to the operating procedure, if the function switch 4 is placed in position A, the sweep control is set.

The first digit A1 is a mode designation; for example, the number O is set as single, the number 1 is set as continuous, and the number 2 is set as step.

A2 (2nd to 4th digit) is the first channel number, A3
(5th digit to 7th digit) is the last channel number.

When the user sets numbers in the corresponding digits of the digital switch 3 with his or her fingertips and presses the entry button 5, the contents of the digital switch 3 are recorded in the memory and set.

From now on, as long as the function switch 4 is in position A,
The contents of this memory will be displayed on the numeric display 1.

In this way, for each corresponding digit, the user can operate the digital switch and the contents of the function group arranged in a straight line according to the position of that digit, making it difficult for mistakes and confusion to occur.

Also, the contents of the memory are displayed on the numeric display 1, so
You can check the settings.

When the function switch 4 is placed in position B, the sweep start time and sweep interval are set.

B1 (first to fourth digits) can set the hours and minutes of the time in two digits each, and B2 (fifth to seventh digits) can set the interval in three-digit minutes.

The operation of the digital switch 3, the use of the entry button 5, and the display of the memory contents on the numeric display are the same as in the above case.

When the function switch 4 is set to position C, the sweep group is set.

C1 (first digit) sets the group number, and C2 (second to fourth digits) sets the first channel number of the group.

C3 (5th digit) is the mode, for example the number O is normal,
Number 1 is defined as delay, number 2 is defined as skip, etc., and written in the function group.

C4 (sixth digit) is a range, which sets the measurement elements connected to each group.

For example, the number O is a platinum resistance thermometer (PT), the number 1 is a thermocouple (PR), the number 3 is a thermocouple (CA), the number 6 is a DC current of 4 to 20 mA, etc. The number 8 is determined as a voltage with a maximum value of 10V, etc., and is abbreviated in the function group.

C5 (7th digit) is a code to set the comparison value, number O is 01, number 1 is 4Pl... number 8 is Φ8, number 9 is 0F.
F (no comparison), and the contents of #8 to #8 are set in more detail depending on the function switch position and the E position.

The function switch position is the upper limit value.

Function switch position E is the lower limit value.

The first digit (Dl or E) is set with the number +O-+S set in the seventh digit (C5) at function switch position C.

The second digit (B2 or B2) is the polarity, where 0 indicates +1 indicates -.

Values to be compared are set in the third to seventh digits (B3 or B3).

In this way, since each row of the function group 2 is arranged in correspondence with the switching position of the function switch 4, the user can recognize the contents of the functions at a glance.

The F position of the function switch 4 is a panel lock, and in this position, all input to the operation panel is cut off.

During data acquisition, the function switch 4 is in this position.

The G position of function switch 4 is the data display.
The contents of the data being acquired are displayed one by one on the numerical display 1.

Positions G and F are irrelevant to the function family.

As described above, according to the present invention, the user can understand the contents at a glance, perform operations without error, and can clearly monitor the already set contents.

Furthermore, since one set of digital switches and a numerical display can be switched and used for various setting operations, the device can be made smaller and an economically superior setting input device can be obtained.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the content shown in the above example, and the content of the function, number of digits, etc. can be designed as desired according to the purpose of use, and the present invention can be similarly implemented using these. I can do it.
