DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a simulator for training operators of various plants, particularly petroleum refining and petrochemical plants.

In general, various plants are operated by monitoring and operating control panels in a supervisory control room, operating setting operations for equipment, and monitoring conditions in a field. For the sake of Party B, this simulator for training plant operators is configured so that operators in the monitoring and control room and operators who set the operation of equipment in the field can be trained in coordination. It is preferable that

By the way, in the conventional simulation device, the field operation panel for simulating the operation of the equipment in Feel P includes switches for setting the start and stop of pumps or compressors, volumes for setting the opening and closing of valves, etc. There is only a switch installed, a lamp indicating whether the switch is off, etc., and the state of the equipment, such as abnormal noises from pumps, abnormal vibrations, poor circulation of lubricating oil, etc.
It was not possible to provide training in response to the displays of instruments installed in the area (e.g., the ammeter of the electric motor for pump rotation, the pressure gauge of the lubricating oil pump, etc.).

The present invention was made to solve the above drawbacks, and
The purpose is to provide a training simulator that can perform appropriate and highly advanced training in accordance with the state of each piece of equipment.

That is, the present invention provides a control panel for training that corresponds to plant operation control in a supervisory control room, a command display panel for trainers that commands and inspects training contents, and a training control panel that corresponds to equipment operation settings in Feel P. In the simulation device, the command display panel for the trainer and the field operation panel for the training are placed close to each other, and are spaced apart from the training control panel. The training simulator is equipped with a training simulator that displays the state of the equipment corresponding to the field operation panel on the command display panel for the trainer, and in particular, the command display panel for the trainer is replaced by a CRT display device with a keyboard. This is a simulation device that displays the state of the computer on the CRT display device.

The present invention will be described in detail below.

The control panel for training is a simulated control panel that corresponds to the control panel in the monitoring and control room of the actual plant. Controllers and switches corresponding to the start and stop switches of main pumps, etc., and indications of temperature, pressure, flow rate, etc. that display the operating status of the plant, or recorders and displays that indicate whether the switch is on or off. 7g of indicators, recorders, display lamps, etc., each corresponding to a lamp, etc.
It is built into the wall and installed.

In addition, the command display panel for trainers is used to set the start, interruption, and stop of training, various troubles for the plant simulation model, and various plant statuses (e.g., temperature, pressure, flow rate, etc.) for checking the training status. etc.) can be displayed υ, CR with keyboard
Preferably, a T display device is used.

In a real plant, the field operation panel used for training is a switch for starting and stopping pumps, compressors, etc. that are set and operated by Feel Y, or a phase 5 switch for pulp, etc.
This is a 79 channel with a switch or a volume control.

Signals from these control panels, command display panels, and field operation panels are input to a combiator that has a built-in simulation model that simulates plant operation, and the simulation results are sent to the control panel and further displayed as commands as necessary. displayed on the board.

The present invention provides a control panel for training, a command display panel for trainers, and a field operation panel for training. Although we decided to display the actual status of the equipment on the display panel, the status of the equipment in the field cannot be known in the monitoring and control room, and can only be known by visiting the actual equipment. This is information that can be used.

For example, abnormal sounds in rotating equipment such as pumps and compressors, vibration of the rotating shaft, circulation status of lubricating oil, and instruments installed in Feel Y that are not very important for regular operation management (for example, in rotating equipment) This device is designed to display instructions from the drive motor ammeter, container liquid level needle, pump discharge pressure gauge, etc. as messages or numerical values on the display panel of the trainer's command display panel. .

As a result, operators who operate equipment in the field can be provided with the above-mentioned information that can be obtained visually, audibly, and tactually using Feel R from the display panel, and in close cooperation with these operators. Together with the operators in the monitoring and control room who are operating the plant, it is possible to conduct advanced training that closely resembles the operation of a real plant.

Next, a preferred specific example of the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a control panel for training, which is equipped with regulators and switches that generate various instruction signals A for operating the simulation model, and indicators, recorders, display lamps, etc. that display the simulation results. There is. 2
is an input/output control device that transfers the instruction signal A from the control panel 1 and the instruction signal B from the input/output device 3 to the processing device 4, and transfers the status signal C from the processing device 4 to the control panel. 1
and the transfer of the instruction signal B' to the input/output device 3, respectively.

The input/output device 3 is a CRT display device with a keyboard, and by operating the keys on the keyboard of the device 3 to generate an instruction signal B, the input/output device 3 displays measured values for checking the driving status, and performs alarm monitoring. This function allows you to check the upper and lower limits of each measured value.

On the other hand, the field operation panel 5, which generates instruction signals indicating the operating and opening/closing settings of equipment such as compressors and globe valves that are set in the field of the plant, is provided with switches and volume controls corresponding to each equipment. Then, the instruction signal is supplied to the processing device 4 via the input/output control device 6. In the command display panel 7 for the trainer, for example, a CRT display device with a keypad, the keyboard outputs a signal E1 for setting various troubles for the plant simulation model, and a signal E for requesting the display of the status of specific equipment. This can often occur due to the trainer's key operations, and the trainer's command display panel 7 displays the settings of the regulators and switches on the control panel 1 and the plant settings based on the signals A and G supplied from the input/output control device 8. In addition to displaying the operating status of the simulation model, the status of specific equipment is also displayed based on the signal H from the input/output control device 8. The input/output control device 8 transfers the signals E and E from the command display panel 7 for the trainer to the processing device 4, and the signal A from the control device 2 and the current operation of the plant simulation model from the processing device 4. Signal G indicating status
It also controls the transfer of a signal H indicating the state of the equipment at feel r to the command display panel 7 for the trainer. Processing device 4
A control program for operating a simulation model for an actual plant is stored in the controller, and when signals A, B, and D are supplied to the multiprocessor 4 according to this control program, the actual plant performs actual monitoring control. It generates signals C and H indicating the results of operations when operated by the control panel in the room and the equipment in the actual field.

Furthermore, when the signal E1 is supplied, the processing device 4 also generates signals C, G, and H in the control program, which indicate the operation results when the trouble indicated by the signal E1 occurs in an actual plant. Control panel 1 and input/output device 3
is placed in the training room at a distance from the field operation panel 5 and the trainer's command display panel 7.The trainees who operate the control panel 1 and the input/output device 3 can check the settings of the field operation panel 5 and the trainer's command display panel 7. The display on the command display panel 7 cannot be checked.

On the other hand, the field operation panel 5 is located close to the trainer's command display panel 7, which is a CRT display device with a keyboard. In addition to being able to operate the keyboard, the status of the equipment in the field can be displayed and confirmed on the display device.The field operation panel 5 is placed close to the command display panel for the trainer. The command display panel may be integrally provided, or the field operation panel 5 and the trainer command display panel may be formed separately, and the field operation panel 5 and the command display panel for the trainer may be formed separately.
It may also be implemented by placing it adjacent to the command display panel for the trainer.

In the simulation device 20 for a plant configured in this way, an operator who operates the plant in a supervisory control room is usually placed as a trainee at the operating position of the control panel 1, and operates equipment in the field of the plant in the supervisory control room. An operator who operates based on instructions from the operator is also placed as a trainee at the operation position of the field operation panel 5, and a trainer is placed at the operation position of the command display panel 7 for trainers. In training, first, an initial value is input as a signal B from the input/output device 3 to the simulation model 4 of the processing device 4 . The processing device 4 operates the simulation model based on the input initial values and a control program stored in advance, and supplies the input/output control device 2 with a signal C indicating the operating state of the model. The input/output control device 2 supplies the supplied signal C to the control panel 1, and as a result, the operating status of the model is displayed on the indicators and lamps of the control panel 1. The trainee should check the indicator values and lamp displays on the control panel 1 and operate the regulators and switches on the control panel 1 as necessary to ensure that the model operates as expected. C,
Instruct trainees as equipment operators in the field to operate the equipment in Fieldr. When the regulators and switches of the control panel 1 are actuated, the signal A based on this actuation is supplied to the processing device 4 via the control device 2, and the input/output processing device 4 sends the supplied signal to the control program. Operate the simulation model based on this. On the other hand, the equipment trainee in the field operates the field operation panel 5 according to instructions from the trainee at the control panel 1. In this case, if the instruction is, for example, to operate a compressor, the field equipment trainee operates a switch on the field operation panel 5 that specifies starting and stopping of the compressor to simulate the operation of the compressor. The compressor operating signal resulting from this is supplied as a signal to the processing device 4 via the control device 6. As a result, the processing device 4 operates a simulation model based on the compressor operating signal and the control program, and reports the operation results. The control panel 1 uses the signal shown as signal C.
supply to.

Therefore, on the control panel 1, the results of the operation of the equipment in the field are instructed and displayed on indicators and display lamps, etc., and the trainees at the control panel 1 can control the equipment again as necessary based on these instructions and displays. Operate the regulators and switches on panel 1, or give instructions to trainees on field equipment. By the way, in an actual plant, operators of equipment in the field check the status of equipment during equipment operation, such as whether the compressor is overloaded or not, or whether the compressor is emitting vibration or abnormal noise. Current needles attached to or eyes, ears,
Although it can be directly confirmed with the five senses of tactile sensation, the simulation device 20
Then, by operating a specific key on the keyboard of the command display panel 7 for the trainee or trainer, a status display request signal to be attached to a specific device is transmitted to the processing device 4 via the control device 8 as a signal island.
, the processing device 4 generates a signal H indicating in what state the specified device is being operated in the simulation model according to the control program and supplies it to the control device 8 . The control device 8 supplies the signal H indicating the equipment status from the processing unit 4 to the display device of the command display panel 7 for the trainer, and the display device uses this to indicate the equipment status, for example, 1 overload', 'abnormal vibration', etc. 〃Alternatively, the message 1 abnormal sound l is displayed. Therefore, by operating the keyboard of the trainer's command display panel 7 as described above, the trainee can check the display on the display device in the same way as when operating each device of an actual plant in the field. It is possible to visually check the condition of the simulation model equipment in the field. On the other hand, the trainer operates the keyboard 7 to supply an abnormal state signal as a signal E to the processing device 4 via the control device 9.
It is possible to cause an abnormal state (trouble) in the simulation model. Due to the occurrence of this abnormal state by the trainer, the operating state signal C of the simulation model output from the processing device 4 changes, and the indicators and display lamps on the control panel 1 change in response to this change, resulting in the control The trainee at the panel 1 operates the indicators and switches on the control panel 1 to deal with trouble, and gives necessary instructions to the trainee at the field operation panel 5.

By operating the keyboard of the trainer's command display panel 7, the trainer is supplied with the indicated values, setting states, and display states of the indicators, switches, indicator needles, and display lamps of the control panel 1. It can be displayed on the display device of the instruction display panel 7 for the trainer based on the signalman and G. In this display, the signal A may be generated together with the signal G from the processing device 4, and the signals G and A from the processing device 4 may be used. The signal A from the control device 2 may be directly supplied to the control device 9, and the signal M from the control device 2 and the signal G from the processing device 4 may be used. still,
On the display device of the command display panel 7 for the trainer,
In addition to the above, it is preferable that status signals C of various processes, setting signals of the field operation panel 5, etc. can also be displayed. Further, in the above specific example, the operation was explained in the case where trainees were also added to operate the equipment in the field, but if only the operators who operate the control panel 1 need to be trained, the trainer can operate the field operation panel 5. can also be operated and is efficient. Further, as the processing device, a conventional computer system may be used, but instead of this, a microcomputer, which has become widely used in recent years, may be used.

As described above, according to the present invention, the field operation panel is disposed close to the command display panel for the trainer, and the trainee can check the state of the simulation model equipment in the field as necessary. In order to obtain this knowledge, training can be conducted that corresponds to actual plant operation. In addition, since the trainer can train field equipment operators, even when there are no equipment operators as trainees in the field, training can be conducted only by the operators in the supervisory control room and the trainers.
