Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a display device for displaying status and operation guidance in a system composed of a plurality of processing devices arranged over a relatively wide area.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when monitoring the status of a system in which multiple processing units operate in a related manner, the status signals of the multiple processing units described above are captured and sent to a monitoring panel or CRT display installed in a monitoring room, etc. It was customary to output and monitor information about the entire system.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In such a centralized monitoring system, a person is stationed in the monitoring room, and depending on the displayed content, the information is transmitted to the operators of the related equipment by telephone or the like. According to this method, it is necessary to have a guard in the monitoring room, and the guard must be on the monitoring board or C.
It must be operated by a person who can give appropriate instructions to the operators of each connection device according to the information displayed on the RT display. Therefore,
The operators of each device have information about the device they are responsible for and simply seek instructions from the monitoring room.

The present invention provides an apparatus that eliminates various drawbacks of the above-mentioned centralized monitoring system.

[Failure to solve the problem]

The present invention allows each processing device to display the status of each related processing device in kanji characters.
A display control unit is provided with a display capable of displaying an alphanumeric figure, etc., and receives operating state signals of a plurality of processing devices into the display, and causes the display of the related processing devices to display the operating states. This is a display device characterized by:

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

The functions of each part will be explained with reference to the figures.

In FIG. 1, 10.20.30 is a processing device.

For ease of explanation, it is assumed that the processing devices to, 20t30 have the following functions. In other words, the processing device 10°2
0 and 30 perform sequential processing in an interconnected manner, and the object A is subjected to the first processing in the processing device 10 and transferred to the conveyance path 50.
It is transported to the processing device 20 via. Further, the object A is subjected to a second processing in the processing device 20, is transported to the processing device 30 via the transport path 60, and is further processed in the processing device 30 for a third processing.
shall be processed. Note that the term ``object A'' is not used in the singular, but in the plural sense.

The processing devices io, 20.30 have a function of transmitting the transportation state and the state of their own equipment to the continuous display control device 40 during the process in which the object A is transported.

11.12.13 are indicators. Indicators 11, 12.
13 is a kanji character based on a display command from the display control device 40;
Alphanumeric characters.

It has the function of displaying the status using graphics, etc. -10 is a display control device. The display control device 40 is the processing device 10
, the processing device 20, and the processing device 30, and has a function of outputting display commands to the related display devices 11, 21, and 31. Further, 50 and 60 are conveyance paths. Note that the object A to be processed by the processing device
It is assumed that each processing device controls the transport path along which the material is transported. That is, the transport path 50 is controlled by the processing device 10, and the transport path 60 is controlled by the processing device 20.

Next, the operation of an embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

First, the operation when the processing device 10, the processing device 20, and the processing device 30 transition from a stopped state to an operating state will be described.

Processing device 10, processing device fil 20. and processing device 30
are all stopped, each processing device 10, 20.3
A stop signal is transmitted from 0 to the display control device 40.

When the display control device 40 receives the stop signals from each of the processing devices 10, 20, and 30, it sends the stop display signals of the processing devices 20 and 30 to the display device 111'C, and also sends the stop signal to the display device 21'C.
is a stop display signal of the processing device 10 and the processing device 30,
Further, a stop display signal for the processing device 10 and the processing device 20 is transmitted to the display 31 . Each display device riy2L31 that has received the stop display signal displays a stop display for each processing device. As for the display method, it is optional to display in Chinese characters, alphanumeric characters, etc., or to output a system configuration diagram and convert the color of the stop processing device part to the stop color.

Next, when each processing device 10.20.30 becomes operational,
From each processing device 10, 20.30 to display control device 40IC
The stop signal that had been issued to the vehicle stops, and a run signal is output in its place. The display control device 40 is connected to each processing device 10.
When the operation signal from ゜20, 30 is received, the display 1
1, the operation display signal of the processing device 20 and the processing device 30 is displayed, and the display 21 shows the operation display signal of the processing device 10 and the processing device 30.
Further, the display 31 receives the operation display signal from the processing device 10.
and transmits an operation display signal of the processing device 20.

Each display 11, 21, 31 that has received the operation display signal displays the operation of the respective processing device. The display method is as described above.

Next, a description will be given of the operation when the transport path 50 is no longer able to transport an object or person due to some failure when all the processing apparatuses 10, 20, and 30 have their operating state buttons.

When an abnormality occurs in the transport path 50, the processing equipment that controls the transport path 50! 10 to display 4jj control device 401C transport path 5
゜An abnormal signal is sent. The display control device transmits a transport path 50 abnormality display signal to all the indicators 11, 21, and 31K. Each indicator II, 21.31 receives the transport path 50 abnormality display signal and displays an abnormality. In particular, it would be even more effective if the display 11 displays operating methods such as how to clear the abnormality regarding the abnormal situation. When the abnormality is cleared, the conveyance path 50 abnormality signal sent from the processing device 10 to the display control device 40 stops, and then the conveyance path 50 abnormality signal sent from the display control device 40 to each display 11, 21, 31 stops. The road 50 abnormality display signal also stopped, and each display 11.21
．． 31 abnormality display is erased. In the above explanation, display commands were given to all display devices, but depending on the status of the device, etc., this may not be the case, and only necessary information should be displayed for related devices. , the present invention (details thereof are not particularly mentioned).

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention displays information on each related device on a display placed near each processing device and transmits it to the operator of each processing device. This eliminates the need for a supervisor, and allows the operator of each processing device to operate the system appropriately and effectively, making it extremely effective in practical use.
