易に行なうこともできる。As described in detail above, according to the present invention, in a process monitoring device comprising a remotely controllable video camera and a CRT-equipped process console, the CRT-equipped process console receives and stores in advance a signal related to a detected abnormality. a video camera operating device that directs the video camera to the abnormal location and performs imaging based on information regarding the positional relationship between the abnormal location and the video camera; Combined with the monitoring screen showing the configuration and displayed on the CRT
When an abnormality occurs, the location of the abnormality is displayed blinking on the monitoring screen on the CRT, and the operator can automatically detect the problem by simply touching it with his or her finger. A video camera is pointed at the location where the abnormality has occurred and an image is taken, and the image taken by the video camera of the object to be monitored where the abnormality has occurred can be viewed on a CRT screen. This frees the operator from the conventional troublesome operations such as pointing the video camera toward the object to be monitored and focusing. Furthermore, since the images from the surveillance screen and the video camera are combined and displayed on the same CRT, information about what the video camera is showing is displayed instead of hard-to-understand text such as text. It can be displayed using a simple and easy-to-understand method of one image. On top of that,
The video camera can also be easily operated using the process console.
