Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the easy information of errors in an integrated form in terms of a system and to attain the easy change of an information display means and the error contents, by processing the code of a detected error according to an error processing table and deciding and displaying the error informing method. CONSTITUTION:The detection data of each error detecting means 1 is converted into a prescribed error code and transmitted to an error informing means 2. The means 2 reads the data set on an error processing table 3 and refers to the set code for the error code for operation to decide the error display method and the error contents. Thus only the code showing a detection error is transmitted to the means 2 through an error detected area. This attains easily the transmission of error information in an integrated form in terms of a system. In addition, the alteration is desired with the information system to outside, the data on the table 3 is corrected. Thus the error information method can be changed regardless of the means 1.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an error notification system for notifying and displaying processing errors in a computer control system.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an error notification method in a conventional computer control system configured with a single CPU. In the figure, 41 is a subsystem group divided into functional units such as progress management and operation management. detects each error.

Next, the operation will be explained.

In the course of computer control, each subsystem group 41 divided into functional units detects various abnormalities such as data inconsistencies and progress contradictions as processing errors. These detected errors are detected at each location.
The treatment method and communication method to the outside world will be decided and notified.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Since the conventional error notification method is as described above, it is difficult to unify the system. In addition, when changing the treatment method for detection errors, it is necessary to modify each detected location.

This invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide an error notification system that systematically determines and unifies error notification methods, and makes it easy to change the processing method. purpose.

[Means for solving problems]

In the error notification system according to the present invention, the error detection means outputs an error that occurs at an error detection location as an error code, the error notification means processes this error code according to an error processing table to determine a notification method, and the error notification system outputs an error code. The content of the error is displayed by the notification display means.

[For production]

The error notification means in this invention refers to the error processing table for the error code from the error detection means, and the lamp or CRT notifies the error.
Selection of notification display device.

Operates to determine the nature of the error.

〔Example〕

゛Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, IFi multiple error detection means L
2 is an error notification means. 3 is an error processing table stored in the error notification means 2.

As an example, if we take a nine-computer control system consisting of a single CPU, there is a progress management subsystem.

The operation management subsystem, man-machine interface subsystem, etc. are error detection means. On the other hand, based on the error codes passed from these subsystems, the error processing tape/L-3 is referred to, and the CRT serves as an external notification display means 4.

The error notification means 2 notifies the lamp and typewriter.

In addition, the error processing table 3, as shown in FIG.
A code for determining the processing device 12 and processing details 13 for each error hood 11 are set in advance and stored in the memory of the computer.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained according to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, the detection data detected by each error detection means 1 is converted into a predetermined error code and transmitted to the error notification means 2. The error notification means 2 takes in this error code, reads the setting data of the error processing table 3, and calculates the error hood by referring to the setting data, thereby issuing a notification informing, for example, of the method of lighting or printing. The display method and the content of the error are determined, and processing for displaying one notification is performed. Finally, the error notification means 2 determines the notification method. Therefore, by simply transmitting only the error code representing the detected error to the error notification means 2 at the error detection location, systemically unified notification can be easily performed. It is possible to automatically select and display whether to display, lamp display, or other display display simply by transmitting the error code, without any operation by an operator or the like.

Also, if you want to change the external notification method.

By modifying the data in the error processing table 3, it can be changed independently of the error detection means 1 side.

In the above embodiment, the error code transmission between the error detection means 1 and the error notification means 2 has been described, but the same effect can be obtained with error notification by the same means. Further, the above embodiment can also be adopted for error notification in a distributed processing system that spans a plurality of CPUs, and the same effects can be achieved.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the error detection means and the error notification means are provided independently, and the error code from the error detection means is detected by referring to the error processing table provided in the error notification means in advance. Based on the processing results, the system automatically selects the notification display method and determines the error content, making it easy to notify errors systemically. By rewriting the above, it is possible to easily change the notification display means and error contents.
