Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten a reset time by providing a power source switch supervisory means for monitoring the state of a power source switch which supplies to an information processing device. CONSTITUTION:A power source supervisory device 10, to which the power source for supervisory device is supplied, receives the power source supplying state of the information processing device 20 and the power source switch 21 which supplies the power source different from the said power source to the device 20 and informs the power source state detected from both to a centralized managing device 30. And the said power source supervisory device 10 is constituted of a device power source supervisory means 11, a power source information forming means 12 and a power source information transmitting means 13. In this case, when a power source switching supervisory means 14 is added and the power source which is supplied to the device from the power source 21 is cut by the switch, a power source cutoff state is detected by detecting that the power source switching supervisory means 14 is earthed by the power source switch 21 and informs it to the power source information forming means 12. And the above-mentioned transmitting means 13 fetches the power source information and transmits it to the centralized managing device 30.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a power supply monitoring device that receives power from a system separate from the information processing device and monitors the power supply of the information processing device.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in this type of power supply monitoring device, the device power supply monitoring means detects the power off of the information processing device, and the power supply information transmitting means simply notifies the central management device of the power supply information indicating that the power supply has been cut off together with the device address.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The conventional power monitoring device described above is configured to notify the central management device of the failure occurrence information only as a power outage when the information processing device is powered off and a power outage is detected. If the failure is due to hardware FI damage, or if the power is turned off due to human operation error, etc.
There is a problem in that the central management device cannot determine whether a failure has occurred based only on the failure occurrence information, and it takes a lot of effort and time to recover from the failure.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a power supply monitoring device that solves the above problems by obtaining switch information from a power switch of a power supply supplied to an information processing device.

[Means for solving problems]

The power supply monitoring device of the present invention is a power supply monitoring device that receives power from a system different from the information processing device and monitors the power supply of the information processing device, and includes device power monitoring means for detecting the power state of the information processing device. , a power switch monitoring means for detecting the supply state of a power switch that supplies power to the information processing device, and determining that there is a failure in the operating power supply of the information processing device when receiving power-off information only from the device power monitoring means; and a power supply information forming means that determines that the power supply to the information processing apparatus is cut off when receiving power supply disconnection information from the power switch monitoring means and forms predetermined power information; and power supply information transmitting means for outputting information to the central management device.

〔Example〕

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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a power monitoring device 10 receives power for the monitoring device, and a power switch 21 that supplies power to the information processing device 20 and a power source for the information processing device that is different from the power source for the monitoring device to the information processing device 20. It receives the power supply state and notifies the central management device 30 of the power supply state detected from both states.

The power supply monitoring device 10 includes device power supply monitoring means 11. Power supply information forming means 12. It has a source information transmitting means 13 and a power switch monitoring means 14. The device power supply monitoring means 11 detects a state in which the operating power is cut off from the information processing device 20 and notifies the power supply information forming means 12 of the detected state. The power switch monitoring means 14 is added according to the present invention, and when the power supply to the device is cut off by the power switch 21, the power switch monitoring means 14 detects that the power switch 21 is grounded. It detects the state of power supply cutoff and notifies the power supply information forming means 12. The source information forming means 12 forms power information of an important fault as a device power failure failure when the operating power is cut off and the power supply is connected;
When the operating power is cut off, it is determined that the operating power is cut off as a result of the supply power cut off, and power information of a non-important failure is formed and temporarily stored. The source information transmitting means 13 is the power source information forming means 12
Take out the power information formed in the central control device 30 as soon as possible.
Send to. The power information includes the addresses of the information processing device 20 and the power switch 21, respectively, and the location where the information is generated is confirmed. Further, power information is notified according to instructions from the central management device 30.

In the above embodiment, it has been explained and illustrated that the monitoring means detects only a power outage, but even in the detection of power supply, it is possible to detect a more detailed state and to combine the states from the two monitoring means.
It is also possible to form more complex power supply information.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention has a power switch monitoring means that monitors the state of the power switch supplied to the information processing device, thereby preventing power outage and human operation due to hardware failure of the information processing device or its power light. It is possible to distinguish between a power outage due to a switch disconnection and notify the central control device, so the central control device can grasp the failure status and situation on the information device side in more detail, and if the switch is manually disconnected, the failure can be recovered. This has the effect of clarifying the means and shortening recovery time in terms of maintenance and operation.
