The screen display program 4 will be ported to the screen display system 60 and put into practical use only if the desired results are obtained.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Since the conventional plant monitoring screen automatic creation system is configured as described above, the screen design (screen format diagram 12 screen variable screen logic specifications 62) -? A series of tasks such as creation of screen display programs (Screen display program specifications 3 JP Direct display program 4) and screen display tests (Screen test procedures 5. Actual CITT display test 6) can be done manually or locally. Because it was created using advanced CAD, CAE equipment, etc., when human errors occur in the information transmission path, or when screen requirement specifications change, considerable revisions are required at each work phase. There were problems such as work being required.

This invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems by mechanizing screen generation consistently.

Aiming to reduce human errors caused by manual intervention.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a plant monitoring screen automatic generation system that automatically generates screen display control e-data directly from design data and that can efficiently process changes even when screen specifications change.

[A precautionary measure to resolve the problem]

The plant monitoring screen automatic generation system according to this invention is (1), Design CAD, CAE (screen format diagram.

Sub-systems such as screen variable surface logic specifications, engineering 10 database generation) (2) 1 screen generation device (screen display control data generation) (3) 0 screen test device (input/output database, plant human input pseudo data generation) It is a combination of

[Effect]

Design CAD, CAE, a screen generation device, and a screen test device are combined as subsystems to the screen generated by the plant screen automatic generation system of this invention, and each specification data at the design stage is used.

Screen display control data is automatically generated to eliminate human work as much as possible, and a test database is generated using a single-screen test device to semi-automate the test [Example] An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. . In FIG. 1, the same parts as in FIG. 9 are shown with the same reference numerals. In FIG. A specification creation CAE device, a 11u screen generation device, and 12 a screen testing device. Further, 13 is a plant monitoring computer system that displays screens generated by this system.

Next, the operation will be explained. First, a screen format diagram 1t is created using the screen format diagram generation CAD device 9 as shown in FIG. At this time, the variable figure 1, for example,
A graphical unit named macro-symbol is assigned to symbols 2-1, 2-2 and 2-3 in FIG. This is 1
By simply specifying the name (macro symbol name), graphical units such as numerical display, pump, pulp, etc. can be called into the CAD device as shown in Figure 2 2-1 and 2-2.2-3. , and all variable picture serial numbers (within the screen) can be added as accompanying information. Variable image logic and computer input/output specification creation CAE device 10 (Figure 3fa)
Create screen variable-logic specification 2 as shown below, and (
b) Create all computer input/output specifications. In general, the variable conditions of variable figures for each field can be systematized, so
The variable image logic in the variable image and computer input/output specification creation CAE device 10 can be expressed by the assigned input point name and its logic name (variable image ID).

When each of the specifications shown in FIG. 1, screen variable logic specification 2, and computer input/output specification 7 are created in ERI CAD and CAE equipment as shown in FIG. Each piece of data is input to a generation process 14 to create one-screen display control data 4. This screen display control data 40 is input to the screen data conversion process 17 of the plant monitoring computer system 16 and
Display the screen on RT. In addition, the computer input/output specifications 7 shown in FIG. Set various test data from the information in the output database and generate it as described above. 7? + Screen display control data 40
The test is conducted semi-automatically.

Next, FIG. 4 shows the process of converting the respective data created by the screen format diagram generation CAD device 9 and the variable image logic and computer input/output specification creation CAE device 10 into screen display control data.

Further, the processing flow is shown in FIG. That is, the stored screen display control data is processed in the screen data conversion process 17 in the target plant monitoring computer system 16 as shown in 5T-1 to 5T-5 in FIG. 5, and displayed on the CRT. Ru.

The screen testing device 12 executes the following process based on the input/output database generated by the screen variable logic specification and computer input/output specification creation CAE device 10.

(1) Screen assignment check test for input points (Figure 6) After specifying the screen name, input values are automatically changed at fixed time intervals in the order of variable picture serial numbers according to the contents of the input/output database, and the screen test.

(2) Setting of various data groups (test by setting data at all points) (Figure 7) )% All input point data are input/output database 8, set, and all screen tests are performed, such as checking the number of digits in the numerical display.

(3) Regular cycle change of input point values (analog data cycle fluctuation test) (Figure 8) By specifying the screen name, all input data on the corresponding screen is changed to a fixed cycle according to the contents of the input/output database. , perform a screen test of trend graph operation.

By automating the test data setting as described above, for most screen tests, the tester can perform repeated tests efficiently by simply starting the test data setting process 16 and checking the CRT display results. It becomes possible. Also, most of the instructions for the screen test can be automatically created from the design specification data shown in FIG. 3, and the test is conducted accordingly.

With the above, it becomes possible to conduct design and manufacturing building tests based on consistent specifications.
