JPS6389943A - Fault display device for information processor - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To display a fault without putting load on the control of an information processor, by comparing plural kinds of fault telegrams stored in advance with the fault telegram from the information processor, and displaying a telegram corresponding to a coincided fault telegram. CONSTITUTION:The fault telegram from the information processor 1 is transmitted to a reception circuit 4 through a communication line 3. The reception circuit 4 converts the telegram to a character string, and transfers it to a comparator 6. The comparator 6 compares the character string with those of the plural kinds of fault telegrams stored in a telegram pattern storage memory 5 in advance. As a result, when it coincides with either of them, a display signal corresponding to the coincided fault telegram is transmitted to a display unit 7, and also, generates audible sound.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a fault display device that identifies all fault messages output from an information processing device and displays the type of fault.

(Prior art) Conventionally, when an information processing device detects a fault, it simply outputs a fault message to a console terminal, or a dedicated fault display device is installed and the display device is directly controlled by the information processing device. Was.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) The former requires the operator to constantly monitor the console terminal, and the latter requires the information processing device to output a fault message to the console terminal and control one display device. Due to this necessity, the control of the information processing device becomes complicated, and the display device also becomes expensive.

An object of the present invention is to provide a fault display device that does not impose a burden on the control of an information processing device, does not require constant monitoring by an operator, and is cheaper than conventional devices.

(Problem? Means to solve it) Said purpose? In order to achieve this, a fault display device for an information processing device according to the present invention is connected to the information processing device via a communication line, and includes a receiving circuit that receives a fault message from the information processing device and converts it into a character string, and a plurality of similar components. Compare the fault message from the receiving circuit with the message pattern storage memory in which the fault message is stored in advance and the fault message in the message pattern storage memory, and output a signal corresponding to the matching fault message. and a display device that displays a signal corresponding to the signal from the comparison circuit.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings.

The figure is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a fault display device according to the present invention.

In the figure, an information processing device 1 is connected to a receiving circuit 4 of a fault display device 2 via a communication line 3. Receiving circuit 4
is connected to the comparison circuit 6. The comparison circuit 6 is connected to the message pattern storage memory 5 and the display 7.

Next, the operation of the fault display device of the present invention will be explained.

First, when a fault message from the information processing device 1 is transmitted through the communication line 3 to the receiving circuit 4, the receiving circuit 4 converts the message into a character string and transmits it to the comparison circuit 6. Comparison circuit 6
compares the character string with character strings of multiple types of failure messages stored in advance in the message pattern storage memory 6, and if the result matches any of these character strings, the matching failure message is used. A display signal corresponding to the display signal is transmitted to the display device 7. Is the display 7 the relevant display signal? When received, the white indicator lamp lights up and an audible sound is generated.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above in detail, the present invention receives all fault messages of an information processing device, compares the contents of the message pattern storage memory in which a plurality of types of fault messages are stored in advance, and detects matching fault messages. It is configured to display a corresponding display.

Therefore, compared to the conventional method, a failure can be displayed at a lower cost and without placing a burden on the control of the information processing device. Moreover, the operator does not need to constantly pay attention to monitoring.
