1 is a block diagram showing a test method according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the abnormal state inspection method of the boiler includes an error history forming step (S10) of storing the generated errors to form an error history, an error history of transmitting setting information and an error history of the boiler to a computer, and Setting information transmission step (S20), an abnormal state checking step (S30) for checking an abnormal state from the setting information and error history, a user confirmation step (S40) for confirming that a user recognizes a dangerous error, and the dangerous error Is made to the administrator confirmation step (S50) to confirm by sending to the network to the administrator.

The error history forming step (S10) refers to a step of detecting an error of the boiler through a detection unit installed in the boiler, and forming an error history by sequentially storing the information detected by the detection unit in a memory.

This is a step of making data to easily identify the main error occurrence area of the boiler where errors occur frequently by storing errors generated in the boiler sequentially in a memory to form an error history.

In addition, the error history and setting information transmission step (S20) refers to a step of transmitting the error history stored in the memory and the setting information of the boiler set in the control unit by the user through the control unit of the boiler to the computer connected to the control unit.

This is a step of transmitting the current setting state of the boiler and the stored error history to the computer connected to the control unit of the boiler to check the abnormal state of the boiler.

In addition, the user confirmation step (S40) refers to a step of confirming to the user by outputting the dangerous error to the outside through the computer after extracting the dangerous error from the error history transmitted to the computer.

This allows the user to recognize that a dangerous error has occurred in the boiler, so that the user can check the dangerous error extracted from the error extraction module programmed in the computer.

In addition, the manager confirmation step (S50) refers to a step of transmitting the extracted risk error to the administrator's computer through a network and outputting it externally through the administrator's computer to confirm it to the administrator.

This means that when the user fails to check the dangerous error by the user confirmation step (S40), the administrator can promptly notify the user of the dangerous situation or the administrator can directly dispatch the risk to solve the dangerous situation.

In addition, in the error history and setting information transmission step (S20), the data transmission between the control unit of the boiler and the computer is preferably performed by wireless transmission and reception, which is generally installed in a state where the main body of the boiler and the user's computer are far apart. This is to solve this problem so that the data can be transmitted and received smoothly.

In addition, it is preferable that the external output through the computer is output as an image through a monitor connected to the computer so as to be visually recognized or output through the speaker connected to the computer so that it can be perceived acoustically. It is to inform users that dangerous error has occurred through image and sound through and speaker to raise awareness of dangerous error.

Therefore, the abnormal state inspection method of the boiler is a method to quickly and accurately identify the abnormal state of the boiler and to respond quickly to this abnormal state.

2 is a flowchart showing a test method according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, when an error occurs in the operating unit of the boiler in a state in which the boiler is normally operated, the detector of the boiler detects the error (S1).

The error detected by the detection unit is input to the control unit of the boiler, and the control unit stores the detected error in the memory (S2).

When the storage of the error is completed in the memory, the controller grasps that a signal for transmitting an error history is input (S3), and if there is no input of the error history transmission signal, the controller feeds back to the error detection step (S1) and continues to see an error. Detect and store them sequentially.

When the error history transmission signal is input from the computer to the controller, the controller transmits the error history formed by sequentially storing the errors generated in the boiler and the setting information set in the controller to the computer (S4).

The computer receiving the setting information and the error history from the control unit checks the abnormal state of the boiler through the setting information and the error history (S5).

When the inspection of the abnormal state of the boiler is completed by the computer, the computer determines whether a dangerous error has occurred from the transmitted error history (S6), and if there is no dangerous error by the determination of the computer, and displays a test result. Quit.

If it is determined that there is a dangerous error from the error history transmitted by the computer, the computer operates an error extraction module to extract dangerous errors from the error history (S7).

The computer outputs the extracted dangerous error to the outside through a monitor or a speaker so that the user can easily recognize the dangerous situation (S8).

When the external output of the dangerous error is completed by the computer, the computer operates the error transmission module to transmit to the network of the administrator that the dangerous error has occurred (S9).

The administrator's computer receiving the dangerous error transmitted to the network outputs the dangerous error to the outside through a monitor or speaker connected to the administrator's computer so that the administrator can recognize that a dangerous situation has occurred (S10). do.

In this way, the manager can quickly recognize the risk error, so that the user can directly notify the user of the risk situation or go to the site to take action and respond to the risk situation quickly.
