The present invention relates to an NCC module and an implementation method thereof on an MMI program. More specifically, the present invention enables a NCC (Nautical Conning Console) module to be output on an MMI program, thereby enabling monitoring and control of the MMI and NCC functions performed on two or more systems in a single system And a method for implementing the NCC module.

The NCC (Nautical Conning Console) analyzes, analyzes, and displays the vessel's navigational data in real time, in real time, to ensure safe and efficient navigation of the vessel.

That is, it is possible to prevent collision between ships, stranding or distress caused by bad weather, and to monitor the operation status of the ship. The control of the ship operation is performed by observing the behavior of the vessels operating around the ground using the radar of the ground control station and performing the control instruction and the danger warning through voice radio. By using the NCC, the information acquired through the radar can be efficiently displayed and used for the operation of the ship, and the risk of operating the ship without recognizing the necessary information during the operation can be reduced. In addition, the navigation ability and efficiency which can be different according to people can be reduced to the utmost. The NCC can basically provide predicted drift areas such as expected drift regions considering the marine condition of the sea area in a bad weather condition in addition to a navigation situation of a ship to be sailed and a primitive forecasting route forecast function. In addition, it is possible to provide a danger warning function that takes into account the accurate prediction of ship behavior and the weather conditions of the surrounding waters and the condition of the sea floor (water depth, reef, etc.).

Typically, NCCs that ensure efficient navigation are implemented in a wide variety of ways, often by controlling multiple systems by engineering support through engineering workstations such as personal computers that are operated by the operator. The NCC has a configuration and a function or a similar configuration and function for performing the intended purpose for controlling the ship.

On the other hand, a MMI (Man Machine Interface) is an interface between a user and a control device, and collectively refers to an interface for monitoring a specific system or device and controlling the system or device.
In the present invention, the MMI is a device for displaying status information of a ship and controlling a plurality of drive devices (for example, valves and pumps, etc.) installed on the ship.
For example, the MMI displays information necessary for the operation of the ship, such as the state of the ship engine, the operating state of the pump mounted on the ship, and the presence or absence of a valve, to the operator of the ship. The MMI as described above acquires data on the operational state of the ship and the information currently being processed, and uses the data to operate the ship.
When an abnormality occurs in a specific device, the user is notified of the abnormality, and control for solving the abnormal condition is performed by the user's operation.

Conventionally, there has been a problem in that the operating system of the ship carries out each function on the system of each of the NCC and the MMI and displays it on the ship operator so that the user installs and monitors both systems. Therefore, there is a problem in that both the time and space consumption is large in the installation of the two systems, and the system must be monitored and controlled in the system operation.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention aims to enable an NCC module to be output on an MMI program in order to perform an NCC function on an MMI program. In addition, by implementing the interface for setting the data item to be displayed on each module and implementing the function of displaying the corresponding data on the NCC module of the MMI screen, the user can select a different station It is aimed to make it possible to use not only the MMI function but also the NCC function on the operation station without using a system.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a device including at least one navigation device and a sensor, An MCU server for converting a data type of data measured through the device; An I / O server for receiving data converted through the MCU server; An OPS that executes an MMI program to convert data transmitted through the I / O server into data that can be monitored by a user and performs a user interface function to display the converted data; And an alarm printer for interlocking with the OPS and recording the alarm signal when an alarm signal is generated, wherein the OPS generates a control signal corresponding to the request when the control request is input by the user, / O server, and the I / O server transmits the control signal to the corresponding device.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a navigation system including: receiving navigation related information from a device at an MCU server; The MCU server receiving the data processing the data into data usable on the MMI OPS; Transmitting the processed data to an I / O server; The I / O server transmitting the data to the OPS using a communication protocol with the OPS; Processing the OPS having received the data so as to output the received data on the MMI screen through a data processing operation; Confirming whether the processed data coincides with a preset alarm condition; An alarm processing operation is performed when the processed data matches the alarm condition; And recording an alarm signal through the alarm processing job through the alarm printer. When an operation signal for operating the device from a user is input to the MMI OPS, the MMI OPS controls the operation corresponding to the operation signal Generating a signal; Transmitting the generated control signal to an I / O server; Transmitting, by the I / O server, the received control signal to the device; And a step in which the corresponding device operates according to a control signal received from the NMI module.

Here, the alarm signal through the alarm processing operation is performed by outputting corresponding data on the module. And outputting the data on the module when the processed data does not match the alarm condition, thereby terminating the operating process of the NCC module.

 The present invention has the effect of enabling the NCC module to be output on the MMI program in order to perform the NCC function on the MMI program. In addition, by implementing an interface for setting data items to be displayed on each module and implementing the function of displaying the corresponding data on the module of the MMI screen, a user can perform a separate function such as a station or a system So that not only the MMI function but also the NCC function can be used on the operation station.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below, and the same scope of the invention may be suggested by adding, limiting, deleting, adding, or the like to components within the scope of the present invention to a person skilled in the art It will be possible.

1 is a diagram showing a moving structure of data transmitted from a device on a ship control and monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the present invention includes a device 100 including a plurality of navigation devices and sensors, an MCU server 110 for converting a data type of data measured through the device 100, An I / O server 120 receiving data converted through the I / O server 110, an OPS 130 receiving data transmitted through the I / O server 120, And an alarm printer 140 for recording the alarm signal when an alarm signal is generated.

More specifically, the device 100 refers to equipment necessary for navigation (including valves and pumps installed inside the vessel) and sensors. An MCU server 110 interworking with the device 100 receives the data from the device 100 and converts the data into a data type used on an OPS 130 To the I / O server (server) 120. The I / O server 120 transmits data received from the MCU server 110 to the OPS 130. The OPS 130 receives the data and transmits the received data to the I / Based workstation that acts as a user interface that can be directly monitored or controlled by the user through a program.
Here, the workstation refers to a high-performance computer or the like manufactured by an individual or a small number of people for use in special fields. Accordingly, the work station includes an output device (not shown) such as a monitor for displaying data and an input device (not shown) such as a keyboard and a mouse. It is a matter of course that the input device includes buttons, switches, and the like.
The MMI program is loaded on the OPS 130 and processes the input data through the I / O server 120 to convert the data. The converted data is transmitted to the OPS 130 through an output device of the OPS Is displayed.
Accordingly, the user confirms the displayed information and monitors the status of the device 100. FIG.
Meanwhile, the user who confirms the displayed information performs an operation for normalizing the abnormal state when an abnormal state occurs during monitoring of the displayed information.
For example, when the hydraulic pressure in the flow pipe is lowered, the user controls the hydraulic pump for raising the hydraulic pressure of the flow pipe, or controls the operation of the valve installed in the flow pipe.
If the user operates the valve switch to change the state of the valve from the ON state to the OFF state, the OPS generates a control signal corresponding to the operation of the valve switch and transmits it to the I / O server 120 The I / O server 120 transmits the generated control signal to the corresponding device 100, that is, the valve switch, and the valve switch is turned off by the transmitted control signal.
Therefore, it is possible to monitor the device 100 and control the device 100. [
The alarm printer 140, which is linked to the OPS 130, receives the information from the OPS 130 when an alarm is generated, and prints the information.

By using the present invention, it is possible to manage and control the respective data managed by the two systems in a single system, and it is possible to receive and process the alarm information using the separate communication method from the NCC system, The user can immediately perform an alarm process using the data value transmitted from the OPS 130. The user performs an operation corresponding to the alarm and releases the alarm status according to the execution result, Data management, monitoring, and control. This has the advantage of reducing spatial and temporal costs and facilitating management.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an operation process of the NCC module on the MMI according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The present invention can perform both the NCC function and the MMI OPS function on one station through the pre-created MMI screen configuration without having to perform the NCC function and the MMI function separately in two or more separately configured systems. Therefore, it is possible to perform NCC and MMI OPS functions on one station in a short time, and alarm can be generated in the event of an alarm condition.

Referring to FIG. 2, the MCU server 110 receiving the data from the device 100 (S100) converts the data to a data type that can be used in the OPS 130 (S110). The MCU server 110 transmits data in a form usable on the OPS 130 to the I / O server 120 (S120). The I / O server 120 transmits the data to the OPS 130 using a communication protocol with the OPS 130 (S130). The OPS 130, which has received the data from the I / O server 120, processes the data received through the data processing operation so as to output the received data on the MMI screen at step S140. It is checked whether or not the processed data coincides with the alarm condition set in advance, and if the data match, the alarm processing operation is performed. More specifically, it is determined whether the alarm generation condition is satisfied (S150). If the alarm generation condition is satisfied, the alarm processing operation is performed (S160). The alarm signal through the alarm processing operation is performed by outputting the corresponding data on the module (S170). On the other hand, if it is determined in step S150 that the alarm generation condition is not satisfied, the operation process of the NCC module is completed by simply outputting the corresponding data on the module. 3 is an example of the output of the OPS 130 configured and arranged on the MMI screen of each module that performs the NCC role.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a final implementation of an NCC module on an MMI according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the NCC module on the MMI may provide the GPS information of the ship, the speed of the ship, the strength and direction of the wind, the depth and the compass, etc., And may be modified or added within a range that is obvious to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs.

In addition, the NCC function appearing on the MMI program may be implemented in a module form. To this end, the MMI program may provide an NCC wizard function for implementing the NNC function in a module form.
In addition, the MMI program may be provided to enable and change a display configuration so as to output an NCC function on an MMI screen, and to set and change data items displayed in the NNC function.

The present invention has the effect of enabling the NCC module to be output on the MMI program in order to perform the NCC function on the MMI program. In addition, by implementing an interface for setting data items to be displayed on each module and implementing the function of displaying the corresponding data on the module of the MMI screen, a user can perform a separate function such as a station or a system So that not only the MMI function but also the NCC function can be used on the operation station.
