Description

The invention relates to the field of automated workstations (hereinafter AWP) of operators of mobile and stationary control points of automated control systems (hereinafter ACS) by various (including mobile) objects and can be used in electronic products operating in unheated rooms and compartments in conditions of the far north or the Arctic zone, at a low ambient temperature from minus 65 ° C to minus 40 ° C (for example, in unheated hangars, service and technological compartments of various objects).

Control systems for moving objects are the most complex technical systems, the management of which requires the display of a large amount of changing information from various objects and control systems, which requires multiple screens. When using liquid crystal displays (LCD displays) at low temperatures, additional time is required for them to enter the operating mode of operation after switching on. During this time, the LCD displays are heated by internal or external heating systems. The launch of complexes containing several powerful engines, pumps of fuel systems, at low temperatures, requires control of the modes at the initial moments of operation, including during the time the displays reach their operating modes. Given the need to wait for the displayed information on the display screens, the total launch time of the complex increases, which is unacceptable in the Arctic zone during hangarless storage or in case of failure of devices that provide microclimate of the equipment in use.

Currently, multi-screen monitors are known, for example, the MD230x3 or MD230x6 brands developed by Samsung (http://www.samsung.com/-ua_ru/consumer/computer-printer/monitors/old/LS23MURHB/EN), consisting of three or six LCD panels, united by a frame design, using which it is possible to display video information from various sources of video signals or from a single source with a video image displayed on a single screen formed by displays.

Also, specialized multiscreen devices are known, for example, a unified console module (UPM) developed at OJSC Concern NPO Aurora OJSC). UPM hardware has two independent control and information processing channels, each with a separate computing unit (system unit) and a separate means of information display (monitor). The UPM device contains two-channel information input tools that are connected to both information management and processing channels:

- universal 10-inch touch panel;

- small-sized functional keyboard;

- trackball (trackball) to control the cursor on the monitor screen.

The disadvantages of these analogues: these devices can only work in heated rooms, mainly at positive ambient temperatures; being large-sized devices, they are located, as a rule, in large compartments of moving objects or in spacious stationary rooms.

The closest technical solution (prototype) to the claimed device is an automated workstation of an operator of an automated control system (RF Patent No. 2133497, G06F 15/00, published on 07.20.1999), containing at least one processor and RAM device in the housing a display with a long turn-on time with a power supply connected to it, a satellite navigation system receiver with an antenna, a keyboard, electrical connectors.

The disadvantages of the prototype: the start-up time is significant, and the simultaneous heating of all displays leads to increased power consumption; the use of the same types of displays, even with heating systems, cannot provide a turn-on time of less than 10 minutes in an arctic zone; displays are structurally combined around the main display and do not provide diversity or connection of an additional (remote) display.

The technical result of the claimed invention is the provision of a minimum turn-on time for an automated control system workstation, including in unheated rooms and compartments, in the conditions of the far north or the Arctic zone at an ambient temperature from minus 65 ° C to minus 40 ° C.

The technical result is achieved in that the information display device comprises a processor and a random access memory device, at least one display with a long turn-on time with a power supply connected to it, a satellite navigation receiver with an antenna, a keyboard, electrical connectors, and also contains a processor the module, which includes the processor and the RAM device, contains a cross-board, to which the processor module, power supply, system receiver are connected via electrical connectors satellite navigation with an antenna, a keyboard, a video controller module and an input-output module, and also connected electrical connectors through a filter unit, and also contains at least one display with a short turn-on time with a power supply connected to it; inside the display with a short turn-on time and the display with a long turn-on time, temperature sensors are installed, the outputs of which are connected to the cross-board, button frames are made on the front surface of the displays, the outputs of which are connected to the input-output module. Moreover, the processor module contains an additional output for the display with a long turn-on time. Moreover, the power supply is made in the form of at least a high voltage module and a low voltage module. Moreover, the processor module is made in the form of an electronic unit with a mezzanine board, while the processor module, I / O module, video controller module, low voltage power module and high voltage power module are removable and installed in at least one housing made in the form crete. Moreover, displays with long and short turn-on times are made in the form of packaged devices.

The salient features of the claimed technical solution are the following features:

- the processor and RAM device are included in the processor module;

- a processor module, a power supply, a satellite navigation system receiver with an antenna, a keyboard, a video controller module and an input-output module are connected to the cross-board through electrical connectors, and input electrical connectors are connected through a filter unit;

- made at least one display with a short turn-on time with a power supply connected to it;

- inside the display with a short turn-on time and the display with a long turn-on time, temperature sensors are installed, the outputs of which are connected to the cross-board;

- on the front surface of the displays are button frames, the outputs of which are connected to the input-output module.

In contrast to the prototype, the specified set of essential distinguishing features of the claimed technical solution along with the well-known features of the prior art allows the information display device to provide a minimum turn-on time of the automated workstation (ACS) when working in unheated rooms and compartments in the extreme north or arctic zone at ambient temperature environment from minus 65 ° C to minus 40 ° C and reduce power consumption.

The invention is illustrated by the drawings shown in FIG. 12.

The information display device (Fig. 1, 2) contains a processor module 1 (PM), including a processor 2 and a device 3 of random access memory (OOP). The processor module 1, installed in the slot of the crate structure of the housing 4, is connected to the cross-board 5. The device also contains a video controller module 6 (MVK), a power supply 7, an input-output module (MVV) 8, connected by connectors to the cross-board 5. PM 1 is also connected to the cross-board 5. The power supply unit 7 consists of a high voltage power module (MPVN) 9 and a low voltage power module 10 (MPNN).

The presence in the device of a cross-board 5 allows you to simplify the assembly and replacement of electronic modules - PM1, MVK 6, power supply 7, MVV 8, and also ensure compliance with the requirements of electromagnetic compatibility of electronic modules and the entire device as a whole. PM 1, MVK 6, MVV 8, MPVN 9, MPNN 10 are made in the form of replaceable electronic units. MVK 6, MVV 8, MPVN 9, MPNN 10 are installed in the corresponding slots of the crate structure of the housing 4 and contain mating parts of electrical connectors (not shown in Fig. 1, 2) corresponding to the parts of the electrical connectors of the cross-board 5. PM 1 structurally can be made in the form of a removable unit with a mezzanine board. PM 1, MVK 6, MVV 8, MPVN 9, MPNN 10 are interchangeable and installed, for example, in one housing 4, made in the form of a rack. The implementation of PM 1, MVK 6, MVV 8, MPVN 9, MPNN 10 in the form of replaceable electronic units allows you to repair any module by simply replacing it with a similar module, and the design of PM 1 with a mezzanine board allows you to vary the computing capabilities of PM 1 by quickly replacing the element base of the mezzanine board . The proposed device also contains, for example, one display 11 with a long turn-on time (more than 5 minutes) and, for example, one display 12 with a short turn-on time (less than 1 minute), which are connected to power supplies 7, and the other inputs of the displays are connected to the MVK 6.

As a display 11 with a long turn-on time, a liquid crystal display with a diagonal of up to 15 inches with an integrated heating system (not shown in Fig. 1, 2) can be used. As the display 12 can be used a plasma gas discharge display with a diagonal of up to 15 inches produced by JSC "Plasma", Ryazan. Displays 11, 12 are made in the form of packaged devices with the possibility of their installation on the dashboards of a moving object. So, for example, the display 12 can be installed either on the object panel common with the display 11 (not shown in Fig. 1, 2), or on a remote object panel of its own (not shown in Fig. 1, 2), which provides an exploded design of the proposed devices. Inside the displays 11, 12, temperature sensors 13 are installed, the outputs of which are connected to the cross-board 5 through the corresponding electrical connectors.

On the front surface of the displays 11, 12, button frames 15 are made, the outputs of which are connected to the MVV 8 for generating control signals for frames and information display sessions, which are sent to the PM 1 through the cross-board 5. In addition, the display 11 can be connected to the PM 1 through an additional (backup) output (not shown in Fig. 1, 2) located in PM 1. This allows for autonomous testing of the performance of PM 1 and its software. Displays 11, 12 can be connected to the information display device both simultaneously and separately, depending on operating conditions. The number of displays 11, 12 of the device can be increased (Fig. 2) to the required number. A receiver 17 of satellite navigation signals (CCH) with a CCH antenna 18, as well as a keyboard 19, for controlling all modes of the proposed device, including brightness, contrast, page control, etc., are connected to the corresponding inputs of the PM 1 through the electrical connectors of the cross-board 5. Between the cross-circuit board 5 and the electrical connectors 14, a filter block 16 is included, which provides both filtering various interference and electromagnetic compatibility of the proposed device with other equipment.

The information display device operates as follows. When applying power and incoming signals from the automated control system to the electrical connectors 14, one part of the signals enters the filter block 16 to remove industrial noise, and the other part of the signals enters the cross-board 5, where it is distributed between the electronic modules - PM1, MVK 6, MVV 8 , MPVN 9, MPNN 10 located inside the housing 4.

At the same time, the signals from the keyboard 19 of the receiver 17 of the SSN with the antenna 18 are received through the electrical connectors 14 to the cross-board 5 and then to the PM 1, where they are processed by the processor 2 and stored in UOP 3 to form the displayed information. The structure of the information display device provides redundancy of the displayed information and the ability to automatically transmit the displayed information in the event of failure of individual displays to displays that maintain operability, while the replacement of PM 1 is not required. The information processed in this way is transmitted through a cross-board 5 to MVK 6, which summarizes the PM 1 signals and input signals and forms the final image, which is displayed on the displays 11, 12. MPVN 9 and MPNN 10 of the power supply 7 form the necessary supply voltages for displays 11 and 12.

Due to the fact that it takes time to heat the display 11 to work in low temperature conditions, the information is displayed on the display 12, which allows the operator to analyze the information displayed on the display and make decisions about the state of the control object instantly. As soon as the display 11 reaches the operating mode and the ACS is functioning normally, the display 12 can be put into standby mode or turned off to save energy. The display 12 can be turned off by the operator or by means of the workstation according to the results of the analysis of the temperature sensors 13. The temperature measurement results of the displays 11 and 12 from the temperature sensors 13 are transmitted to the MVV 8 through the cross-board 5 and then to the PM 1, which generates a shutdown command or generates a message about the possibility of turning off the display 12. PM 1 has its own video output for connecting an additional display 11 or 12 (shown by a dotted line), which provides the ability to connect additional ARM display.

When you click on the buttons of the button frames 15, the outputs of which are connected to MVV 8, the formation of control signals for frames and information display sessions on each of the screens, which through the cross-board 5 enter the PM 1.

Thanks to the above, the information display device has a rapidly changing (maintainable and scalable) structure, from the minimum with one display, to the application of any required number of displays required to solve the tasks of managing and displaying information (Fig. 2), consistent with the number of operators, the amount of information and decision time. In addition, the information display device can be implemented both in the mobile version (portable, transportable, etc.), and in the stationary version of multi-user automated control systems related to various temperature conditions of work (remote workplaces, such as towers, wells, unheated compartments, individual posts, etc.). The device increases the autonomy of the workstation by reducing the turn-on time from 10-15 minutes to 1 minute, which significantly reduces its power consumption in the Arctic zone.

The use of various types of displays leads to the fact that the information display device ensures the rational use of energy resources at low temperatures, providing more efficient energy consumption from autonomous power sources. It is possible to include the necessary means of displaying information depending on environmental conditions (temperature, lighting, etc.) due to the exclusion of the operation of heating systems for LCD displays. This circumstance is especially important during short-term (about 2-3 minutes) turning on (maintenance sessions) of equipment.

The information display device has its own means of monitoring and indicating the state when the ACS enters the operating modes, which is especially important when operating the ACS in low temperature conditions.

The application of the proposed technical solution allows for the preservation of technological, energy, pumping, etc. equipment during re-preservation, open storage and in emergency situations, and also provides an operational troubleshooting and quick replacement of a failed device, if any, is provided for by the design.

The introduction of various types of displays into the display device and the use of the modular design of electronic units provides a ready-to-operate time for the mobile control systems of ACS for moving objects in less than 1 minute in the Arctic zone, in unheated rooms, in service and technological compartments of objects operating at low air temperatures from minus 65 ° C to minus 40 ° C. Thus, the proposed technical solution helps to reduce the total time the facility is ready for work.

The device can be implemented using serial LCD displays, for example, manufactured by CJSC NPF DOLOMANT BS04 or ONIX-12 and plasma indicators, for example, manufactured by OJSC PLAZMA V40GP640.480.TS1 VAFYA.467844.048 TU. Electronic modules and housing in the form of subracks can be manufactured at the instrument-making enterprise using components in accordance with Euromechanics standards, for example IEC 60297-3-101. When coordinating the hardware and software structure of the workstation, it is possible to place electronic modules in separate buildings with a rack structure in accordance with the requirements of Euromechanics standards.

Thus, the proposed invention is technically feasible and industrially feasible at the instrument-making enterprise.

The claimed technical solution has differences from the closest analogues, respectively, it satisfies the condition of patentability of the invention of "novelty."

The claimed technical solution does not explicitly follow from the prior art. In addition, in the process of patent search did not reveal technical solutions having features that match the distinctive features of the claimed technical solution.

From the foregoing, we can conclude that the proposed technical solution meets the conditions of patentability of the invention, namely it is new, has an inventive step and is industrially applicable.
