 図2は、図1に示した生産システム1における生産監視システムの構成を示す図である。 
 図2に示すように、生産監視システム2は、上記の、8台のPLC20と、生産監視装置30と、パトライト(登録商標)40と、表示装置50とにより構成される。
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a configuration of a production monitoring system in the production system 1 shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, the production monitoring system 2 includes the above-mentioned eight PLCs 20, a production monitoring device 30, a patrol light (registered trademark) 40, and a display device 50.
 PLC20は、主に通信部21と、制御部22と、記憶部23とを有する。 The PLC 20 mainly has a communication unit 21, a control unit 22, and a storage unit 23.
 通信部21は、生産設備10、11・・・より設備データを取得し、その取得したデータを生産監視装置30に送る。 The communication unit 21 acquires equipment data from the production equipment 10, 11, ..., And sends the acquired data to the production monitoring device 30.
 制御部22と、PLC20全体を包括的に制御する。例えば、制御部22は、通信部21を介して生産設備10、11・・・とこのPLC20との間の通信異常を検出する検出部として機能する。例えば、生産設備10、11・・・との間の通信路25が断線(図中「×」で示す。)があれば、生産設備10、11・・・からデータがこなくなる(応答しなくなる)ので、通信異常として検出する。なお、生産設備10、11・・・のうち1つの生産設備からデータがこなくなった場合には、当該1つの生産設備との間の通信路25の通信異常として検出する。なお、当該生産設備の破損等による異常とみなしてもよい。 Comprehensively controls the control unit 22 and the entire PLC 20. For example, the control unit 22 functions as a detection unit that detects a communication abnormality between the production facilities 10, 11 ... And the PLC 20 via the communication unit 21. For example, if the communication path 25 between the production facilities 10, 11 ... Is disconnected (indicated by "x" in the figure), data will not be received from the production facilities 10, 11 ... (No response). ), So it is detected as a communication error. When data is lost from one of the production facilities 10, 11, ..., It is detected as a communication abnormality of the communication path 25 with the one production facility. In addition, it may be regarded as an abnormality due to damage to the production equipment.
 本実施形態に係るPLC20には、SDメモリカードやUSBメモリなどの外部メモリ24が接続可能とされている。外部メモリ24には、通信部21を介して受信した生産設備10、11・・・からの設備データが一旦蓄積され、PLC20から生産監視装置30へは、通信部21を介して外部メモリ24に蓄積された設備データが送信される。これにより、内部メモリとしての記憶部23のメモリ容量不足に柔軟に対応できる。特に、上記のようにアナログデータ(波形データ)を設備データとして扱うような場合には、データ量が膨大になるために、このような外部メモリ24を用いて容量の柔軟性を図ることは有用である。なお、外部メモリ24を用いずに記憶部23に設備データを保持するようにしても勿論構わない。 An external memory 24 such as an SD memory card or a USB memory can be connected to the PLC 20 according to the present embodiment. Equipment data from the production equipments 10, 11 ... Received via the communication unit 21 is temporarily stored in the external memory 24, and the PLC 20 is transferred to the production monitoring device 30 in the external memory 24 via the communication unit 21. The accumulated equipment data is transmitted. As a result, it is possible to flexibly cope with the shortage of the memory capacity of the storage unit 23 as the internal memory. In particular, when analog data (waveform data) is treated as equipment data as described above, the amount of data becomes enormous, so it is useful to use such an external memory 24 for capacity flexibility. Is. Of course, the equipment data may be stored in the storage unit 23 without using the external memory 24.
 生産監視装置30は、主に、通信部31と、制御部32と、記憶部33とを有する。 The production monitoring device 30 mainly has a communication unit 31, a control unit 32, and a storage unit 33.
 通信部31は、PLC20より、設備データ及びPLC20で検出された通信異常に関するデータを受信する。 The communication unit 31 receives the equipment data and the data related to the communication abnormality detected by the PLC 20 from the PLC 20.
 制御部32は、PLC20との間での通信異常を検出する検出部としての機能を有する。例えば、PLC20との間の通信路34が断線(図中「×」で示す。)があれば、PLC20からデータがこなくなる(応答しなくなる)ので、当該PLC20との間の通信異常として検出する。 The control unit 32 has a function as a detection unit for detecting a communication abnormality with the PLC 20. For example, if the communication path 34 with the PLC 20 is disconnected (indicated by "x" in the figure), data will not come from the PLC 20 (no response), so it will be detected as a communication abnormality with the PLC 20. ..
 制御部32は、通信部31による受信結果及び制御部32による上記の検出部としての検出結果に基づき、生産設備10、11・・・の異常、生産設備10、11・・・とPLC20との間の通信異常及びPLC20と当該生産監視装置30の間の通信異常を、それぞれ区別して警告する情報を出力する警告情報出力部として機能する。また、制御部32は、生産監視装置30から出力された警告情報に基づき、生産設備10、11・・・の異常、生産設備10、11・・・とPLC20との間の通信異常及びPLC20と生産監視装置30との間の通信異常を、それぞれ異なる色で発光するパトライト(登録商標)を画面上に表示する表示データを出力するパトライト(登録商標)表示データ出力部として機能する。 Based on the reception result by the communication unit 31 and the detection result as the above-mentioned detection unit by the control unit 32, the control unit 32 causes an abnormality in the production facilities 10, 11 ..., The production facilities 10, 11 ... And the PLC 20. It functions as a warning information output unit that outputs information that separately warns the communication abnormality between the two and the communication abnormality between the PLC 20 and the production monitoring device 30. Further, based on the warning information output from the production monitoring device 30, the control unit 32 causes an abnormality in the production facilities 10, 11 ..., a communication abnormality between the production facilities 10, 11 ... And the PLC 20, and the PLC 20.
