The local controller 320 inputs/outputs various input/output signals of the automatic control facilities 430 and 440 via the I/O interface.
 各自動制御設備は、制御動作を行うための機器を備える。当該機器は、複数の計測機器および複数の制御機器を含む。たとえば、空調設備410は、機器として計測機器群411と制御機器群412とを含む。入出力信号は、制御動作に関連する信号であり、計測機器から出力される信号および制御機器に入力される信号である。 Each automatic control facility is equipped with equipment for performing control actions. The instrument includes a plurality of measuring instruments and a plurality of controlling instruments. For example, the air conditioner 410 includes a measuring device group 411 and a control device group 412 as devices. An input/output signal is a signal related to control operation, and is a signal output from a measuring device and a signal input to a control device.
 後述するように、計測機器群411には、室内形温度検出器等が含まれる。制御機器群412には、冷温水二方弁等が含まれる。たとえば、空調設備410は、計測機器群411のうち室内形温度検出器と制御機器群412のうち冷温水二方弁を用いて、制御動作として室内温度制御を実行する。このような制御動作は、後述する図10,図11に示される動作説明書において説明される。 As will be described later, the measuring equipment group 411 includes an indoor temperature detector and the like. The control device group 412 includes a cold/hot water two-way valve and the like. For example, the air conditioner 410 uses an indoor temperature detector in the measuring device group 411 and a cold/hot water two-way valve in the control device group 412 to perform indoor temperature control as a control operation. Such a control operation will be explained in the operation manual shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, which will be described later.

 また、MNT500を用いて、空調設備410,照明設備420,自動制御設備430,440のパラメータを変更可能である。パラメータは、各自動制御設備における制御動作を変更するためのデータである。たとえば、室内温度をPID制御で行う場合における、P,I,Dの各パラメータである。 Also, the MNT 500 can be used to change the parameters of the air conditioning equipment 410, the lighting equipment 420, and the automatic control equipment 430, 440. A parameter is data for changing the control operation in each automatic control facility. For example, parameters P, I, and D when the indoor temperature is controlled by PID.
 このようなパラメータは、保守員が使用するMNT500からでしか変更できず、客先(オーナーやビルの管理者)が使用する中央監視装置100からは変更することができない。また、MNT500では監視可能であるが、中央監視装置100では監視することができない入出力信号が存在する。このような違いがあるため、動作説明書(客先用)と動作説明書(保守用)とで記載内容を異ならせている。 Such parameters can only be changed from the MNT 500 used by maintenance personnel, and cannot be changed from the central monitoring device 100 used by customers (owners and building managers). Also, there are input/output signals that can be monitored by the MNT 500 but cannot be monitored by the central monitoring device 100 . Due to such differences, the operation manual (for customers) and the operation manual (for maintenance) have different descriptions.

 CPU11は、S12において、機器対応表を用いて機器情報から機器記号および機器名称を取得する。図5,図6の例では、項目「Tsitunai」(室内系統計測の項目「温度」)において選択肢「〇」が選択されているため、機器記号「TE1」および機器名称「室内形温度検出器」が取得される。また、項目「ReionV」(バルブの項目「冷温水」)において選択肢「比例二方弁」が選択されているため、機器記号「MV4」および機器名称「冷温水二方弁」が取得される。 At S12, the CPU 11 acquires the device symbol and device name from the device information using the device correspondence table. In the examples of FIGS. 5 and 6, the item "Tsitunai" (indoor system measurement item "temperature") has the option "o" selected, so the device symbol "TE1" and the device name "indoor temperature detector" is obtained. In addition, since the option "proportional two-way valve" is selected in the item "ReionV" (valve item "chilled/hot water"), the device symbol "MV4" and the device name "chilled/hot water two-way valve" are acquired.
 図4を用いた例では、入力項目「温度制御」において丸印が選択され、サブ項目「制御対象」において「室内」が選択されている。これにより、CPU11は、計測機器群411のうち室内温度制御(制御動作)に対応する室内形温度検出器と、制御機器群412のうち室内温度制御に対応する冷温水二方弁(制御機器)とを設定する。 In the example using FIG. 4, a circle is selected in the input item "temperature control", and "indoor" is selected in the sub-item "controlled object". As a result, the CPU 11 controls the indoor temperature detector corresponding to the indoor temperature control (control operation) in the measuring device group 411 and the cold/hot water two-way valve (control device) corresponding to the indoor temperature control in the control device group 412 . and
 CPU11は、S13において、i=0に設定する。CPU11は、S14において、iに1を加えた値をiとして設定する。CPU11は、S15において、制御動作情報のi番目の制御項目(「制御i」とも称する)を抽出する。 The CPU 11 sets i=0 in S13. In S14, the CPU 11 sets a value obtained by adding 1 to i as i. In S15, the CPU 11 extracts the i-th control item (also referred to as "control i") of the control action information.
 具体的には、図4において、上から順に、温度制御が制御1であり、給気温度設定自動変更が制御2であり、湿度制御が制御3であり、外気冷房制御が制御4である。最初にS15を実行する場合は、CPU11は、制御動作情報の1番目の制御項目(制御1)を抽出する。この場合、CPU11は、「温度制御」を抽出する。 Specifically, in FIG. 4, temperature control is control 1, automatic supply temperature setting change is control 2, humidity control is control 3, and outside air cooling control is control 4, in order from the top. When executing S15 first, the CPU 11 extracts the first control item (control 1) of the control action information. In this case, the CPU 11 extracts "temperature control".
 CPU11は、S16において、制御iに設定があったか否かを判定する。CPU11は、制御iに設定があったと判定した場合(S16においてYES)は、処理をS17に進める。CPU11は、制御iに設定があったと判定しなかった場合(S16においてNO)は、処理をS18に進める。図4の例では、CPU11は、制御1(温度制御)に設定があったと判定する。 The CPU 11 determines in S16 whether or not control i has been set. If the CPU 11 determines that control i has been set (YES in S16), the process proceeds to S17. If the CPU 11 does not determine that control i has been set (NO in S16), the process proceeds to S18. In the example of FIG. 4, the CPU 11 determines that control 1 (temperature control) has been set.
 CPU11は、S17において、説明文生成処理(図14参照)を実行する。制御1(温度制御)が設定されている場合、温度制御についての説明文が生成される。 In S17, the CPU 11 executes the explanation generation process (see FIG. 14). If control 1 (temperature control) is set, a description about temperature control is generated.
 CPU11は、S18において、i=N(全制御項目数)であるか否かを判定する。CPU11は、i=Nであると判定した場合(S18においてYES)は、メイン処理を終了する。CPU11は、i=Nであると判定しなかった場合(S18においてNO)は、処理をS14に戻す。 In S18, the CPU 11 determines whether i=N (total number of control items). When the CPU 11 determines that i=N (YES in S18), it ends the main process. When the CPU 11 does not determine that i=N (NO in S18), the process returns to S14.
 ここで、N(全制御項目数)は、図4において設定可能な全ての制御動作の項目数である。全ての制御動作についての処理が終わった場合はメイン処理を終了し、全ての制御動作についての処理が終わっていない場合は、再度S14に戻る。これにより、次の制御項目についての処理が行われる。 Here, N (total number of control items) is the number of all control action items that can be set in FIG. If all control operations have been processed, the main process is terminated. If all control operations have not been processed, the process returns to S14. As a result, processing for the next control item is performed.
 本例においては、制御2が設定されてないため、給気温度設定自動変更の説明文が生成されない。制御3が設定されているため、湿度制御の説明文が生成される。制御4が設定されてないため、外気冷房制御の説明文が生成されない。 In this example, control 2 is not set, so no explanation for automatic change of supply air temperature setting is generated. Since control 3 is set, a descriptive text for humidity control is generated. Since the control 4 is not set, the description of the outdoor air cooling control is not generated.
 図14は、CPU11が実行する説明書生成処理のフローチャートである。説明文生成処理が開始すると、CPU11は、S21において、制御iの説明文フォーマットデータおよび説明図対応表を選択する。本例においては、i=1の場合に、制御1(温度制御)の説明文フォーマットデータ(図7参照)および説明図対応表(図8)を選択する。 FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the manual generation process executed by the CPU 11. FIG. When the explanatory note generation process is started, the CPU 11 selects the explanatory note format data and the explanatory diagram correspondence table of control i in S21. In this example, when i=1, the explanatory text format data (see FIG. 7) and the explanatory diagram correspondence table (FIG. 8) for control 1 (temperature control) are selected.
 CPU11は、S22において、動作説明書(客先用)の生成指示があったか否かを判定する。CPU11は、動作説明書(客先用)の生成指示があった判定した場合(S22においてYES)は、処理をS23に進める。CPU11は、動作説明書(客先用)の生成指示があったと判定しなかった(動作説明書(保守用)の生成指示があったと判定した)場合(S22においてNO)は、処理をS24に進める。 In S22, the CPU 11 determines whether or not there is an instruction to generate an operation manual (for customers). If the CPU 11 determines that there is an instruction to generate an operation manual (for customer) (YES in S22), the process proceeds to S23. When the CPU 11 does not determine that there is an instruction to generate the operation manual (for customer) (determines that there is an instruction to generate the operation manual (for maintenance)) (NO in S22), the process proceeds to S24. proceed.
 図3の例において、「客先用+保守用」がチェックされているため、1回目のメイン処理において動作説明書(客先用)の生成指示があったと判定し、2回目のメイン処理において動作説明書(保守用)の生成指示があったと判定する。 In the example of FIG. 3, since "for customer + maintenance" is checked, it is determined that there is an instruction to generate an operation manual (for customer) in the first main process, and in the second main process It is determined that there is an instruction to generate an operation manual (for maintenance).
 CPU11は、S23において、保守用に丸印がついたデータを除外して、説明文フォーマットデータに機器記号および機器名称等の情報を入力して説明文を生成し、処理をS26に進める。本例では、図7に示された説明文フォーマットデータから図10に示された客先用の説明文が生成される。 In S23, the CPU 11 excludes the data circled for maintenance, inputs information such as the device symbol and device name into the descriptive text format data, generates descriptive text, and advances the process to S26. In this example, the explanatory note for the customer shown in FIG. 10 is generated from the explanatory note format data shown in FIG.
 CPU11は、S24において、全ての説明文フォーマットデータに機器記号および機器名称等の情報を入力して説明文を生成する。本例では、図7に示された説明文フォーマットデータから図11に示された保守用の説明文が生成される。 In S24, the CPU 11 generates an explanation by inputting information such as the equipment symbol and equipment name into all the explanation format data. In this example, the explanation for maintenance shown in FIG. 11 is generated from the explanation format data shown in FIG.
 CPU11は、S25において、制御ポイントフォーマットデータに機器記号および機器名称等の情報を入力して制御ポイント文を生成し、処理をS26に進める。本例では、図12に示された制御ポイントフォーマットデータから、図12に示された制御ポイント文が生成される。 In S25, the CPU 11 inputs information such as the device symbol and device name into the control point format data to generate a control point sentence, and advances the process to S26. In this example, the control point sentence shown in FIG. 12 is generated from the control point format data shown in FIG.
 CPU11は、S26において、説明図対応表と、機器記号および機器名称等の情報から説明図名称を決定する。CPU11は、S27において、説明図名称に対応する説明図データを取得する。本例では、図8において、説明図名称として「温度4」が決定され、図9において、説明図データとして「温度4.JPG」が取得される。 In S26, the CPU 11 determines the explanatory diagram name from the explanatory diagram correspondence table and information such as the equipment symbol and the equipment name. In S27, the CPU 11 acquires explanatory diagram data corresponding to the explanatory diagram name. In this example, "Temperature 4" is determined as the explanatory diagram name in FIG. 8, and "Temperature 4.JPG" is acquired as the explanatory diagram data in FIG.
 CPU11は、S28において、説明書フォーマットデータに、生成した説明文、説明図、制御ポイント文を追加し、説明文生成処理を終了する。本例においては、1回目のメイン処理において、図10に示した内容の「動作説明書(客先用)」が生成される。また、2回目のメイン処理において、図11に示した内容に図12に示した制御ポイント文が追加された「動作説明書(保守用)」が生成される。このように、CPU11は、取得した設計図面情報から動作説明書(動作説明書(客先用)、動作説明書(保守用))を生成する。 In S28, the CPU 11 adds the generated explanatory text, explanatory diagrams, and control point sentences to the manual format data, and terminates the explanatory text generation process.
