Abstract

PURPOSE:To display the sequence progress state, the delay occurrence situations, etc., in detail as well as the delay factors by extracting the delay factors based on the output of a state input means at display of the delay state and displaying the output delay factors. CONSTITUTION:An order sequence part 1 is used together with an order processing part 2, a state display part 3, a delay detecting sequence part 4, a delay processing part 5, a delay factor detecting sequence part 7, a delay factor display part 8, a delay alarm output part 9, and an alarm 10. Then a progress state display means 2 processes the working state and the delay state of a sequence device and displays them in the rough and fine sorting symbols every time a state input means 1 fetches said two states. At the same time, a delay state display means 5 checks whether the sequence device has a delay or not. If so, the means 5 displays the occurrence of the delay on a display means 3 and at the same time a delay factor extracting means 7 extracts the delay factor. Thus the delay factor is displayed on a delay factor display means 8.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b).

First, by turning on the power to this sequence display device and turning it on, each part of this sequence display device is initialized and the monitoring operation of the sequence device is started.

In this monitoring operation, first, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 4(a), the status display section 3 is
The outline display screen 15 shown in FIG. 2(a) is displayed above, and 9 of the multiple group number display areas 18
Then, those corresponding to the selected group are displayed in red (step 5T1).

Thereafter, the order processing section 2 displays the detailed screen 16 of the group designated in red on the summary display screen 15 on the status display section 3.
It is displayed on the top (step 5T2). Note that at this time, the group name area 21 on the details screen 16 is displayed in red.

Next, the order sequence unit 1, traffic jam detection sequence unit 4, and Shibu? After each signal output from the sequence device is captured by the one-factor detection sequence unit 6 (step 5
T3), it is determined by the sequence processing section 2, traffic congestion processing section 5, and congestion factor processing section 7 whether or not the sequence device is operating normally (step 5T4).

And if this sequence device is working properly,
The sequence currently being processed is detected by the sequence processing unit 2, and the large block display area 19 corresponding to the sequence on the summary display screen 15 displayed on the status display unit 3 is blinked. Along with
The small block display area 20 corresponding to the sequence is displayed in green (step 5T5).

In addition, in parallel with this display operation, the order processing unit 2 selects the summary display screen 1 from each item number display area 22 and each item name area 23 displayed on the detailed screen 16.
Small block display area 20 displayed in green above 5
The corresponding one is colored green (step 5T6).

Thereafter, the sequence processing unit 2 checks whether the sequence currently being executed in the sequence device is within the range of the large block display area 19 that is currently blinking, and if it is within the range. For example, return to step ST3 and repeat the above-mentioned operation (step 5T).
7).

Then, when the sequence currently being executed in the sequence device comes out of the range of the large block display area 19 that is currently blinking, the sequence processing unit 2 displays the large block that has been blinking until then. Display area 1
9 is stopped, and the next large 70-block display area 19 starts blinking, and then step S
Return to T3 (step 5T8).

Further, during the above-described operation, if a traffic jam occurs in the sequence device, the traffic jam processing unit 5 detects this (step 5T4), stops the blinking operation of the large block display area 19 that had been blinking until then, and The small block display area 20 corresponding to the traffic jam sequence is blinked in orange (step 5T9).

In addition, in parallel with this operation, the traffic congestion processing unit 5 selects the items in each item number display area 22 and each item name area 23.
What was previously displayed in green is made to flash in orange (step 10).

Also, at this time, the traffic jam alarm output unit 9 detects this and causes the alarm device 10 to output an alarm sound to notify an attendant or the like.

In addition, in parallel with the above-described operation, when a traffic jam occurs in the sequence device, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. The factor processing unit 7 detects this (step 5T11).

Thereafter, the congestion factor processing section 7 detects the cause of congestion based on the signal S5 outputted from the congestion factor detection sequence section 6 (step 5T12), and displays the congestion factor on the congestion factor display section 8 based on the detection result. Display the display screen 26 (
Step 5T13).

As described above, in this embodiment, the progress status of the sequence device, the occurrence of traffic jams, etc. are displayed in the large block display area 19 and the small block display area 20, so that when a traffic jam occurs, It is possible to roughly inform the person in charge of the cause of the problem, as well as the details.

In addition, when a traffic jam occurs in the sequence device, the cause of the traffic jam is extracted and displayed on the traffic congestion factor display section 8, so that the traffic jam M prisoner can be immediately investigated and pursued. The sequence device can be restored quickly.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the status display section 3 is constituted by a CRT, but instead of the CRT, a lamp or L
The status display section 3 may be formed by using an ED (light emitting diode) or the like.

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiments, the present invention has been explained using block sequence display as an example, but the present invention can also be applied to general sequences.
