Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] A. Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a data logger device for outputting input information from a process or setting information from an operator to a printer,
In particular, it relates to a hybrid type data logger device that arbitrarily outputs a message record and a logging record.

B. Outline of the Invention The present invention is a data logger device for outputting input information from a process or setting information from an operator to a printer,
Equipped with a data logger control means that selects logging items by message input, and outputs mixed message recording and logging recording, saving unnecessary space such as daily reports, and interactive editing of definitions and creation of comments. It provides the technology that enables you to grasp the driving situation at a glance.

C. Conventional technology The data logger device edits the monitoring result of the information input from the process and the input information set by the operator, and outputs the operation record as a message recording process from the printer and the input information from the printer. Based on this, a logging recording process for outputting a daily report or a monthly report from a printer is performed.

In the past, the message record and the logging record were printed out separately and were not related to each other.

D. Problem to be Solved by the Invention The above-mentioned conventional data logger device does not have a function of changing the editing of the daily report by a trigger from the message record or inserting a part of the message record in the daily report. For this reason, there are the following difficulties regarding the ones that are operated only a few times a year, such as the emergency private power generation equipment and rainwater pump equipment, and those that want to keep a detailed record while operating. .

(1) Take unnecessary daily report space during normal operation (when stopped),
The recording paper is wasted and the amount of documents increases.

(2) I cannot add the necessary comments when driving.

FIG. 4 is a sample diagram of a daily report created by a conventional data logger device. The daily report shown in the figure is a log recording of the received power amount, generated power amount, inflow sewage amount, inflow rainwater amount, etc. every hour. On days when there was no driving or when there was no inflow of rainwater, the number of recorded items would only increase, and it would be useless to print out. On the other hand, the message record is not written anywhere, which is inconvenient.

The present invention was created in view of such problems,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a hybrid type data logger device that saves unnecessary space such as daily reports, edits, makes definitions and comments interactively, and can grasp the driving situation at a glance.

E. Means for Solving the Problems Means for solving the above problems in the present invention are a message recording process for editing and outputting input information from a process and setting information by an operator, and a daily report or a daily report based on the input information. In a data logger device that performs a logging recording process that outputs a monthly report, a data logger control unit that selects a logging item by message input,
This is a hybrid type data logger device that outputs a mixture of message recording and logging recording.

F. Action The present invention is provided with a data logger device means and selects a logging item by message input, and the logging format is a free format.

The launch management items are divided into two groups, one group is always launched, and the other group is launched only when a pre-designated trigger is received. Grouping of management items and definition of triggers are performed by messages, and the data logger control means provides a column regarding the data in a daily report or the like only when pre-defined message data is input. Similarly, a remarks column is provided in the daily report or the like, and a previously designated message is printed out in the remarks column.

G. Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a hybrid type data logger device according to the present invention. In the figure, 1
CRT display, 2 keyboard, 3 data logger control means, 4 process signal input means, 5 printer interface, and 6 kanji printer. The kanji printer 6 may be one or plural. The data logger control means 3 may be, for example, a 16-bit microprocessor, the logging format is a free format, and has the following functions.

That is, the launch management items are divided into two groups, one group is always launched, and the other group is launched only when a pre-designated trigger is received. CRT is used for grouping management items and defining trigger data.
Using the logging data assignment screen of Tray Play 1, input or change is made from the keyboard 2. FIG. 2 is a sample diagram showing an example of the assignment screen in the embodiment, in which each item and its unit are shown, and items marked with * in the figure are daily reports only when pre-defined data is input. Output.

In this way, since the daily report edit can be changed by the trigger from the message data, in the case of the sample diagram of FIG. 4, the generated power amount marked with * in FIG. When the rainwater pump operation signal is not input, it is not described when the rainwater pump operation signal is not input. Further, the data logger control means 3 also has a message recording processing function, and the message recording can be superimposed as a comment on the logging record of the daily report or the monthly report.

FIG. 3 is a sample diagram of a daily report created by the hybrid type data logger device of the present embodiment. In the daily report shown in the same figure, for the amount of generated electric power and the amount of inflowing rainwater marked with * on the assignment screen shown in FIG. 2, a column is provided only on the day when the predefined message data is input. The daily report that did not exist will be printed out with the following items packed. Further, as shown in the remarks column in the figure, comments (messages) are added as needed, which makes it very easy to understand the situation. This comment can also be registered and defined in advance on the assignment screen.

As described above, the following effects are apparent in the embodiment of the present invention.

(1) By dividing the logging items (management items) into two groups, that is, items that are always launched and items that are only launched when necessary, daily and monthly reports can be edited to a minimum (it is necessary to record only a few times a year). Eliminate the waste of recording items that do not exist every hour or every day).

(2) By mixing message recording and logging recording, the driving situation can be grasped at a glance (it was necessary to compare both message recording and logging recording in the past).

(3) Grouping of logging items, definition of trigger message data, creation of comments (messages) to be added to logging records, and definition of data can be easily done interactively using the CRT assignment screen.

(4) It can also be used as a dedicated device for the recording function in the CRT operator station.

Since the hybrid data logger device edits the logging format by inputting a message, it is necessary to adopt a free format method and a method of collectively typing the logging items for one day. Therefore,
It is not possible to use a fixed form of printing paper or print out every regular time.

H. Effect of devising As described above, according to the present invention, daily and monthly reports can be edited to a minimum, unnecessary daily report space can be saved, and editing, definition and comment creation can be performed interactively. Thus, it is possible to provide a hybrid type data logger device capable of grasping the operation status at a glance.
