Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the need of a system operator panel by incorporating a system operator function into an existing operator station. CONSTITUTION:A processor 1, a memory 2 and a bus 3 are for processing in common the operator station 4 including a conventional system operator panel and a keyboard, etc. The instruction switch function of the conventional operator station 4 is incorporated in a keyboard 6 being the constitution element of the operator station 4, a display lamp function into a monitor part 7 and system operator panel control into an operator station control circuit 5. A key is newly added to the keyboard 6, and it is assigned to SYSTEM-POWER- ON and a keyboard generation code is decided. When the operator station control circuit 5 detects the SYSTEM-POWER-ON generation code by the depression of the key, the effect is reported to a system operator panel control circuit 9.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system operator panel for system operation in the field of information processing equipment.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional system operator panel comprises an instruction switch, an indicator lamp, and a system operator panel control circuit 10 for controlling both, and is connected to and controlled by a bus connected to a processor and a memory for controlling an operator station. Has been done.

The system operator panel is installed on the operator station desk or the like.

[0004]

In this conventional system operator panel, since the indicator switch, the indicator lamp and the system operator panel control circuit are present, the hardware as the system operator panel is required and the panel installation place is required. There is also a problem.

[0005]

A system operation panel of the present invention comprises a keyboard having an instruction switch, a monitor section having an indicator lamp, and an operator station control for performing a system operator panel control for controlling the instruction switch and the indicator lamp. And circuit.

[0006]

The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, in one embodiment, processor 1, memory 2, and bus 3 are for common processing of a conventional system operator panel and operator station 4 including a keyboard and monitor. . The keyboard 6 which is a component of the operator station 4 has a conventional system operator panel instruction switch function, the monitor unit 7 has a display lamp function, and the operator station control circuit 5 has a system operator panel control function. is there.

Next, the specific operation will be described in detail.

First, as an example of an instruction switch on the system operator panel, "SYSTEM POWER ON"
Two examples will be described below using a switch as an example.

The first example is as follows.

A key is newly added to the keyboard 6 and assigned to SYSTEM POWER ON to determine a keyboard generation code. This corresponds to the system operator switch. And pressing this key
When the operator station control circuit 5 detects the POWER ON generation code, the system operator panel control circuit 9 is notified of that fact. After that, the processor 1 receives the notification from the system operator panel control circuit 9
Execute the YSTEM POWER ON process.

The second example is as follows.

The keyboard 6 has a SYSTEM POWE
A certain key combination that is set to R ON is determined. For example, #POW. Then, the operator station control circuit 5 detects the keyboard generated code of this combination. The operation after detection is the same as in the first example.

Next, the display lamp will be described.

For example, in the case of a SYSTEM POWER ON lamp, the display on the monitor unit 7 is determined. If the lamp is on, that is, the POWER ON state is "SYSTEM"
POWER ON ”, the lamp is extinguished, that is, POW
Set the ER OFF state to “SYSTEM POWER OF
It is displayed as "F". And this display is displayed on the SYSTEM PO
In response to the ON / OFF state of WER, the processor 1 designates the display defined in the operator station control circuit 5 and displays it on the monitor unit 7.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, by incorporating the system operator function into the existing operator station, the system operator panel composed of the indicator switch, the indicator lamp and the system operator panel control circuit can be eliminated. .

As a result, the hardware cost can be reduced. Moreover, the system operator panel installation place is unnecessary. If it was installed in the operator station, the operator station can be downsized.

The above effects can be obtained.
