Whether or not the device abnormality has progressed and the operating state determination means and the operating state determination means It is characterized and self diagnosis means for outputting the apparatus abnormality alarm or equipment maintenance alarm beam equipment, by comprising a.

[0008]

In the system equipment self-diagnosis apparatus of the present invention, the computer monitors and controls the operation information or equipment information of the system equipment, and stores the operation information or equipment information transmitted from the system equipment and stores the information. Operation information or equipment information is extracted from the means for each predetermined period, and operation status is calculated according to a predetermined calculation method using the operation information or equipment information extracted by the period information extraction means, and the operation status is calculated. It is determined whether the calculated operating state calculated by the means exceeds a predetermined operating state set value, and the operating state determining means outputs a device abnormality alarm or a device maintenance alarm to the system equipment.

[0009]

EXAMPLE An example of the present invention will be described below. In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, reference numeral 1 is a system facility device whose operation information or facility information is monitored and controlled by an electronic computer 11, 12
Is a storage device for storing the operating information or the facility information transmitted from the system equipment 1, 13 is a period-by-period information extracting means for extracting the operating information or the facility information from the storage device 12 for each predetermined period, and 14 is for each period. Information withdrawing means 13
The operating state calculation means for calculating the arithmetic operating state according to a predetermined arithmetic method by using the operating information or the facility information extracted by the reference numeral 15, and the operating state setting in which the arithmetic operating state calculated by the operating state calculating means 14 is predetermined. An operating state determination means for determining whether or not the value exceeds a value, 16 is a self-diagnosis means for outputting an equipment abnormality alarm or equipment maintenance alarm to the system equipment equipment by the operating state determination means 15, and an electronic computer equipped with the system equipment. In the system, a means for storing equipment information of each system device, a means for monitoring the operating condition of this system equipment due to its change over time, and a computer for judging the degree of progress of equipment abnormality from the equipment information and operation information. An electronic computer system with a self-maintenance function, which is equipped with a function for self-diagnosis including the main body A. Then, the operating condition is monitored from the operating state of the system equipment by the change over time, and the progress of the abnormality of the equipment is observed, and self-diagnosis including the computer main body of the maintenance time and the failure degree is made if there is no abnormality in the system equipment.

That is, FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of an embodiment of an electronic computer system having a self-maintenance function according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, 10 is an electronic computer system,
