[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2010-33118 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the conventional technology, information to be notified is appropriately selected, and the output mode can be changed depending on the importance of the information. However, the state of other information related to the information to be notified is not taken into consideration. For example, when an alarm is output about the state of a certain device, even if manual data showing the operating procedure of the device has been updated, no notification is made in association with the update of the manual data. For this reason, there may be cases where the user does not realize that the updated manual data should be checked, and responds to the alarm using the old procedure that the user remembers. In a configuration where there is a large amount of data related to one alarm, such as a plant, it is difficult for the user to properly recognize the status of other data related to each alarm in a timely manner, so there is a demand for efficient provision of information about related data. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, a representative equipment management system includes a memory unit that stores a plurality of types of equipment information including data related to equipment management in a plant and performance data of equipment, identification information that uniquely identifies each of the plurality of types of equipment information, relationship link information that is information indicating a relationship between the plurality of identification information associated with the plurality of types of equipment information, and flag information that is stored in association with each of the identification information, a display unit capable of displaying alarm information that is predetermined information related to a first equipment among the plurality of types of equipment information, and first information associated with the alarm information, and a control unit that determines information to be displayed on the display unit, wherein the relationship link information includes a plurality of other identification information related to the identification information of the alarm information, the display unit is capable of switching between displaying and not displaying the first information, and the control unit identifies a plurality of first equipment information that is equipment information related to the alarm information among the plurality of types of equipment information from the identification information related to the alarm information and the relationship link information, and determines whether or not to display the first information on the display unit based on the flag information associated with the identification information corresponding to each of the plurality of first equipment information. A representative equipment management method is an equipment management method for an equipment management system having a memory unit that stores data related to a plant, a display unit, and a control unit that determines information to be displayed on the display unit, in which the memory unit stores a plurality of types of equipment information including data related to equipment management in the plant and performance data of the equipment, identification information that uniquely identifies each of the plurality of types of equipment information, relationship link information that is information indicating a relationship between a plurality of pieces of the identification information associated with the plurality of types of equipment information, and flag information stored in association with each of the identification information, and the relationship link information is information indicating a relationship between a first piece of equipment among the plurality of types of equipment information. the control unit identifies a plurality of first equipment information, which is equipment information related to the alarm information, among the plurality of types of equipment information, from the identification information related to the alarm information and the information of the relationship link, the control unit determines whether or not to display the first information on the display unit based on the flag information associated with the identification information corresponding to each of the plurality of first equipment information, and the display unit displays the alarm information and switches whether or not to display the first information associated with the alarm information based on the determination of the control unit.

[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this specification and drawings, components having substantially the same functions or configurations are denoted by the same reference numerals and redundant explanations will be omitted. In the following embodiment, the facility management system of the present invention will be mainly described as being applied to a chemical plant, but the embodiment of the facility management system of the present invention is not limited to this example. In addition to chemical plants, the facility management system can be applied to energy plants including power plants, steel plants, assembly plants, and other production bases in various fields. EXAMPLES

[0009] 1 is a configuration diagram of a chemical plant management system. The chemical plant management system includes a management server 10, a user terminal 20, a distributed control system (DCS) server 30, an equipment maintenance management server 40, and a document management server 50. Here, the chemical plant management system is also called an equipment management system.

[0010] The management server 10 is a computer having a communication interface 11, a storage unit 12, and a control unit 13. The communication interface 11 communicates with a user terminal 20, a DCS server 30, a facility maintenance management server 40, and a document management server 50. The storage unit 12 stores various data received from the user terminal 20, the DCS server 30, the facility maintenance management server 40, and the document management server 50. The storage unit 12 also stores various programs and data generated by the management server 10. The control unit 13 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and realizes various functions by reading and executing programs in the storage unit. The functions realized by the control unit 13 include control of the chemical plant and output of an alarm.

[0011] Like the management server 10, the user terminal 20, the DCS server 30, the facility maintenance management server 40, and the document management server 50 are computers having a communication interface, a storage unit, and a control unit.

[0012] The user terminal 20 is a computer used by a user who performs operation and management tasks for a chemical plant, and has an input unit 21 and a display unit 22. The user terminal 20 accepts operations from the user via the input unit 21. The user terminal 20 accesses the management server 10 based on the user operation, and displays the status of the chemical plant on the display unit 22. The user terminal 20 also accesses the management server 10 based on the user operation, and controls the status of the chemical plant.

[0013] The DCS server 30 acquires various data from the production equipment and facility equipment of the chemical plant and transmits it to the management server 10. This data includes an alarm signal 31 that notifies of an abnormality in the plant, measurement data 32 that indicates the measurement results of sensors, operation data 33 that indicates the status of the equipment, etc. The DCS server 30 also controls the production equipment, etc. based on a control request received from the management server 10.

[0014] The facility maintenance management server 40 holds data related to inspection and repair of the chemical plant as maintenance work data 41. The facility maintenance management server 40 can transmit the maintenance work data 41 to the management server 10.

[0015] The document management server 50 holds chemical plant design data 51 and manual data 52. The document management server 50 can transmit the design data 51 and the manual data 52 to the management server 10.

[0016] 2 is a configuration diagram of the management server 10. The management server 10 has a communication interface 11, a storage unit 12, a control unit 13, a memory 14, an input unit 15, and an output device 16. The storage unit 12 stores programs such as an alarm output program, a data analysis program, and a data input / output program. The storage unit 12 also stores a structured ID registration table, a relationship link registration table, an alarm history table, equipment performance data, equipment management data, and the like.

[0017] The control unit 13 reads out the programs from the storage unit 12, develops them in a memory 14 that is a main storage device, and executes them sequentially to realize various functions. The input unit 15 is a keyboard, a pointing device, etc. The output device 16 is a display, etc. The input unit 15 and the output device 16 are direct input / output interfaces for the management server 10.

[0018] The control unit 13 can output an alarm to the display unit 22 of the user terminal 20 based on the data stored in the storage unit 12. The storage unit 12 stores a plurality of types of equipment information, which include data on equipment management in a plant and performance data of the equipment.

[0019] The data relating to facility management may include, for example, the maintenance work data 41 received from the facility maintenance management server 40, and the design data 51 and manual data 52 received from the document management server 50. These data may be received and stored in the storage unit 12, or may be configured to access the facility maintenance management server 40 or the document management server 50 as needed to use the data.

[0020] The performance data of the facility may include operation data 33 of the facility and equipment in the plant, measurement data 32 of sensors acquired to monitor the process, and an alarm signal 31 that notifies that the operation data 33 or the measurement data 32 deviates from a standard. These data may be received from the DCS server 30 and stored in the storage unit 12, or may be configured to access the DCS server 30 as needed and use the data.

[0021] In this way, the necessary data may be stored in the storage unit 12 of the management server 10, or may be stored in a distributed manner in multiple servers connected via a network. In a distributed storage configuration, the collection of the storage units of the servers becomes the storage unit of this system. In a chemical plant, different servers may be used for different departments or roles, such as the manufacturing department and the maintenance department, and this invention can also be applied to such information management systems.

[0022] The storage unit 12 also stores identification information that uniquely identifies each of the multiple types of facility information. The multiple types of facility information are managed in a hierarchical directory, and the identification information is structured identification information (hereinafter, referred to as a structured ID) that is determined based on the location of the facility information in the hierarchical directory. The structured ID is registered in a structured ID registration table of the storage unit 12. The structured ID registration table may be registered with information indicating whether to highlight the data corresponding to the structured ID when the data is alarm information. The alarm information refers to information that is a predetermined information related to a first facility among a plurality of types of facility information and that is the subject of notification to a user.

[0023] The storage unit 12 also stores related link information, which is information indicating the relationship between multiple structuring IDs associated with multiple types of facility information. The related link information includes multiple other structuring IDs related to the structuring ID of the alarm information. In other words, when one piece of data becomes alarm information, multiple other facility information with related links to the structuring ID are identified. For convenience, the other facility information with related links from the alarm information is referred to as first facility information. The related link information is registered in a related link registration table in the storage unit 12.

[0024] Furthermore, the storage unit 12 stores flag information stored in association with each of the structured IDs. The flag information indicates that when the associated structured ID becomes the first facility information, a warning display is displayed in the display of the alarm information. In other words, the warning display is a display indicating that there is something that should be notified to the user about other information (first information) related to the alarm information. As the warning display, a symbol such as "!" or a notation indicating the contents of the warning can be used. For convenience, the information as the warning display is referred to as the first information. As one example, the flag information takes either an ON state indicating that the first information is to be displayed, or an OFF state indicating that the first information is not to be displayed.

[0025] The flag information is registered in an alarm history table in the storage unit 12. The alarm history table indicates, for data that can be the first facility information, a structured ID, a state, and whether or not it is a target for warning (flag information).

[0026] The alarm history table includes a table regarding the status of the equipment, a table regarding information regarding maintenance and inspection of the equipment, and a table regarding the equipment manual, etc. The alarm history table for the equipment status includes information about the equipment status. When the information about the equipment status indicates an abnormality in the equipment, flag information associated with the structured ID corresponding to the information about the equipment status is set to ON. The alarm history table relating to the maintenance and inspection of equipment includes information relating to the maintenance and inspection of equipment. When the information relating to the maintenance and inspection of equipment indicates that at least the maintenance and inspection of the equipment is outstanding, the flag information associated with the structured ID corresponding to the information relating to the maintenance and inspection of equipment is in an ON state. The alarm history table for equipment manuals and the like includes information on the equipment manuals or design drawings. When the information on the equipment manuals or design drawings is updated during a predetermined period, flag information associated with the identification information corresponding to the information on the equipment manuals or design drawings is set to ON.

[0027] The control unit 13 executes a data input / output program to execute processes related to the input / output of various data. The control unit 13 executes a data analysis program to analyze the state of the chemical plant and present related link information corresponding to the current state. The related link information corresponding to the current state is linked to candidates for data to be checked next, and can support the user's operation.

[0028] The control unit 13 executes an alarm output program to execute processing related to alarm output. Specifically, the control unit 13 identifies a plurality of pieces of first equipment information, which are equipment information related to the alarm information, from among a plurality of types of equipment information, based on the structured IDs related to the alarm information and the information on the relationship links. Then, the control unit 13 determines whether or not to display the first information on the display unit 22, based on flag information associated with the structured IDs corresponding to the plurality of pieces of first equipment information. Specifically, the control unit 13 decides to display the first information on the display unit when flag information associated with the structured ID corresponding to each of the multiple first equipment information includes one that is in the ON state.

[0029] The display unit 22 is capable of displaying alarm information and first information associated with the alarm information, and switches between displaying and not displaying the first information according to a decision made by the control unit 13.

[0030] FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of a structured ID registration table. In the structured ID registration table, structured IDs of data held by each server are registered. Each server manages the storage destination of data with a hierarchical directory. For this reason, the target data can be identified by the file server ID and the directory ID including the directory hierarchical structure. For example, data can be identified using identification information such as "file server ID / directory ID / file data ID." Identification information structured in this way is a structured ID. By using structured IDs, different types of information can be easily managed in a centralized manner. In addition, by storing flag information in association with structured IDs, flag information can also be managed in line with the easy data management using structured IDs. In addition, the structured ID is not limited to the storage destination of the file, and can be created from inclusion relationships shown in various data, such as hierarchical directories, tables in a database schema, column and row identifiers in a database schema, inclusion relationships in the chapter structure of a manual document, inclusion relationships due to indentation, and information indicating data associations, such as refer to an appendix, remarks, and annotations. Inclusion relationships shown in various data are also called path structures. Inclusion relationships in the chapter structure of a document can be identified from the hierarchy established in the document, such as the document title, chapters, sections, headings, and words. The structured ID is structured to express inclusion relationships shown in the various data themselves and the path structures used to manage them in the same format, and indicates structured inclusion relationships, so to speak.

[0031] In Fig. 3, the identification information of the structured ID is associated with the server, the information type, the structured ID itself, the name for screen display, and whether or not an alarm needs to be displayed. The information type indicates the type of the structured ID classified by content, such as "alarm (input)", "document file", "inspection work", etc. The name for screen display is the name used when displaying the structured ID on the display unit.

[0032] The alarm display necessity can be used as information for controlling the display mode when the data indicated by the structured ID is used as alarm information. When alarm information is selected on the alarm list screen, the first equipment information related to the alarm information can be displayed. In view of this relationship, the display of the alarm information is referred to as the "From display" and the alarm information is referred to as the "From data." In addition, the display of the first equipment information is referred to as the "To display" and the first equipment information is referred to as the "To data." As an example, the alarm display necessity can take one of the values ​​"1: Required" and "0: Not Required."

[0033] The alarm display necessity controls the display mode in the case of From data, and the flag information relates to the display in the case of To data. One example of the use of alarm display necessity is to specify highlighting of alarm information independently of flag information. In this case, alarm display can be filtered to determine whether it needs to be highlighted based on the type of alarm information itself, allowing the user to display only the information they need. Another example of the use of the alarm display necessity is to use it in priority to the display of the first information based on the flag information. That is, when the information regarding the alarm display necessity indicates that the alarm display is unnecessary, the first information is not displayed on the display unit 22 regardless of the flag information. In this configuration, the output necessity of information related to the alarm information can be set in detail, and the necessary information can be selectively output.

[0034] 4 is an explanatory diagram of the related link registration table. In the related link registration table, the From data, the To data, and the related link description are associated with the related link management number that identifies the related link.

[0035] 5 is an example of an alarm history table for the status of equipment. When the management server 10 receives an alarm signal 31, it stores the occurrence date and time, structured ID identification number, structured ID, name, status, alarm message, alarm level, and response status in association with each other.

[0036] The response status takes values ​​such as "0: normal" and "1: fault". The management server 10 uses this response status as flag information. That is, if the data is "0: normal", it does not need to be displayed for attention even if it becomes To data, but if the data is "1: fault", it is the target for display for attention. That is, in this example, for the response status used as flag information, "0: normal" corresponds to the flag information being OFF, and "1: fault" corresponds to the flag information being ON. Note that the display of the response status shown in FIG. 5 is an example, and is not limited to this example. Specifically, information different from this example may be appropriately set according to the characteristics and usage form of the plant equipment. And, even if the display of the response status used as flag information is different from the example of FIG. 5, it is sufficient to determine whether the display corresponds to the flag information being ON or OFF for each type of display of the response status.

[0037] 6 is an example of an alarm history table related to equipment maintenance inspection. When the management server 10 receives an input indicating that an equipment inspection or a sudden failure has occurred, the management server 10 stores the occurrence date and time, the structured ID identification number, the structured ID, the name, the state, the cause of the failure, the processing mode, the treatment status, and the response status in association with each other. The cause of the failure is the content input by the user, such as "overload trip." The content of the treatment is the content input by the user, such as "planned to reduce load and restore." The treatment status is initially "1: untreated" and is updated to "0: handled" by the user's input.

[0038] The response status basically takes the same value as the treatment status ("0: treated", "1: not treated"). The management server 10 uses this response status as flag information. That is, if the data is "0: treated", it does not need to be displayed for attention even if the data becomes To data, but if the data is "1: not treated", it is the target for display for attention. That is, in this example, for the response status used as flag information, "0: treated" corresponds to the flag information being OFF, and "1: not treated" corresponds to the flag information being ON. Note that the display of the response status shown in FIG. 6 is an example, and is not limited to this example. Specifically, information different from this example may be appropriately set according to the characteristics of the plant equipment and the contents of the maintenance inspection. Then, even if the display of the response status used as flag information is different from the example of FIG. 6, it is sufficient to determine whether the display corresponds to the flag information being ON or OFF for each type of display of the response status.

[0039] 7 is an example of an alarm history table for equipment manuals, etc. The management server 10 periodically monitors the manual data 52, and stores the occurrence date and time, structured ID identification number, structured ID, name, and status response status in association with each other. The occurrence date and time indicates when monitoring was performed. The status indicates whether the monitoring was updated compared to the previous monitoring. The status takes the value "1: updated" if it has been updated since the previous monitoring, and "0: not updated" if it has not been updated.

[0040] The response status becomes "1: updated" for a predetermined period (e.g., three months) after the status becomes "1: updated", and becomes "0: no update" after the predetermined period has elapsed. The management server 10 uses this response status as flag information. That is, if the status is "0: no update", even if the data becomes To data, it is not necessary to display it for calling attention, but if the status is "1: updated", it is the subject of display for calling attention. That is, in this example, for the response status used as flag information, "0: no update" corresponds to the flag information being in an OFF state, and "1: updated" corresponds to the flag information being in an ON state. Note that the display of the response status shown in FIG. 7 is an example, and is not limited to this example. Specifically, information different from this example may be appropriately set according to the update method of the manual or the like and the usage form. Then, even if the display of the response status used as flag information is different from the example of FIG. 7, it is sufficient to determine whether the display corresponds to the flag information being in an ON or OFF state for each type of display of the response status.

[0041] Fig. 8 is an explanatory diagram of an attention-calling display. In Fig. 8, data A is alarm information. The structured ID of data A is linked with the structured IDs of data X to Z. That is, data X to Z are first facility information. The structure ID of data X is associated with flag information "0" indicating that a warning display is not required. The structure ID of data Y is associated with flag information "1" indicating that a warning display is required. The structure ID of data Z is associated with flag information "0" indicating that a warning display is not required. In this way, since there is data associated with flag information "1" among the multiple pieces of first equipment information (data X to Z) related to data A, a warning display is added to the display of data A. Therefore, the status of multiple pieces of related information can be integrated to simply notify the presence or absence of matters requiring attention.

[0042] FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram of an alarm list display screen. The display unit 22 can display a list of alarm information and can also attach a warning display to the alarm information. The alarm information may include any information such as a structured ID, date and time, and status. The warning display is attached when flag information "1" is associated with any of the multiple pieces of first equipment information related to the alarm information. In FIG. 9, "!" is used as the warning display. Furthermore, when the selection of any piece of alarm information is accepted, the display unit 22 displays a related information display screen showing multiple pieces of first equipment information related to the alarm information.

[0043] 10 is an explanatory diagram of the related information display screen. The related information display screen includes display (structured ID, date and time, status) related to the selected alarm information and a list display of the first facility information. The first list display of facility information may include any items such as date, structured ID identification number, structured ID, name, and response status.

[0044] 11 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the control unit 13. The control unit 13 first extracts alarm information to be notified (step S101). The control unit 13 selects one of the extracted alarm information (step S102), and refers to the related link registration table with the selected alarm information as From data to identify multiple associated To data (step S103).

[0045] If any of the extracted To data has a response status of "1" (step S104; Yes), the control unit 13 sets the selected alarm information as a target for alerting (step S105).

[0046] After step S105, or if the corresponding status of any of the To data is "0" (step S104; No), the control unit 13 judges whether or not all of the extracted alarm information has been selected (step S106). If unselected alarm information remains (step S106; No), the process returns to step S102.

[0047] If all of the extracted alarm information has been selected (step S106; Yes), the control unit 13 displays a list of the alarm information on the display unit 22 (step S107), adds a warning display to the alarm information that is the target of the warning (step S108), and terminates the processing.

[0048] Fig. 12 is a modified example of an alarm list display. In Fig. 12, the contents of the warning are displayed as a warning display. The contents of the warning can be set arbitrarily, such as "Maintenance inspection not yet completed" or "File has been updated."

[0049] In order to use the contents of the warning in the warning display, different flag information may be set for each type of first equipment information, and different warning displays may be used according to the different flag information. The types of the first equipment information may include the status of the equipment, information related to the equipment manual or design drawings, and maintenance inspection of the equipment. In this case, flag information may be set according to the progress of the status of the first equipment information, such as "action pending," "action plan established," and "action in progress." In this configuration, an outline of the status of multiple related information items can be simply notified.

[0050] As described above, the disclosed facility management system includes a storage unit 12 that stores a plurality of types of facility information including data related to facility management in a plant and performance data of the facility, structured ID information that uniquely identifies each of the plurality of types of facility information, relationship link information that is information indicating a relationship between the plurality of pieces of structured ID information associated with the plurality of types of facility information, and flag information that is stored in association with each piece of structured ID information, a display unit 22 that can display alarm information that is predetermined information related to a first facility among the plurality of types of facility information, and first information associated with the alarm information, and a control unit that determines information to be displayed on the display unit. and a control unit 13, wherein the related link information includes information on a plurality of other structured IDs related to the structured ID of the alarm information, the display unit 22 is capable of switching between displaying and not displaying the first information, and the control unit 13 identifies a plurality of first equipment information which is equipment information related to the alarm information among the plurality of types of equipment information from the information on the structured ID related to the alarm information and the information on the related link, and determines whether or not to display the first information on the display unit based on the flag information associated with the information on the structured ID corresponding to each of the plurality of first equipment information. According to this facility management system, when alarm information is displayed, the status of related information is added, so that information regarding the plant can be provided efficiently.

[0051] Also, as an example, the flag information is in either an ON state indicating that the first information is to be displayed, or an OFF state, and the control unit 13 displays the first information on the display unit when the flag information associated with the structured ID information corresponding to each of the multiple first equipment information includes one in the ON state. In this configuration, the states of multiple related pieces of information can be integrated to simply notify the presence or absence of any matters requiring attention.

[0052] Also, as an example, the plurality of first equipment information includes information regarding the equipment status, and when the information regarding the equipment status indicates an abnormality in the equipment, the flag information associated with the information on the structured ID corresponding to the information regarding the equipment status is in the ON state. With this configuration, the presence or absence of an abnormality related to the alarm information can be efficiently notified.

[0053] Also, as an example, the plurality of first equipment information includes information relating to an equipment manual or design drawings, and when the information relating to the equipment manual or design drawings is updated within a specified period, the flag information associated with the information of the structured ID corresponding to the information relating to the equipment manual or design drawings becomes the ON state. With this configuration, it is possible to efficiently notify whether the manual or design drawing for the facility related to the alarm information has been updated.

[0054] Also, as an example, when the plurality of first equipment information includes information regarding maintenance inspection of the equipment, and the information regarding the maintenance inspection of the equipment indicates that at least there is an outstanding maintenance inspection of the equipment, the flag information associated with the information of the structured ID corresponding to the information regarding the maintenance inspection of the equipment is in the ON state. With this configuration, the status of maintenance and inspection related to the alarm information can be efficiently notified.

[0055] As another example, different flag information is set for each type of first facility information, and different first information can be displayed according to the different flag information. Also, as an example, the types of the first equipment information include at least the equipment status, information related to the equipment manual or design drawings, and equipment maintenance inspection. With this configuration, it is possible to give a clear overview of the status of multiple pieces of related information.

[0056] Also, as an example, information regarding whether or not an alarm needs to be displayed is associated with and stored in a structured ID corresponding to alarm information, and when the information regarding whether or not an alarm needs to be displayed indicates that an alarm does not need to be displayed, the first information is not displayed on the display unit regardless of the flag information. In this configuration, it is possible to set in detail whether or not information related to the alarm information needs to be output, and to selectively output necessary information.

[0057] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and various modifications are included.
