Description

  The present invention relates to a design support system for automatically generating an input / output point list of a plant monitoring control apparatus for monitoring and controlling a plant from a block diagram of a plant such as a power plant and design books such as EWD.

Conventionally, for example, Patent Document 1 describes that an input / output point list is automatically generated from each design book, but whether or not consistency with restrictions such as character restrictions on the items of the input / output point list is achieved. There was no mention of confirmation of the problem and what to do if there was a problem as a result of the confirmation.
Further, for example, Patent Document 2 describes that after the input / output point list is generated, the input / output point list is further expanded and utilized to create a connection table for connecting external lines. There is no mention of checking consistency between parameters in the output point list.

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-157505 (pages 4 to 11, FIG. 1) JP-A-10-187214 (pages 4-6, FIG. 1)

The input / output point list of the plant monitoring control device has restrictions such as character restrictions for each item depending on the ease of visual recognition of display parameter names or the purpose of preventing human error in plant operation monitoring.
However, conventionally, even if there is a function for automatically generating an input / output point list for plant monitoring control, the restrictions for each item (engineering unit, input point symbol, input point name, etc.) are checked in advance. There wasn't. For this reason, conventionally, since it is necessary for a person to manually correct it according to the restriction, it takes work time, and simple mistakes are also caused.
Also, in the past, I / O point lists were automatically generated from each design book, but there was no function to check whether consistency was achieved when each parameter in the I / O point list was compared for each item. Also, if there was a problem with human eyes, it had to be corrected, and it took a long time or overlooked.
In addition to correction by restriction, consistency between parameters (unification of characters used: for example, “spray” or “spray”, comma “,” or “,” etc. )), It was time consuming or overlooked because humans checked for consistency and corrected manually.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems. When an input / output point list for plant monitoring control is automatically generated from a design book, each item in the input / output point list is represented. The goal is to obtain a design support system that is consistent with the notation restrictions.

The design support system according to the present invention is a design support system that automatically generates an input / output point list for plant monitoring control from a design book,
I / O point list restriction management file that defines restrictions on the notation of each item in the I / O point list,
A notation conversion rule file in which conversion rules for converting the notation of the items in the input / output point list that do not match the restrictions on the notation to match the restrictions,
Extraction means for extracting items in the input / output point list from the design book,
Consistency confirmation means for confirming whether or not the notation of the items in the input / output point list extracted by the extracting means is consistent with the restrictions on the notation of the input / output point list restriction management file,
This embodiment includes notation changing means for changing the notation of items whose matching is not confirmed by the matching checking means so as to match the restrictions using a notation conversion rule file.

As described above, the present invention is a design support system that automatically generates an input / output point list for plant monitoring control from a design book,
I / O point list restriction management file that defines restrictions on the notation of each item in the I / O point list,
A notation conversion rule file in which conversion rules for converting the notation of the items in the input / output point list that do not match the restrictions on the notation to match the restrictions,
Extraction means for extracting items in the input / output point list from the design book,
Consistency confirmation means for confirming whether or not the notation of the items in the input / output point list extracted by the extracting means is consistent with the restrictions on the notation of the input / output point list restriction management file,
Since there is a notation change means that changes the notation of items whose consistency is not confirmed by this consistency check means so that it matches the restrictions using the notation conversion rule file, input / output points for plant monitoring control from the design document When the list is automatically generated, the notation of each item in the input / output point list can be matched with the notation restriction.

Based on the processing 13 (extracting means) and the input / output point list restriction management file 15, the consistency check process 14 (consistency checking means) for checking whether the notation of each item in the input / output point list is consistent with the notation restriction. ) And a notation changing process 16 (notation changing means) for changing the notation of the item that became a problem in the matching check process 14 based on a predetermined rule 17 (notation conversion rule file).
If there is no problem in the matching check process 14, an input / output point list 21 is output.
In addition, in the notation changing process 16, the problem is not solved by the predetermined rule 17, and items remaining without being changed are output as the problem part extraction list 18. Based on this problem part extraction list 18, the rule 17 is manually corrected by a correction process 19. The correction process 19 can also manually correct the block diagram 11 and the EWD FIG.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an input / output point list restriction management file of the design support system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
In FIG. 2, the input / output point list restriction management file 15 includes, for each input / output point list item, a character number limit 151 for restricting the number of characters to be represented, a half-width and full-width usage limit 152 for restricting the use of half-width and full-width characters, and characters to be used. Character limit 153 for restricting, and duplication restriction 154 for restricting duplication with other parameters.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing rules of the design support system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
In FIG. 3, a predetermined rule 17 includes a character number abbreviation rule 171 for abbreviations of characters and numbers, a unit abbreviation rule 172 for abbreviation of engineering units, and half-width characters for each item of the input / output point list. And half-width full-width conversion processing rule 173 for converting the full-width character and the prohibited character conversion rule 174 for converting the prohibited character to a usable character.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a problem location extraction list of the design support system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
In FIG. 4, a problem location extraction list 18 is shown. For example, the problem is shown as there is a problem in the input point symbol duplication limitation and the input point name character number limitation.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an input / output point list of the design support system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
In FIG. 5, the input / output point list 21 includes an input point symbol, an input point name, an engineering unit, an engineering range (upper limit), and an engineering range (lower limit) for each parameter (input / output point) described in the row direction. Items are listed.

Next, the operation will be described.
Design books such as the block diagram 11 and the EWD FIG. 12 are electronic files (general-purpose software, CAD data, etc.), and the input / output point symbols of the parameters that are the targets of the input / output point list are specified in advance ( Example: Since the character “C” is linked as electronic data together with the input / output point symbol display, the input / output point symbol can be extracted based on the character “C”). First, in the extraction process 13, input / output point symbols are extracted from design books such as the block diagram 11 and the EWD FIG. 12, and other necessary items (input / output point names, Extract engineering units, engineering ranges, etc.).

Next, there are restrictions on the notation of each item in the input / output point list defined in the input / output point list restriction management file 15, such as a character number limit 151, a half-width full-width use limit 152, a used character limit 153, and a duplication limit with other parameters. Based on 154, in the matching check processing 14, a check processing is performed to check whether the notation of each item in the input / output point list matches the notation restriction.
The restrictions set in the input / output point list restriction management file 15 are a list of restrictions defined as the specifications of the input / output point list. Therefore, the restrictions are added according to the addition / deletion / change of the restrictions. The output point list restriction management file 15 is modified.

Items that became a problem in the consistency check process 14 are based on the character number abbreviation rule 171, the unit abbreviation rule 172, the half-width full-width conversion process rule 173, and the prohibited character conversion rule 174 of the rule 17 determined in advance by the notation change process 16. Be changed.
Parameters that need to be corrected in the block diagram 11 and EWD FIG. 12 or items that remain without being solved by the predetermined rule 17 are output as a problem location extraction list 18.

Of the parameters described as the problem location extraction list 18, the parameters that need to be corrected in the block diagram 11 and the EWD FIG. 12 are corrected by the correction processing 19 in the block diagram 11 and the EWD FIG. 12.
For example, as shown in FIG. 4, when an input point symbol overlap is extracted as a problem, one input point symbol needs to be changed in the block diagram 11 and the EWD FIG.
In the case of the input / output point list example of FIG. 5, the result of changing the input point symbol of parameter 4 from T4000 to F5200 is shown.

Of those described as the problem location extraction list 18, those other than the corrections of the block diagram 11 and the EWD FIG. The rule 17 is corrected by addition / change / deletion by the correction processing 19.
For example, as shown in FIG. 4, when the character restriction of the input point name is extracted as a problem, a rule is added to the character number abbreviation rule 171 so as to be within the character restriction. In the example of FIG. 5, a rule for changing from “B-turbine dynamic feed pump” to “BT / D FWP” is added to the character number abbreviation rule 171, and the process from the extraction process 13 is performed again. The result of the process 16 being processed again shows that the number of characters of the input point name is changed from 25 to 22 characters.

  The above processing is repeated until there is no problem in the matching check processing 14 for the restriction of the item notation in the input / output point list. When there is no problem in the matching check process 14 for the restriction of the item notation of the input / output point list, the input / output point list 21 of FIG. 5 is created.

  According to the first embodiment, when automatically generating the plant monitoring control input / output point list from the design document, it is confirmed whether the notation of each item in the input / output point list is consistent with the notation restriction, If there is a problem with the confirmation, the notation of the items is changed to match the notation restrictions of each item in the I / O point list, so an I / O point list that matches the notation restrictions of each item is created. can do.
