Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the use of an improved signal position converter in a plant operation training simulator, particularly in a central control panel used as a component thereof.

Figure 1 shows a conceptual diagram of a simulator for plant operation training.

First, the dynamic characteristics of the plant (not shown) to be operated are calculated using the plant simulation computer system 1, and the results are used as simulation signals to be sent to the central control panel.
and display it. The operator trainee OS operates the plant based on the information displayed on the central control panel 2, and sends the results to the plant simulation computer system 1 as an operation signal. On the other hand, the training instructor OI monitors and instructs the plant operation operations by the operator training personnel using the operation monitoring signal from the plant simulation computer system 1 and the operation command signal to the plant simulation computer system 1 through the instructor console 3.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the central control panel 2 of a conventional simulator for plant operation training. On this central control panel 2, there is a display device 4 that displays the status of the plant.
And an operating device 5 for controlling the plant by manual operation is appropriately arranged. These devices on the central control panel 2 are fixed and cannot be changed freely.

A simulator for plant operation training is a device that trains operator trainees in operating operations prior to operating an actual plant so that they can operate the plant appropriately, and it provides operator training operators with the same sense of reality as in an actual plant. is required. For this purpose, it would be ideal to create a simulator for operator training for each plant, but since simulators for operator training are extremely expensive, such a thing is impossible and it is not possible to simulate a typical plant. It is substituted by At this time, the dynamic characteristic model can be freely changed by changing the parameters of the dynamic characteristic analysis program, but conventional central control panels are fixed and lack flexibility.

This invention was made in order to eliminate the drawbacks of the previous ones as described above, and it allows the entire panel of the central control panel to be freely and easily replaced, giving a more complete sense of realism to driver trainers, and improving driver training. The purpose of this project is to provide a simulator for plant operation training that can be carried out efficiently.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below regarding a simulator for power plant operation training. FIG. 3 shows an improved central control panel 2A, in which a modular central control panel 6 and a signal position conversion device 7 are newly added. Further, FIG. 4 shows an explanatory diagram of newly added parts. The upper part of FIG. 4 shows a modular type central control panel 6, and various display devices and operating devices are attached to the upper surface thereof, and these are modularized as a whole. In order to facilitate removal, handles 8 are attached to both ends of the upper surface only when removal is to be performed. A fixed pin 9 is attached to the lower surface so that signals can be input and output. The middle diagram in FIG. 4 shows a signal position conversion device 7 for changing the position of a signal. A socket 10 is attached to the upper surface of this signal position conversion device 7 and is fixed at a position corresponding to a pin 9 attached to the lower surface of the modular central control panel 6. At both ends, a socket 10 is fixed. For ease of use, a handle 11 can be attached. A fixed pin 12 is attached to the lower surface of the signal position conversion device 7 so that signals can be input and output. In addition, a comb-shaped pin 13 and a socket 14 are attached to the side of the signal position converter 7 so that signals can be changed with other modules, making it possible to connect signals with adjacent signal position converters. There is. Depending on the plant where the operator training is conducted, the pins and sockets or the pins and sockets are connected by signal lines 15, and the connections can be changed freely. The lower diagram in Figure 4 is
This is a fixed terminal board 16 connected to the plant simulation computer system 1. A fixed socket 17 is attached to the upper surface of the fixed terminal board 16, so that signals can be exchanged with the plant simulation computer 1 system through a signal line 18. Note that the pin 12 of the signal position conversion device 7 and the socket 17 of the fixed terminal board 16 are arranged at corresponding positions.

When the plant operation training simulator of the present invention is used to conduct operation training for different plants, the following procedure is used.

(a) Remove the modular central control panel 6 and signal position conversion device 7 corresponding to the plant for which training has been completed.

(b) Change the correspondence between the pins 12, 13 and sockets 10, 14 of the signal position conversion device 7 by changing the connection of the signal line 15 to match the plant to be trained. At this time, if the signal position conversion device 7 is prepared in advance for each plant, this work can be omitted and the replacement time can be shortened.

(c) Attach the signal position conversion device 7 and the modular central control board 6 that match the plant to be trained to the fixed terminal board 16.

(d) Change the parameters of the dynamic characteristic analysis program that corresponds to the plant you are about to train.

(c) conduct training;

In addition, although the case of a power generation plant was explained in the above-mentioned embodiment, this invention is not limited to a power generation plant, and can be applied to any other simulator having the same function.

As described above, according to the present invention, the central control panel can be freely and easily replaced, which gives driver trainees a more complete sense of reality and allows them to conduct driver training more efficiently. ,
The signal position converter can not only perform signal switching with the opposing modular central control panel and fixed terminal board on the upper and lower surfaces, but also can switch signals with other modules via the adjacent signal position converter. Since signals can be freely switched between
This has the effect that the signal position conversion device can be used effectively between adjacent modules.
