CONTROL SYSTEM, TERMINAL DEVICE FOR MAINTENANCE WORKER AND CONTROL DEVICE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A control system comprising:
- a target device having an influence on safety of maintenance work;
a control device for controlling the target device; and
a terminal device manipulated by a worker performing the maintenance work, whereinthe control device includes a control unit for controlling the target device to enter a first state in which the worker is allowed to safely perform the maintenance work, and a first communication unit for performing communication,the terminal device includes a first input unit for receiving an input manipulation by the worker, a request generation unit for generating a request directed to the control device; and
a second communication unit for performing communication,the request generation unit generates a lock request to request the control device to maintain the first state in response to the input manipulation when the control unit controls the target device to enter the first state,the second communication unit transmits the lock request,the first communication unit receives the lock request, andthe control unit transitions to a lock state in which the control unit controls the target device to maintain the first state, based on the lock request received by the first communication unit.

Abstract
A terminal device carried by a maintenance worker transmits, to a central control device, a request to maintain a first state in which a central control device controls a target device so that maintenance work is safely performed. The central control device transitions to a PIN lock state in which the first state is maintained, according to this request.

9. A terminal device comprising:
-
a communication unit for receiving information of a control device for controlling a target device having an influence on safety of maintenance work; and an input unit for receiving an input manipulation, wherein the communication unit receives information indicating that the control device controls the target device to enter a first state in which the maintenance work is safely performed, and transmits a lock request to the control device to request the control device to maintain the first state in response to the input manipulation received by the input unit, after receiving the information. - View Dependent Claims (10)

11. A control device comprising:
-
a control unit for controlling a target device having an influence on safety of maintenance work to enter a first state in which the maintenance work is safely performed; and a communication unit for receiving a lock request to request to maintain the first state, wherein when controlling the target device to enter the first state, the control unit transitions to a lock state in which the control unit controls the target device to maintain the first state when the communication unit receives the lock request. - View Dependent Claims (12)
