Abstract

An engineering device includes a template producing unit that produces a template that defines monitoring point information and control point information as information for an object that is an equipment subject to monitoring/control, a system defining unit that defines system information for each equipment of a facility that is subject to monitoring/control, a physical entity deploying unit that produces monitoring point information and control point information for each individual equipment by deploying the template, for each individual equipment within the facility, following the system information, and a modification processing unit that regenerates the monitoring point information and control point information for each individual equipment, by deploying, to each individual equipment within the facility, a post-modification template, following the system information, when a modification has been made to the template.

Claims

1. An engineering device comprising:

a template producing unit that produces a template that defines monitoring point information and control point information as information for an object that is an equipment subject to monitoring/control;

a system defining unit that defines system information for each equipment of a facility that is subject to monitoring/control;

a physical entity deploying unit that produces monitoring point information and control point information for each individual equipment by deploying the template, for each individual equipment within the facility, following the system information; and

a modification processing unit that regenerates the monitoring point information and control point information for each individual equipment, by deploying, to each individual equipment within the facility, a post-modification template, following the system information, when a modification has been made to the template.

2. The engineering device as set forth in claim 1, wherein:

the modification processing unit, when, among the various equipment, there is equipment that has been modified, causes a user to select whether to modify or not modify information according to the post-modification template for the modified equipment when deploying the post-modification template to each equipment within the facility.

3. The engineering device as set forth in claim 1, further comprising:

a displaying unit that displays a modified portion of information for each individual equipment when a post-modification template has been deployed for each individual equipment of the facility.

4. A point information generating method comprising:

a template producing step for producing a template that defines monitoring point information and control point information as information for an object that is an equipment subject to monitoring/control;

a system defining step for defining system information for each equipment of a facility that is subject to monitoring/control;

a physical entity deploying step for producing monitoring point information and control point information for each individual equipment by deploying the template, for each individual equipment within the facility, following the system information; and

a modification processing step for regenerating the monitoring point information and control point information for each individual equipment, by deploying, to each individual equipment within the facility, a post-modification template, following the system information, when a modification has been made to the template.

5. The point information generating method as set forth in claim 4, wherein:

the modification processing step is a step wherein, when, among the various equipment, there is equipment that has been modified, a user is caused to select whether to modify or not modify information according to the post-modification template for the modified equipment when deploying the post-modification template to each equipment within the facility.

6. The point information generating method as set forth in claim 4, further including:

a displaying step for displaying a modified portion of information for each individual equipment when a post-modification template has been deployed for each individual equipment of the facility.
