Facility Control System and Facility Control Method
First Claim
1. A facility control system comprising:
- an apparatus controller that controls an operation of a facility apparatus;
a first-layer computer that executes a first-layer program for issuing an apparatus operating command for the facility apparatus to the apparatus controller that the first-layer computer is assigned to and for managing an operation result of the facility apparatus transmitted from the apparatus controller;
a second-layer computer that executes a second-layer program for issuing a task command to the first-layer computer in order to cause the facility apparatus required to process a task request to be operated in accordance with the task request which is a request for an operation that is to be accomplished by operating the facility apparatus, and for managing a result of a task that is related to the task request based on the operation result of the facility apparatus transmitted from the first-layer computer;
a selection processing portion that selects, based on a manual operation, whether to cause the first-layer computer to execute the second-layer program that had been executed by the second-layer computer, when an abnormal condition occurs in the second-layer computer;
a substitute command output processing portion that issues a substitute command for executing, as a substitute-execution-subject program, the second-layer program that had been executed by the second-layer computer in which the abnormal condition occurred;
wherein the substitute command output processing portion is configured to output the substitute command in accordance with a selection information selected by the selection processing portion, andwherein the first-layer computer is configured to execute the substitute-execution-subject program based on the substitute command that the substitute command output processing portion outputs.

Abstract
A facility control system comprises a selection processing portion that selects, based on a manual operation and when an abnormal condition occurs in a second-layer computer that issues a task command to a first-layer program which issues an apparatus operating command to an apparatus controller, whether to cause a first-layer computer to execute a second-layer program that had been executed by the second-layer computer, and a substitute command output processing portion which outputs a substitute command in accordance with selection information selected by the selection processing portion. The first-layer computer executes the second-layer program that had been executed by the second-layer computer in which the abnormal condition occurred based on a substitute command outputted by the substitute command output processing portion.

7. In a facility control method using a facility control system having:
- an apparatus controller that controls an operation of a facility apparatus;
a first-layer computer that executes a first-layer program for issuing an apparatus operating command for the facility apparatus to the apparatus controller that the first-layer computer is assigned to and for managing an operation result of the facility apparatus transmitted from the apparatus controller; and
a second-layer computer that executes a second-layer program for issuing a task command to the first-layer computer in order to cause the facility apparatus required to process a task request to be operated in accordance with the task request which is a request for an operation that is to be accomplished by operating the facility apparatus, and for managing a result of a task that is related to the task request based on the operation result of the facility apparatus transmitted from the first-layer computer;the facility control method comprising the following steps that are performed by the facility control system; a selection processing step of selecting, based on a manual operation, whether to cause the first-layer computer to execute the second-layer program that had been executed by the second-layer computer, when an abnormal condition occurs in the second-layer computer; a substitute command output processing step of issuing a substitute command for executing, as a substitute-execution-subject program, the second-layer program that had been executed by the second-layer computer in which the abnormal condition occurred; and wherein in the substitute command output processing step, a substitute command for causing the first-layer computer to execute the substitute-execution-subject program is issued in accordance with selection information selected in the selection processing step. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
