Fault processing system for processing faults of producing points
First Claim
1. A fault processing system for processing a fault which is generated in at least one of a plurality of producing points which design and produce products according to orders received from customers, said fault processing system comprising:
- a first producing point which is used as a center producing point;
second producing points; and
at least one communication network coupling said first and second producing points,each producing point including transmission and reception means respectively connected to said communication network;
each of said second producing points comprising;
first means for detecting a fault generated in a program module of a second producing point, andsecond means, coupled to said communication network, via respective transmission means, for notifying the fault and information identifying program module in which the fault is generated to said first producing point responsive to said first means;
said first producing point comprising;
a third means, coupled to said communication network, via respective transmission means, for analyzing the fault notified from said second producing point depending on whether the program module in which the fault is generated is a common program module or a particular program module based on said information, said common program module being used in common at a plurality of second producing points, said part-icular program module being used exclusively in the second producing point to which the particular program belongs,said third means of said first producing point including a fault diagnosis table storing with respect to each program module an operating point code specifying a producing point where the program module is operating, so that the fault is notified to the producing points having the common program module, based on said diagnosis table.

Abstract
A fault processing system processes a fault which is generated in one or a plurality of producing points which design and produce products according to orders received from customers. The fault processing system includes a first producing point which is used as a center producing point, second producing points, and one or a plurality of communication networks coupling the first and second producing points. Each of the second producing points comprise a first device for detecting a fault generated in a program module of the second producing point and a second device for notifying the fault and information identifying program module in which the fault is generated to the first producing point responsive to the first device. The first producing point comprises a third device for analyzing the fault notified from the second producing point depending on whether the program module in which the fault is generated is a common program module or a particular program module based on the information. The common program module is used in common at a plurality of second producing points, and the particular program module is used exclusively in the second producing point to which the particular program module belongs.
