Fault indication system in a centralized monitoring system
First Claim
1. A fault indication system in a centralized monitoring system which detects fault conditions in multiple devices to be monitored comprising:
- hierarchial multiple intermediate monitoring devices each connected to a selected plurality of the devices to be monitored; and
a centralized monitoring device connected to said hierarchial multiple intermediate monitoring devices;
said centralized monitoring device having a computer with memory, said memory having a time management table for each of said multiple devices to be monitored and said hierarchial multiple intermediate monitoring devices, said centralized monitoring device recording in said time management tables the latest information indicating a fault occurrence in the monitored devices, said computer obtaining the latest information indicating the fault by reading said time management tables in said memory and processing said information in said time management tables to identify the latest information indicating a fault occurrence in time order.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a fault indication system in a centralized monitoring system for monitoring multiple devices speedily identifies and indicates a fault which is occurring, to improve maintenance of the monitored devices. The fault indication system includes multiple devices to be monitored, hierarchical multiple intermediate monitoring devices and a centralized monitoring device. The multiple devices to be monitored are connected to the centralized monitoring device via the hierarchical multiple intermediate monitoring devices. The centralized monitoring device is provided with time management tables corresponding to each of the multiple devices to be monitored and the hierarchical multiple intermediate monitoring devices. Information indicating the latest fault occurrence is recorded in the time management tables.
