Plant operating and monitoring apparatus
First Claim
1. An apparatus for operating and monitoring a plant, comprising:
- a manipulating and monitoring panel means, including manipulating means and a first display device, for operating the plant which includes a plurality of systems;
a first display data producing means for displaying on said first display device plant information needed for an operator to perform manipulation or monitoring of components constituting the plant by said manipulating means;
a second display device, placed behind said manipulating and monitoring panel means and having a display screen whose size is larger than a size of a display screen of said first display device, for displaying a general configuration diagram of the plant and process variables indicative of operation states of said components of the plant; and
a second display data producing means including an abnormality decision means for determining, when an abnormality occurs in the plant, a system wherein the abnormality has occurred, said second display data producing means controlling a display content of said second display device,wherein said second display data producing means controls said second display device in a manner that, when the plant is in a normal state, said second display device displays said general configuration diagram of the plant and said process variables, and when an occurrence of an abnormality in the plant is determined by said abnormality decision means, said second display device displays an alarm for each of said systems in which an abnormal condition has occurred in addition to said general configuration diagram of the plant and said process variables.

Abstract
In an apparatus for operating and monitoring a plant, a manipulating device provides the plant with manipulation signals for operating the plant. In response to information supplied from the plant and a manipulating signal of the manipulating device, a first display data producing device produces first display data needed for the operation of the plant changing every moment. On the basis of data supplied from the first display data producing device, a first display device displays information relating to the operation of the plant. In response to information supplied from the plant and a manipulating signal of the manipulating device, a second display data producing device produces data needed for monitoring the plant. On the basis of data supplied from the second display data producing device, a second display device displays information relating to the monitoring of the plant on a larger display screen than that of the first display device. Information displayed by the first display device and information displayed by the second display device complement each other and make it possible to accurately operate and monitor the plant.
