Description
本開示は、情報処理装置を自動で操作する装置に関する。
This disclosure relates to a device that automatically operates an information processing device.
従来、廃棄物焼却プラントなどの燃焼設備を備えた施設において、安定した施設運営のために、施設内には様々な計器が設置されている。これらの計器が示す値や警報などの信号は、施設の中央制御操作室にある分散制御システム(Distributed Control System;DCS)へと送られる。分散制御システムには、施設内の情報が集められ、中央制御操作室内から遠隔で燃焼設備を制御できる機能がある。また、施設の運転員が管理しやすいように、分散制御システムには、ユーザーインターフェースが接続され、集められた情報をディスプレイに出力させていることが多い。運転員は分散制御システムが位置する中央制御操作室内で、ディスプレイに表示されているパラメータを監視しながら、必要に応じて適切な変更先のパラメータをキーボードなどの入力機器に入力したり、現場に赴いて設備の修繕を行ったりすることで、継続的な施設の運営を図っている。
Conventionally, in facilities equipped with combustion equipment such as waste incineration plants, various instruments have been installed in the facilities for stable facility operation. Signals such as values and alarms indicated by these instruments are sent to a distributed control system (Distributed Control System; DCS) in the central control operation room of the facility. The distributed control system has a function that collects information in the facility and can remotely control the combustion equipment from the central control operation room. In addition, a user interface is often connected to the distributed control system so that the operator of the facility can easily manage it, and the collected information is output to the display. In the central control operation room where the distributed control system is located, the operator monitors the parameters displayed on the display and inputs the appropriate parameters to be changed to the input device such as a keyboard as necessary, or at the site. By going out and repairing the equipment, we are trying to operate the facility continuously.
このような従来の分散制御システムでは、運転員による常時監視が機能していることが前提であり、運転員の見落とし等により施設運営に影響が出る可能性がある。この問題を解決するために、たとえば、自動燃焼制御(Automatic Combustion Control;ACC)といった、施設内の状況に応じて適切なパラメータを自動的に調整する機能を持った制御方法が提案されている(たとえば、特開平11-294741号公報参照)。このような自動制御方法を分散制御システムに取り入れることにより、運転員が手動でパラメータを変更して制御を行う回数が削減されるので、運転員の負担を軽減しながらも、属人的な要因の誤作動が減ることにより、安定した施設運営が可能となる。現在、このような自動制御方法を分散制御システムに取り入れるためには、自動制御方法を実行させるためのプログラム(アプリケーションともいう)の一部または全部を、分散制御システムを構成している情報処理装置に導入(インストール)する必要がある(たとえば、“Kofax Kapow”,[online],2018年7月3日,Kofax Inc.,[2019年4月18日検索],インターネット<URL:https://www.kofax.jp/-/media/Files/Datasheets/JP/ps_kofax-kapow_jp.pdf>参照)。
In such a conventional distributed control system, it is premised that constant monitoring by the operator is functioning, and there is a possibility that the facility operation will be affected by the oversight of the operator. In order to solve this problem, a control method having a function of automatically adjusting appropriate parameters according to the situation in the facility, such as automatic combustion control (Autonomous Combustion Control; ACC), has been proposed (for example, an automatic combustion control (ACC)). For example, see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-294741). By incorporating such an automatic control method into the distributed control system, the number of times the operator manually changes the parameters to perform control is reduced, so that the burden on the operator is reduced, but personal factors are also a factor. By reducing the malfunction of the facility, stable facility operation becomes possible. Currently, in order to incorporate such an automatic control method into a distributed control system, a part or all of a program (also referred to as an application) for executing the automatic control method is an information processing device constituting the distributed control system. Need to be installed in (for example, "Kofax Kapow", [online], July 3, 2018, Kofax Inc., [Search on April 18, 2019], Internet <URL: https: // See www.kofax.jp/-/media/Files/Datasheets/JP/ps_kofax-kapow_jp.pdf>).
しかしながら、既に建設されて運営されている施設において、分散制御システムの仕様、容量、スペック等は施設ごとに異なっており、分散制御システムを構成している情報処理装置に他のプログラムを導入することには、様々な問題点が存在する。すなわち、CPUの性能やメモリの容量が不足していたり、オペレーティングシステム(OS)が古かったりして、他のプログラムを導入できなかったり、導入しても正常に動作しなかったりする可能性がある。また、専用のプログラマブル・ロジック・コントローラ(PLC)の集合体から構成された情報処理装置の場合には、その構成上、他のプログラムを追加で導入できないという問題点もある。これらの問題点が解決されない場合、分散制御システムを大きく改造・更新する必要があり、多くの時間と費用を要する。さらに、廃棄物焼却プラントなどのインフラの心臓部である分散制御システムでは、他のプログラムを新たに導入したくないという事情もある。
However, in facilities that have already been constructed and operated, the specifications, capacities, specifications, etc. of the distributed control system differ from facility to facility, and it is necessary to introduce other programs into the information processing devices that make up the distributed control system. Has various problems. That is, there is a possibility that other programs cannot be installed due to insufficient CPU performance or memory capacity, or the operating system (OS) is old, or even if they are installed, they may not operate normally. .. Further, in the case of an information processing apparatus composed of an aggregate of dedicated programmable logic controllers (PLCs), there is a problem that other programs cannot be additionally introduced due to the configuration. If these problems are not solved, the distributed control system needs to be significantly modified and updated, which requires a lot of time and money. Furthermore, in the distributed control system, which is the heart of infrastructure such as waste incineration plants, there is also a situation in which we do not want to introduce new programs.
情報処理装置に他のプログラムを追加で導入することなく、情報処理装置を自動で操作できる装置を提供することが望まれる。
It is desired to provide a device that can automatically operate the information processing device without additionally introducing another program into the information processing device.

The value of the parameter to be changed determined by the calculation unit 13c may be stored in the storage unit 14 together with the value of the parameter 52 extracted by the image recognition unit 13b.
信号出力部13dは、演算部13cから変更先のパラメータの値を取得し、パラメータ52の値を変更先のパラメータの値へと変更するための一連の入力を入力機器(不図示)が受け付けた際に入力機器から出力される一連の信号と同じ信号を疑似的に生成する。
The signal output unit 13d acquires the value of the parameter to be changed from the calculation unit 13c, and the input device (not shown) accepts a series of inputs for changing the value of the parameter 52 to the value of the parameter to be changed. At that time, the same signal as the series of signals output from the input device is simulated.
具体的には、たとえば、「PDXXXX」という識別情報(タグ51)により識別される計器が示す値を「1.00」に変更したい場合であって、オペレータであれば、キーボードから「P」「D」「X」「X」「X」「X」「1」「.」「0」「0」「(リターン)」のキーを順に押し下げる操作(入力)を行う必要がある場合に、信号出力部13dは、キーボードに対して「P」「D」「X」「X」「X」「X」「1」「.」「0」「0」「(リターン)」のキーを順に押し下げる一連の操作(入力)が行われた際に当該キーボードから出力される一連の信号と同じ信号を疑似的に生成する。
Specifically, for example, when it is desired to change the value indicated by the instrument identified by the identification information (tag 51) "PDXXXXX" to "1.00", and if the operator is an operator, "P" "P" " Signal output when it is necessary to perform an operation (input) in which the keys "D", "X", "X", "X", "X", "1", ".", "0", "0", and "(return)" are pressed down in order. Part 13d is a series of pressing the "P", "D", "X", "X", "X", "X", "1", ".", "0", "0", and "(return)" keys in order with respect to the keyboard. When an operation (input) is performed, the same signal as a series of signals output from the keyboard is pseudo-generated.
そして、信号出力部13dは、生成した信号(入力機器から出力される一連の信号と同じ信号)を、出力端子12を介して燃焼制御装置20の入力機器接続端子へと入力する。
Then, the signal output unit 13d inputs the generated signal (the same signal as a series of signals output from the input device) to the input device connection terminal of the combustion control device 20 via the output terminal 12.
次に、このような構成からなる情報処理装置を自動で操作する装置(本件装置)10の動作の一例について説明する。図5は、本件装置10の動作の一例を示すフローチャートである。

図5に示すように、まず、画像データ取得部13aが、燃焼制御装置20のディスプレイ接続端子21から出力される画像データ50(図4参照)を、入力端子11を介して取得する(ステップS10)。図4に示す例では、「PDXXXX」という識別情報(タグ51)により識別される計器が「0.98」という値(パラメータ52)を示していることが表示されている。
As shown in FIG. 5, first, the image data acquisition unit 13a acquires the image data 50 (see FIG. 4) output from the display connection terminal 21 of the combustion control device 20 via the input terminal 11 (step S10). ). In the example shown in FIG. 4, it is displayed that the instrument identified by the identification information (tag 51) "PDXXXXX" shows the value "0.98" (parameter 52).
次に、画像認識部13bが、画像データ50(図4参照)から画像認識処理によりパラメータ52の値を抽出する(ステップS11)。具体的には、たとえば、画像認識部13bは、画像データ50から画像認識処理(たとえばパターンマッチング)により「PDXXXX」という識別情報(タグ51)の位置を認識し、その識別情報(タグ51)の真下の領域に対して画像認識処理(たとえばOCR)を行って「0.98」というパラメータ52の値を抽出する。画像認識部13bにより抽出されたパラメータ52の値は、記憶部14に記憶されてもよい。
Next, the image recognition unit 13b extracts the value of the parameter 52 from the image data 50 (see FIG. 4) by image recognition processing (step S11). Specifically, for example, the image recognition unit 13b recognizes the position of the identification information (tag 51) "PDXXXXX" from the image data 50 by image recognition processing (for example, pattern matching), and the identification information (tag 51). Image recognition processing (for example, OCR) is performed on the region directly below to extract the value of the parameter 52 of "0.98". The value of the parameter 52 extracted by the image recognition unit 13b may be stored in the storage unit 14.
次に、演算部13cは、画像認識部13bにより抽出されたパラメータ52の値を入力として、予め定められた決定アルゴリズムに基づいて、変更先のパラメータの値を決定する(ステップS12)。具体的には、たとえば、演算部13cは、「0.98」というパラメータ52の値を入力として、予め定められた決定アルゴリズム(たとえば所定の計算式)に基づいて、変更先のパラメータの値を「1.00」であると決定する。
Next, the calculation unit 13c takes the value of the parameter 52 extracted by the image recognition unit 13b as an input, and determines the value of the parameter to be changed based on a predetermined determination algorithm (step S12). Specifically, for example, the calculation unit 13c takes the value of the parameter 52 of "0.98" as an input, and sets the value of the parameter to be changed based on a predetermined deterministic algorithm (for example, a predetermined calculation formula). It is determined to be "1.00".
次に、信号出力部13dは、演算部13cから変更先のパラメータの値を取得し、パラメータ52の値を変更先のパラメータの値へと変更するための一連の入力を入力機器(不図示)が受け付けた際に入力機器から出力される一連の信号と同じ信号を疑似的に生成する(ステップS13)。具体的には、たとえば、「PDXXXX」という識別情報(タグ51)により識別される計器が示す値を「1.00」に変更したい場合であって、オペレータであれば、キーボードから「P」「D」「X」「X」「X」「X」「1」「.」「0」「0」「(リターン)」のキーを順に押し下げる操作(入力)を行う必要がある場合に、信号出力部13dは、キーボードに対して「P」「D」「X」「X」「X」「X」「1」「.」「0」「0」「(リターン)」のキーを順に押し下げる一連の操作(入力)が行われた際に当該キーボードから出力される一連の信号と同じ信号を疑似的に生成する。
Next, the signal output unit 13d acquires the value of the parameter to be changed from the calculation unit 13c, and inputs a series of inputs for changing the value of the parameter 52 to the value of the parameter to be changed (not shown). Simultaneously generates the same signal as the series of signals output from the input device when the input device receives the signal (step S13). Specifically, for example, when it is desired to change the value indicated by the instrument identified by the identification information (tag 51) "PDXXXXX" to "1.00", and if the operator is an operator, "P" "P" " Signal output when it is necessary to perform an operation (input) in which the keys "D", "X", "X", "X", "X", "1", ".", "0", "0", and "(return)" are pressed down in order. Part 13d is a series of pressing the "P", "D", "X", "X", "X", "X", "1", ".", "0", "0", and "(return)" keys in order with respect to the keyboard. When an operation (input) is performed, the same signal as a series of signals output from the keyboard is pseudo-generated.
そして、信号出力部13dは、生成した信号(入力機器から出力される一連の信号と同じ信号)を、出力端子12を介して燃焼制御装置20の入力機器接続端子へと入力する(ステップS14)。
Then, the signal output unit 13d inputs the generated signal (the same signal as a series of signals output from the input device) to the input device connection terminal of the combustion control device 20 via the output terminal 12 (step S14). ..
以上のような本実施の形態によれば、燃焼制御装置20(情報処理装置)に、自動制御方法を実行させるための他のプログラム(アプリケーション)を追加で導入しなくても、燃焼制御装置20の外部に本件装置10を設置し、本件装置10の入力端子11を燃焼制御装置20のディスプレイ接続端子21に接続するとともに、本件装置10の出力端子12を燃焼制御装置20の入力機器接続端子22に接続すれば、本件装置10は、燃焼制御装置20のディスプレイ接続端子21から出力される画像データ50から画像認識処理によりパラメータ52の値を抽出し、決定アルゴリズムに基づいて変更先のパラメータの値を決定し、パラメータ52の値を変更先のパラメータの値へと変更するための一連の入力を入力機器が受け付けた際に入力機器から出力される一連の信号と同じ信号を入力機器接続端子22へと入力することで、燃焼制御装置20のパラメータ52の値を自動的に変更することができる。したがって、燃焼制御装置20の外部に、情報処理装置を自動で操作する装置(本件装置)10が構成されるため、燃焼制御装置20に他のプログラム(アプリケーション)を追加で導入することなく、燃焼制御装置20を自動で操作することが可能となる。
