CONTROL TERMINAL ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DISPLAY DEVICE FOR OPERATOR'S CONSOLE FOR INSTRUMENTATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To instantaneously grasp both the terminal state and the terminal inherent information by retrieving the additional information on a selection terminal via the call operation coordinates of a mouse and displaying a window based on the call operation coordinates. SOLUTION: A screen 1 which monitors the sequence control on a CRT consists of an output pattern display 2 and a state transition logical chart display 3. In the display 2, an output terminal 4 is shown in the vertical direction and a pattern 5 that is outputted at every step of each process is displayed in the horizontal direction. The terminal 4 shows the state that is set at every step. A cursor CSR is set close to a terminal NO 'D00004' by the operation of a mouse MOU to refer to the additional information on a digital output terminal 9 of the display 2 on the screen 1. Then the information which is previously registered is shown beside the selected terminal as a window 10 by clicking the right button RBT of the mouse MOU.
