Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Summary] The present invention relates to an alarm collection method in a switchboard, etc., and particularly relates to an alarm collection method capable of efficiently using an alarm collection point. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an alarm shrinking method that enables flexible response by making it possible to set arbitrarily using station data according to conditions, and to provide a main device and a large number of devices associated therewith. In an alarm collection device that collects and analyzes alarm information from each of the devices in the configured system and generates an alarm,
A data storage area for storing data defining the correspondence between each alarm collection point and the type of alarm in the alarm collection device is provided, and when alarm information is received from each device, the data in the data storage area is referred to. It is constituted by generating an alarm.

[Industrial applications]

The present invention relates to an alarm collection method in an exchange or the like,
In particular, the present invention relates to an alarm collection method that can efficiently use an alarm collection point.

[Conventional technology]

2. Description of the Related Art In a large-sized system such as an exchange, an alarm collection device is provided for collecting and analyzing alarms for failures of components, environmental conditions, and the like, and generating an alarm when necessary.

In such an alarm collection device, generally, the types of alarms and the number of collection points (connection points) in the collection device are large, so that the correspondence between the alarm information and the collection point in which the information should be stored in the collection device is set. It is required to have flexibility.

FIG. 5 shows a schematic configuration diagram of a conventional alarm collection system. In FIG. 5, the alarm information from the devices A to Z for monitoring the occurrence of the alarm
, Are led to alarm connection points (A) to (Z) corresponding to the respective devices. Each of these alarm connection points (A) to (Z) constitutes an input terminal for receiving a particular type of alarm in the alarm collection device 12, so that the alarm information of each device A to Z is stored in the alarm collection device 12. It is configured to be fixedly connected to a specific alarm terminal. Alarm collection device 12
In, when the alarm information of each of the devices A to Z is received, it is analyzed and, if necessary, an appropriate alarm is generated according to the type of the alarm. The information on the analysis result in the alarm collection device 12 is sent to the central processing unit 13 of the main body,
The central processing unit 13 thereby performs a predetermined process corresponding to the alarm.

As described above, conventionally, in this type of alarm collection device, the correspondence between the type of alarm and the collection point (connection point) in the collection device is always fixedly determined.

Therefore, it is difficult to efficiently use the alarm collection point according to the locality. For example, an exchange at a certain station may have many devices of a certain type, but an exchange at another station may not have the same device. In order to be able to cope with such a case in a conventional alarm collection device, the maximum number of collection points that can be expected for the device must be prepared in advance,
The device scale tends to be large. On the other hand, if such an alarm collection device is used for another station, there may be a case where there are many collection points that are not used at all.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is to solve such a problem of the related art, and arbitrarily sets correspondence between an alarm type and a collection point in an alarm collection device using station data according to a station state. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an alarm collection method that enables flexible response.

[Means for solving the problem]

The alarm collection method of the present invention is applied to an alarm collection device 3 that collects and analyzes alarm information from each device 2 in a system including a main device 1 and a number of devices 2 attached thereto and generates an alarm. The data storage area 4 is provided, and when alarm information from each device 2 is received, an alarm is generated by referring to the data in the data storage area 4.

The data storage area 4 stores data that defines the correspondence between each alarm collection point in the alarm collection device 3 and the type of alarm.

Accordingly, the configuration of the present invention is as described below. That is, an alarm collection device 3 that collects and analyzes alarm information from each device 2 in a system including a main device 1 and a number of devices 2 attached thereto and generates an alarm.
A data storage area 4 for storing data that defines the correspondence between each alarm collection point and the type of alarm in the alarm collection device 3, and when the alarm information is received from each of the devices 2, the data storage area 4 And generating an alarm by referring to the data of (1).

Alternatively, there is provided a configuration as an alarm collection system, wherein data in the data storage area 4 is received from the main unit 1 and stored.

(Operation)

A data storage area 4 is provided in an alarm collection device 3 that collects and analyzes alarm information from each device 2 in a system including a main device 1 and a number of devices 2 attached thereto and generates an alarm. And data defining the correspondence between each alarm collection point in the alarm collection device 3 and the type of alarm.

When alarm information is received from a large number of the devices 2, the data is analyzed with reference to the data in the data storage area 4, and an alarm is generated if necessary.

Accordingly, the correspondence between the alarm information from each device 2 to be monitored and the collection point of the alarm collection device 3 that collects the information can be changed according to the station data, and the correspondence can be flexibly set. Collection points can be used efficiently.

〔Example〕

FIG. 2 shows a schematic configuration diagram of an alarm collection system as an embodiment of the present invention. The same parts as those in FIG. 5 have the same numbers. (1) to (26) indicate alarm collection points, and 14 indicates a station data area.

In FIG. 2, the alarm information from the devices A to Z is sent to the alarm collection point (1) via the construction wiring frame 11 respectively.
