CONSTITUTION:A microcomputer 3-1 having a CPU3-2 is connected to plural apparatuses 3-3 to be controlled in a schedule operation control system to control the respective apparatuses 3-3 by the CPU3-2. ON/OFF time tables 5-2, apparatus registration tables 5-3 and schedule registration tables 5-4 for registering plural schedules are formed in a schedule registration table 5-1 to be used for the system. The control schedule of each apparatus 3-3 is registered in the table 5-1 in each bit every ON/OFF control time, so that the contents of the registered schedule pattern is easily corrected and the operation is controlled with the limited storage capacity.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a scheduled operation control method, and particularly to a method for controlling scheduled operation. a
When performing schedule operation control of each controlled device in one device, it is possible to easily register the schedule pattern of each controlled device in the schedule registration table and to modify it when changing the schedule pattern. The present invention relates to a schedule operation control method suitable for reducing allocated storage capacity.

[Background of the invention]

The first step is to determine the daily device on/off schedule pattern.
FIG. 2 shows one format of a conventional schedule registration table.

In the conventional method, devices that are to be turned on and off at the same time are grouped into one group, and a daily schedule pattern 1-1 is created as shown in FIG. One of schedule patterns 1-1 for this one group
The mountain 1-2 is the schedule registration table 2 in Figure 2.
-1 to one schedule registration block 272, and in the same way, the remaining mountains are allocated to each schedule registration block, and furthermore, all the groups are allocated.

The correspondence between each registration item in the schedule registration block 2-2 and one mountain 1-2 of the schedule pattern is as follows.

Set the time 1-2-1 to turn on the device in the ON time registration table 2-3 of the schedule registration block 2-2, and set the time 1-2-2 to turn off the device in the OF"F time registration table 2-4.Next The address 2-5 of the schedule block linked to is set with the address of a schedule registration block that sets the on and off times of the next peak so as to follow a predetermined schedule pattern.

In this way, all schedule patterns are set in the schedule registration table 2-1.

The conventional method used the schedule registration method described above, which was extremely troublesome, and when modifying one schedule pattern, it was necessary to add a table and modify the necessary addresses in one go. The drawback was that it had to be done one by one. Furthermore, although devices are controlled in byte units, if a table needs to be added, 6 bytes are required for each device and each table, resulting in an increase in calculation storage capacity.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and its purpose is to easily register the schedule patterns of a plurality of controlled devices of a control device in a schedule registration table and to modify the registered contents when changing the schedule pattern. Go,
Another object of the present invention is to provide a scheduled operation control method that can perform scheduled operation control with limited calculation storage capacity.

[Summary of the invention]

The sexual characteristics of the present invention are that the schedule registration table is divided into a plurality of schedule registration blocks each consisting of an on/off time table and a device registration table, and
The off time table shows the on and off times for each schedule pattern.
The off-time is set in chronological order, and the operating state of each controlled device at the corresponding time is registered in bit units together with the device in the device registration table.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the method of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 3 to 8.

FIG. 3 is an overall configuration diagram of a control device to which the method according to the present invention is applied, in which a CPU (or MPU) 3-2 in a control f111 device 3-1 controls each controlled device 3-3. It is.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a daily schedule pattern for turning on and off controlled devices, and FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the structure of a schedule registration table in which the pattern is registered.

First, as shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of schedules '4971' consisting of an ON/OFF time table 5-2 and a device registration table 5-3 is set in the schedule registration table 5-1.
It is divided into blocks 5-4.

Then, create an on/off schedule pattern for all controlled devices 3-3, such as a schedule pattern 4-1 shown in FIG.

All the times related to ON and OFF are selected in chronological order regardless of the schedule pattern, and as shown in FIG. Set the time.

At this time, each schedule registration block 5-4
The device registration table 5-3 indicates whether the block is ON or OFF.
The operating states of all controlled devices 3-3 at the time set in the F' time table 5-2 are registered in bits together with the devices.

However, when registering the operating state, for example, bit 61", '0' indicates whether the state is on or off, such as bit "'1" for on state and bit "'0" for off state. is determined and registered in bit units. Furthermore, bits corresponding to each controlled device 3-3 are also determined in advance.

In this way, the registered schedule registration block 5-
4 constitutes the schedule registration table 5-1.

As described above, if the operating status of each device is set and controlled in bits in the schedule registration block 5-4 for each on and off time, the registration in the schedule registration table 5-1 is controlled. and its modification operations become easier. For example, when modifying the standard pattern for a certain controlled device 3-3, as shown in FIG.
When changing schedule pattern 6-1 to 6-2,
In conventional schedule operation control, the correction procedure is as shown in the flowchart shown in FIG. 7, whereas in the method of the present invention, when registration is performed as shown in FIG. The procedure becomes simple as shown in the flowchart shown in FIG.

In FIG. 7, it is determined in step 10 whether there is a group that has the same pattern as the modified new schedule pattern for a certain device, and if there is a group that has the same pattern, the process proceeds to step 20; if not, the process proceeds to step 30. . In step 20, devices that operate according to the modified schedule pattern are already registered in a certain group, and once the registration is completed, the process ends. In step 30, a new group with a new schedule pattern different from the previous groups is newly created.

Then, in step 40, new schedule records (turn on and off times are registered in the schedule registration block of that group. Also, in step 50, which schedule is next registered for each schedule registration block? Specify whether to jump to the lock address (registration), and determine in step 60 whether there is still a schedule time to be registered.If there is still time to register, jump to step 40, otherwise end.

In FIG. 8, focusing only on the time of the schedule pattern modified in step 100, it is determined whether that time has already been registered as a schedule registration block in the schedule registration table 5-1, and if it is registered, step.

Proceed to 110, and if it is not registered, step.

Proceed to 120. In step 110, the )19th hour (
Registered schedule registration) ゛Schedule turn 6 with modified bits corresponding to devices in the lock
Delete only the number of devices corresponding to -2, and end after deletion. In step 120, the fact that the schedule registration block is not registered corresponds to the modified schedule pattern 6-2 shown in FIG. Since this indicates that a schedule registration block for the target time was provided, the schedule registration block for the target time is deleted from the schedule registration table 5-1.

Comparing FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, it is clear that FIG. 8 requires less manual input for correction, and the correction operation is simpler. Although a detailed explanation is omitted, the same applies not only at the time of modification but also at the time of registration.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, registration and modification to the schedule registration table 5-1 can be easily performed.

Furthermore, according to the conventional schedule operation control method, as shown in Fig. 2, groups were created for each same schedule pattern and each was registered in the schedule seal registration table 2-1, so if the schedule patterns were different, ,
Even if mountains 1-2 that turn on and off during the same time period become N-kaede, it was necessary to newly register 6 points each in schedule registration block 2-2. x n (n=1.2+...) bytes were additionally required.In contrast, according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. Since the schedule registration block 5-4 is registered in the device registration table 5-3 in the schedule registration block 5-4, the schedule registration blocks 5-4 for the same time will not overlap and will be within the pre-allocated storage capacity. The schedule registration table 5-1 can be configured by the above.Thus, even if the storage capacity allocated for performing scheduled operation control is small, it is possible to perform scheduled operation control within that storage capacity.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, since a time-series schedule registration table is used that allows controlled devices to be controlled bit by bit at each on and off time, each controlled device is registered in the schedule registration table. It is possible to easily register a schedule pattern and modify the registered contents when changing a schedule pattern, and furthermore, it is possible to perform schedule operation control with limited computer storage capacity.
