Abstract
This test device for a monitoring control device includes an input/output controller, a logic controller, a logic connector, a logic executing simulator, a test target indication unit, an apparatus characteristic receiver, a logic managing simulator, and a logic connection information generator. Using an apparatus characteristic obtained by the apparatus characteristic receiver, the logic managing simulator specifies a simulation logic appropriate for a control logic on the basis of a simulation logic management rule. The logic connector connects the control logic and the simulation logic, by using logic connection information generated on the basis of a logic connection rule.
Claims4
A test device for a monitoring control device for an apparatus that is to be a control target of a monitoring control system, the test device comprising:
- a control logic storage unit in which to store a control logic which is a logic for controlling the apparatus;
- a logic controller which executes the control logic retrieved from the control logic storage unit;
- an input/output controller which instructs the logic controller to perform:
- an input operation of retrieving the control logic from the control logic storage unit and inputting the control logic to the logic controller;
- and an output operation of outputting a result of execution in the logic controller;
- a logic supplying simulator which supplies a simulation logic which is a logic for simulating operation of the apparatus;
- a logic executing simulator which retrieves the simulation logic from the logic supplying simulator and executes the simulation logic;
- a logic connector which connects the control logic and the simulation logic to each other;
- a test target indication unit to which an apparatus that is to be a control target of a control logic as a test target is indicated;
- a design book storage unit in which to store a design book, the design book being a book based on which the apparatus is used for designing the monitoring control system;
- an apparatus characteristic receiver which obtains, from the design book storage unit, an apparatus characteristic of the apparatus that has been indicated to the test target indication unit and that is to be the control target of the control logic as the test target;
- a logic managing simulator which specifies, on the basis of a simulation logic management rule describing relationship between the apparatus characteristic and the simulation logic, a simulation logic appropriate for the control logic as the test target;
- and
- a logic connection information generator which generates, on the basis of a logic connection rule describing a method for connecting the control logic and the simulation logic to each other, logic connection information for connecting the control logic as the test target and the simulation logic specified by the logic managing simulator to each other, wherein
- the logic connector connects the control logic as the test target and the simulation logic as the control target to each other, by using the logic connection information generated by the logic connection information generator.
