Abstract
The present invention facilitates the confirmation of the state of a slave device. This terminal monitoring device (10) comprises: a terminal information acquisition unit (14) for acquiring, from terminals of a network, terminal information including the addresses of the respective terminals, information for each type, and information pertaining to communication states; and a terminal list screen generation unit (151) that generates a terminal list screen on which selection boxes for displaying the terminals and the terminal information are disposed side by side on the basis of the terminal information and that displays the generated screen on a display unit (12).
Claims16
A terminal monitoring device, connected to a network comprising slave devices, as terminals, controlled by a master device, the terminal monitoring device comprising:
- a display unit, displaying a screen;
- a terminal information acquisition unit, acquiring terminal information comprising each address, type information, and communication status information from the terminals, wherein the terminal information, in a case where the terminal is the slave device, comprises information of a communication status relating to each of a plurality of communication ports of the slave device;
- a terminal list screen generation unit, generating, based on the terminal information, a terminal list screen on which selection boxes representing the terminals and displaying the terminal information are disposed side by side, and displaying the terminal list screen on a display unit;
- a communication status screen generation unit, generating, based on the terminal information, a communication status screen illustrating a communication status relating to each of the communication ports of the slave device, and displaying the communication status screen on the display unit;
- a cable diagnosis control unit, making the slave device execute a diagnosis of a communication cable connected to a specific communication port and acquiring a result of the diagnosis, and
- a lamp lighting control unit which makes the slave device turn on a lamp mounted on the slave device,
- wherein when information of the communication status regarding the slave device comprises information illustrating a communication abnormality of the specific communication port of the slave device,
- an expression illustrating a status of the communication cable based on the result of the diagnosis acquired from the cable diagnosis control unit is displayed on the communication status screen regarding the slave device, and
- a lighting instruction box is disposed on the communication status screen, the lighting instruction box receives a lamp lighting instruction provided for the slave device displayed on the communication status screen to the lamp lighting control unit.
A terminal monitoring device, connected to a network comprising slave devices, as terminals, controlled by a master device, the terminal monitoring device comprising:
- a display unit, displaying a screen;
- a terminal information acquisition unit, acquiring terminal information comprising each address, type information, and communication status information from the terminals, wherein the terminal information, in a case where the terminal is the slave device in which a plurality of device ports for connection with devices are provided, comprises information relating to communication with the device at each of the device ports of the slave device;
- a terminal list screen generation unit, generating, based on the terminal information, a terminal list screen on which selection boxes representing the terminals and displaying the terminal information are disposed side by side, and displaying the terminal list screen on a display unit;
- a device connection status screen generation unit, generating, based on the terminal information, a device connection status screen illustrating connection statuses of the devices at the device ports of the slave device, and displaying the device connection status screen on the display unit;
- and
- a lamp lighting control unit which makes the slave device turn on a lamp mounted on the slave device,
- wherein a lighting instruction box is disposed on the device connection status screen, the lighting instruction box receives a lamp lighting instruction provided for the slave device displayed on the device connection status screen to the lamp lighting control unit.
