US 2010/0168876 A1 · INFORMATION CONTROL SYSTEM AND INFORMATION CONTROL METHOD

Abstract

An information control system capable of precisely defining and executing a condition for stipulating a state of an apparatus to be controlled. A storage unit stores an object definition table storing data items of a structure and a state of an object constituting a controlled system, and an actor definition table storing a monitor condition of an object state, an object monitor item and a setting value, as an actor as a control element for monitoring and controlling the object. A processing unit receives an object state from the controlled system, and when the state changes, transmits changed state value to the actor. The actor then refers to the actor definition table to judge whether the monitor condition is satisfied, and if satisfied, changes the setting value of the monitor condition and transmits a control command for setting value change to the object corresponding to the monitor item.

Dependent claims

A control system for monitoring a state of an object constituting a controlled system and issuing a control command to said object, comprising a storage unit and a processing unit, wherein:

said storage unit stores actor definition information linking an object name of said object, a monitor item of said object, a setting value of said monitor item and a monitor condition of said setting value, as an actor serving as a control element for monitoring and controlling said object;
said processing unit receives a state value representative of the state of said object from said controlled system, and when the state of said object changes, transmits said changed state value to said actor monitoring the state of said object;
and
said actor received said state value refers to said actor definition information to judge whether said monitor condition is satisfied, and if the monitor condition is satisfied, changes said setting value of said monitor item, and transmits a control command for said changed setting value to said object corresponding to said monitor item to change the state of said object in accordance with said transmitted control command.

A control method for a control system for monitoring a state of an object constituting a controlled system and issuing a control command to said object, the control system comprising a storage unit and a processing unit, wherein:

said storage unit stores actor definition information storing an object name of said object, a monitor item of said object, a setting value of said monitor item and a monitor condition of said setting value, as an actor serving as a control element for monitoring and controlling said object;
said processing unit receives a state value representative of the state of said object from said controlled system, and when the state of said object changes, transmits said changed state value to said actor monitoring the state of said object;
and
said actor received said state value refers to said actor definition information to judge whether said monitor condition is satisfied, and if the monitor condition is satisfied, changes said setting value of said monitor item, and transmits a control command for said changed setting value to said object corresponding to said monitor item to change the state of said object in accordance with said transmitted control command.
