Abstract
An engineering assistant system 1 includes: an engineering server 10 that issues a work list including information related to work necessary for performing the engineering of a process control system 100; and an at least one engineering client 20 that grants work authority for each worker based on the work list issued by the engineering server 10 and makes it possible to perform work on a constituent apparatus that constitutes the process control system 100 within a range of granted work authority.
Claims10
An engineering assistant system that assists engineering of a process control system, the engineering assistant system comprising:
- a server apparatus that issues a work list including information related to work necessary for performing the engineering of the process control system, the work list including a first list defining work necessary for performing the engineering of the process control system;
- and
- an at least one client apparatus that grants work authority for each worker based on the work list issued by the server apparatus and makes it possible to perform work on a constituent apparatus that constitutes the process control system within a range of granted work authority,
- wherein
- the client apparatus has a work progress list generating unit that generates a work progress list indicating work having been performed, and
- the server apparatus has a protection setting unit that sets, based on the work progress list having been generated, protection information for preventing repetitive performance of work having been performed among work defined in the first list.
An engineering assistant method of assisting engineering of a process control system, the engineering assistant method comprising:
- issuing a work list including information related to work necessary for performing the engineering of the process control system, the work list including a first list defining work necessary for performing the engineering of the process control system;
- granting work authority for each worker based on the work list issued in the issuing and making it possible to perform work on a constituent apparatus that constitutes the process control system within a range of granted work authority;
- generating a work progress list indicating work having been performed;
- and
- setting, based on the work progress list having been generated, protection information for preventing repetitive performance of work having been performed among work defined in the first list.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing thereon a program that, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform operations comprising:
- issuing a work list including information related to work necessary for performing engineering of a process control system, the work list including a first list defining work necessary for performing the engineering of the process control system;
- granting work authority for each worker based on the work list issued in the issuing and making it possible to perform work on a constituent apparatus that constitutes the process control system within a range of granted work authority;
- generating a work progress list indicating work having been performed;
- and
- setting, based on the work progress list having been generated, protection information for preventing repetitive performance of work having been performed among work defined in the first list.
A server apparatus that provides information to assist engineering of a process control system, the server apparatus comprising:
- a storing unit that stores design information of a constituent apparatus constituting the process control system;
- an issuing unit that uses the design information stored in the storing unit to issue a work list including information related to work necessary for performing the engineering of the process control system, the work list including a first list defining work necessary for performing the engineering of the process control system;
- and
- a protection setting unit that sets, based on a work progress list that has been generated by a client apparatus and indicates work having been performed, protection information for preventing repetitive performance of work having been performed among work defined in the first list.
A method for providing information by a server apparatus to assist engineering of a process control system, the method comprising:
- storing design information of a constituent apparatus constituting the process control system;
- using the stored design information to issue a work list including information related to work necessary for performing the engineering of the process control system, the work list including a first list defining work necessary for performing the engineering of the process control system;
- and
- setting, based on a work progress list that has been generated by a client apparatus and indicates work having been performed, protection information for preventing repetitive performance of work having been performed among work defined in the first list.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing thereon a program that, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform operations comprising:
- storing design information of a constituent apparatus constituting a process control system;
- using the stored design information to issue a work list including information related to work necessary for performing engineering of the process control system, the work list including a first list defining work necessary for performing the engineering of the process control system;
- and
- setting, based on a work progress list that has been generated by a client apparatus and indicates work having been performed, protection information for preventing repetitive performance of work having been performed among work defined in the first list.
