Abstract

Maintenance guidance is provided so that maintenance work is carried out without distinguishing operating state replacement/non-operating state replacement, faulty component replacement/preventive maintenance replacement, or replacement/expansion, and that an operator can carry out maintenance work without operation errors. To achieve such maintenance guidance, there are included: a component selection screen display unit that displays a plurality of components which can be maintenance targets, to allow the operator to select a maintenance target component; a state determination unit that determines a power state or an installation state of the maintenance target component selected by the selection screen display unit; and an instruction screen display unit that gives an instruction to carry out maintenance work in accordance with the determination state determined by the state determination unit.

Dependent claims

A maintenance work guidance display device that gives guidance to an operator about replacement or expansion of a component of a system for assisting maintenance work for the system, the device comprising:

a component selection screen display unit that displays a plurality of components which can be maintenance targets, to allow the operator to select a maintenance target component;
a state determination unit that determines a power state regarding whether a power source is on or not for the maintenance target component selected by the component selection screen display unit, a first installation state regarding whether the maintenance target component selected is installed or not and a second installation state regarding whether the maintenance target component selected works normally or not;
a power source control unit that turns off the power source when the state determination unit determines the power source to be on;
and
an instruction screen display unit that gives one of an instruction to indicate that:
the maintenance work is a replacement of a normally working component and to carry out maintenance work after the power source is turned off by the power source control unit when the power source is determined to be on,
the maintenance work is a faulty component replacement and to carry out maintenance work after the power source is turned off by the power source control unit when the power source is determined to be on when the maintenance target component selected is determined to be faulty by the state determination unit, and
the maintenance work is an expansion and to immediately carry out maintenance work when the power source is determined to be not on and when the maintenance target component is determined to be not installed by the state determination unit, and
a component state detection unit that detects the power source state and the first installation state and the second installation state, for each of the components, and
wherein, the state determination unit determines whether the power source is ON, when determining the power source is not ON, the state determination unit determines whether the maintenance target component selected is installed, when determining the power source is ON or the maintenance target component selected is installed, the state determination unit determines whether the maintenance target component selected is faulty, and
wherein the component selection screen display unit displays, together with the plurality of components, the power source state and the first installation state and the second installation state which are detected for each of the components by the component state detection unit.
