Description

  The present invention relates to a test support apparatus and a test support method for a plant control apparatus that supports verification of control logic of the plant control apparatus using a computer.

  Before starting operation of a plant control device that controls a plant such as a power generation facility, when verifying the control logic of the plant control device, or analyzing the cause (failure location) of the control logic operation found after starting operation In some cases, a test support apparatus equipped with a simulator that simulates the operation of the plant control apparatus with a computer is often used (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In such a test support device for a plant control device, for example, a signal output from a simulator and a signal output from a real device of the plant control device are compared, and if there is a mismatch, the actual device of the plant control device ( Hereinafter, it is determined that there is some problem in the control logic of the actual machine. In that case, the defective part of the control logic is not necessarily in the vicinity of a signal (hereinafter referred to as a malfunction signal) in which a mismatch is detected by the comparison. In some cases, it may be back a number of logic gates from a malfunction signal.

  At this time, if the input and output signals of all the logic gates included in the control logic of the plant control device can be obtained from the simulator and the actual machine, respectively, the control logic can be obtained by comparing both signals. Can be easily located. However, input and output signals for all logic gates cannot be obtained from the actual machine. Therefore, it is practically difficult to analyze a defective part of the control logic with only a computer, and it is necessary to make a judgment by humans.

Here, the verification of the control logic not only verifies that the control logic is designed and manufactured correctly, but also analyzes the cause of the malfunction of the operation discovered after the plant controller is in operation. Shall be included.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the test support apparatus 1 includes an information processing apparatus 10, an interface apparatus 20, a display apparatus 30, and an input apparatus 40. The information processing apparatus 10 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) (not shown), The personal computer is composed of a storage device (semiconductor memory and hard disk device). The information processing apparatus 10 is connected to a display device 30 such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), an input device 40 such as a keyboard and a mouse, and an interface device 20 that is a connection device with the external device 2. .

  Functionally, the information processing apparatus 10 includes a control logic selection unit 11, an external input signal data setting unit 12, a control logic simulation unit 13, an injection target signal line selection unit 14, a test signal data injection unit 15, and a test target signal line. It is configured to include functional blocks such as a selection unit 16, a test signal data injection influence determination unit 17, an input / output processing unit 18, a display processing unit 19, and the like. The operation of these functional blocks is realized by the CPU executing a predetermined program stored in the storage device.

  The storage device of the information processing apparatus 10 includes storage units such as a control logic diagram storage unit 21, an external input signal data storage unit 22, and a simulation result storage unit 23. These storage units appropriately store or refer to predetermined data when the functional block program is executed.

  Hereinafter, the operation of each functional block of the information processing apparatus 10 illustrated in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a processing flow of a test support process for control logic in the information processing apparatus 10, and FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a control logic selection screen displayed on the display device 30. 4 is a diagram showing an example of an external input signal data setting screen displayed on the display device 30, FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a control logic diagram display screen displayed on the display device 30, and FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a test signal data setting screen and a test signal data injection influence display screen that are pop-up displayed in a control logic diagram display screen.

  When the person in charge of the test starts the test support process of the control logic of the plant control apparatus by the information processing apparatus 10, the test person first specifies the control logic of the plant control apparatus to be tested. Therefore, the information processing apparatus 10 first prompts the person in charge of the test to select the control logic to be tested by displaying a control logic selection screen 31 as shown in FIG. 3 on the display device 30. Then, based on the selection information input by the person in charge of the test through the input device 40 (keyboard or the like), the control logic to be tested is selected (step S11 in FIG. 2: the process of the control logic selection unit 11 in FIG. 1). Equivalent).

  Here, it is assumed that at least one control logic diagram of the control logic of the plant control device is stored in the control logic diagram storage unit 21 in advance, and the information processing device 10 has a control logic diagram as shown in FIG. The name of the control logic diagram stored in the storage unit 21 is displayed in the control logic selection screen 31.

  Therefore, the person in charge of the test can designate the control logic to be tested by selecting and clicking one of the names of the control logic diagrams displayed in the control logic selection screen 31 with the mouse cursor. At this time, there may be a plurality of control logic diagrams having different revision numbers (revision numbers are represented by R1 and R2 in FIG. 3), for example, with respect to the control logic of the same plant control apparatus.

  The control logic is usually configured to include one or more external input terminals, logic gates, and external output terminals. Here, the logic elements may be not only logic gates such as AND, OR, INVERTER, but also storage elements such as flip-flops and registers, arithmetic elements such as adders and decoders, and further C language, etc. The logic described in the program may be used.

  The information of the control logic diagram stored in the control logic diagram storage unit 21 is not only information that describes the operation of the control logic, but information that describes the connection relationship of the logic elements that realize the control logic, And position information when the logic element is arranged in the drawing.

  Next, the information processing apparatus 10 sets the external input signal data input from the external input terminal into the control logic in order to operate the control logic selected in step S11 (step S12 in FIG. 2: FIG. 1). Equivalent to the processing of the external input signal data setting unit 12). At this time, the information processing apparatus 10 displays an external input signal data setting screen 32 as shown in FIG. Since the input source of selectable external input signal data is displayed on the external input signal data setting screen 32, the person in charge of the test may select one from among them with a mouse cursor or the like.

  The input source of the external input signal data may be a keyboard manually input by the person in charge of the test, or may be an external device 2 such as an actual plant device or a plant simulator connected via the interface device 20, Data stored in advance in the storage device (external input signal data storage unit 22) of the information processing apparatus 10 itself may be used.

  However, when the input source of the external input signal data is a keyboard, the signal data input from the keyboard is temporarily stored in the external input signal data storage unit 22. When the input source of the external input signal data is the external device 2, the external input signal data input from the external device 2 is directly supplied to the control logic simulation unit 13. After being stored in the storage unit 22, it may be supplied from the external input signal data storage unit 22 to the control logic simulation unit 13.

  Next, the information processing apparatus 10 displays a control logic diagram of the selected control logic on the display device 30 (step S13 in FIG. 2: corresponding to the processing of the display processing unit 19 in FIG. 1). That is, the information processing apparatus 10 displays a control logic diagram display screen 33 as shown in FIG. In the control logic diagram display screen 33, logic gates such as AND # 1, AND # 2, OR # 1, OR # 2, and signal lines connecting them to each other are displayed.

  Here, since the control logic diagram is normally created and displayed over a plurality of pages, the control logic diagram display screen 33 has a control field in addition to a name column 334 for displaying the name of the control logic diagram. A page column 335 for specifying a page of the logic diagram is provided. Further, a menu bar 330 is provided at the top of the control logic diagram display screen 33 for displaying command buttons (hereinafter simply referred to as buttons) used in the subsequent test support processing. The buttons displayed in the menu bar 330 include an injection target signal line selection button 331, a test target signal line selection button 332, an end button 333, and the like.

  Further, in the control logic diagram display screen 33, a circle attached to one end of the signal line indicates that the signal line is connected to the signal line of the control logic diagram displayed on another page, or external It means an input terminal or an external output terminal. In addition, although the code | symbol of T01-T07 displayed near (circle) mark is the name of the signal line, the name is P8. Assume that at least the page number (P8) including the signal line of the connection destination such as AND # 7 and the identification number (AND # 7) of the logic element of the connection destination are included.

  Next, the information processing apparatus 10 executes a simulation of the operation of the selected control logic based on the control logic diagram of the control logic selected in step S11 and the external input signal data set in step S12. (Step S14 in FIG. 2: equivalent to the process of the control logic simulation unit 13 in FIG. 1). Then, the output signal data of each logic element obtained as a result of the simulation is stored in the simulation result storage unit 23. In addition, among the output signal data of the logic element obtained as a result of the simulation, the data of the output signal of the logic element connected to the external output terminal (not shown) of the control logic (the data of the route indicated by circle a in FIG. 1) The data is output to the external device 2 via the input / output processing unit 18 and the interface device 20.

  Next, the information processing apparatus 10 determines whether or not the injection target signal line selection button 331 in the menu bar 330 displayed on the control logic diagram display screen 33 has been clicked (step S15).

  At this time, for example, the person in charge of the test selects the signal line 301 intended for injection of the test signal data from the signal lines displayed on the control logic diagram display screen 33 with a mouse cursor or the like, and the signal line to be injected Click the selection button 331. That is, when the injection target signal line selection button 331 is clicked (Yes in step S15), the information processing apparatus 10 selects the signal line 301 selected at that time as the injection target signal line of the test signal data. (Step S16 in FIG. 2: equivalent to the processing of the injection target signal line selection unit 14 in FIG. 1).

  Further, the information processing apparatus 10 pops up the test signal data setting screen 34 in the control logic diagram display screen 33a as shown in FIG. 6 and the selected injection target signal line 301 is not selected. In order to be distinguished from the signal line, for example, the display is changed in color (indicated by a thick line in FIG. 6). At this time, the test signal data injection influence display screen 35 is not displayed yet.

  Here, in the test signal data setting screen 34, a current value for displaying a signal value (hereinafter referred to as a current value) of the injection target signal line 301 obtained at that time by the simulation by the control logic simulation unit 13. A display field 341 is provided, and a disconnect button 343 for instructing disconnection of the injection target signal line 301 and a reconnect button 344 for instructing reconnection are provided.

  The disconnection of the injection target signal line 301 means an output terminal of an upstream logic element to which the injection target signal line 301 is connected (shown in the control logic diagram on another page in the example of FIG. 6). The reconnection means that the injection target signal line 301 once disconnected is returned to the original connection state.

  By this separation operation, the injection target signal line 301 is brought into a floating state, so that arbitrary test signal data can be injected into the injection target signal line 301. Therefore, the test signal data setting screen 34 is further provided with an injection value setting field 342 for setting test signal data to be injected into the injection target signal line 301.

  The person in charge of the test sets test signal data to be injected into the injection target signal line 301 via the injection value setting field 342. That is, the information processing apparatus 10 reads the test signal data set in the injection value setting field 342 and injects the read test signal data into the injection target signal line 301 (step S17 in FIG. 2: test signal in FIG. 1). This corresponds to the processing of the data injection unit 15).

  Note that the injection of the test signal data into the injection target signal line 301 is not performed only when the test signal data is set in the injection value setting column 342, but is performed when the disconnect button 343 is clicked. When the disconnect button 343 is clicked, the test signal data setting screen 34 is closed.

  Next, the information processing apparatus 10 determines whether or not the test target signal line has been selected (step S18). If the test target signal line has not been selected (No in step S18), the processing is performed. If the test target signal line has already been selected (Yes in step S18), the process proceeds to step S22.

  Next, if the injection target signal line selection button 331 has not been clicked in the determination in step S15 (No in step S15), the information processing apparatus 10 further checks whether the test target signal line selection button 332 has been clicked. It is determined whether or not (step S19).

  At this time, the person in charge of the test selects a signal line 305 from the signal lines displayed on the control logic diagram display screen 33 or 33a with the mouse cursor or the like to determine the influence of the injection of the test signal data, and the test object. Click the signal line selection button 332. That is, when the test target signal line selection button 332 is clicked (Yes in step S19), the information processing apparatus 10 selects the signal line 305 selected at that time as the test target signal line (FIG. 2). Step S20: Corresponding to the processing of the test target signal line selection unit 16 in FIG.

  Next, the information processing apparatus 10 determines whether or not the injection target signal line has been selected (step S21). If the injection target signal line has not been selected (No in step S21), the processing is performed. If the injection target signal line has already been selected (Yes in step S21), the process proceeds to step S22.

  When the information processing apparatus 10 proceeds with the process to step S22, next, the test signal data injected into the injection target signal line 301 in step S17 and the simulation result data obtained by the simulation of the control logic in step S14 Whether the test signal data injected into the injection target signal line 301 has an influence on the test target signal line 305 based on the connection data of the logic element of the control logic stored in the control logic diagram storage unit 21. Determination (step S22 in FIG. 2: equivalent to the processing of the test signal data injection influence determination unit 17 in FIG. 1).

  Next, the information processing apparatus 10 displays the determination result of the influence of the injected test signal data on the test target signal line 305 on the display device 30 (step S23). At this time, the information processing apparatus 10 pops up a test signal data injection influence display screen 35 as shown in the control logic diagram display screen 33a of FIG.

  In the test signal data injection influence display screen 35, the name of the test target signal line 305 selected in step S20 and the logical value of the test target signal line 305 obtained by the simulation by the control logic simulation unit 13 are displayed. Furthermore, the name of the injection target signal line into which the test signal data has been injected and the presence or absence of the influence on the test target signal line 305 due to the injection of the test signal data are displayed.

  In FIG. 6, it is assumed that signal lines 302 and 303 are selected in addition to the signal line 301 as the injection target signal line. These signal lines are displayed with different colors (thick lines) to indicate that they are injection target signal lines.

  Further, in FIG. 6, the name of the signal line is represented in the format “Pi.el # j.k”. Here, “i” of “Pi” is the page number of the control logic diagram, “el” is the name of the logic element such as AND, OR, “#j” is the serial number of the logic element, and “k” is the logic number This means that the input terminal number to the element (in the case of numbers) or the output terminal from the logic element (in the case of the letter “O”).

That is, the test signal data setting screen 34 and the test signal data injection influence display screen 35 pop-up displayed in FIG.
(1) Even if the injection target signal line 301 (P1.OR # 1.1) is disconnected and test signal data having the current value “0” as the injection value “1” is injected, the test target signal line 305 (P1.OR # 1.1) is injected. OR # 2.O) does not affect the signal value,
(2) Even if the injection target signal line 302 (P1. AND # 1.1) is disconnected and test signal data having the current value “0” as the injection value “1” is injected (illustration of the test signal data setting screen 34) Is omitted), but the signal value of the test target signal line 305 (P1.OR # 2.O) is not affected.
(3) Disconnecting the injection target signal line 303 (P1. AND # 2.1) and injecting test signal data in which the current value “1” is the injection value “0” (illustration of the test signal data setting screen 34 is omitted) ), The signal value of the test target signal line 305 (P1.OR # 2.O) is affected.

  In step S22, the presence or absence of the influence of the injected test signal data on the test target signal line 305 is determined by whether or not the signal value of the test target signal line 305 has changed due to the injection of the test signal data. The

  For example, even if the injection value “1” is injected into the injection target signal line 302 having the current value “0”, if the current value of the signal line 306 is “1”, the signal value of the signal line 304, that is, Regardless of the change in the signal value of the injection target signal line 302, the signal value of the test target signal line 305 remains “1” and does not change. Accordingly, it is determined that the injection of the test signal data having the injection value “1” into the injection target signal line 302 has no influence on the signal value of the test target signal line 305.

  Further, when the injection value “0” is injected into the injection target signal line 303 of the current value “1” and the current value of the signal line 304 is “0”, the signal value of the test target signal line 305 is It changes from “1” to “0”. Accordingly, it is determined that the injection of the test signal data of the injection value “0” into the injection target signal line 303 has an influence on the signal value of the test target signal line 305.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the description of the process flow of the test support process will be continued. After step S23, the information processing apparatus 10 returns the process to step S15. If the injection target signal line selection button 331 is not clicked in the determination in step S15 (No in step S15), and the test target signal line selection button 332 is not clicked in the determination in step S19 (step S15). It is determined whether or not the end button 333 has been clicked (No in S19) (step S24).

  At this time, if the end button 333 has not been clicked (No in step S24), the information processing apparatus 10 returns the process to step S15. In other words, the person in charge of the test determines whether or not the test signal data injection has an influence on the test target signal line by appropriately selecting another signal line as the injection target signal line or the test target signal line. Can continue. If the end button 333 is clicked (Yes in step S24), the test support process in FIG. 2 is ended.

  With the above test support processing, the test person can perform the following operations. That is, when a suspicious part is found in the operation of the control logic of the plant control device, a signal line that performs the suspicious operation is selected as a test target signal line, and the suspicious operation is caused. By selecting a signal line that seems to be an injection target signal line, the signal value of the injection target signal line can be easily changed (injection) from the test signal data setting screen 34. Furthermore, the test signal From the data injection influence display screen 35, it is possible to know the effect of the signal value injection to the test target signal line (that is, the presence or absence of the influence). Therefore, the person in charge of the test can easily know the relationship between the operation (cause operation) of the injection target signal line and the operation (result operation) of the test target signal line. It becomes easy to determine the cause of the operation.

  Of course, it is often the case that the test person selects several injection target signal lines and knows the relationship between the operation of the several injection target signal lines and the operation of the test target signal lines. It seems difficult to determine the cause of suspicious behavior. However, in the test support apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, since the test signal data setting screen 34 and the test signal data injection influence display screen 35 are provided, the usability (operability) for the tester is improved. . Therefore, the person in charge of the test can quickly know the operational relationship between more injection target signal lines and test target signal lines. As a result, the efficiency of the work to find the cause of the suspicious operation of the test target signal line is improved.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the usability of the test support device 1 used in the test for verifying the operation of the control logic of the plant control device or analyzing the defective portion is improved for the tester. As a result, the efficiency of the test work is also improved.

  Hereinafter, a supplementary explanation will be added to the embodiment described above.

  In general, when trying to determine the relationship of operation between the injection target signal line and the test target signal line, it is easier for the tester to determine the one-to-one relationship between the signal lines. Therefore, when the person in charge of the test finishes determining the relationship between the operation of the one set of injection target signal lines and the test target signal lines, the tester then presses the reconnect button 344 displayed on the test signal data setting screen 34. By clicking, the selection of the injection target signal line is canceled one by one.

  On the other hand, in the processing flow of the test support process shown in FIG. 2, it is possible to select a plurality of signal lines as injection target signal lines and select a plurality of signal lines as test target signal lines. Since it becomes difficult for the person in charge of the test to understand the relationship between the action of the cause and the action of the result, such a signal line is usually not selected. However, for example, when there is a control logic as shown in FIG. 7, the efficiency of the test work can be improved by selecting such a signal line.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of control logic that can improve the efficiency of test work when a plurality of signal lines are selected as injection target signal lines and a plurality of signal lines are selected as test target signal lines. FIG. Among the control logics, as shown in the control logic diagram display screen 33b of FIG. 7, for example, when performing arithmetic processing of two 16-bit data, a signal often flows from left to right. Logic may appear repeatedly (however, only a signal for 3 bits is shown in FIG. 7).

  In such a case, normally, there is no mutual logic dependency between the plurality of signal lines 311, 312, and 313, and there is no mutual relationship between the plurality of signal lines 314, 315, and 316. There are often no logic dependencies. Therefore, when it is considered to be clear, the person in charge of the test selects the signal lines 311, 312, and 313 as the injection target signal lines and appropriately displays them on the test signal data setting screen 34 (not shown in FIG. 7). Inject test signal data into Then, the signal lines 314, 315, and 316 are selected as test target signal lines, and the relationship between the operation of the signal lines 311 and 314 on the test signal data injection influence display screen 35 (not shown in FIG. 7), the signal line 312. And the operation relationship between the signal line 315 and the operation relationship between the signal line 313 and the signal line 315 are independently confirmed. By doing so, for example, malfunctions of the logic elements AND # 7, AND # 8, AND # 9 can be found.

  In such a case, even if the person in charge of the test determines that there is no mutual dependency between the signal line 311 and the signal line 316, for example, the signal line 311 is not connected to another page. For example, it is not impossible to enter the signal line 318 via the signal line 317 included in the control logic. However, in this embodiment, when the signal line 313 is selected as the injection target signal line and the signal line 316 is selected as the test target signal line, the signal line 311 remains selected as the test target signal line. In the determination of injection of test signal data into the signal line 316, the influence of the result of injection of test signal data into the signal line 311 can also be determined.

  In the case described above, the tester does not need to click the reconnect button 344 in the test signal data setting screen 34 every time the operation of one set of signal lines is confirmed. Work efficiency will be improved. At this time, in the menu bar 330, for example, a signal line selection simultaneous release button 336 that releases all injection target signal lines and test target signal lines selected at that time at the same time is provided. Convenient. In that case, the efficiency of the test work is further improved.
