Description

Description: FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a disaster prevention monitoring device for fire, gas leakage, theft, etc. More specifically, a control program and data for a terminal device connected to a disaster prevention monitoring panel are stored in a ROM. The present invention relates to a disaster prevention monitoring device stored and used in a computer.

[Prior art] Conventionally, in a disaster prevention monitoring device using a program control by a CPU for a receiver, a fire detector, a gas leak detector, or the like is connected as a terminal device via a transmission line. When the detector detects a fire, a fire detection signal is transmitted to the receiver via the transmission path, and a fire alarm is issued on the receiver based on the fire detection signal.

By the way, in recent years, a so-called intelligent type disaster prevention monitoring device provided with a judgment function on the receiver side has been developed, and in particular, a model provided with a computer on the receiver side has been developed.

In such a disaster prevention monitoring device, for example, when a partition is changed after the device is installed, a part of the data is converted by replacing the data with a data ROM. When a design change for connecting a device to be newly controlled occurs, the device is started up by replacing the program ROM. In other words, different versions of the program ROM and data ROM are prepared in advance according to different specifications of the disaster prevention monitoring device, so that it is possible to easily respond to specification changes by replacing the upgraded program ROM and data ROM. ing.

If such a version upgrade of the program ROM is not used, the data ROM cannot be properly operated unless the upgraded version is used.

Therefore, conventionally, a version number is written on a sticker attached to the program ROM and the data ROM so that compatibility can be confirmed.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the conventional method in which the version number is written on the sticker attached to the ROM, the version number is likely to be erroneously written. As a result, the entire device must be checked before the cause of the failure caused by the incompatibility of the ROM is determined, and the inspection and adjustment become very complicated.

The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a disaster prevention monitoring device that can easily determine a setting error when a ROM whose version does not match is inserted.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve this object, the present invention is configured as follows.

First, the present invention is directed to a disaster prevention monitoring device having a program ROM and a data ROM. According to the present invention for such a disaster prevention monitoring device, the program ROM and the data ROM each store identification data indicating a version number, and furthermore, the program ROM and the data ROM are adapted or incompatible with the possible version numbers. A judgment table in which results are arranged in a matrix, and identification data indicating a version are read from the program ROM and the data ROM during the version check processing, and the program ROM and the data ROM are read.
Determination means for determining the compatibility of the versions with reference to a determination table, and notification means for notifying when the determination means determines that the versions of the program ROM and the data ROM are incompatible. Features.

[Operation] According to the disaster prevention monitoring device of the present invention having such a configuration, the program ROM and the data ROM whose versions do not match are provided.
Even if there is a setting error due to the insertion of a device, for example, when the device is started up by turning on the power, the compatibility is checked by referring to the determination table that determines the compatibility based on the version identification data of the program ROM and the version identification data of the data ROM. Judgment, if not, by notifying the ROM version non-conformance message, warning, etc.,
Immediately recognizes ROM setting errors, and matches the version of R
The device can be easily operated normally by replacing it with the OM.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 is an embodiment configuration diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a case where an information panel as an auxiliary display panel is added to a basic device configuration including a receiver and a terminal device such as a fire detector is exemplified.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a receiver, and a repeater 14, an analog smoke detector 16 having a relay function, and an analog heat sensor 18 also having a relay function are provided on a transmission line 12 drawn from the receiver 10. Connected. An on / off sensor 22 is connected to the repeater 14 via a power / signal line 20.

The receiver 10 is provided with a control unit 24 using a CPU, and the control unit 24 is provided with a display unit 26, an operation unit 28, and a sounding unit 30. The control unit 24 sequentially calls the repeater 14, the analog smoke detector 16 and the analog heat sensor 18 via the transmission line 12 by a polling method, and returns the fire detection information. On / off sensor 22 connected to repeater 14
In response to the fire detection information, the control unit 24 immediately judges a fire, displays a fire alarm on the display unit 26, and sounds an alarm bell or the like by the sounding unit 30. In addition, the analog detection information from the analog smoke detector 16 is compared with, for example, a threshold value in the control unit 24, and when a fire level is reached, a fire alarm is similarly issued.

For the receiver 10, in this embodiment, the transmission path 32
, An information panel 34 as a sub display panel is newly added. For example, in a hospital or the like, a receiver 10 of a disaster prevention monitoring device is installed in a monitoring center. Since the fire information can only be grasped at the monitoring center, there is a possibility that effective evacuation guidance may not be performed, and an information panel 34 as a sub display panel may be added at the time of design change. The information panel 34 has the same CP as the receiver 10.
It includes a control unit 24-1, a display unit 26-1, an operation unit 28-1, and a sounding unit 30-1 using U, and controls display and the like based on information from the receiver 10.

As described above, when the information panel 34 as a sub display panel is newly connected to the receiver 10, the receiver 10
In this case, new control such as checking of a standby power supply in the information panel 34 and monitoring of disconnection is added, so that new programs and data are required.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an embodiment showing the control unit 24 in the receiver 10 of FIG. 1 together with peripheral devices.

In FIG. 2, the control unit 24 includes a CPU 36, a program ROM 38,
A data ROM 40 and a data RAM 45 are provided.

In the present invention, the program ROM 38 stores identification data 42 indicating a version number, and in this embodiment, V1 indicating a version number 1 is stored as identification data. Similarly, the data ROM 40 also stores identification data 44 indicating its version, and in this embodiment, V1 indicating version number 1 is stored.

Further, the program ROM 38 stores a determination table 46 indicating the compatibility of the version of the data ROM 40 with the version of the program ROM 38. This judgment table
46 has, for example, a table configuration shown in FIG.

In FIG. 3, the version number of the program ROM 38, that is, the program version is 1, 2, 3, and 4, while the version number of the data ROM 40, that is, the data version is 1, 2, 3, 4, and the program and data Table data which is 1 for conformity and 0 for non-conformity is stored.

In the case of the program ROM 38 and the data ROM 40 shown in FIG. 2, since the version number of the data ROM 40 is also 1 with respect to the version number 1 of the program ROM 38, the data version matches the program version from the judgment table 46 of FIG. You can see that there is.

Referring to FIG. 2 again, the CPU 36 is provided with a function of a judgment means 48. The judging means 48 reads the version identification data 42 and 44 of the program ROM 38 and the data ROM 40 at the time of startup by turning on the power of the apparatus, reads the judgment table 46 from the program ROM 38, and uses the judgment table 46 to determine the program version and the data version. Judge the conformity of. When the version mismatch is determined by the determination unit 48, for example, a message indicating a version setting error is displayed on the display device 50, or the ROM version setting error is notified as a voice message using the voice synthesizer 52, and further, A mistake is made in setting the ROM version in the printer 54.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a ROM version check process performed by the CPU 36 provided in the control unit 24 shown in FIG. 2 when the system is started.

In FIG. 4, when the device is powered on,
In step S1, the CPU 36 acquires the identification data 44 indicating the version of the data ROM 40. Subsequently, in S2, the presence or absence of compatibility with the version identification data 42 obtained from the program ROM 38 is determined by referring to the determination table 46. If there is compatibility, the process proceeds to S3 to start up the system. Meanwhile, the program
If there is no compatibility with the version of the ROM 38, the process proceeds to S4, and a warning is displayed to replace the data ROM 40 with a version of the data ROM 40. In the warning display in S4, the number of the data version matching the program version may be displayed.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the version of the program ROM and the data ROM when the information panel 34 as an auxiliary display panel is added to the receiver 10 is taken as an example. As an example, for example, if fire judgment software for making a fire judgment using analog data of the analog smoke detector 16 and the analog heat sensor 18 is installed in the control unit 24 of the receiver 10, a new schedule control is performed. There is an embodiment in which a version upgrade is performed by adding. Schedule control is, for example, judgment control such as lowering the fire judgment level during the daytime and increasing the fire judgment level at night, or lowering the fire judgment level in a kitchen. As shown in FIG. 2, for the version upgrade by adding the schedule control function, the data ROM 40 is replaced with a version suitable for the version upgrade of the program ROM 38, and whether or not the program version and the data version are compatible when the apparatus is started. Is checked, and if there is a setting error, the user can easily know the setting error and respond by reporting the version mismatch.

Further, the present invention can be applied in exactly the same manner to a program change accompanying a change in the use of a room and a change for enhancing functions, in addition to the addition of schedule control.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the compatibility of a program ROM and a data ROM is determined using a determination table when the device is started up. In order to notify the nonconformity, even if there is a version setting error due to the replacement of the data ROM for the upgrade of the control program due to the addition or change of the device, the user can immediately know the version setting error and respond appropriately.
Inspection of the entire apparatus due to a version setting error is not required, and inspection adjustment at the time of starting the apparatus accompanying the version up can be performed extremely easily.
