Abstract

A device maintenance apparatus has a display, in which the display displays a first screen generated based on first device information of a maintenance-target device, a second screen generated based on second device information of the device, and a third screen generated based on the first device information and the second device information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A device maintenance apparatus for a plant or factory comprising:
a display, wherein the display is configured to display at least:
a first screen generated based on a first device information of a maintenance-target device,
a second screen generated based on a second device information of the device, and
a third screen generated based on the first device information and the second device information;

a device information storage storing the first device information and the second device information associated to each other;
a main screen generator configured to read the first device information from the device information storage and generate the first screen displaying the read first device information;
a sub screen generator configured to read from the device information storage the second device information associated with the first device information displayed on the first screen and to generate the second screen displaying the read second device information;
a selector configured to generate a selection screen for selecting device information to be displayed on the third screen from among at least either one of the first device information displayed on the first screen and the second device information displayed on the second screen; and
a screen generator configured to generate the third screen displaying the information selected in the selection screen.

2. The device maintenance apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the display is configured to display the first screen and the second screen transitionably.

3. The device maintenance apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the display is configured to further display the selection screen.

4. The device maintenance apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the display is configured to display the third screen on which each set of parameters of a respective one of the maintenance-target devices identified by different identifications is displayed, and wherein displayed positions of the sets of parameters are rearrangeable based on the different identifications over the third screen.

5. The device maintenance apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the display is configured to display the third screen on which each set of parameters of a respective one of the maintenance-target devices identified by different maintenance items is displayed, and wherein displayed positions of the sets of parameters are rearrangeable based on the different maintenance items over the third screen.

6. The device maintenance apparatus according to any one of claim 1 ,
wherein the display is configured to display on the first screen an operation history display screen that displays the operation history with respect to the device and displays on the second screen a maintenance information display screen that displays information regarding maintenance of the device.

7. A device maintenance apparatus for a plant or factory comprising:
a display configured to display a first screen generated based on a first device information of a maintenance-target device and a second screen generated based on a second device information of the device;
a report generator configured to generate a report based on the first device information and the second device information;
a device information storage storing the first device information and the second device information associated to each other;
a main screen generator configured to read the first device information from the device information storage and generate the first screen displaying the read first device information;
a sub screen generator configured to read from the device information storage the second device information associated with the first device information displayed on the first screen and to generate the second screen displaying the read second device information; and
a selector configured to generate a selection screen for selecting information to be included in the report from among at least either one of the first device information displayed on the first screen and the second device information displayed on the second screen,
wherein the report generator is configured to generate the report based on the information selected in the selection screen.

8. The device maintenance apparatus according to claim 7 ,
wherein the display is configured to further display the selection.

9. The device maintenance apparatus according to claim 7 ,
wherein the report generator is configured to generate the report in which each set of information of a respective one of the maintenance-target devices identified by different identifications is included, and wherein displayed positions of the sets of the information are rearrangeable based on the different identifications in the report.

10. The device maintenance apparatus according to claim 7 ,
wherein the report generator is configured to generate the report in which each set of information of a respective one of the maintenance-target devices identified by different maintenance items is included, and wherein displayed positions of the sets of the information are rearrangeable based on the different maintenance items in the report.

11. The device maintenance apparatus according to claim 7 ,
wherein the display is configured to display on the first screen an operation history display screen that displays the operation history with respect to the device and displays on the second screen a maintenance information display screen that displays information regarding maintenance of the device.

12. A device maintenance method for a plant or factory comprising:
displaying a first screen generated based on a first device information of a maintenance-target device;
displaying a second screen generated based on a second device information of the device; and
displaying a third screen generated based on the first device information and the second device information;
reading the first device information from a device information storage storing the first device information and the second device information associated to each other;
generating the first screen displaying the read first device information;
reading from the device information storage the second device information associated with the first device information displayed on the first screen;
generating the second screen displaying the read second device information;
generating a selection screen for selecting device information to be displayed on the third screen from among at least either one of the first device information displayed on the first screen and the second device information displayed on the second screen; and
generating the third screen displaying the information selected in the selection screen.

13. A device maintenance method for a plant or factory comprising:
displaying a first screen generated based on a first device information of a maintenance-target device;
displaying a second screen generated based on a second device information of the device; and
generating a report based on the first device information and the second device information;
reading the first device information from a device information storage storing the first device information and the second device information associated to each other;
generating the first screen displaying the read first device information;
reading from the device information storage the second device information associated with the first device information displayed on the first screen;
generating the second screen displaying the read second device information;
generating a selection screen for selecting information to be included in the report fr
