Abstract

A first power consumption measuring unit 5 measures only the power consumption of a pump 21 that is a reference unit of a liquid chromatograph 2. A second power consumption measuring unit 6 measures only the power consumption of a gas chromatograph main body 31 that is a reference unit of a gas chromatograph 3. An operating information acquiring unit acquires pieces of operating information on an automatic sampler 22, an oven 23, and a detector 24 that are target units of the liquid chromatograph 2 based on information on the power consumption of the pump 21. The operating information acquiring unit acquires the operating information on a head space sampler 32 that is a target unit of the gas chromatograph 3 based on information on the power consumption of the gas chromatograph main body 31. Thus, even in the case where the analyzer includes many target units, only the power consumption of the reference units is measured, and the operating time period calculating unit can acquire the pieces of operating information on the target units from the power consumption of the reference units.

First claim

1 . An analysis control system comprising:
a plurality of analyzers configured to analyze a sample using a plurality of units; a plurality of power consumption measuring units configured to measure power consumption of a reference unit included in the plurality of units of the analyzers; and an operating information acquiring unit configured to acquire operating information on a target unit that is a unit other than the reference unit of the analyzers based on power consumption of the reference units measured at the power consumption measuring units.

2 . The analysis control system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the reference unit is a unit having a highest operating rate in the plurality of units of the analyzers.

3 . The analysis control system according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an operating time period calculating unit configured to calculate operating time periods of the reference units based on power consumption of the reference units measured at the power consumption measuring units; and a storage unit configured to memorize a ratio of operating time periods between the reference unit and the target unit of the analyzers as device configuration information, wherein the operating information acquiring unit acquires an operating time period of the target unit as the operating information based on operating time periods of the reference units calculated at the operating time period calculating unit and the device configuration information memorized on the storage unit.

4 . The analysis control system according to claim 3 , further comprising:
an input accepting unit configured to accept an input of the device configuration information; and an information rewrite processing unit configured to rewrite the device configuration information memorized on the storage unit when the input accepting unit accepts an input of the device configuration information.

5 . The analysis control system according to claim 1 , wherein
the plurality of power consumption measuring units includes
an operating time period calculating unit configured to calculate operating time periods of the reference units based on power consumption of the reference units measured at the power consumption measuring units, and
a storage unit configured to memorize a ratio of operating time periods between the reference unit and the target unit of the analyzers as device configuration information, wherein the operating information acquiring unit acquires an operating time period of the target unit as the operating information based on operating time periods of the reference units calculated at the operating time period calculating unit and the device configuration information memorized on the storage unit.

6 . The analysis control system according to claim 1 , further comprising
a setting information acquiring unit configured to acquire setting information on operation of a plurality of components included in the plurality of units, wherein the operating information acquiring unit acquires operating information on the components based on setting information on the components acquired at the setting information acquiring unit.

7 . The analysis control system according to claim 6 , further comprising
an error information acquiring unit configured to acquire error information on the plurality of components of the analyzers, wherein the operating information acquiring unit acquires operating information on the components based on setting information on the components acquired at the setting information acquiring unit and error information on the components acquired at the error information acquiring unit.
