Abstract

A system display control unit causes a display unit to display a simulated system screen. A symbol selection unit receives a selection of a symbol from a user. A model display control unit causes the display unit to display a plant model in which a component model corresponding to the component represented by the selected symbol is emphasized. A model selection unit receives a selection of a component model from the user. A component information display control unit causes the display unit to display information about the component represented by the selected model.

Claims (27)

1. A component information retrieval device for retrieving information about a component forming a plant, the component information retrieval device comprising:

a system display control unit configured to cause a display unit to display a simulated system screen equivalent to a system screen displayed in a monitoring device of the plant, the system screen indicating a symbol representing the component together with a connection relationship between components;

a symbol selection unit configured to receive a selection of the symbol from a user;

a model display control unit configured to cause the display unit to display a plant model that is formed by a combination of component models each being a three-dimensional model representing the component, the plant model being a three-dimensional model of the plant and including a component model corresponding to the component represented by the selected symbol being emphasized, wherein component models representing piping among the component models are colored in colors different from each other;

a model selection unit configured to receive a selection of the component model from the user;

a component information display control unit configured to cause the display unit to display information about the component represented by the selected component model; and

a detailed system display control unit configured to cause the display unit to display a detailed system diagram that indicates the connection relationship between the components represented by the component models forming the plant model and in which a line representing the connection relationship between the components is colored in the same color as a color of the component model representing the piping connecting the components.

2. The component information retrieval device according to claim 1 , wherein

the simulated system screen is a screen that displays information used in an operation of a simulator of the plant.

3. The component information retrieval device according to claim 1 , wherein

the number of the symbols included in the simulated system screen is less than the number of the component models forming the plant model.

4. The component information retrieval device according to claim 1 , wherein

the plant model is formed by the component models of the components belonging to a system indicated on the simulated system screen.

5. A component information retrieval method for retrieving information about a component forming a plant, the component information retrieval method comprising the steps of:

causing, by a component information retrieval device, a display unit to display a simulated system screen equivalent to a system screen displayed in a monitoring device of the plant, the system screen indicating a symbol representing the component together with a connection relationship between components;

receiving, by the component information retrieval device, a selection of the symbol from a user;

causing, by the component information retrieval device, the display unit to display a plant model that is formed by a combination of component models each being a three-dimensional model representing the component, the plant model being a three-dimensional model of the plant and including a component model corresponding to the component represented by the selected symbol being emphasized, wherein component models representing piping among the component models are colored in colors different from each other;

receiving, by the component information retrieval device, a selection of the component model from the user;

causing, by the component information retrieval device, the display unit to display information about the component represented by the selected component model; and

causing, by the component information retrieval device, the display unit to display a detailed system diagram that indicates the connection relationship between the components represented by the component models forming the plant model and in which a line representing the connection relationship between the components is colored in the same color as a color of the component model representing the piping connecting the components.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a program stored thereon for causing a computer of a component information retrieval device for retrieving information about a component forming a plant to:

cause a display unit to display a simulated system screen equivalent to a system screen displayed in a monitoring device of the plant, the system screen indicating a symbol representing the component together with a connection relationship between components;

receive a selection of the symbol from a user;

cause the display unit to display a plant model that is formed by a combination of component models each being a three-dimensional model representing the component, the plant model being a three-dimensional model of the plant and including a component model corresponding to the component represented by the selected symbol being emphasized, wherein component models representing piping among the component models are colored in colors different from each other;

receive a selection of the component model from the user;

cause the display unit to display information about the component represented by the selected component model; and

cause the display unit to display a detailed system diagram that indicates the connection relationship between the components represented by the component models forming the plant model and in which a line representing the connection relationship between the components is colored in the same color as a color of the component model representing the piping connecting the components.
