Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a central monitoring station (master telemeter station) to visually confirm the state of an object to be monitored at a remote place. SOLUTION: This telemeter system is provided with a CCD camera which picks up the image of the object to be monitored, and a CCD camera control unit which is connected to the camera and a slave telemeter station and directs the CCD camera toward the position set in accordance with the output information of the slave telemeter station.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a telemeter system for monitoring and controlling a remote place.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional telemeter system, when a central monitoring station (telemeter master station) controls a telemeter slave station to monitor an object to be monitored, information on the object to be monitored is displayed by numerical values and characters. It is only displayed on the device.
Therefore, there is no means for visually confirming the actual operation of the monitored object, and all information is left to information obtained by numerical values and characters.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional telemeter system, for example, when the monitoring information is erroneously input at the telemeter master station, control is performed so that the telemeter master station monitors the monitored object with respect to the telemeter slave station. As a result, if it is found that the monitored object has failed, the operator must confirm whether the monitoring information has been incorrectly input and whether the monitored object has failed. There is a drawback that the only option is to go to the telemeter slave station equipment side and visually check.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a remote-controllable CCD camera on the telemeter slave station equipment side, and to output a control signal for monitoring the monitored object from the telemeter master station to the telemeter slave station. In this case, the image obtained by capturing the object to be monitored by the CCD camera is transmitted to the central monitoring station (master station of the telemeter). On the side)
An object of the present invention is to enable the state of a monitored object to be visually confirmed.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided a CCD camera for capturing an image of an object to be monitored.
A CCD camera control unit connected to the CCD camera and the telemeter slave station for directing the CCD camera in a direction set in accordance with the output information from the telemeter slave station (the direction in which the monitored object exists); The transmitted image can be transmitted to a central monitoring station (master station of telemeter).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A telemeter system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

[0007] Reference numeral 11 denotes a CCD camera having a remote operation function, which is operated by control information from a camera control unit 12.

For example, when monitoring the monitored object 14, first, the operation terminal 22 of the central monitoring station equipment 20 is operated. This operation causes the telemeter master station 25 to transmit a control signal to the telemeter slave station 13. Upon receiving the control signal, the telemeter slave station 13 outputs a control signal to the monitored object 14 and outputs the control signal to the camera control unit 12.
To output a control signal. Upon receiving the control signal, the camera control unit 12 moves the CCD camera 1 in the set direction.
1 is directed, and the projected image is transmitted to the central monitoring station (telemeter master station 25). The transmitted image is displayed on the image display device 21.

In addition, a control signal is output from the telemeter slave station 13 to the camera control unit 12 in response to the abnormal signal output from the monitored object 14, so that the CCD camera 11 is moved to the position where the camera control unit 12 is set. It is also possible to control so as to direct the image and transmit the captured image to the central monitoring station (the telemeter master station 25).

[0010]

According to the present invention, since the state of the monitored object 14 can be visually checked, the operator is not psychologically anxious, and the abnormal operation of the monitored object can be prevented. In this case, the operator can quickly recognize and respond quickly.
