Detailed ways

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Apparently, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments of the present invention, and it should be understood that the present invention is not limited by the exemplary embodiments described here. Based on the embodiments of the present invention described in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides an error handling method for automation equipment. Fig. 1 shows a schematic flowchart of an error handling method 100 for an automation device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , the error handling method 100 may include the following steps.

Step S110, judging the type of error occurred in the automation equipment, and determining the corresponding target error code according to the first configuration file in the automation equipment.

By way of example, the automation device can automatically recognize the type of error currently occurring in the event of an error occurring therein. For example, types of errors may include device-level errors, process-level errors, consumable errors, and the like. It is assumed that the automation device learns that the type of the currently occurring error belongs to the device-level error through judgment. Then, the target error code A corresponding to the device-level error can be determined according to the first configuration file stored in the automation device. It can be understood that based on the first configuration file, the target error code uniquely corresponding to the error type can be determined. Wherein, the first configuration file can be configured according to actual needs or experience, and stored in the storage device of the automation equipment in advance.

Step S120, sending the target error code to the control system, so that the control system determines and sends a corresponding error handling operation instruction to the automation device based on the first error code in the target error code.

According to the above step S110, the automation device can determine the target error code corresponding to the type of the error that occurs. Thereafter, the determined target error code can be sent to the control system. Wherein, the target error code may include the first error code. Based on the first error code, the control system can determine and send a corresponding error handling operation instruction to the automation device. Optionally, the error handling operation instruction may be determined by the control system based on the first error code and automatically issued to the automation device. Alternatively, the error handling operation instruction may also be input by the user through the input device. Specifically, the control system can determine multiple corresponding error handling operations based on the first error code, and at the same time, the control system can also provide a user with a visual interface on which multiple corresponding error handling operations can be displayed. The user can select the error handling operation expected to be performed by the automation device on the visual interface through the input device. In response to the user's selection operation, the control system can send corresponding error handling operation instructions to the automation equipment.

Step S130, receiving an error handling operation instruction from the control system, and executing a corresponding error handling operation based on the error handling operation instruction.

Exemplarily, based on wireless or wired communication, after the control system sends an error handling operation instruction to the automation equipment, the automation equipment can correspondingly receive the error handling operation instruction from the control system, and perform error processing according to the corresponding operation logic in the operation instruction. Processing operations. For example, the operation currently performed by the automation equipment is a pipetting operation, that is, an error occurs in the pipetting operation. The error handling operation instruction received by the automation device may be a "termination operation instruction". Correspondingly, based on the "termination operation instruction", the automation device performs a corresponding error handling operation, that is, terminates the pipetting operation.

In the above technical solution, the automation device can judge the type of the error according to the occurrence of the error, and determine the error code corresponding to the error according to the first configuration file stored by itself. Afterwards, the error code is sent to the control system, and the corresponding error handling operation instruction can be obtained through the control system. Based on the error handling operation instruction, the automation device can perform a corresponding error handling operation. Therefore, the automation device can perform different error handling operations according to different errors that occur. At the same time, errors in the automation equipment can be dealt with in a more accurate and targeted manner. The subsequent availability of automation equipment is guaranteed.

Exemplarily, the first configuration file may include: error type information, target error codes, and correspondence between error type information and target error codes.

For example, error type information may include device-level errors, process-level errors, and the like. The target error codes may include target error code A, target error code B, and the like. The first configuration file may also include a correspondence between error type information and target error codes. It is assumed that the corresponding relationship is that the device-level error corresponds to the target error code A, and the process-level error corresponds to the target error code B. Thus, after the automation device determines the type of the currently occurring error, such as a device-level error, the target error code A corresponding to the device-level error can be found in the first configuration file.

This can ensure that the automation equipment can accurately and efficiently send the target error code to the control system. Based on the accurate target error code, the control system can send accurate and reliable error handling instructions to the automation equipment, so that the automation equipment can be more targeted. Handle its errors.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, a control method for a control system is also provided. Exemplarily, the control system may include a server and a terminal. The control system may pre-store a second configuration file, and correspondingly, the second configuration file may include a terminal configuration file and a server configuration file. Wherein, the server stores a server configuration file, and the terminal stores a terminal configuration file. Exemplarily, the server configuration file may include the target error type, the target error code corresponding to the target error type, the identifier of the error handling operation corresponding to the target error code, and the operation logic of the error handling operation, that is, each The target error code corresponds to a type of error, and for each error code, it is configured with multiple response operation identifiers and corresponding operation logic; the terminal configuration file can include target error code, error message, error handling operation and error handling The identifier corresponding to the operation, that is to say, for different errors, there are corresponding error codes, error message information, and multiple optional coping actions that need to be taken, wherein each coping action has a corresponding identifier. Wherein, the second configuration file can be configured according to actual needs or experience, and stored in the control system in advance.

It can be understood that the server end and the terminal may refer to the front end and the back end of the upper computer, for example. Wherein, the terminal may refer to, for example, the front end of the host computer, and the server may refer to, for example, the back end of the host computer. Specifically, the terminal, as the front end of the host computer, can provide the user with a visual interface for the user to perform human-computer interaction.

Fig. 2 shows a schematic flowchart of a control method 200 for a control system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2 , the control method 200 may include the following steps.

Step S210, receiving the target error code from the automation equipment.

Exemplarily, based on wireless or wired communication, the server of the control system may receive the target error code sent by the automation equipment, and then the server sends the target error code to the terminal of the control system.

Step S220, based on the first error code in the target error code and the second configuration file in the control system, determine and send an error handling operation instruction to the automation device.

In an embodiment, after receiving the target error code, the control system may determine one or more error handling operations for processing the error corresponding to the first error code in the target error code according to the second configuration file. The control system can select a corresponding error handling operation among these error handling operations according to preset data, etc., and send the error handling operation instruction corresponding to the error handling operation to the automation device. The error handling operation instruction is generated according to the operation logic in the server configuration file in the second configuration file; optionally, the control system can provide a visual interface to the user, and display these error handling operations on the visual interface. Based on this visual interface, the user can select the error handling operations that the automation equipment is expected to perform. In response to the user's selection operation, the control system can send corresponding error handling operation instructions to the automation equipment.

In the above technical solution, the control system can determine and send an error processing operation instruction to the automation equipment based on the first error code in the target error code sent by the automation equipment and the second configuration file in the control system. Therefore, when the automation equipment performs an operation and an error occurs, an error handling operation instruction can be automatically sent to the automation equipment, which can greatly save the user's time and reduce the possibility of error handling operation errors. In addition, the user can also determine the error handling operation command and send it to the automation equipment according to the actual situation and needs, so as to meet the needs of different users, so that the user can reasonably handle the errors according to the actual situation, and improve the control system. Generalizability and applicability.

Fig. 3 shows a schematic block diagram of determining and sending an error handling operation instruction to the automation device based on the first error code in the target error code and the second configuration file in step S220 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 3, step S220 may include the following steps.

Step S221, based on the first error code and the second configuration file, determine first configuration information corresponding to the first error code.

Exemplarily, based on the first error code and the terminal configuration file in the second configuration file, the terminal of the control system may determine the first configuration information corresponding to the first error code. For example, the first configuration information may include: form information of the pop-up window and prompt text information in the first operable control displayed in the pop-up window. Specifically, the prompt text information may include any one or more of: re-executing the current operation, terminating the current operation, and ignoring the current operation. Afterwards, the prompt text information may be displayed in the form of a pop-up window. It can be understood that the "pop-up window" operation is automatically performed by the control system and does not require a user's trigger operation. Thus, the prompt text information is displayed in the form of a pop-up window, which is convenient for the user to view and is not easy to be ignored, and improves the efficiency of error handling. Assume that the current error operation of the automation equipment is the washing operation. The plate washing operation can include three atomic operations of sample plate transfer in, plate wash, and sample plate transfer out. If an error occurs during the execution of the plate washing operation, correspondingly, the following prompt text information can be displayed in the pop-up window: re-execute the current operation, terminate the current operation, or ignore the current operation. Assume that the current erroneous operation of the automation equipment is the handling operation of the robotic arm. Since the position of the robotic arm is not at the initial position after an error in the handling operation of the robotic arm, re-executing the current operation may result in a trajectory error, resulting in accidents such as collisions. Moreover, ignoring the current operation has no practical significance, so the prompt text information in the first configuration information in this embodiment may only include terminating the current operation.

Step S222, based on the first configuration information, output optional processing operation information to the user, wherein the optional processing operation information is used for the user to select an error processing operation.

Exemplarily, the control system may provide a visual interface to the user, and use the visual interface to display to the user optional processing operation information corresponding to an error occurred in the automation equipment. The user can use the input device to select the error handling operation desired to be performed by the automation device in the optional processing operation information. Alternatively, the control system may also include a voice broadcast and listening device, and the optional processing operation information may be broadcast to the user by using the voice broadcast and listening device. Afterwards, the user can use voice input to select the error handling operation that the automation device is expected to perform in the optional processing operation information.

Step S223, in response to the user's operation, determine the identifier of the error handling operation selected by the user.

Exemplarily, each error handling operation corresponds to its own identifier, that is, there is a one-to-one correspondence between error handling operations and identifiers. For example, the identifier corresponding to the error handling operation of "retry" may be a, the identifier corresponding to the error handling operation of "terminate" may be b, and so on. Assuming that the error handling operation selected by the user in the above step S222 is terminate, the terminal of the control system may determine that the identifier of the error handling operation selected by the user is b.

Step S224, based on the second configuration file, search for an error handling operation instruction corresponding to the identifier of the error handling operation, and send the error handling operation instruction to the automation device.

Exemplarily, the server may search for an error handling operation instruction corresponding to the identifier of the error handling operation determined in step S223, for example, the identifier b, according to the server configuration file in the second configuration file. Finding the corresponding error handling operation instruction according to the second configuration file is terminating the current operation instruction. At this point, the server may send the instruction to terminate the current operation to the automation device, so that the automation device executes the instruction to terminate the current operation.

In the above technical solution, based on the user's selection operation, the corresponding error handling operation instruction can be determined and sent to the automation device. Thus, users can customize the error handling operation according to their own needs, which meets the needs of different users. At the same time, based on the above technical solution, the accuracy of the error handling operation instructions sent to the automation equipment can be guaranteed, ensuring that the automation equipment can accurately process errors that occur. Moreover, the above solution is simple for users to operate and easy to implement.

Exemplarily, the control method 200 may further include: displaying a first user interface. Step S222, based on the first configuration information, outputting optional processing operation information to the user may include: popping a window on the first user interface based on the first configuration information, and displaying the first operable control in the pop-up window, the first operable control Used for user-selected error handling actions.

In one embodiment, the control system may further include a display, on which the first user interface may be displayed. The first user interface may include a pop-up window. Specifically, the first operable control may be displayed in the pop-up window. The first operable control may include the prompt text information such as re-executing the current operation, terminating the current operation, and ignoring the current operation. It can be understood that the prompt text information and the user-selectable processing operation information may be the same information. After the control system receives the first configuration information, it can automatically display a pop-up window in the first user interface. The pop-up window may include a first operable control. The user may click the first operable control with a mouse to select a corresponding error handling operation. For example, the user may click the mouse to re-execute the current operation, indicating that the user expects the automation device to re-execute the current operation, that is, send an instruction to the automation device to re-execute the current operation.

In the above technical solution, the user can select the error handling operation in a visual form, which improves the interaction between man and machine, and facilitates the user to clearly and specifically select the error handling operation, ensuring the accuracy of the error handling operation instructions sent to the automation equipment. Accuracy, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of error handling results.

Exemplarily, based on the first error code and the second configuration file, determining the first configuration information corresponding to the first error code may include the following two situations.

Case 1, for the case where the type of error is a device-level error. The configuration information corresponding to the device-level error code may be determined based on the device-level error code of the device-level error and the second configuration file. The configuration information corresponding to the device-level error code may include at least one of the following prompt text information displayed in the first operable control: retry, ignore and terminate.

Specifically, an equipment-level error may refer to an equipment-related error caused by automation equipment, a control system in the automation equipment, or human error. Device-level errors may include atomic operation-level errors and instruction operation-level errors. Wherein, the atomic operation level error may refer to an error occurring in the smallest level atomic operation. Wherein, the atomic operation may include, for example, the movement of a robot arm as a transportation device, the movement of a guide rail involved in the transportation operation, the clamping operation of the gripper of the robot arm, and the like. An instruction operation may consist of one or more atomic operations. An instruction-level error can refer to an error in one or more atomic operations. Correspondingly, when the error type is a device-level error, the configuration information determined based on the device-level error code and the second configuration file may include prompt text information such as retry, ignore, and terminate. Specifically, the three optional processing operations of retrying, terminating and ignoring may be displayed on the first user interface. Wherein, in the case that the automation device is executing an operation, retry may mean that the automation device re-executes the current instruction operation or atomic operation. Termination may mean that the automation device terminates the current instruction operation or atomic operation. Ignore may indicate that the automation device ignores the current instruction operation or atomic operation and executes the next instruction operation or atomic operation. In the case that the automation device does not execute the task, retry can mean that the automation device re-executes relevant actions or restart the device, termination can mean that the automation device is offline, and ignore can mean that the automation device ignores the current error.

The second case is the case where the error type is a process-level error. The configuration information corresponding to the process-level error code may be determined based on the process-level error code of the process-level error and the second configuration file. The configuration information corresponding to the process-level error code may include at least one of the following prompt text information displayed in the first operable control: re-execute the current operation, ignore the current operation, terminate the current operation, terminate the current consumables, and terminate the current flux .

Specifically, a process-level error may refer to an error in which consumables are expired or invalidated due to the time of certain operations during the running of the automated process exceeding expectations. Process-level errors may include instruction operation-level errors, consumable-level errors, and flux-level errors. As mentioned earlier, an instruction operation may consist of one or more atomic operations. An instruction-level error can refer to an error in one or more atomic operations. A consumable-level error may refer to a device error or an error in which a consumable is expired or invalid due to a corresponding operation timeout. A flux-level error can refer to an error involving a certain flux in the entire automation process. Correspondingly, when the error type is a process-level error, the configuration information determined based on the process-level error code and the second configuration file may include re-executing the current operation, ignoring the current operation, terminating the current operation, terminating the current consumable, and terminating the current At least one prompt text message in flux. Specifically, when the error is an instruction operation level error, it may be displayed on the first user interface as three optional processing operations of re-executing the current operation, ignoring the current operation, and terminating the current operation. Wherein, re-executing the current operation may refer to re-executing the current operation of the automation device. Ignore the current operation means to ignore the current operation of the automation equipment and continue to execute the next instruction operation. Terminating the current operation may mean terminating the current operation of the automation device. When the error is a consumable-level error, it may be displayed in the first user interface that the current consumable is terminated. Terminating the current consumable may mean terminating all operations on the current consumable. Termination of the current flux may be displayed in the first user interface when the error is a flux level error. Terminating the current flux may mean terminating all operations on the current flux.

In the above technical solution, different configuration information determined based on different error codes can be displayed in the case of different types of errors. Therefore, it is convenient for the user to select the corresponding error handling operation for different errors that occur in the automation equipment more specifically, so that the error handling operation instructions sent to the automation equipment are also more targeted and more accurate, so that the automation equipment can smoothly handle the errors. Errors are handled to continue to the next operation.

Exemplarily, the control method 200 may further include: outputting error prompt information to the user based on the second error code in the target error code and the second configuration file. Wherein, the error prompt information is used to prompt the user that an error occurs.

Specifically, the error prompts may include two types, namely warning prompts and error prompts. Pre-warning prompts can remind users of potential risks during the execution of the current operation. Error prompts can prompt the user for errors that have occurred during the execution of the current operation. For example, an early-warning reminder could indicate that a consumable is marked as "expired" after the expiration time in the execution of an operation. The error prompt may indicate that the consumables have been moved to the "go to position on error" exceeding the maximum waiting time during operation execution. Specifically, the error prompt may be displayed in the form of numbers in the upper right corner of the first user interface, for example, and prompt the user. For each additional error prompt, the number can be increased by 1 and displayed in flicker to remind the user that there is an error. Optionally, after the user clicks to view the error prompt, the displayed numbers and blinking may disappear in real time. It can be understood that the severity of warning prompts is lower than that of error prompts. In this embodiment, the errors that occur can be automatically handled by the control system without requiring other operations by the user.

In the above technical solution, the control system can output an error prompt to the user based on the second error code and the second configuration file, so that the user can directly know the severity of the error occurred in the current operation and grasp the execution status of the current operation in real time. And it can also make a reasonable response according to the severity of the error.

Exemplarily, after step S222 outputs optional processing operation information to the user based on the first configuration information, the control method 200 may further include the following steps a and b.

Step a, displaying a second user interface in response to the user's operation on the first operable control. The second user interface is provided with second operable controls for the user to confirm the current or future status and/or location of the current consumable.

Exemplarily, in response to the user's click operation on the first operable control, the second user interface may also be displayed on the visual interface. Wherein, a second operable control is set on the second user interface. In one embodiment, the current or future status and location of the current consumables can be displayed in the second user interface. For example, the current location of consumable 1 in device B B01 is displayed in the second user interface, and consumable 1 has exceeded the expiration time in the device and is marked with an "expired" label. A second operable control is also set in the second user interface. The second operable control includes two controls of "Confirm" and "Cancel". The user can click the "Confirm" control to indicate that the user has confirmed the current status and location of the consumable 1 . In another embodiment, the second user interface displays the current position of the consumable 2 in A01 of the device A, and the consumable 2 has exceeded the maximum waiting time in the device, indicating that the consumable 2 has been discarded. The user can confirm the current status and location of the consumables 2 by using the "Confirm" control in the second operable control. Afterwards, a pop-up window may display the preset position for removing the consumable 2 in the second user interface, and the user may use the confirmation control in the pop-up window to confirm the position. Alternatively, the user can set the error location where the consumable 2 will be placed when the error occurs in the pop-up window.
