Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for the energy-saving operation of hazard detectors in a hazard detection system, which operates in the pulse detection system according to the principle of chain synchronization, with a control center with several two-wire primary reporting lines, to which a plurality of detectors are connected in a chain, which are routinely operated from the control center cyclically controlled and queried for their respective analog detector measured value, each detector having a voltage measuring device that monitors the line voltage applied, a downstream logic logic with an associated sensor, a downstream control device, an energy store and a switching transistor, the logic logic being formed by a microcomputer.
  • Such a hazard detection system is known from DE-PS 25 33 382.
  • the individual detectors are connected in a chain to the detection line.
  • the measured values of the individual detectors are queried cyclically from the control center and sent to the central evaluation device in order to obtain differentiated fault or alarm messages from the analog values to be linked.
  • all detectors are separated from the detection line by a voltage change and then switched on again in a predetermined order in such a way that each detector, after a time delay corresponding to its measured value, by means of a switching transistor arranged in one of the wires of the detection line, additionally the following detectors turns on.
  • the respective detector address is derived from the number of previous increases in the line current and the analog measured value from the length of the relevant switching delays.
  • the detectors are operated from their energy storage during this time. After the query, the energy stores are recharged during the so-called rest period with increased line voltage.
  • Control commands can also be transmitted from the control center to the individual detectors, which are received by the individual detectors, as is already known from DE-PS 25 33 354.
  • the data received and reported by the individual detectors can also be transmitted in the form of pulse telegrams within certain time windows.
  • the object of the invention is to provide, while avoiding the disadvantages described above, a method for the energy-saving operation of hazard detectors of a hazard detection system, which allows a relatively simple and reliable switching on and off of a microcomputer.
  • This object is achieved with a method described in the introduction in that the microcomputer is switched into an energy-saving idle state and switched on again as a function of certain switching criteria that are specific to the hazard alarm system, with a required start-up time being guaranteed for the microcomputer.
  • the special feature of the method according to the invention is that no additional and complex criteria have to be created specifically. Rather, switching criteria are used for switching the microcomputer on and off in the respective detector, which are specific to a hazard alarm system and already exist, i.e. which are used and designed in a special way for this.
  • the microcomputer is used as a function of a specific line voltage (a switch-off voltage) switched to the power-saving idle state and switched on again with the application of another predetermined line voltage, a switch-on voltage, so that the detector is activated after a certain start-up time.
  • a specific line voltage a switch-off voltage
  • the cut-off voltage is expediently formed from the idle voltage which is present anyway and the cut-off voltage from the start voltage likewise required for the cyclical interrogation, which is generally zero and thus switches off all detectors in a line.
  • the microcomputer switches itself into the idle state when the detector in question switches through to the next detector via its switching transistor.
  • a multiplicity of detectors M1 to Mn are connected to a control center here, for example, only on one reporting primary line ML.
  • the line current IL flows on the signaling line and the line voltage UL is present, which can be switched to different values.
  • the detector M shown in FIG. 2 has, in addition to the switching transistor T switched on in the one wire of the detection line ML the logic logic, which is the heart of the detector and is formed by a microcomputer.
  • the logic logic serves the actual sensor part.
  • the logic logic VL is acted upon by the voltage measuring device, which monitors the line voltage and gives switching functions to the logic logic VL in accordance with the line voltage applied.
  • This logic logic causes signals to a control device ST and also signals to turn on the switching transistor T so that the following detector is connected to the line voltage. It is also indicated by a capacitor C in the detector of the energy store, which is charged when a voltage is applied in the idle state and supplies the detector with energy when required in the disconnected state.
  • Fig. 3 shows how the individual detectors are switched on in sequence.
  • the line voltage UL is plotted against the time t for the detectors M1 to M3.
  • the rest voltage UR is present on the detection line ML.
  • An interrogation cycle then begins by separating the line from the line voltage, i.e. the starting voltage US, which is generally zero, is applied for the starting time ts. After the start time TS has elapsed, the actual query of the entire detection line for the time tla begins.
  • the interrogation voltage UA is generally below the value of the quiescent voltage UR. It is shown for the detector M2 that it only receives the interrogation voltage UA after the DS of the first detector M1 has been switched through. The same applies to detector M3.
  • the data transmission to the detector generally takes place by modulating the line voltage UL in the control center, while data transmission to the control center is carried out by modulating the line current IL in the detector.
  • the microcomputer switches itself into the energy-saving idle state when it receives the signal from the voltage measuring device MU that the control center Z has applied the open circuit voltage UR (is the cutoff voltage UAB).
  • the open circuit voltage UR is the cutoff voltage UAB.
  • All the microcomputers (U) are switched off and have only a minimal power consumption in the time tr in which the quiescent voltage UR is applied.
  • All the microcomputers are inactive and can neither operate the sensor section S nor accept or process control commands or send requests from the control center. This is also not necessary in the transmission system based on the principle of chain synchronization.
  • the microcomputers (VL) in all detectors (Mn) are only reactivated when the starting voltage US is applied (is equal to the switch-on voltage UAN), operate the sensor part S and are at the different times for the transmission of the query voltage UA for the individual detectors from and to the headquarters.
  • the start time ts corresponds to the start-up time tan for the microcomputer, ie a sufficiently long settling time is available.
  • the microcomputer only needs significant energy during the short time, which is composed of the start time ts and the line query time tla.
  • the microcomputer switches itself into the energy-saving idle state when it switches through to the next detector via its assigned switching transistor T in the detection line ML (DS).
  • T in the detection line ML ML
  • the time in which the microcomputers are switched off and have minimal power consumption is further extended.
  • the first detector in the line is then in the power-saving state for almost the entire line inquiry time Tla, so that on average all detectors, the microcomputers for half the line inquiry time tla, are active and require energy, which means that the corresponding energy requirement of a signaling primary line continues, to almost half, is reduced.
  • the microcomputers are only active for a few percent of the total time and therefore use little energy.
  • This method according to the invention advantageously does not require any circuit extensions worth mentioning compared to the known method of pulse signaling technology.
  • the improved performance characteristics are achieved in that the microcomputer in the individual detectors is equipped accordingly, e.g. B. by expanding the control program (firmware).
