Abstract

The method involves sampling a set of times from a point of a detector line (ML) by a newly used detector (M 8). The detector line is divided into two branches. A determination is made whether the newly inserted detector lies in any of the two branches to find an exact position of the newly inserted detector. An insulator (S 4) opens a detector (M 4) arranged in a middle of the detector line.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Position eines neu eingesetzten Geräts einer Gefahrenmeldeanlage, deren Geräte einen Isolator aufweisen und über eine Meldeleitung an eine Zentrale angeschlossen sind.The present invention relates to a method for determining the position of a newly inserted device of a hazard detection system, whose devices have an insulator and are connected via a reporting line to a control center.

Unter Geräten sind in diesem Zusammenhang insbesondere Gefahrenmelder wie Feuer oder Gasmelder zu verstehen, es kann sich aber auch um Aktoren, wie optische oder akustische Alarmgeber, Relais, Alarmanzeigen, Übermittlungsgeräte für die Weiterleitung von Alarmen oder dergleichen handeln. Wenn in der folgenden Beschreibung von Meldern die Rede ist, soll das nicht als einschränkend verstanden werden.In this context, devices are, in particular, danger detectors, such as fire or gas detectors, but they can also be actuators, such as visual or audible alarms, relays, alarm displays, transmission devices for the transmission of alarms or the like. Whenever the following description refers to detectors, this should not be construed as limiting.

Wenn auf einem in Betrieb befindlichen Leitungsnetz ein neuer Melder eingesetzt wird, muss dessen Position innerhalb der Topologie bestimmt werden. Das kann dadurch erfolgen, dass man die gesamte Topologie ermittelt, indem man einen Neustart des gesamten Netzes vornimmt, beispielsweise durch einen speziellen Befehl an alle Melder oder stromlos Schalten der Meldelinie. Die Melder werden dann sequentiell aufgestartet, wobei ihnen eine eindeutige Kommunikationsadresse zu gewiesen wird. Derartige Verfahren sind unter der Bezeichnung Kettensynchronisation oder Daisy-chain bekannt und werden schon lange verwendet. Sie dazu beispielsweise die EP-A-0 042 501.If a new detector is used on an operating line network, its position within the topology must be determined. This can be done by determining the entire topology by restarting the entire network, for example, by a special command to all detectors or de-energized switching the detection line. The detectors are then started sequentially, with a unique communication address being assigned to them. Such methods are known as chain synchronization or daisy-chain and have long been used. For example, see EP-A-0 042 501.

In der EP-A-0 485 878 ist ein Verfahren zur Ermittlung der Konfiguration von Meldern einer Gefahrenmeldeanlage beschrieben, bei welchem die Zentrale bis zur Zuordnung der Kommunikationsadresse an die Melder eine Vielzahl von Schritten durchführen muss, was relativ viel Zeit beansprucht. Die Bestimmung der Position eines neu eingesetzten Melders durch einen Neustart des gesamten Netzes ist insbesondere bei grösseren Netzen zeitaufwändig und sicher nicht effizient.In EP-A-0 485 878 a method for determining the configuration of detectors of a hazard detection system is described, in which the center must perform a variety of steps to the assignment of the communication address to the detectors, which takes a relatively long time. Determining the position of a newly installed detector by restarting the entire network is time-consuming and certainly not efficient, especially for larger networks.

In der EP-A-0 880 117 ist ein Verfahren zur automatischen Lokalisierung von Meldern beschrieben, bei welchem die Melder mit Mitteln zur Kommunikation mit benachbarten Meldern ausgerüstet sind. Zur Lokalisierung eines Melders machen alle Melder ihre Trenner auf und der zu lokalisierende Melder sendet eine entsprechende Meldung, die nur von seinen Nachbarn empfangen wird. Anschliessend werden die Trenner geschlossen und es wird bestimmt, welche Melder diese Nachbarn sind, was eine eindeutige Bestimmung der Position des zu lokalisierenden Melders ermöglicht. Dieses Verfahren ist relativ rasch, erfordert aber die Ausrüstung der Melder mit den genannten Kommunikationsmitteln.In EP-A-0 880 117 a method for the automatic localization of detectors is described in which the detectors are equipped with means for communication with adjacent detectors. To locate a detector, all detectors open their disconnectors and the detector to be located sends a corresponding message, which is only received by its neighbors. Then the disconnectors are closed and it is determined which detectors these neighbors are, which is a clear determination of the position of the to be located Detector allows. This method is relatively fast, but requires the equipment of the detectors with the said communication means.

Durch die Erfindung soll nun ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art angegeben werden, welches eine schnelle und einfache Lokalisierung neu eingesetzter Geräte ermöglicht und keine Zusatzausrüstung der Geräte erfordert.The invention will now be a method of the type mentioned above, which allows a quick and easy localization of newly used devices and requires no additional equipment of the devices.

Die gestellte Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss dadurch gelöst, dass der neu eingesetzte Geräte mehrere Male von einer Seite der Meldeleitung abgefragt wird, wobei vorgängig der Isolator eines in der Topologie bereits bekannten Geräts geöffnet und dadurch die Meldeleitung in zwei Äste unterteilt wird, und dass bestimmt wird, in welchem der Äste das neu eingesetzte Gerät liegt, und dass dieses Verfahren bis zum Auffinden der exakten Position des neu eingesetzten Geräts fortgesetzt wird.The stated object is achieved according to the invention in that the newly used device is interrogated several times from one side of the reporting line, the isolator of a device already known in topology being opened beforehand, thereby dividing the reporting line into two branches, and determining that in which of the branches is the newly inserted device, and that this process is continued until finding the exact position of the newly inserted device.

Eine erste bevorzugte Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass zuerst der Isolator eines möglichst in der Mitte der Meldeleitung angeordneten Geräts geöffnet und anschliessend anhand der Erreichbarkeit des neu eingesetzten Geräts vom gewählten Ende der Meldeleitung her bestimmt wird, ob dieser in dem Ast vor oder nach dem Gerät mit dem geöffneten Isolator liegt.A first preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention is characterized in that first the isolator of a device arranged as possible in the middle of the reporting line is opened and subsequently determined from the selected end of the reporting line based on the accessibility of the newly inserted device, whether in the branch before or after the device with the isolator open.

Eine zweite bevorzugte Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass anschliessend der soeben geöffnete Isolator geschlossen und der Isolator eines möglichst in der Mitte des das neu eingesetzte Gerät enthaltenden Astes der Meldeleitung angeordneten Geräts geöffnet und anhand der Erreichbarkeit des neu eingesetzten Geräts vom gewählten Ende der Meldeleitung her bestimmt wird, ob das neu eingesetzte Gerät vor oder nach dem Gerät mit dem geöffneten Isolator liegt.A second preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention is characterized in that subsequently the isolator just opened and the insulator of a device arranged in the middle of the branch of the reporting line containing the newly inserted device are opened, and from the selected end of the device using the newly inserted device Detector line ago determines whether the newly inserted device before or after the device with the open insulator.

Eine dritte bevorzugte Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das beschriebene Verfahren der Intervallhalbierung so oft durchgeführt wird, bis die exakte Position des neu eingesetzten Geräts gefunden ist, was bei einer insgesamt n Melder enthaltenden Gefahrenmeldeanlage nach (log 1/n) / (log ½) Schritten, aufgerundet auf die nächste natürliche Zahl, der Fall ist. Also bei 30 Meldern nach 5 und bei 100 Meldern nach 7 Schritten, von denen jeder nur in der Grössenordnung einer Sekunde dauert. Somit erfordert das Auffinden der exakten Position des neu eingesetzten Geräts nur eine kurze Zeit von wenigen Sekunden ohne jeden zusätzlichen Aufwand.A third preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention is characterized in that the method of interval halving described is carried out until the exact position of the newly inserted device is found, which corresponds to (log 1 / n) / (in the case of a total of n detectors containing danger detector. log ½) steps, rounded up to the nearest natural number, which is the case. So with 30 detectors after 5 and 100 detectors after 7 steps, each of which lasts only in the order of a second. Thus, finding the exact position of the newly inserted device requires only a short time of a few seconds without any extra effort.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels und der Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigt:

In the following the invention with reference to an embodiment and the drawings will be explained in more detail. It shows:
Fig. 1
a schematic representation of a hazard detection system in a first step of the inventive method representing state; and
Fig. 2
the danger alarm system of Fig. 1 in a second step of the inventive method representing state.

In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist eine Gefahrenmeldeanlage dargestellt, welche aus einer Zentrale Z, einer von dieser ausgehenden ringförmigen Meldelinie ML und an die Meldelinie ML angeschlossenen Meldern M1 bis M8 besteht. Der Melder M1 habe die Kommunikationsadresse 1, der Melder M2 die Kommunikationsadresse 2, und so weiter. Jeder der Melder M1 bis M8 enthält im wesentlichen mindestens einen Sensor für eine Gefahrenkenngrösse, wie beispielsweise Rauch, Temperatur oder ein Brandgas, eine Auswerteelektronik (beides nicht dargestellt) und einen Isolator S1 bis S8.FIGS. 1 and 2 show a danger alarm system which consists of a central station Z, an annular signal line ML emanating from it and detectors M 1 to M 8 connected to the signal line ML. The detector M 1 has the communication address 1, the detector M 2 the communication address 2, and so on. Each of the detectors M 1 to M 8 essentially contains at least one sensor for a hazard parameter, such as smoke, temperature or a combustion gas, evaluation electronics (both not shown) and an insulator S 1 to S 8 .

Wie schon in der Beschreibungseinleitung erwähnt wurde, ist unter Melder M nicht nur ein Gefahrenmelder zu verstehen, sondern ganz allgemein ein in eine Meldeleitung eingesetztes adressierbares Gerät. Das kann neben einem Gefahrenmelder auch ein Aktor, wie ein optischer oder akustische Alarmgeber, ein Relais, eine Alarmanzeigen, ein Übermittlungsgerät für die Weiterleitung von Alarmen oder dergleichen sein.As already mentioned in the introduction to the introduction, detector M should not only be understood as a danger detector, but more generally as an addressable device used in a message line. In addition to a danger detector, this can also be an actuator, such as an optical or acoustic alarm, a relay, an alarm display, a transmission device for the transmission of alarms or the like.

Es sei angenommen, dass der Melder M8 mit der Kommunikationsadresse 8 ein neu eingesetzter Melder sei. Der Melder M8 wird zur Bestimmung seiner Position mehre Male von einem, darstellungsgemäss vom oberen Ende der Meldelinie ML abgefragt. Dabei wird jeweils der Isolator eines in der Topologie bereits bekannten Melders vorgängig geöffnet. In einem ersten Schritt wählt man dafür einen Melder, der möglichst in der Mitte der Meldeleitung ML liegt. Gemäss Fig. 1 ist dies der Melder M4 mit dem Isolator S4. Dann wird untersucht, ob der gesuchte neu eingesetzte Melder vom gewählten Ende der Meldeleitung ML her erreichbar ist oder nicht. Dadurch erhält man die Information, ob der gesuchte Melder M8 vor oder nach dem Melder M4 mit dem geöffneten Isolator S4 liegt.It is assumed that the detector M 8 with the communication address 8 is a newly inserted detector. The detector M 8 is queried to determine its position several times by one, as shown by the upper end of the reporting line ML. In each case, the isolator of a detector already known in topology is opened in advance. In a first step, you select a detector for this, which is located as possible in the middle of the reporting line ML. According to FIG. 1, this is the detector M 4 with the insulator S 4 . It is then examined whether the newly-used detector sought can be reached from the selected end of the message line ML or not. This gives the information whether the detector M 8 sought before or after the detector M 4 with the open insulator S 4 is located.

Beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der neu eingesetzte Melder M8 wegen des geöffneten Isolators S4 vom oberen Ende der Meldelinie ML nicht erreichbar, er muss also im Ast nach dem Melder M4 liegt. Man schliesst nun den Isolator S4 des Melders M4 und setzt das Verfahren der Intervallhalbierung im Ast nach dem Melder M4 fort. Gemäss Fig. 2 wird nun der Isolator eines mittleren Melders dieses Asts, darstellungsgemäss der Isolator S6 des Melders M6 geöffnet, und man erhält die Information, dass der gesuchte Melder M8 zwischen den Meldern M4 und M6 liegt, also einer der Melder M5 oder M8 ist.In the illustrated embodiment, the newly used detector M 8 is not accessible because of the open insulator S 4 from the upper end of the signal line ML, so he must be in the branch after the detector M 4 . Now close the isolator S 4 of the detector M 4 and continues the process of halving the interval in the branch after the detector M 4 . According to FIG. 2, the insulator of a central detector of this branch, as shown, the isolator S 6 of the detector M 6 is opened, and the information is obtained that the detector M 8 is located between the detectors M 4 and M 6 , ie one of the Detector M 5 or M 8 is.

Durch Schliessen des Isolators S6 des Melders M6 und anschliessendes Öffnen des Isolators S5 des Melders M5 erfolgt schliesslich die exakte Lokalisierung des neu eingesetzten Melders M8 nach insgesamt nur drei Schritten.By closing the insulator S 6 of the detector M 6 and then opening the insulator S 5 of the detector M 5 finally the exact localization of the newly used detector M 8 takes place after a total of only three steps.

Allgemein gilt, dass bei einer insgesamt n Melder enthaltenden Gefahrenmeldeanlage für die Lokalisierung eines neu eingesetzten Melders (log 1/n) / (log ½) Schritte, aufgerundet auf die nächst natürliche Zahl, erforderlich sind, also bei 30 Meldern 5 und bei 100 Meldern 7 Schritte, von denen jeder nur in der Grössenordnung einer Sekunde dauert.In general, in the case of a total of n detectors containing hazard alarm system for the localization of a newly used detector (log 1 / n) / (log ½) steps rounded up to the next natural number, are required, ie 30 detectors 5 and 100 detectors 7 steps, each lasting only on the order of a second.

Somit erfordert das Auffinden der exakten Position des neu eingesetzten Melders nur eine kurze Zeit von wenigen Sekunden ohne jeden zusätzlichen Aufwand.Thus, finding the exact position of the newly installed detector requires only a short time of a few seconds without any additional effort.

Das erfindungsgemässe Verfahren ist nicht auf eine ringförmige Meldelinie ML der in den Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellte Art beschränkt, sondern kann auch bei so genannten Stichleitungen oder bei Verzweigungen angewendet werden. Wenn beispielsweise von der Meldelinie ML zwischen zwei Meldern eine einen neu eingesetzten Melder enthaltende Stichleitung abzweigen würde, dann könnte man mit dem beschriebenen Verfahren den Ort der Verzweigung bestimmen und dann mit dem gleichen Verfahren auf der Stichleitung die Position des neu eingesetzten Melders ermitteln.The inventive method is not limited to an annular detection line ML of the type shown in Figs. 1 and 2, but can also be applied to so-called spur lines or branches. If, for example, the signaling line ML between two detectors would branch off a stub line containing a newly inserted detector, then one could use the method described to determine the location of the branch and then determine the position of the newly inserted detector with the same method on the stub line.
