Definitions

  • the invention relates to an active line termination module for monitoring a line impedance of electrical systems according to the features of the first claim.
  • the active line termination module for monitoring line impedance of electrical equipment is suitable for use in monitoring fire detection lines, in particular for use in signaling sockets at the end of fire detection lines.
  • the monitoring of limit lines for wire break and short circuit has hitherto been carried out via a monitoring current, which is caused by a resistance at the end of the line to be monitored, in particular a fire detection line.
  • This monitoring current through the resistor plus the current consumption of the fire detectors on the line forms the quiescent current, which is continuously monitored by the control center. If this quiescent current drops below a certain value, the control panel recognizes this as an open circuit on the line and reports a fault.
  • Another disadvantage is that an area is present (about 50 ohms to 1,000 ohms), in which no faults are displayed, although an alarm can not be reliably evaluated.
  • EP 1 855 261 A 1 are known a method and a device for monitoring a reporting line of a fire alarm system for disturbances, the fire alarm system is acted upon in operation with a line current and having a formed by a TVS diode end member. There is a monitoring of the line current and / or the line voltage. Disturbances of the reporting line are detected by a brief increase and by a brief lowering of the line current. The evaluation takes place via the voltage level and not via the current. The evaluation is carried out by the fire alarm panel, from which also the increase and decrease of the line current done, but not by a module at the end of the fire alarm line.
  • WO 2009/087269 A1 discloses a monitoring device and a method for monitoring the operating state of supply and / or signal lines of a reporting system, in particular a fire protection and / or hazard detection system and thus also of fire detection lines.
  • the monitoring device which can also be designed as an end-of-line module, comprises a measuring device for generating a measuring signal, an evaluation device and a controllable signal source, which is designed for coupling a test signal into the supply and / or signal lines.
  • the measurement signal includes the system response of the supply and / or signal lines to the test signal.
  • the coupling of a test signal for example via a controllable constant current source or a current sink, which are controlled by a microcontroller.
  • the solution according to the invention provides for an active line termination module for monitoring a line impedance of electrical systems, in which a constant current sink with a light indicator, a voltage regulator and an intelligent electronic component are arranged between the lines to be monitored so that the intelligent electronic component is connected to the constant current sink by means of a line ,
  • the active line termination module is suitable for monitoring lines, in particular alarm lines of any kind, but in particular of monitored lines of a fire detection line.
  • the device according to the invention can be designed mechanically so that it can be plugged into a reporting socket at the end of a fire detection line as a line termination. This can be done suitably by one or more connectors.
  • the active line termination module according to the invention can also be integrated directly into the circuit of an alarm detector, in particular a fire detector, which represents an important embodiment variant, especially for systems to be newly designed.
  • a fire detector which represents an important embodiment variant, especially for systems to be newly designed.
  • existing microcontrollers can be used in the fire detector.
  • the constant current sink of the active line termination module is controlled by an intelligent electronic component which forms the quiescent current for the line to be monitored, the intelligent electronic component cyclically switching off the constant current sink for a short time or increasing the constant current and the voltage at the line to be monitored before and after the shutdown or the current increase measures. If the impedance is too high, the constant current sink is switched off or / and a signal is sent to a monitoring device.
  • the monitoring device may be the fire alarm or its alarm system.
  • the intelligent electronic module can precede the intelligent electronic module with a voltage regulator.
  • the voltage regulator can also be integrated in the intelligent module.
  • the intelligent component can represent a microcontroller or a programmable logic component.
  • the light indicator can represent a light-emitting diode in an advantageous embodiment. If the value of the measured line impedance rises above the specified value, the intelligent electronic component switches off the constant current sink and the indicator lamp goes out, so that the monitoring center registers a wire break. The extinction of the LED shows optically but also a non-interference-free operation.
  • the indicator light can also be replaced by another suitable signal generator.
  • FIG. 1 shows the block diagram of an active line termination module 1, which can be plugged with the contacts 2 on the line to be monitored.
  • the light-emitting diode 5 and the constant current sink 4 are arranged and connected to each other by lines.
  • a microcontroller 3 with voltage regulator 6 is arranged as an intelligent electronic component. From the microcontroller 3, a line 7 extends to the constant current sink 4.
  • the constant current sink 4 is controlled by the microcontroller 3 in the case of rest and forms the quiescent current for the line to be monitored.
  • the microcontroller 3 cyclically switches off the constant-current sink 4 for a short time and / or increases it Constant current for a short time and measures the voltage at the line before and after this shutdown or current increase. The difference between these two values is directly proportional to the line impedance of the line to be monitored.
  • the microcontroller 3 switches off the constant-current sink 4 and the light-emitting diode 5 goes out, so that the monitoring center registers a wire break.
  • the extinction of the LED is also the visual indication for a trouble-free operation.
  • FIG. 2 shown embodiment provides to arrange the voltage regulator 6 in front of the microcontroller 3.
  • FIG. 3 shows the active line termination module 1, which the circuits of FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 may lead from the lines 8 to the contacts 2. With these contacts 2, the active line termination module 1 to the reporting socket, such as a fire detection line, plugged so that it is continuously verifiable, the light indicator in the active line termination module indicates the trouble-free operation or a wire break.
  • the reporting socket such as a fire detection line
  • FIG. 4 an embodiment is shown, in which the active line termination module 1 is integrated into the circuit of a fire detector 9, wherein a variant is shown, in which the voltage regulator 6 is connected upstream of the microcontroller 3.
  • FIG. 5 shows a variant in which the active line termination module 1 is integrated into the circuit of the fire detector 9, wherein the voltage regulator 6 is integrated into the microcontroller 3.
  • FIG. 6 shows an embodiment in which the microcontroller 10 of the fire detector 9 are connected to a contact current sink 4 and the light emitting diode 5 and thus a fire detector with integrated line termination module is created.
  • the device represents a particular embodiment of FIG. 5 in which the microcontroller 3, 10 in fire detector 9 and line termination module 1 need not be duplicated, since the microcontroller 10 of the fire detector takes over the control of the constant current sink 4.
  • the contacts 11 of the fire detector 9 to be monitored fire detection line are not necessarily pluggable. These can also be designed as screw terminals etc.
  • the solution according to the invention can be made mechanically compatible with the conventional connection resistance, so that a retrofitting of existing systems is possible.
  • the system reliability increases due to interference when exceeding the permissible line impedance, so that in all resistance ranges faults are displayed.
  • the quiescent current of the fire detection lines is voltage-independent by the constant current sink, which increases the reliability of the evaluation of the line current through the fire alarm panel.
  • a visual display for trouble-free operation by the light indicator is provided.
