Description

Módulo infrarrojo Infrared module

OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

La presente invención se refiere a un módulo infrarrojo, cuya finalidad es la de proporcionar un dispositivo que permite el control de las funcionalidades de cualquier aparato que pueda ser controlado mediante un mando remoto a través de infrarrojos. The present invention relates to an infrared module, whose purpose is to provide a device that allows the control of the functionalities of any device that can be controlled by a remote control via infrared.

ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

En la actualidad son cada vez más los dispositivos que se pueden controlar de forma remota, a través de un mando a distancia por infrarrojos. Nowadays there are more and more devices that can be controlled remotely, through an infrared remote control.

Así pues, la necesidad de disponer de múltiples mandos a distancia hace que éstos ocupen un considerable espacio, con riesgo de pérdida de los mismos, siendo necesario un mantenimiento de cada uno de ellos, debido a la necesidad de cambiar/recargar sus baterías, lo que supone una molestia para sus usuarios. Thus, the need to have multiple remote controls makes them occupy a considerable space, with the risk of losing them, being necessary to maintain each of them, due to the need to change / recharge their batteries, That is a nuisance to its users.

Asimismo, por ejemplo a la hora de abandonar el hogar, es preciso activar y desactivar diferentes dispositivos, como puede ser el apagado del televisor, del aire acondicionado, el cierre eléctrico de las persianas o estores, la activación de la alarma, etc, siendo necesario actuar sobre los correspondientes mandos a distancia, con la consecuente pérdida de tiempo que ello supone. Likewise, for example when leaving the home, it is necessary to activate and deactivate different devices, such as turning off the TV, air conditioning, electric closing of blinds or blinds, activating the alarm, etc., being It is necessary to act on the corresponding remote controls, with the consequent loss of time involved.

Tratando de obviar esta problemática, son conocidos mandos a distancia multifunción, que si bien están diseñados para controlar varios aparatos, como puede ser un televisor y un DVD o similar, éste tipo de mandos están limitados a una serie de tipos de aparatos concretos muy específicos, y se fabrican de manera que controlan aparatos de una misma marca, los cuales trabajan en unas frecuencias concretas, no siendo válidos cuando los aparatos a controlar son de distintos fabricantes, como suele ocurrir frecuentemente, y no siendo aplicables a otros aparatos de índole muy distinta, como pueden ser circuitos de alumbrado, calefacción, aire acondicionado, alarma, etc. Trying to avoid this problem, multifunction remote controls are known, although they are designed to control several devices, such as a television and a DVD or similar, these types of controls are limited to a series of very specific types of specific devices , and are manufactured in a way that controls devices of the same brand, which work at specific frequencies, not being valid when the devices to be controlled are from different manufacturers, as is often the case, and not being applicable to other devices of a very high nature. different, such as lighting circuits, heating, air conditioning, alarm, etc.

Si bien existen circuitos domóticos para control de múltiples dispositivos, éstos no se basan en su control a través de infrarrojos, sino mediante conexión de los mismos a una red, de manera que algunos dispositivos no pueden ser incluidos en este tipo de instalaciones al no disponer de dichos medios de control a través de una red alámbrica, como puede ser el caso de un televisor, de algunos equipos de aire acondicionado sencillos, así como otros dispositivos que solo disponen como medio de control su puerto de infrarrojos. Although there are home automation circuits for the control of multiple devices, these are not based on their control through infrared, but by connecting them to a network, so that some devices cannot be included in this type of facilities because they do not have of said control means through a wired network, such as a television, some simple air conditioning equipment, as well as other devices that only have their infrared port as control means.

DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

El módulo infrarrojo que se preconiza ha sido concebido para resolver la problemática anteriormente expuesta, permitiendo a través de un único dispositivo maestro, controlar las funcionalidades de cualquier aparato que se pueda controlar mediante un mando remoto por infrarrojo a partir de un dispositivo maestro, si bien dichos dispositivos pueden ser paralelamente controlados a través de su correspondiente mando. The infrared module that is recommended has been conceived to solve the problem described above, allowing, through a single master device, to control the functionalities of any device that can be controlled by an infrared remote control from a master device, although said devices can be controlled in parallel through their corresponding command.

De forma más concreta, el dispositivo que se preconiza está constituido a partir de un módulo Modbus, con un protocolo de comunicaciones Modbus RTU, en el que se definen preferentemente tres entradas digitales libres de tensión, un puerto de conexión directa a red RS-485 para dispositivo maestro, una entrada para conectar una sonda NTC, es decir, un sensor basado en el cambio de la resistencia eléctrica en función de la temperatura, y una salida para emisor infrarrojo. More specifically, the device that is recommended is made up of a Modbus module, with a Modbus RTU communications protocol, in which three voltage-free digital inputs are preferably defined, a direct network connection port RS-485 for master device, an input to connect an NTC probe, that is, a sensor based on the change in electrical resistance as a function of temperature, and an output for infrared emitter.

Opcionalmente, dicho módulo podrá incorporar adicionalmente, puertos para conexión de otro tipo de sensores, como pueden ser sensores de presencia, de activación de alarmas, o cualquier otro tipo de sensor convencionalmente utilizado en el ámbito de la domótica. Optionally, said module may additionally incorporate ports for connection of other sensors, such as presence sensors, alarm activation, or any other type of sensor conventionally used in the field of home automation.

Así pues, a partir de una pluralidad de módulos, se formará una red, conectándose los diferentes módulos entre sí y con el módulo maestro a través de buses RS-485, de manera que a cada módulo se le asigne un dispositivo a controlar, a través de su salida a la que se conecta el emisor infrarrojo, que quedará enfrentado al receptor infrarrojo del dispositivo de que se trate. Thus, from a plurality of modules, a network will be formed, connecting the different modules with each other and with the master module via RS-485 buses, so that each module is assigned a device to control, to through its output to which the infrared emitter is connected, which will face the infrared receiver of the device in question.

La red así formada, permite controlar además de los dispositivos citados, otro tipo de dispositivos sin necesidad de módulos asociados a los mismos, que puedan controlarse directamente a través del bus RS-485, como pueden ser circuitos de control de acceso, de control de consumo, de alumbrado, etc, de manera que todos estos dispositivos, tanto los controlados por infrarrojos, como los controlados a través del bus RS-485 puedan ser controlados a través de un dispositivo maestro, como puede ser un ordenador personal, que se conecta como maestro a la red descrita a través de dicho bus RS-485. The network thus formed, allows to control in addition to the aforementioned devices, other types of devices without the need for modules associated with them, which can be controlled directly through the RS-485 bus, such as access control, control circuits consumption, lighting, etc, so that all these devices, both infrared controlled, and controlled through the RS-485 bus can be controlled through a master device, such as a personal computer, which connects as master to the network described through said RS-485 bus.

Así pues, a través del software interno del dispositivo, es posible llevar a cabo de forma sumamente rápida y sencilla el almacenamiento de los ficheros informáticos con los comandos infrarrojos (IR) en el correspondiente formato para ser aplicados directamente mediante cada módulo. Thus, through the internal software of the device, it is possible to carry out extremely quickly and easily the storage of the computer files with the infrared (IR) commands in the corresponding format to be applied directly by each module.

Cada módulo permitirá un amplio rango de tensión de alimentación, que puede ir desde los 9 a los 30V DC, si bien la tensión preferente de funcionamiento será de 24V. Each module will allow a wide range of supply voltage, which can range from 9 to 30V DC, although the preferred operating voltage will be 24V.

Adicionalmente, cabe citar que, cada módulo estará dotado, de una serie de micro-interruptores a través de los cuales es posible asignar la dirección esclavo y la velocidad de conmutación. Additionally, it should be mentioned that each module will be equipped with a series of micro-switches through which it is possible to assign the slave address and the switching speed.

Por último, es de destacar el hecho de que cada módulo podrá disponer de un indicador luminoso para señalizar los diferentes estados de operación del mismo, de manera que si el mismo se encuentra apagado, una vez conectada la alimentación, indicará que se ha detectado un error y dicho error se visualizará en el registro de error del mapa Modbus. Finally, it is noteworthy that each module may have a light indicator to signal the different operating states of the module, so that if it is turned off, once the power supply is connected, it will indicate that a error and said error will be displayed in the error log of the Modbus map.

Se consigue de esta forma proporcionar un dispositivo modular, mediante el cual formar fácilmente una red de control de múltiples dispositivos, todo ello con unas dimensiones reducidas, del orden de 50x50x20 mm y con un reducido consumo eléctrico, del orden de 0,2 W. In this way, it is possible to provide a modular device, by means of which it is easy to form a control network of multiple devices, all with reduced dimensions, of the order of 50x50x20 mm and with a reduced electrical consumption, of the order of 0.2 W.
