Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a fault processing which is previously set from being executed on a non-connection terminal unit, to eliminate the need of the setting of sound and printing stop and to improve the efficiency of a system by setting a mode where the fault processing is prevented from being executed on the non-connection terminal unit. SOLUTION: In a fire receiver, a mode (present adjustment mode (mode during site adjustment, for example)) where a fault processing is not executed on a terminal unit which is not connected can be set when the non-connection terminal unit actually exists even if data is set in a storage means. Namely, the present adjustment mode can be set by operating a 'present adjustment mode' switch or a key in menu guidance 200 when the present adjustment mode is not set. In such a case, effect that the present adjustment mode is set can be displayed on a display device. The present adjustment mode can be set only by the simple operation of the single switch or the key.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a fire receiver.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been known a fire receiver which sequentially calls terminal devices by polling, collects predetermined information, and performs predetermined control.

[0003]

By the way, on the data in the fire receiver, for example, although 200 terminal devices are set, for example, 100 terminal devices actually attached are set. In the case of, for example, during the on-site adjustment work, if the receiver polls this unconnected terminal device, there is no response, so that a failure process such as a no-response process is performed on this terminal device. That is, during this on-site adjustment work, the failure sound is of the re-ringing method, so the sound device sounds every time it is restored,
In addition, printing is performed on the printer. In order to prevent this, conventionally, a mask has been applied to an unconnected terminal by a failure batch mask or terminal mask function. However, in the case of the failure collective mask, failure processing is performed again due to a newly generated failure or a recovery operation, and the terminal mask function requires setting and release of a mask for each terminal, which is not efficient.

The present invention provides a function for preventing a failure process such as a no-response process that occurs when there is an unconnected terminal device or when a terminal device is temporarily removed without impairing efficiency. It is intended to provide a fire receiver that can be realized.

[0005]

According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a fire receiver for calling a terminal device and receiving information from the terminal device. Has storage means that is set as data, and if there is an actually unconnected terminal device even if it is set as data in the storage unit, a failure process is performed on this unconnected terminal device. A mode in which no operation is performed can be set by operating a single switch or key.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided the fire receiver according to the first aspect, further comprising a predetermined indicator light and / or a display device, and performing a failure process on an unconnected terminal device. If the mode is not set, a predetermined indicator light is turned on or blinked, and / or the mode is set so that the failure processing is not performed on the unconnected terminal equipment. The information is displayed on a display device.

[0007] Further, the invention according to claim 3 is characterized in that, in the fire receiver according to claim 1, even if a mode is set such that a failure process is not performed on an unconnected terminal device. When the type of the terminal device actually connected to the fire receiver is different from the type on the data of the terminal device stored in the storage means, a failure process is performed.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the fire receiver according to any one of the first to third aspects, further comprising an unconnected terminal device or a faulty terminal device. It is characterized by having means for displaying and / or printing the list.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the fire receiver according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, all the terminal devices of the data stored in the storage means are connected, and When the type of the terminal device actually connected to the fire receiver matches the type on the data of the terminal device stored in the storage unit, the mode setting is released, and the predetermined indicator light is turned on or off.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a fire receiver according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, a fire receiver 1 includes a CPU 2 for controlling the whole, a ROM 3 storing a control program of the CPU 2, and the like, a RAM 4,
It has a display / operation unit 5, a main sound unit 6, a printing unit 7, and a transmission control unit 8 for performing transmission control between terminal devices connected to the fire receiver 1 via the transmission path 9. are doing.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of analog sensors A ₁ and A ₂ and a repeater C are actually connected to the transmission line 9 as terminal equipment. Smoke exhaust equipment B
And sensor A ₄ are connected. In FIG. 1,
Analog sensor A ₃ shown in dashed lines is in a state not connected.

In the fire receiver 1 of FIG. 1, for example, the RAM 4 has a function as a storage unit in which terminal equipment connected to the fire receiver 1 is set as data.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of data relating to the terminal equipment set in the fire receiver 1. In the example of FIG.
Is set for all terminal devices connected to the. That is, not only the data of the actually connected terminal devices A ₁ , A ₂ and C, but also the unconnected terminal devices A
The data of ₃ is also set. Note that, in the case of the type in which the fire receiver 1 sequentially calls each terminal device by address polling and receives information from the terminal device, the data relating to the terminal device includes an address set for each terminal device and each terminal device. It consists of the type of device.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a portion relating to the display of the display / operation unit 5 of the fire receiver 1 of FIG. In the example of FIG. 3, a display device (for example, L
A CD) 21 and an indicator light (for example, a failure mask light) 22 are provided. The part related to the operation of the display / operation unit 5 can be realized on the display screen (operation screen) of the display device 21.

FIG. 4 is a view showing a display example (menu guidance) of an operation screen on the display / operation unit 5 of the fire receiver 1 of FIG. 1. In this fire receiver 1, data is set in storage means. Even if there is actually a terminal device that is not connected, a mode in which failure processing is not performed on the terminal device that is not connected (local mode (for example, a mode during site adjustment work)) Can be set. In other words, when the current mode is not set,
By pointing (operating) a “current key mode” switch or key in the menu guidance of FIG. 4, the current key mode can be set. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a display example of the operation screen (current mode guidance) when the current mode is set in the menu guidance of FIG.

In the present invention, when a mode in which no failure processing is performed on an unconnected terminal device (local mode) is set, the local mode is set as shown in FIG. Can be displayed on the display device 21. FIG.
In addition to displaying the fact that the current key mode is set on the display device 21 as in the example of
By turning on or blinking the display lamp 22, it is also possible to display that the current mode is set.

As described above, according to the present invention, the current control mode can be set only by extremely simple operation of a single switch or key. When the current control mode is set, the fire receiver 1 stores the current control mode in the storage means. When all of the stored terminal devices are sequentially polled and called, even if there is an unconnected terminal device, a failure process (abnormal process) can be prevented from being performed on the terminal device. That is, it is possible to prevent failure processing such as non-response processing that occurs when there is an unconnected terminal device or when the terminal device is temporarily removed. At this time, the manager, the maintenance worker, and the like change the current key mode by indicating that the indicator lamp 22 is lit or blinking and / or that the display device 21 indicates that the current key mode is being performed. It can be easily and surely known that the setting has been made.

[0018] Even if a mode in which failure processing is not performed on an unconnected terminal device (current tuning mode) is set, the terminal device actually connected to the fire receiver is set. If the type is different from the type on the data of the terminal device stored in the storage means, a failure process is performed. For example, if the data as shown in FIG. 2 is set in the storage means, the terminal equipment is actually connected, for example, when A ₁ is a gas leak detector rather than a fire detector performs failure processing.

Further, all the terminal devices of the data stored in the storage unit are connected, and the type of the terminal device actually connected to the fire receiver 1 is stored in the storage unit. When it matches the data type,
The lighting or blinking of the display lamp 22 can be stopped, and the display indicating that the current adjustment mode is being performed on the display device 21 can be stopped.

When the current mode is set, the current mode can be released by pointing (operating) the "cancel" switch or the "failure processing setting" switch in FIG. 5, for example. Also in this case, the lighting or blinking of the display lamp 22 can be stopped, and the display on the display device 21 indicating that the current mode is being performed can be stopped.

Further, the fire receiver of FIG. 1 may further include means for displaying and / or printing a list for confirming an unconnected terminal device or a faulty terminal device. That is, for example, by pointing (operating) the “list display” switch and the “list print” switch on the operation screen indicating that the current mode is in FIG. 5, an unconnected terminal device or a faulty terminal device can be identified. A list for confirmation can be displayed and / or printed.

Next, a specific processing operation example of the fire receiver 1 of FIG. 1 will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the current mode setting process. Referring to FIG. 6, when the "current mode" switch or key is operated on the menu guidance screen of FIG. 4 (step S1), the current mode setting is performed (step S2), and selection of a fault for which no processing is performed is performed. Is performed by the user (step S3). That is, for example, the user is made to select whether to perform no-response processing, not to output a parity error, not to perform disconnection failure processing, or not to perform inoperative failure processing. After the selection of the failure for which such processing is not performed, the current mode guidance of FIG. 5 is displayed on the display device 21 (step S4). In addition to or instead of this display, the display lamp 22 can be turned on or blinked to notify the user that the current mode is being performed.

Next, for example, in the current mode guidance of FIG. 5, it is determined whether the "cancel" switch or the "failure processing setting" switch has been operated (step S).
5) When any of these is operated, the setting of the current key mode is released (step S6). And FIG.
Returns to the menu guidance, and turns off the indicator lamp 22 (step S7).

FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing a process when there is no response (no response) from the terminal device when the fire receiver 1 polls a terminal device. Referring to FIG. 7, when the fire receiver 1 polls a terminal device, if there is no response from the terminal device (when there is no response) (step S11), it is determined whether the current mode is currently set. (Step S1)
2) When the current mode is not set, normal failure processing is performed (step S13). That is, the main sound unit 6 is sounded, and information about the terminal device that does not respond is printed on the printing unit 7. In contrast, step S1
When the current mode is set in 2, the failure processing is not performed.

FIG. 8 shows an on-site adjustment operation (for example,
11 is a flowchart illustrating a process when a new terminal device is connected). Referring to FIG. 8, when a new terminal device is connected (step S21), it is determined whether or not the current mode is set (step S22). If the current mode is not set, the normal mode is set. The process is performed (step S23). In contrast, step S2
If it is determined in step 2 that the current mode is set, the type of the connected terminal device is checked (it is determined whether the type is normal) (step S24). Processing is performed (step S25). On the other hand, when the type of the connected terminal device is normal in step S24, it is further determined whether or not the system is normal (step S26). As a result, when the system is normal, the display of the current mode guidance of FIG. 5 on the display device 21 is returned to the display of the menu guidance of FIG. 4, and the display lamp 22 is turned off (step S27).
On the other hand, if the system is not normal in step S26, the current mode guidance of FIG. 5 is kept displayed on the display device 21 and / or the indicator lamp 22 is kept on or blinking ( Step S28).

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a process when a terminal device (for example, a sensor) linked to the smoke prevention device is not connected. Referring to FIG. 9, first, it is determined whether or not the receiver 1 is set to the local mode (step S31).
It is determined whether or not to perform the inoperative failure processing (for example, the operator is made to previously select whether or not to perform the inoperative failure processing) (step S32). As a result, when performing the inoperative failure processing, the failure processing (normal failure processing) is performed (step S33), and when not performing the inoperative failure processing, the failure processing is not performed. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 1, the smoke prevention device B is set in the repeater C. This Bohai smoke device B is to interlock originally a sensor A _3, since the sensor A ₃ unconnected, conventionally, performs the inoperative failure processing to perform the operation test, in the present invention, When the current key mode is set, it is determined whether or not to perform the deactivation process based on, for example, a setting previously selected by the operator.
Does not perform failure processing.

As described above, according to the present invention, in a fire receiver that calls a terminal device by polling and receives information from the terminal device, even if it is set on data, it is not actually connected to the terminal device. In this case, a mode (current mode) that can be set so as not to perform a failure process on the unconnected terminal device can be set.

In other words, for example, if the number of connected terminals is set to 200 in the data and the number of actually connected terminals is 100, conventionally, the remaining 100 terminals are subjected to non-response processing. I will. In this case, when the “current mode” is set, the system can operate normally even in the current terminal connection state without performing a failure process. In this case, the indicator light 22 such as a failure mask light is turned on or blinks, and / or a display indicating that the current mode is set is displayed on the display device (LCD) 21 of the fire receiver 1, and the system is operated. It is becoming clear that it is not perfect.
However, if the type is different from the data, a failure process is performed. In addition, when confirming the interlocking of smoke prevention,
If the inoperative failure processing is not performed, the operation test of the currently connected terminal can be performed without worrying about the unconnected failure. In the local mode, detailed settings can be made. For example, it is possible to select, for example, not to perform no-response processing or not to perform non-operation failure processing.

When a new terminal device is connected during the current tuning mode, transmission starts automatically. Even in this case, the type on the data and the type of the terminal device are different. If it is found, a failure process is performed.

Further, the failure state can be identified by displaying the list or printing the unconnected sensor or the failure sensor. When the construction work is performed in this mode and the data matches the connection terminal, the terminal mask light is turned off. In addition, the connection status of the terminal can be confirmed on an LCD screen or the like. For example, if 200 terminals are set on the data and only 100 terminals are actually connected,
“100/200” and “50%” can be displayed.

Conventionally, in order to solve the problem that the failure sound is re-ringed during the on-site adjustment work, the sound device sounds and the failure is printed on the printer every time it is restored. Although the failure batch mask and the terminal mask function are provided, the failure batch mask performs a failure process again due to a newly generated failure or a recovery operation. Further, in the terminal mask, it is necessary to individually set or cancel the mask, which is not efficient, and it cannot be determined that the types are different.

On the other hand, according to the present invention, the current mode function can be set, and when the current mode is set, a failure process for a known failure is not performed. Work can be performed efficiently without performing sound or printer stop processing. Since the processing of other events is performed as it is, the recording at the time of the current tuning can be confirmed without being disturbed by the recording of the failure. In addition, whether or not the connection terminal is completely installed can be easily confirmed by an indicator light such as a failure mask light. By being able to display the equipment status, it is possible to easily confirm how far the current work is progressing. In addition, during the interlock test of smoke emission control, the interlock test can be performed without displaying a failure even if no operation signal is returned from the terminal.

In the above-described example, the setting of the current key mode is performed according to FIG.
Can be performed on the display screen of the fire receiver 1 as shown in the figure, but it is set in the fire receiver 1 by input from an external device (operation device) of the fire receiver 1. You can also.

In the above example, the indicator lamp 22 such as a failure mask lamp is turned on or blinked when the current mode is set. Instead, a dedicated indicator lamp is separately provided. And the dedicated indicator lamp may be turned on or blinked.

[0035]

As described above, according to the first to fifth aspects of the present invention, in a fire receiver for calling a terminal device and receiving information from the terminal device, the fire receiver includes a terminal. The device has a storage unit that is set as data, and even if the storage unit is set as data, if there is an actually unconnected terminal device, a failure process is performed on the unconnected terminal device. Is set by operating a single switch or key, so that there is no response processing that occurs when there is an unconnected terminal device or when the terminal device is temporarily removed. A function for preventing troublesome processing from being performed can be realized without impairing efficiency. In other words, since a mode that can be set so that no failure processing is performed on the unconnected terminal device (current tuning mode) can be set, sound and print stop settings are performed without performing the preset failure processing. This eliminates the need and increases the efficiency of the system.

[0036] In particular, according to the second aspect of the present invention, the fire receiver according to the first aspect further includes a predetermined indicator light and / or a display device, and performs failure processing for an unconnected terminal device. If the mode is set so as not to perform the operation, a predetermined indicator lamp is turned on or blinked, and / or the mode is set so that the failure processing is not performed on the unconnected terminal device. Since the fact is displayed on the display device, it is possible to easily grasp the operation status.

[0037] According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, in the fire receiver according to any one of the first to third aspects, an unconnected terminal device or a faulty terminal device is further confirmed. To display and / or print a list for the terminal, and it is possible to display and print the list, so to which address the terminal is not connected
(Or connected) can be easily recognized.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the fire receiver according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, all the terminal devices of the data stored in the storage means are connected. And, when the type of the terminal device actually connected to the fire receiver matches the type on the data of the terminal device stored in the storage means, the mode setting is released, and the predetermined indicator light is turned off. Stop lighting or blinking, and also stop displaying on the display device that the mode is set so that failure processing is not performed on unconnected terminal devices, all terminals are connected, and When the type on the data and the type of the terminal device coincide with each other, the current mode ends, so that it is easy to return to the normal system.
