Was installed, and these gathered information and reported it to the outside.

[0014]

Since the conventional air conditioning system is constructed as described above, it has the following problems. Generally, an air conditioner has a dedicated communication protocol that differs depending on the manufacturer. Also,
When remotely monitoring the condition of the air conditioner at a place away from the building where the air conditioner is installed, it is necessary to use the public line 108 as an information communication path.
Modem 10 which is an interface for connecting to 08
7 has general-purpose communication means such as an RS232C interface. Therefore, in order to transmit the operation information of the air conditioner to the remote monitoring terminals 110a to 110c, a device that converts a dedicated communication protocol of the air conditioner into a general-purpose communication means, such as the facility controller 106 or the general controller 111. However, there was a problem that the equipment cost would increase because of the special requirement.

Also, RS which is a transmission medium of the modem 107
Since the 232C interface is restricted to one-to-one communication, only one facility controller 106 can be connected to the modem 107, which limits the number of connectable air conditioners. Therefore, in order to remotely monitor a system with many air conditioners, an integrated controller 111 for integrating the information of a plurality of equipment controllers 106 and connecting to the modem 107 is required, and the cost is further increased in a large-scale system. In addition, there is a problem in that there are restrictions on the design of the mounting location.

Further, when a new type air conditioner having a new function is added to the conventional system, the programs of the equipment controller 106 and the general controller 111 for relaying the signal of the new function must be changed,
In addition to the increase in cost, there is a problem that a great load is imposed on the service.

Further, remote monitoring terminals 110a-110.
It was necessary to install a program dedicated to monitoring in c. Although it is often requested to use a personal computer as the remote monitoring terminals 110a to 110c for the purpose of clerical work and the like, if the monitoring dedicated program and the clerical program are used at the same time, whether the use of them adversely affects each other. Is unknown, the remote monitoring terminals 110a to 110
There was a problem that c had to be dedicated to monitoring. Furthermore, when the air conditioner is replaced with a new product or when the operating system is upgraded, it is necessary to change the program that was used before,
In addition to the increase in cost, there is a problem that a great load is imposed on the service.

As a measure against the above problems, in order to construct a system without the general controller 111, a plurality of devices can communicate at high speed with LAN (L).
oCal Area Network), a method of installing the function of the facility controller 106 in the centralized control unit 105 of the air conditioner in order to reduce equipment installation and wiring work costs of the facility controller 106, and a remote monitoring terminal 110a. Remote monitoring terminals 110a to 11c in order to eliminate the need for installing a program dedicated to monitoring in
It is conceivable to use a general-purpose browser software for 0c to generate and transmit a screen that can be displayed by the browser in the equipment controller 106 or the overall controller 111 by using general-purpose remote monitoring software.

However, such a function is provided by the centralized control device 1
When installed in 05, the LAN is high-speed and a huge amount of information must be processed, so a high-performance microcomputer and a large-scale memory are required, and the product becomes a high-priced product. In order to sell as such a high-priced product, it is necessary to enhance the function corresponding to the price, and for this reason, the driving operation means and the display means of the centralized control device 105 can perform various inputs and displays. Thus, it is necessary to use an operation means such as a touch key liquid crystal screen whose operation contents are limited.

However, the higher functionality of the centralized control device 105 leads to a higher price as described above. If you try to display various functions on a screen with a limited area, it will be difficult to see because you need to scroll the screen. The larger the screen, the higher the price and the more restrictions on installation. Also, for general users who operate air conditioners, unnecessary functions are added, making operation difficult, and in addition to selling air conditioners that are not involved in comprehensive design, construction, management, etc. of buildings, etc. This is a product that is difficult for operators, service providers, contractors, and equipment designers to handle, and only a part of the properties are used in combination with higher prices.

In addition, the indoor unit control means 141 of the indoor units 102a to 102c is the facility device 1 arbitrarily installed on site.
43 is controlled according to a program stored in advance in the central processing means 151, so that the indoor units 102a to 102 are pre-stored.
There is a problem that it is not possible to perform control other than the facility device 143 which is supposed to be connected to c. In the case where the indoor unit control means 141 controls equipments which are not supposed to be connected in advance as the same system, dedicated control terminals of the equipments to be added must be installed for the number of equipments, and the equipment cost, There was a problem that both construction costs would increase.

Further, when remotely monitoring the operating condition of the air conditioner and the condition of the equipment, the equipment controller 1
Since 06 has compiled the operating state of the air conditioner and the state of the equipment and reported to the outside, there is a problem that the equipment controller 106 equipped with an expensive external reporting device is required.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems and does not require addition of special equipment and construction for remote monitoring, and does not require additional equipment such as a general controller in a large-scale system. Remote monitoring terminal dedicated remote monitoring program is unnecessary and can be shared with office programs, making it easy for sellers, service providers, contractors and equipment designers to handle, and costs for system construction and operation. The aim is to obtain a minimal air conditioning system.

Another object is to obtain an air conditioning system that does not require a separate remote controller and remote controller wiring.

Another object of the present invention is to obtain an air conditioning system which can remotely monitor the operating condition of the air conditioning device and the condition of the equipment at low cost.
