The operation content is transmitted to the terminal device assigned through the device communication means 23, and the operation of the device is changed based on the content received by the terminal device.

  10 to 14 show flowcharts when the operation means configuring means 2i configures the terminal device operation means 2h.

  In FIG. 10, first, a communication telegram is transmitted from the kitchen remote controller 2 to the heat source unit 4 (51), and it is checked whether a communication with the heat source unit is established by returning a received telegram from the heat source unit 4 (52). If communication cannot be established and communication with the heat source unit 4 cannot be established, the process proceeds to the non-connection setting (53). If communication is established and communication with the heat source unit 4 is possible, connection to the connection setting (56). move on. When proceeding to the connection setting, check whether the connection setting is made (54), and if the connection setting is made, check whether the setting is consistent with the actual connection state. In order to do this, confirmation of the setting at the time of non-connection (55) is performed and necessary processing is performed.

  In the non-connection setting (53), as shown in FIG. 11, first, the non-connection setting is displayed (53b) on the display means 2c of the kitchen remote controller 2, and the number of terminal devices to be connected next is input. (53c), a list of the number of input terminals is displayed (53d), and the type of the terminal device and information necessary for operating the terminal device are input to this list. The list is configured in the order of the number of the connector of the heat source machine, and a necessary process is selected here (53e). In order to input necessary information, first, the number of the connector to be input is selected (53g), and the processing selection screen for the device connected to the connector is displayed (53h), where the device type is selected according to the operator's selection. (53j), device ID input (53k), installation room selection (53l), icon to be displayed (53m), display position for displaying the operation means (53n), and each setting The non-connection setting information is updated (53p).

  When the input is completed for each terminal, the enter button is pressed to return to the device list display process selection (53e) (53o). In the device list process selection (53e), in addition to the above-described terminal number selection, there is a preview function for confirming how the operation means of each terminal is displayed. The terminal device operating means 2h can be displayed and confirmed (53m).

  If the correction is made by the preview, each setting is corrected again from the terminal number selection (53g), and if the correction is unnecessary, the preview is closed, and the process selection (53i) is selected to end and the non-connection setting is ended ( 53f).

  As shown in FIG. 12, the confirmation 55 at the time of non-connection performed when the connection is set at the time of connection is performed by first obtaining connection terminal information (55b) from the heat source unit, and connecting the connector 1 of the heat source unit. Designation (55c) and confirmation of mismatch (57, 55d) are performed. After proceeding to the next connector and confirming all the connectors for which the same mismatch is completed (55e), if there is no mismatch in all terminals, the process is terminated (55h), and even one mismatch is found. If (55f), the display means 2c of the kitchen remote controller 2 displays that there is a terminal that does not match as a whole, and the process is terminated.

  In the connection time setting 56, as shown in FIG. 13, first, the display means 2c of the kitchen remote controller 2 displays that it is a connection time setting (56b), communicates with the heat source unit 4 and is connected to the heat source unit 4. Terminal device connection information is acquired (56c). If there is no terminal device (56d), a message to that effect is output (56e), and the process ends. If the terminal device is connected, terminal device detailed information is obtained. The connection information of each terminal device is acquired by acquisition (56f).

  The contents of the connection information acquired here include the connector number of the heat source machine that is the connection position information, the presence / absence of terminal device connection for each number, the identification ID unique to the model or device of the terminal device, and the hot water temperature used by the terminal Information, a sign indicating whether or not a test run has been completed, and the date of connection. The contents of the connection information are shown in (Table 1).

次に、非接続時と同様に端末機器の一覧表を表示し（５６ｇ）する。ここで全体に不一致がないかを確認（５６ｈ）し一つの端末機器でも不一致があれば台所リモコン２の表示手段２ｃに表示して不一致の端末が存在することを報知する（５６ｉ）。次に表示された一覧表に端末機器の種類と端末機器を操作するために必要な情報を入力していく。一覧表は熱源機のコネクタの番号順で構成されており、ここで必要な処理を選択する（５６ｊ）。

Next, a list of terminal devices is displayed (56g) as in the case of non-connection. Here, it is confirmed whether there is a mismatch in the whole (56h). If there is a mismatch even in one terminal device, it is displayed on the display means 2c of the kitchen remote controller 2 to notify that there is a mismatched terminal (56i). Next, the terminal device type and information necessary for operating the terminal device are entered in the displayed list. The list is configured in the order of the number of the connector of the heat source machine, and a necessary process is selected here (56j).

  To input necessary information, first select the terminal number of the connector to be input (56k), display the processing screen of the device connected to the connector (56l), select the type of device (56m), and install it. The room is selected (56n), the icon to be displayed is selected (56o), the display position for displaying the operation means is selected (56p), the non-connection setting information is updated for each setting (56r), and further settings are made. A mismatch confirmation (57) for confirming whether or not there is a mismatch between the content and the connected device is performed. If there is a mismatch, a mismatch is displayed and the process selection (56l) is returned.

  When the input is completed for each terminal, the determination button is pressed to return to the mismatch determination (56h) of all terminals again, and after the determination of mismatch, the process returns to the device list display process selection (56j) (56q).

  In addition to the terminal number selection described above, the device list process selection screen (56h) has a preview function for checking how the operation means of each terminal is displayed. The means can be displayed and confirmed (56s). If the correction is made by the preview, each setting is corrected again from the terminal number selection (56k). If the correction is unnecessary, the preview is closed and the process selection (56j) is selected to end (56t). When OK is selected after confirmation (56u), non-connection setting information is reflected in the connection setting information (56v), connection setting is terminated (56w), and processing is performed when No is selected in termination confirmation (56u). Returning to the selection (56j), the display setting can be continued.

  Further, the non-connection confirmation (55) and the mismatch setting process (57) performed in the connection time setting (56) are performed for each connector of the heat source unit. As shown in FIG. 14, first, it is confirmed whether or not a terminal device is connected to a target connector by terminal connection comparison (57b), and which device is connected to which connector among a plurality of connectors of the heat source device. Match or mismatch is confirmed from the connection position information indicating. It is a determination as to whether or not a correct connector is connected among the plurality of connectors, and it is confirmed whether or not the connector connection position obtained from the information acquired from the heat source device 2 and the display setting match.

  Here, there are a case where the display setting is made in the non-connection setting and the terminal device is actually connected, and a case where the display setting is not made in the non-connection setting and the terminal device is not actually connected. Proceed to terminal connection match (57c), assuming that they match.

  On the other hand, when the terminal device is not actually connected even though the display setting is made in the connection setting, and when the terminal device is actually connected even when the display setting is not made in the non-connection setting Is regarded as a mismatch and the process proceeds to a terminal connection mismatch (57d). These are processed as terminal connection match flags. In the case of terminal connection match, the terminal connection match flag = L, and in the case of mismatch, the terminal connection match flag = H.

  Next, the process is changed depending on the presence / absence of terminal connection (57e). If there is no terminal connection, the process proceeds to determination of whether or not there is a mismatch (57m), and if terminal connection is present, the process proceeds to terminal detailed information acquisition (57f).

  In the terminal device detailed information acquisition (57f), the terminal device connection information is acquired from the heat source device in the same manner as the terminal device detailed information acquisition (56f), and a mismatch is determined based on this information. First, the terminal type comparison (57g) confirms whether there is a mismatch between the content set in the non-connection display setting and the actually connected terminal. Here, a device to be connected to the low temperature terminal connection pipe is distinguished from a device to be connected to the high temperature terminal connection pipe, and it is confirmed whether or not the connection is correct.

  When the device to be connected to the low temperature terminal connection piping is set in the non-connection setting and the terminal is actually connected, and the device to be connected to the high temperature terminal connection piping is set in the non-connection setting and actually The case where the terminal is connected is regarded as being coincident, and the process proceeds to terminal type coincidence (57c).

  On the other hand, when a device that should be connected to the low-temperature terminal connection piping is set in the non-connection setting, but a terminal device that should actually be connected to the high-temperature terminal connection piping is connected, Although the device to be connected to the pipe is set, the case where the device to be connected to the low temperature terminal connection pipe is actually connected is regarded as a mismatch, and the process proceeds to the terminal type mismatch. These are processed as terminal type match flags. When the terminal types match, the terminal type match flag = L, and when they do not match, the terminal type match flag = H.

  Next, the process proceeds to terminal ID comparison (57j), and the terminal ID set in the non-connection display setting is compared with the terminal ID of the actually connected terminal device to check whether they match. The terminal ID is stored as information unique to the device, and by comparing this, the connection partner can be recognized more accurately. If the two match, the process proceeds to terminal ID match (57k), and if not, the process proceeds to terminal ID mismatch (57l). Here, it is also processed as a terminal ID match flag. When the terminal ID matches, the terminal ID match flag = L, and when it does not match, the terminal ID match flag = H.

  When the above processing is completed, a mismatch is determined for each terminal device (57m), and when there is a mismatch, a display indicating the mismatch for each terminal device is displayed on the display means 2c of the kitchen remote controller 2.

  By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to check the display settings set when the connection is not established, and to check whether the display settings are correct. Further, since the confirmation result is displayed on the display means 2c of the kitchen remote controller 2, it is possible to visually clarify whether or not there is a mismatch. Further, since the presence / absence of mismatch in the entire display setting and the presence / absence of mismatch for each terminal are displayed, it is possible to clarify which terminal does not match when there is no mismatch as a whole and when there is a mismatch.

  Furthermore, as a mismatch, when the terminal device is not connected to the connector of the heat source unit designated as the display means, or the terminal type designated between the terminal device designated as the display means and the terminal device connected to the heat source unit is different. If the terminal ID specified in the display means is different from the terminal ID of the terminal equipment connected to the heat source device, the terminal means is connected to the designated connection position. If the terminal device type is different, the device cannot be operated correctly from the operation device, or if the device with different device information is connected and the function of the operation device set in the kitchen remote control 2 cannot be used correctly You can know the discrepancy.

  In the present embodiment, the terminal devices that do not match cannot be operated from the kitchen remote controller 2 at the stage of reflection 56v in the connection time information in the connection time setting. This is to prevent an unnecessary load from being applied to the heat source device 2 by operating from the kitchen remote controller 2 when the display setting and the terminal device do not match. At this time, the operation icons 2cad and 2cbd are displayed in a color that cannot be operated, and even when operated, a warning display indicating that the operation cannot be performed is displayed on the display unit 2c.

  The input and correction of the operation means by the above 53i to 53n and 56l to 56p are selected from the contents stored in advance in the storage means when it is desired to correct the display position, icon and device name set in the automatic setting routine. The display can be changed.

  If there is information stored in advance for both the non-connection setting and the connection setting, the device type, device ID, room name, icon, and display position are stored based on the stored information. The operation means 53n and 56l to 56p are input by correcting the stored contents.

  In the resource supply system according to the present embodiment, the mismatched terminal devices cannot be operated from the kitchen remote controller 2, but the mismatched operation means may be deleted. By erasing, it is possible to ensure that the operation cannot be performed, and unnecessary displays can be deleted.

  In addition, even if there is a mismatch, the information terminal may replace the mismatched terminal device to find a combination that eliminates the mismatch and correct the combination. This modification is useful when the connector to be connected is changed from the originally planned connector for construction reasons. For example, when a terminal is not connected at the time of connection to a connector corresponding to the operation means set in the non-connection setting, and a terminal device having the same terminal type and terminal ID is connected to another connector Can be corrected automatically. Thus, even if there is a mismatch, it can be configured as an appropriate operation device of the terminal device.

  In the resource supply system of this embodiment, an SD card is used as the external storage means 2g. However, necessary data can be copied and taken out from the information terminal, and this can be copied to other information terminals. As long as the external storage means can be used, other means such as a floppy (R) disk and an MO may be used instead of the SD card.

  Moreover, in the resource supply system of the present embodiment, the two types of communication means of the heat source machine control communication means 22 and the information communication means 10 are described separately, but these are physically used by using the same line. It is good also as a structure which isolate | separates and communicates by a frequency, time, a packet, etc.

  In addition, the resource supply system of the present embodiment is described as an example of a kitchen remote controller, a floor heater, and a bathroom heater of a hot-water heating system, but electricity, hot water, gas, water, etc. are used at home, in an office, etc. Any system can be applied as long as the system can remotely control the terminal device in the system to be supplied.

  The resource supply system described in the above embodiment constitutes operation means for operating the terminal device from the information terminal in a system that supplies and uses not only hot water but also resources such as electric power, gas, and hydropower to the terminal device. Can provide an easy-to-use resource supply system.

  Note that the means described in this embodiment causes hardware resources such as a CPU (or microcomputer), a RAM, a ROM, a storage / recording device, an electrical / information device including an I / O, a computer, a server, and the like to cooperate. You may implement with the form of a program. In the form of a program, new functions can be easily distributed / updated and installed by recording them on a recording medium such as magnetic media or optical media or distributing them via a communication line such as the Internet.

  As described above, the resource supply system and the program thereof according to the present invention are different from the operation means configured in a state where the information terminal cannot obtain the information of the resource supply means, and the connection state of the actual resource supply means or the terminal device. Therefore, it can be used not only in hot water heating and heating systems using hot water, but also in systems that supply and use resources such as electric power, gas, hydraulic power, and petroleum fuel to terminal equipment. .
