  Hereinafter, a monitoring system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

<System configuration>
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration of a monitoring system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  The monitoring system 100 is a system in which a building management system monitoring terminal 10 monitors a plurality of types of equipment via a communication line. The building management system monitoring terminal 10, a lighting device 40, an elevator 50, an air conditioning monitoring interface 30, and the like. Are connected to each other via a communication line.

  The building management system monitoring terminal 10 (hereinafter simply referred to as the BMS monitoring terminal 10) processes and outputs information on each device transmitted from the lighting device 60, the elevator 70, the air conditioning monitoring interface 30 and the like. It is a device that performs monitoring. The BMS monitoring terminal 10 is positioned as a host device when viewed from the lighting device 60, the elevator 70, the air conditioning monitoring interface 30 and the like that are the monitoring targets.

  The lighting device 60 transmits monitoring information indicating whether the lighting device provided in a specific area is in an ON state or an OFF state to the BMS monitoring terminal 10 via a communication line.

  The elevator 70 transmits monitoring information indicating whether or not a specific elevator is available to the BMS monitoring terminal 10 via a communication line.

  The air conditioning monitoring interface 30 monitors the plurality of air conditioning devices A to I, and transmits the obtained monitoring information to the BMS monitoring terminal 10 via a communication line. Here, the plurality of air conditioners A to I are classified into several groups as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 showing an image of monitoring. Then, one piece of monitoring information collected for each group is transmitted to the BMS monitoring terminal 10.

  Each of the air conditioners A to I acquires monitoring information related to the air conditioner such as its own operating state, presence / absence of abnormality, set temperature, room temperature of the place where the indoor unit is installed, operation mode and wind direction, and air volume. Specifically, the operation state, presence / absence of abnormality, set temperature, operation mode, wind direction, and air volume are information controlled by the control unit of each air conditioner A to I, and the room temperature is the room of each air conditioner It is information obtained from the temperature sensor etc. of the space where the machine is installed.

(Air conditioning monitoring interface 30)
As shown in FIG. 3 as a detailed internal configuration, the air conditioning monitoring interface 30 includes a group designation receiving unit 31, a group creating unit 32, a monitoring information acquiring unit 33, a group information selection receiving unit 34, and a group information creating unit 35. , A communication unit 36, a memory 37, and a monitoring program P. Note that the group designation receiving unit 31 and the group information selection receiving unit 34 specifically correspond to those for inputting information by a user operation such as a keyboard and a mouse. The memory 37 stores an information processing procedure for performing first group information creation processing and second group information creation processing described later. The monitoring program P is also stored separately.

  Based on the grouping data input by the group designation receiving unit 31 by the user, the group creating unit 32, as shown in FIG. 1, a first air conditioning group 41, a second air conditioning group 42, a third air conditioning group 43,. Create In FIGS. 1 and 2, the air conditioning devices A to F are grouped in the first air conditioning group 41, the air conditioning devices G and H are grouped in the second air conditioning group 42, and the air conditioning devices I are grouped in the third air conditioning group 43. The case is shown as an example. By the grouping process by the group creation unit 32, the air conditioning monitoring interface 30 grasps that it is divided into each group.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the monitoring information acquisition unit 33 operates from the air conditioners A to I, such as the operating state, presence / absence of abnormality, set temperature, room temperature where the indoor unit is installed, operation mode, wind direction, air volume, etc. Get monitoring information about air conditioning equipment. Specifically, the monitoring information acquisition unit 33 is connected to each of the air conditioners A to I, and can suck up information acquired by each of the air conditioners A to I.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the group information selection reception unit 34 is a plurality of types of information creation processing as a processing procedure for processing the monitoring information acquired by the monitoring information acquisition unit 33 for each group for each item. A designation selection instruction is received from the user as to which information creation process is to be performed among the first group information creation process, the second group information creation process, and so on. Here, the processing procedure of the first group information creation process, the second group information creation process,... Is stored in the memory 37.

  The group information creating unit 35 creates group information for each group for each item by executing a group information creating process based on the selection received by the group information selection receiving unit 34.

  Depending on the item, there is monitoring information that does not need to be selected. For example, regarding whether or not an abnormality has occurred, if any one of the air conditioners belonging to the group has an abnormality, it is indicated as “abnormal” as one piece of information for the entire group, and the abnormal air conditioner Is not indicated in the state that does not exist in the group.

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the operation state is described as an example of the monitoring information item. When the group information selection receiving unit 34 receives an input indicating that “selection 1” is selected from the user for the “driving state” item, the group information creating unit 35 stores in the memory 37. The first group information creation process of the stored operation state item is read, the information acquired by the monitoring information acquisition unit 33 is processed, and group information is generated. Here, since selection 1 is designated, if any one of the air conditioners belonging to the group is in the operating state, the entire group is processed as being in the operating state. Further, when all the air conditioners belonging to the group are in the operation stop state, the entire group is processed as being in the stop state. For example, in FIG. 2, a device whose square check box is checked is in operation, and a device that is not checked is displayed as being stopped. Focusing on the first air conditioning group, among the air conditioning devices A to F of the first air conditioning group 41, only the air conditioning devices A and D are in a stopped state, and the other air conditioning devices B, C, E, and F are in operation. It is in. For this reason, since there is one or more operating devices in the first air conditioning group 41, the group information of the first air conditioning group 41 as a whole has the content “operating”. And the content that this 1st air conditioning group 41 is "in operation" transmits to the BMS monitoring terminal 10 from the communication part 36 via a communication line. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 2, the BMS monitoring terminal 10 can recognize that the first air conditioning group 41 is “in operation”. Here, in the BMS monitoring terminal 10, since it is only necessary to process one piece of information collected from the air conditioners A to F separately, the information processing amount is reduced, The system cost can be reduced. In addition, since the monitoring evaluation method for each group is selected from a plurality of selections by the user, not only the information processing amount can be reduced, but also necessary information can be effectively reflected in the monitoring. It is possible.

  On the other hand, when the group information selection accepting unit 34 accepts an input from the user to select “selection 2” instead of “selection 1” for the “operational state” item, The creation unit 35 reads the second group information creation process of the item of the operation state stored in the memory 37, processes the information acquired by the monitoring information acquisition unit 33, and creates group information. Here, since selection 2 is designated, when all of the air conditioners belonging to the group are in the operating state, the entire group is processed as being in the operating state. If even one of the air conditioners belonging to the group is in a stopped state, the entire group is processed as being in a stopped state. In this case, the monitoring information displayed and output in the BMS monitoring terminal 10 is different from the case where the “selection 1” is specified. That is, focusing on the first air conditioning group, among the air conditioning devices A to F of the first air conditioning group 41, the air conditioning devices A and D are in a stopped state, and the other air conditioning devices B, C, E, and F are in operation. is there. For this reason, it cannot be said that all the air-conditioning devices in the first air-conditioning group 41 are in an operating state. Therefore, the group information of the entire first air-conditioning group 41 has a content of “stopped”, and the “selection 1” described above. It differs from the contents of “Driving”. Thus, the user can change the property of data obtained as monitoring information by changing the designation of selection. For this reason, it is possible to obtain monitoring information desired by the user while reducing the amount of information processing.

  In addition, for the item “set temperature”, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, selection branches from “selection 1” to “selection 6” are prepared. Here, when “selection 1” is designated, the preset temperature of the air-conditioning device that is designated in advance is always handled as the monitoring information as the preset temperature. When “selection 2” is designated, the set temperature of the air conditioner being operated is set as the set temperature and is specified by a predetermined priority order (for example, in alphabetical order from A). Is treated as monitoring information. When “selection 3” is designated, the average value of the set temperatures of the operating air conditioners is handled as the monitoring information as the set temperature. When “selection 4” is designated, a cyclic process is performed in which the set temperature of the operating air conditioner is acquired as the set temperature while changing the target air conditioner at regular intervals and handled as monitoring information. In this cyclic processing, more information can be output by switching and outputting information according to time while processing one group information without simultaneously processing two or more pieces of group information. When “selection 5” is designated, the highest set temperature among the set temperatures of the operating air conditioners is handled as the monitoring information as the set temperature. When “selection 6” is designated, the lowest set temperature among the set temperatures of the operating air conditioners is handled as the monitoring information.

  For the item “room temperature”, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, selection options “selection 1” to “selection 3” are prepared. Here, when “selection 1” is designated, the room temperature, which is always measured by the air conditioner designated in advance, is treated as the monitoring information. When “selection 2” is designated, the room temperature is the room temperature measured by the operating air conditioner, and the room temperature of the air conditioner specified by a predetermined priority order (for example, alphabetically from A). Treat as monitoring information. When “selection 3” is designated, the room temperature, the average value of the room temperature measured by the operating air conditioner is handled as monitoring information.

  As for the item of “operation mode” indicating cooling operation, heating operation, dehumidifying operation, etc., for example, selection branches “selection 1” and “selection 2” are prepared as shown in FIG. Here, when “selection 1” is designated, the operation mode in which the air conditioner designated in advance is being executed is always handled as monitoring information as the operation mode. When “selection 2” is designated, the operation mode is the operation mode in which the air conditioner being operated is being executed, and the air conditioner identified by a predetermined priority order (for example, in alphabetical order from A) Are treated as monitoring information.

  As for the item “wind direction and air volume”, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, selections of “selection 1” and “selection 2” are prepared. Here, when “selection 1” is designated, the wind direction and the air volume set by the air conditioner designated in advance are always handled as the monitoring information as the wind direction and the air volume. When “selection 2” is designated, the wind direction and the air volume are specified by a predetermined priority order (for example, in alphabetical order from A), which is the air direction and air volume set by the operating air conditioner. The air direction and air flow of the air conditioner to be used are monitored information.

  In addition, about the information processing using the above-mentioned group specification reception part 31, group creation part 32, monitoring information acquisition part 33, group information selection reception part 34, group information creation part 35, communication part 36, and memory 37, it is a monitoring program This is performed by executing P in a CPU or the like (not shown).

(BMS monitoring terminal 10)
As shown in FIG. 3, the BMS monitoring terminal 10 is a terminal that acquires monitoring information from each lower monitoring target via a communication line, processes it, and displays it. Unit 13, information processing unit 14 and the like.

  The BMS monitoring terminal 10 acquires monitoring information from the lighting device 60, the elevator 70, the air conditioning monitoring interface 30 and the like via the communication line by the communication unit 13.

  Then, the information processing unit 14 processes the acquired monitoring information of each monitoring target based on data corresponding to the monitoring target and the monitoring item content stored in the database 11. Information obtained by processing by the information processing unit 14 is displayed and output via the display unit 12.

  The monitoring data displayed and output on the display unit 12 of the BMS monitoring terminal 10 is monitored by the system engineer of the BMS monitoring terminal 10 to monitor each facility device.

<Features of this embodiment>
In the monitoring system 100 of the present embodiment, the air conditioning monitoring interface 30 does not process each piece of information of the air conditioning equipments A to F separately, but processes one piece of information collected from them. For this reason, it is possible to reduce the amount of information processing and reduce the system cost. In addition, since the monitoring evaluation method for each group is selected from a plurality of selections by the user, not only the information processing amount can be reduced, but also necessary information can be effectively reflected in the monitoring. It is possible.

  Further, when the air conditioning system is changed from the central air conditioning system to a variable refrigerant flow rate control system (so-called VRV (system based on variable refrigerant volume)), the number of air conditioning devices to be monitored increases. In such a case, the monitoring system 100 is particularly effective.

<Modification>
(A)
In the cyclic processing of the above-described embodiment, the case of processing the set temperature item while changing the target air conditioner in a certain time has been described as an example.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, cyclic processing may be performed for items of other operating states, room temperature, operating mode, wind direction, and air volume.

In addition, this cyclic processing does not switch the acquisition target air conditioner over a predetermined time, but for example, for the set temperature item, when the air conditioner whose set temperature has changed appears, You may be made to repeat making it acquire as monitoring information the newly set preset temperature of the air-conditioning apparatus from which preset temperature was changed.
(B)
Not limited to the monitoring contents shown in the monitoring system 100, for example, by collecting alarms for air conditioning equipment, counting and accumulating the number of occurrences by equipment and equipment, and supporting equipment maintenance and renewal planning by trend analysis, etc. Monitoring may be enhanced. In addition, trouble handling history, repair history, maintenance schedule, consumables for spare parts, contact information of suppliers, report creation (business diary), etc. may be included as monitoring targets.

  Furthermore, you may monitor the operation time of an installation apparatus, and the operation condition according to apparatus. Further, the trend of energy consumption of the building may be grasped in detail by designing a graph suitable for evaluation of heat sources such as cooling / heating, heat radiation / heat storage, and air conditioning system. By automatically metering the tenant's electricity, gas, and water usage, and calculating the monthly usage amount, the billing amount for water and utility bills is calculated. In addition, a billing statement for each tenant may be output.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to monitor a plurality of air conditioners while suppressing an increase in system cost even when the number of air conditioners to be monitored increases. It is particularly useful for a monitoring device, a monitoring system, and a monitoring program that perform monitoring.
