[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention displays the state of various management points in a facility in a partition area divided into individual sections on an annunciator, and designates an arbitrary partition area and manages the corresponding partition area. The present invention relates to a facility management device capable of setting a point state.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various facilities are arranged in facilities such as high-rise buildings, apartment houses, hospitals, factories and the like. For example, the equipment includes equipment systems such as air conditioning equipment, electric power equipment, security equipment, disaster prevention equipment, and heat source equipment, and these equipments are provided with a large number of various equipment as equipment equipment. When managing the status of various points at these facilities,
An annunciator is used, and the state of various management points is illuminated and displayed in a partition area divided into individual sections. That is, in the annunciator, for example, the ON state of the air conditioner as a management point is displayed with a red LED, the OFF state is displayed with a green LED, and the abnormal state is displayed with a flashing red LED. Shall be displayed. On the other hand, for example, a touch sensor is laid in the partition area, and by touching or turning on the touch sensor, it is possible to set the state of the management point corresponding to the partition area in which the touch sensor is laid. Becomes For example, when a partition area corresponding to an air conditioner is touched as a management point, a green LED and a red LED blink in this partition area. If the start key is touched after confirming the blinking of the LED, the air conditioner is actually started. When the stop key is touched, the air conditioner is actually stopped.

Next, functions specific to the present embodiment will be described for the sevicic device 10.

First, the function of registering a management point from the annunciator 2 will be described. That is, usually, the state setting of the management points is collectively performed for each group of tenants, facilities, and the like. As a pre-stage, in this embodiment, management points are first registered for each group. The registration function will be specifically described. First, in step 401 shown in FIG. 4, a group key to be registered is touched from group allocation areas (hereinafter, referred to as group keys) 20-1 to 20-n. For example, the group key 20-1 is touched to indicate the A tenant.
At this time, an LED may be provided in each area of the group keys 20-1 to 20-n to display the touched group key. Then, as a management point related to the A tenant, for example, “FAN-00”
When the user touches (selects) each of the partition areas to which point names “5”, “AALM-005”, and “AHU-016” are attached (step 402), the red LED and the green LED blink in these partition areas. Then, the blinking state of the LED in these partition areas is confirmed, and the execution key 2d
When 6 is touched (step 403), the LEDs in the selected partition areas return to the light-off state, that is, the unselected state (step 404), and the selected partition areas are assigned to the group key 20-1. The group information is transmitted from the annunciator 2 to the BAS 4 (step 405). Then, the BAS 4 receives the group information from the annunciator 2 and registers each management point corresponding to each partition area indicated by the group information in association with the group key 20-1. In this embodiment, when an erroneous management point is selected due to an erroneous operation or the like, the selected state of the point can be canceled by touching the partition area with the point again.

Next, the function of confirming the registration management point from the annunciator 2 will be described. The confirmation function will be described in detail. First, step 501 shown in FIG.
Then, for example, a group key 20-1 is touched as a group key to be confirmed. Then, the annunciator 2
Each management point registered in association with the group key 20-1 is read from the BAS 4 (step 502), and the red LED and the green LED in each partition area corresponding to the read management point blink (step 50).
3). Thereby, each management point registered in association with the group key 20-1 can be easily confirmed visually. After confirming, cancel key 2d
By touching 7 (step 504), the LED in each partition area can be turned off, that is, returned to the unselected state (step 505).

Next, the function of changing / deleting the registration management point from the annunciator 2 will be described. The change / deletion function will be described in detail. First, in step 601 shown in FIG. Then, the annunciator 2 reads each management point registered in association with the group key 20-1 from the BAS 4 (step 602), and sets a red LED and a green LED in each partition area corresponding to each read management point. Is blinked (step 603). Here, if a registration management point is to be added, the process proceeds to step 60 through step 604.
Go to 5. If the registration management point is to be deleted, the process proceeds to step 611 via step 610. Step 6
When a partition area with a point name to be added is touched at 05, for example, when a partition area with a point name “FIRE-015” is touched, the red LED and the green LED blink in this partition area. (Step 606). Then, when the execution key 2d6 is touched (step 607), the LEDs in each of the partition areas including the additionally selected partition area return to an extinguished state, that is, an unselected state (step 608), and the additional selected partition area is returned. Each partition area including the group key 20-1
Is transmitted from the annunciator 2 to the BAS 4 as the new group information assigned to (step 609). On the other hand, when the partition area with the point name to be deleted is touched in step 611, for example, when the partition area with the point name “AALM-005” is touched, the red LED and the red LED in this partition area are touched. The green LED turns off (Step 6
12). Then, when the execution key 2d6 is touched (step 607), the LED in each partition area returns to the light-off state, that is, returns to the unselected state (step 608). The new group information assigned to -1 is transmitted from the annunciator 2 to the BAS 4 (step 609).

Next, an actual state setting function from the annunciator 2 to the management point will be described. The setting function will be specifically described. First, in step 701 shown in FIG. 7, for example, a group key 20-1 is touched as a group key to be set. Then, the annunciator 2 reads each management point registered in association with the group key 20-1 from the BAS 4 (step 70).
2) The red LED and the green LED in each partition area corresponding to each read management point are blinked (step 703). At this point, the group key 20
Each management point registered in association with -1 can be visually confirmed. If the start key 2d3 is touched (step 704), or if the stop key 2d4 is touched (step 70).
4), start / stop information for each management point registered in association with the group key 20-1 (registration point start / stop information)
Is transmitted from the annunciator 2 to the BAS 4 (step 705). Then, the BAS 4 receives the registration point start / stop information from the annunciator 2 and collectively sets the start / stop state for each actual management point registered in association with the group key 20-1. The start / stop output is sent as required.

[0020]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, by using the group allocation area on the annunciator, a desired partition area is designated from among the partition areas, and each management point is grouped. After registering, it is possible to set them all at once, and it is not necessary to repeat the operation of the start key and the stop key, so that the setting work can be easily done, and the setting can be done by the annunciator alone It has an excellent effect.
