Is a plurality of operation terminals connected to the central control unit 1 via the transmission line 2, and 5 is a plurality connected to each of the control terminals 3a, 3b, ... ON / OFF control load of lighting equipment, etc., 6 is a plurality of operation contacts connected to the operation terminal 4 such as 4n, and 7 is connected to the central control unit 1, and data is registered in the central control unit 1. It is a data input device for doing.

Next, the operation will be described. As an example of registration data, registration data of individual control in which a circuit including one operation terminal 4 and a circuit including one control terminal 3 have a one-to-one correspondence will be described. First, regarding the operation circuit, the address of the operation terminal 4 and the channel number of the switch (not shown) provided in the operation terminal 4 or the input terminal (not shown) to which the operation contact 6 is connected Is registered in the central control unit 1 by the data input unit 7, and then for the control corresponding to this operating circuit, the address of the control terminal 3 and the channel of the output terminal (not shown) to which the control load 5 is connected. The numbers and are registered in the same manner as the above numbers. By this registration, the central controller 1
Controls the operation circuit and the control circuit in a one-to-one correspondence and performs individual control. The signal flows on the transmission line 2 are indicated by arrows a to d, respectively.

First, in the case of individual control, for example, an operating state of a switch (not shown) provided in the operating terminal 4n or an operating contact 6 connected to the outside of the operating terminal 4n is indicated by an arrow a. Is transmitted to the central controller 1 as operation data. Based on the operation data, the central control device 1 turns on / off any control load 5 according to the registration data registered in advance from the data input device 7, for example, as shown by an arrow b, a control terminal device. Three
While transmitting the control data to b, the state data indicating the state of the control load 5 controlled by this control data is received as indicated by the arrow c, and the result is indicated to the operation terminal 4n as indicated by the arrow d. Return to. Then, the state data returned to the operation terminal 4n turns on / off the light emitting diode or the output contact (both not shown) for displaying the state, which is provided in the operation terminal.

Next, in schedule control and the like, the central control unit 1 performs schedule operation by transmitting control data to the control terminal 3 according to a predetermined schedule (registration data) registered in advance.

[0006]

In the conventional remote control device, since the terminal device 4 or 3 is fixed for operation or control as described above, for example, the operation contact 6 and the control load 5 are the same. Even when there is one at each location, it is necessary to provide each of the operation terminal 4 and the control terminal 3, resulting in a large installation space, an increase in system price, and a complicated system configuration. There was a problem that became.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and even if there are several operating contacts and control loads at the same place, the operating contacts and control loads are used. Regardless of the load score ratio, a remote control device operation / control terminal that does not require a large installation space, suppresses an increase in system price, and prevents the configuration of the remote control device from becoming complicated The purpose is to get.

[0008]

An operation / control terminal of a remote control device according to the present invention is an operation terminal of at least one channel to which an operation contact is connected according to data registered in a central control device. And a plurality of input / output terminals that can be used as any of the control terminals of at least one channel to which the control load is connected.

[0009]

[Operation] Even if there are several operating contacts and control loads in the same place, the setting of operating terminals and control terminals can be freely assigned, so what is the point ratio of operating contacts and control loads? However, a single operation / control terminal can support remote control.

EXAMPLES Example 1. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram of a remote controller showing an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 to 7 are exactly the same as those shown in FIG. The operation / control terminal 8 is connected to the central controller 1 via a transmission line 2. FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram of the operation / control terminal device 8, 11a and 11b are operation terminals to which the operation contact 6 is connected, and the transistor 11c is opened / closed by opening / closing the operation contact 6. After the operation command, the operation terminals 12a and 12b are output terminals for displaying the state of the load controlled by this operation, and the display lamp 12d connected to the output terminals 12a and 12b is a control switch. Lights by closing 12c. Reference numerals 13a and 13b are control terminals to which the control load 5 is connected, and the control load 5 is driven by closing the switch 13c connected to the control terminals 13a and 13b. 14a and 14b are terminals to which an answer back contact 14c representing the state of the control load 5 is connected,
The phototransistor 14d is opened / closed by opening / closing the answerback contact 14c. As is apparent from the figure, the operation terminals 11a and 11b are terminals 14a and 14b, the output terminals 12a and 12b are control terminals 13a and 13b,
Each is connected to the internal circuit of the same specifications.

The operation of the embodiment will be described below. First, when the operation / control terminal 8 is used for control,
For example, the operation state of a switch (not shown) provided in the operation terminal 4n or the operation contact 6 connected to the outside is transmitted to the central controller 1 as operation data as indicated by an arrow a. Based on this operation data, the central control device 1 turns on / off any control load 5 according to the registration data registered in advance from the data input device 7, so that the operation / control terminal device is indicated by the arrow e. 8 to send control data. The state of the load is displayed by the answer back contact 14c in the operation / control terminal 8, and the state data is returned to the central control unit 1 as indicated by the arrow. Then, the central controller 1 returns the result to the operating terminal 4n as indicated by the arrow d. Based on this status data, a light emitting diode (not shown) or an output contact (not shown) for status display provided in the operation terminal 4n is turned on / off. Next, when the operation / control terminal 8 is used for operation, first, the operation terminal 11 of the operation / control terminal 8 is used.
When the operation contact 6 connected to a and 11b is closed, this operation signal is transmitted as operation data to the central control unit 1 as indicated by an arrow g, and the central control unit 1 arbitrarily determines based on this operation data. In order to turn on / off the load of, the control data is transmitted to the control terminal 3b as indicated by the arrow b, and the state data indicating the state of the control load 5 is received as indicated by the arrow c, This result is indicated by arrow h
It is returned to the operation / control terminal 8 as shown in FIG. The result is, for example, the display lamp 12 of the operation / control terminal device 8.
It is displayed by lighting d. As described above, the operation / control terminal 8 can be used for both operation and control, and further, by the data registration to the central control device 1 by the data input device 7, the operation / control terminal 8 can be used. It is possible to set whether the plurality of eight terminals 11a to 14b and the like are used for each channel for operation or control. For example, in FIG. 2, when data is registered so that a channel used for control (for example, channel 2) is used for operation, terminals 14a and 14b are operation terminals to which operation contacts 6 are connected, Terminals 13a, 1
3b serves as an output terminal for displaying the state of the load. Although FIG. 2 shows an operation / control terminal for two channels, it is possible to freely set an operation circuit or a control circuit for each channel even for multiple channels.
