Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to facility management systems, and more particularly to automatically controlling and optimizing heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, fire, security and any other electromechanical building system. It relates to a network control unit that connects directly to a site point.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Facility management systems currently available feature 1) general purpose programmable digital controllers, 2) separate sensor / actuator interfaces, 3) communication interfaces, and 4) a number of different physical and logical interfaces. Attached. These systems require extensive custom design for individual installations. System designers / installers develop and test application programs, define and configure multiple databases, design, build and install interface panels between digital controllers and building electrical / mechanical systems, standard features The user must be educated on how to apply the above to the individual requirements of the equipment, and maintenance and fault inspection procedures for the custom-designed part of the system must be developed. All these actions have to be repeated each time a building / network change occurs. Currently available facility management systems include controllers, communication interface devices,
It is constructed by assembling system components including power supplies, interconnect devices, multiple enclosures, digital / electronic-electrical, electric-digital / electronic, air-digital / electronic, digital / electronic-air control interface devices. Current installation configurations require custom design of facility management systems that use system components characterized by nonstandard dimensions, configurations and installation methods. The performance characteristics of currently available system components require physical and electromagnetic isolation by distributing these components in two or more separate metal enclosures. Installing a system using currently available system components requires a long period of engineering labor to design multiple enclosure configurations and associated component interconnections. A lot of field work is required to position the components, connect them with separate wires and cables, and make sure the connections between the components are correct. By applying new technology, it is possible to integrate all system components into a single non-metallic enclosure, standardize placement methods, and eliminate inter-component connections in the field. This simple installation of system components saves engineering and design labor, saves field labor, is consistent in component organization for ease of use and availability, and reduces component interconnections for system reliability. An installation configuration is obtained which has the advantage of increasing. Another reason current system configurations use various form factor system components that are custom designed and placed in multiple enclosures is:
This is because it is necessary to provide different components according to the individual requirements of each building / equipment control application.
If a modular approach is used in the design of system components, by providing different component types with different performance capabilities and packaging these component types in standardized module housings that match the modular arrangement, The required flexibility is obtained. Therefore, module types can be combined to meet individual application requirements of consistent placement, use, and utilization.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention revisits a facility management system by combining the available technologies. The system of the present invention provides a modular family of control system components designed and manufactured using a family of mechanical and electromagnetic parts. This modular group of system components can be flexibly applied in various types, including installation consistency, user consistency, utility consistency, small size, overall organization appeal, ease of installation, ease of use and Characterized by ease of use. A panel of system component modules in a single enclosure provides all the control loops and monitoring functions (controller, power, connections, physical interface) required for facility control applications.

The main advantages of the present invention are power supply, communication, digital and analog controllers, network control, input / output (i / o), point expansion mechanism, electronic / electronic
Electricity-Air (etp), and Air-electricity / Electron (p
-T-e), housing all control and monitoring functions of the facility management system including sensing and control, analog / digital sensing and line voltage sensing and switching, current loop supply and sensing, direct field connection in a single enclosure. Because of its compact size and small size, modular integration and the omission of field connections between components provide high density storage capabilities, consistent organization and human factors and simplicity of design, resulting in significant field installation work. Due to the decrease, the field installation reliability is increased, and because it is a modular system component, it is easy to install, easy to inspect and replace failure source, easy to use, flexible in configuration, engineering and design labor, installation labor , Service labor, user labor / time reduced, standard automatic / manual override integrated, modular installation And lies in the fact that it does not require a tool to exchange. A key feature of the present invention is that it provides a single base frame assembly to support all of the various components needed to control the equipment. Another feature of the invention is the use of a full control plug-in module in the base frame assembly. Another advantage of the plug-in module is that when the module's electrical connector is plugged into the main wiring board assembly, it automatically aligns with the wiring board connector. Another feature of the invention is that the base frame assembly is provided with a modular Faraday shield that extends to all associated equipment when connected to the base frame assembly. Another feature of the invention is that the base frame assembly can be wall mounted as a stand-alone unit or located within the enclosure. Another advantage of the present invention is that it provides the base frame assembly in different configurations to accommodate different management system requirements. The base frame assembly may be mounted unattached directly to the wall, located in a non-specific "third party" enclosure, or user / specific enclosure. When placed in an enclosure, it can house the connecting cables, wires and tubing and protect the contained control devices / apparatus. Other key features and advantages of the present invention will be appreciated to those of ordinary skill in the art by reference to the accompanying drawings, detailed description and claims.
