A plurality of function switches 61 (F1 to F4 in FIG. 2) for turning on and off a predetermined function are provided on the side of 37 and 38 opposite to the selection switches 31 to 34.

Further, the selection switches 31, 32, 33,
LEDs 41, 42, 43, 44 indicating that a predetermined skylight is selected are arranged on the side of 34, and an LED 46 indicating the opening or closing operation state is also arranged on the sides of the operation switches 36, 38. , 48 are arranged. Each function switch 61 is also provided with an LED 40 for display.

A sensor 50 for detecting rain is connected to one individual control unit 17, and further, another temperature sensor or humidity sensor is attached to another individual control unit, and another function switch 61 or the like is used for each unit. It can be made to function. Information from the sensor 50 is used by the common operation unit 2
4 is input to a central control unit (not shown), and from the central control unit of this common operation unit 24, all individual control units 17, 18, 19,
Information from the sensor 50 or an operation command based on the information is output to the unit 20. The sensor 50 may be connected to any of the individual control units 17, 18, 19, 20.
A plurality of types of sensors 50 may be connected to one individual control unit 17, 18, 19, 20. Further, a sensor unit having one or a plurality of sensors and communication means is provided, and this sensor unit is used as the common operation unit 24 or the individual control units 17, 1.
It may be connected to 8, 19, 20.

A common operation unit 54 as a slave unit for controlling opening / closing of the skylights 11 to 14 from other positions by a communication cable 22 is connected to the individual control unit 20, and a common operation as the slave unit is performed. The switch input information of the unit 54 is provided so as to be output to the common operation unit 24 as a master unit. Further, the common operation unit 24 as a parent device is connected to the home automation controller 56. In addition, the common operation units 24 and 54 as a master unit and a slave unit, respectively.
Each has a remote control light-receiving unit 58, and is also controllable by a remote control 60.

Next, the operation of the electric switchgear control device will be described with reference to FIG. First, the common operation unit 2
When there are inputs from various switches of 4, the individual control units 17 and 1
8, 19, and 20 are individually select switches 3 for their own numbers
It is determined whether or not the command by 1, 32, 33, 34 or the all-selection switch 35 for operating all the switchgear is selected, and if it is applicable, a flag indicating that it is selected is set. In this state, the operation switches 36, 37, 38 and each function switch 61 can be operated. Then, when any one of the open or close operation switches 36 and 38 is pressed, the operation is performed by the drive device 15 of the selected skylights 11 to 14. Also, the operation switch 37 to be stopped
When is pressed, the operation of all the driving devices 15 of the skylights 11 to 14 is stopped. At the time of stopping, the operation of the driving device 15 of all the skylight windows 11 to 14 is always stopped regardless of the selection of windows.

The display method of the common operation section 24 is as shown in FIG.
First, it is determined whether the switchgear connected to the common operation unit 24 is a plurality of continuous windows or a single window, as shown in FIG. Although four skylights are connected here, in the case of a single window, the open / closed state of the window is constantly displayed by the LEDs 46 and 48. Further, in the case of continuous windows, if no skylight is selected, the open / closed state of the windows is not displayed. When a specific skylight is selected, the LEDs 41, 42, 43, which correspond to the selected window,
One of the 44 lights up, and the open / closed state of the window is also LED 46, 48.
View by. Then, when the operation switches 36 and 38 are pressed, the corresponding one of the LEDs 46 and 48 blinks during opening and closing of the window while the driving device 15 is operating, and the driving device 1
After the operation of 5, the light is turned on for a certain period of time and then turned off. At this point, the window selection flag is cleared. Further, when the all selection switch 35 is pressed, the states of all the skylights 11 to 14 are judged and displayed by the LEDs 46 and 48. In this case, since the skylights 11 to 14 can individually perform the respective operations, both the skylight in the opening operation and the one in the closing operation are displayed.

When the sensor 50 senses rain while the function of the sensor 50 is operating, the information from the sensor 50 is sent to the central control section of the common operation section 24, and the central control section controls the individual control sections of each skylight. Sensor 50 to 17, 18, 19, 20
Is transmitted, and the skylights 11, 12, 13, and 14 are closed all at once by the driving device 15. Further, since the sensor 50 is connected to the individual control unit 17, the connected individual control unit 17 may directly perform control based on the information from the sensor 50. Here, the above operation can be similarly controlled by the remote control device 60.

Further, the individual control units 17, 18, 19, 2
When 0 detects an abnormality, the display LED of the window number in which the abnormality has occurred among the LEDs 41 to 44 blinks and the buzzer sounds at the same time. Then, when the abnormal state is released, the light goes off and the buzzer stops ringing. The buzzer also stops after a certain period of time has elapsed or by pressing the reset switch 62.
In addition, the communication cable 22 and the individual control units 17, 18, 19,
When a communication abnormality occurs, such as when the connection with 20 is lost or when there is an abnormality in the communication cable, this is displayed on the common operation units 24 and 54 as the master unit and the slave unit.

According to this electric switchgear control device, independent control of each switchgear and simultaneous control of all switchgear are easily possible, and the number of connected sensors can be minimized.

The electric switchgear control device according to the present invention,
The control target may be a member that opens and closes, such as a skylight, a louver, a shutter, and a blind, and may be a mixture of a plurality of types of switchgear. Further, the common operation unit and the individual control unit can be configured by an appropriate control circuit, a microcomputer, or the like.
