[0016]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a monitoring control system according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the monitoring control system includes a monitoring control unit (for example, a receiver) 1 for controlling the entire system, a control terminal group 2 and a controlled terminal group 3 monitored and controlled by the monitoring control unit 1. It is configured.

When this monitoring and control system is configured as, for example, a disaster prevention system, each control terminal of the control terminal group 2 includes a normal fire detector (for example, a non-accumulation type normal smoke detector, heat detector, etc.). ) Can be used. In other words, as a control terminal, when this operates at a point in time,
A type that outputs an alarm signal at that time can be used. Each controlled terminal of the controlled terminal group 3 includes:
Smoke prevention equipment such as shutters and fire doors, and air conditioning equipment can be used.

The monitoring control unit 1 is connected to the control terminal group 2 and the controlled terminal group 3 by, for example, a predetermined transmission line, line, or wireless.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a specific example of the monitoring control system. Referring to FIG. 2, the system includes a receiver 11, a group of control terminals 2 and a group of controlled terminals 3 monitored and controlled by the receiver 11, and the entire monitor and control system is provided in the receiver 11. CPU 15 for controlling and CP
ROM 16 in which a control program of U15 is stored,
RAM 1 used as a work area or the like of CPU 15
7, a display / operation unit 19, and an interface unit 18 functioning as an interface (for example, a transmission interface) between the control terminal group 2 and the controlled terminal group 3.

When the system shown in FIG. 2 is configured as a disaster prevention system and an analog type sensor is used for the control terminal group 2, for example, the sensor group, the CPU 15 of the receiver 11 is used.
Calls each sensor by address polling, detects the state of each sensor, and outputs a fire alarm according to the detection result, or a predetermined controlled terminal (for example, smoke prevention equipment or air conditioning equipment, etc.) ) Is interlocked. That is, in this case, this system is constructed as a so-called R-type system.

In FIG. 2, CPU 15, RO
The M16, the RAM 17, and the interface unit 18 have functions as the monitoring control unit 1 in FIG.

In FIG. 2, the display / operation unit 19 is, for example, a touch panel type liquid crystal display.
Display means such as (LCD) and CRT display,
Input means such as a keyboard and a mouse can be used.

In such a monitoring and control system, according to the present invention, the monitoring and control unit 1 includes at least the control terminal group 2
Can be divided into arbitrary groups and managed.
(I.e., for example, as shown in FIG. 1, is divided into a plurality of groups G ₁ ~G _n has a manageable), originating in each group are classified, from the control terminal of a predetermined number or more (plurality) The corresponding controlled terminal is interlocked and controlled on condition that the notification signal is output. In addition,
In FIG. 1, the control terminal group 2 is grouped, but in FIG. 1, the control terminal group 2 and the controlled terminal group 3 are grouped together, and within each of the divided groups,
It is also possible to control the corresponding controlled terminals in this group in an interlocking manner on condition that the alarm signal is output from a predetermined number or more (plurality) of control terminals.

Specifically, such grouping is performed, for example, when the monitoring and control system is constructed over one building, each control terminal existing in the whole building is set to one.
It is performed by dividing (grouping) for each section (for example, room), or each control terminal and each controlled terminal existing in the whole building are divided into one section (for example, room).
This can be done by dividing (grouping) each group. In this way, the control terminal group 2 is divided into groups and managed, or the control terminal group 2 and the controlled terminal group 3 are divided into groups. By managing them, for example, the reliability of fire detection can be increased. That is, for example,
Since the control terminal and the controlled terminal installed in one section (for example, a room) are considered to have a high degree of correlation with each other, by managing them collectively in one group, the reliability of fire detection and the like can be improved. Can be enhanced.

FIG. 3 shows a detector S in one section of the building.
And ₁ to S ₄ and Bohai smoke terminal T ₁ through T ₃ is a diagram showing a state of being equipment.

In this case, when any one of the sensors S _{1 to} S ₄ emits an alarm, the smoke prevention terminal T in this section is fired.
It is also possible to interlock controls ₁ through T _3. However, at this time, even if any one of the sensors of S ₁ to S ₄ are alarm, since interlocking control operation is performed, in order to prevent interlocking control operation error due to false alarms, the detectors S ₁ ~ S ₄
Needs to be the storage type as described above,
As a result, there is a problem that the interlocking control operation is delayed.

In order to avoid this problem, according to the present invention, among the sensors S _{1 to} S ₄ in one group, a predetermined number or more of sensors, for example, two or more arbitrary sensors are issued. For the first time, the smoke elimination terminals T _{1 to} T ₃
Is controlled interlockingly.

In this case, as each of the sensors S _{1 to} S ₄ , a type which outputs an alarm signal at the time when the sensors S _{1 to} S ₄ are activated at a point in time can be used. Even when the smoke detector is used, the smoke control terminals T _{1 to} T ₃ are controlled for the first time under the condition that a predetermined number or more of the sensors, for example, two or more arbitrary sensors, are fired. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the interlocking control operation due to the false notification without delaying the interlocking control operation.

It should be noted that, on condition that at least a predetermined number of fire detectors have been activated, it is conventionally determined that a fire has occurred.
Although known as a signal fire receiver, the present invention uses a predetermined number or more of sensors, which are conditions for performing an interlocking control operation, as a group of sensors in a specific area, or a high correlation (correlation). The group is limited to a sensor group with a high degree of frequency, and an interlocking control operation for a predetermined controlled terminal is performed on condition that a predetermined number or more (plurality) of sensors in this group have issued an alarm.

Therefore, even if one sensor in this group and a sensor outside this group fire simultaneously, these two sensors are not in the same group,
Since the correlation is not high, the interlocking control operation is not performed. That is, a predetermined number or more (a plurality of) sensors serving as conditions for performing the interlocking control operation are limited to a sensor group having a high association (high correlation) (for example, a sensor group in a specific area). Therefore, a more reliable interlocking control operation can be performed as compared with a conventional two-signal fire receiver or the like.

As described above, according to the present invention, at least a control terminal (for example, a sensor) considered to have a high degree of correlation with each other
Are managed in a group, and a predetermined number or more (a plurality of) control terminals (sensors) of the control terminals (e.g., sensors) in one group are notified (actuated) to perform an interlocking control operation. Therefore, the interlocking control operation can be performed extremely reliably and quickly. In addition, when a predetermined number or more (plurality) of control terminals (sensors) among the control terminals (e.g., sensors) in one group generate an alarm, the control device performs the interlocking control operation as described above and It is also possible to cause a fire alarm operation or the like to be performed in accordance with.

The above-described control in the monitoring controller 1 can be performed based on control data as shown in FIG. The control data of FIG. 4 is provided for each of the groups divided as described above, and for one group, the control terminal which should be a factor for satisfying the above condition.
(E.g., sensor) information (factor control terminal information) and information on the controlled terminal that is to be interlocked when the above conditions are satisfied
(Controlled terminal information) and the minimum number of control terminals required to satisfy the above-described conditions (the number of required factor operations).

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a specific example of a control table in which control data for each group is summarized. FIG. 5 shows a control terminal group 2 of the monitoring control system, which includes n groups G _{1 to} G. A control table (control data table) in the case of _n division is illustrated. Such a control table is developed, for example, in the RAM 17 of the system shown in FIG.

In the control table of FIG. 5, for example, focusing on the _third group G ₃ , in this group G ₃ , a control terminal (factor control terminal) to be a factor for fulfilling the condition is set.
Are the four sensors S ₂ , S ₅ , S ₇ , S ₃₉ , and
It can be seen that the controlled terminals to be subjected to the interlock control when the condition is satisfied are the four controlled terminals T ₁ , T ₅ , T ₆ , and T ₉ , and the necessary factor operation number is “2”.

The monitoring controller 1 can perform an interlocking control operation for each group using such a control table. For example, in the third group,
When the sensors S ₂ and S ₇ emit (actuate), these sensors S ₂ and S ₇ are controlled by the factor control terminals (S ₂ , S ₅ , S ₇ , S ₇ ) in the control table (control data). ₃₉ )
And the number of factor operations is “2” and the control table
(Control data) satisfies the condition of the number of necessary factor operations (= 2) or more. In this case, the controlled terminals (four controlled terminals T ₁ , T ₅ , T ₆ , T ₉ ) can be interlocked.

As described above, when the control table as shown in FIG. 5 (control data as shown in FIG. 3) is set (registered) in advance, the monitoring control unit 1 performs the above-described operations for each group. Interlocking control based on a plurality of alarm signals (operation signals) can be easily performed.

Further, by managing the data by using a control table as shown in FIG. 5 (control data as shown in FIG. 3), it is possible to add, delete, or change a control terminal (sensor) as a factor, or to control an interlocking control object. It becomes easy to add, delete, or change the controlled terminal.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the interlocking control method according to the present invention. In the example of FIG. 6, it is assumed that a control table as shown in FIG. 5 is created (registered) in advance for each group. FIG. 6 shows a processing example when focusing on one group. Further, the example of FIG. 6 shows a case where only the interlocking control to the controlled terminal is performed when the number of factor control terminals that have issued (operated) has become equal to or greater than the required factor operation number.

Referring to FIG. 6, when the monitoring control unit 1 (for example, the CPU 15) performs a process for a certain group, first, the necessary factor operation number CS_MAX and the number of factor control terminals for the group are obtained from the control table. PS_MAX is obtained (steps S1 and S2). Next, when the number PS is assigned to the cause control terminals of this group registered in the control table in the order of registration, the number PS of this cause control terminal is initialized to "1" (step S3). Further, the number of factor activations CS is initialized to "0" (step S4).

Next, it is determined whether or not the PS-th control terminal registered in this group has issued (activated) (step S5).
S is incremented by "1" (step S6). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the factored operation number CS has reached the required factored operation number CS_MAX (step S7), and the required factored operation number CS_MAX is determined.
If not, the number PS is incremented by "1" (step S8). Then, the number P thus advanced
It is determined whether S is equal to or greater than the number PS_MAX of the factor control terminals (step S9), and the number PS_MA of the factor control terminals is determined.
If not more than X, the factor control terminal of this number PS
In order to check the state of the (next factor control terminal), the process returns to step S5, and the processes of steps S5 to S9 are repeated.

As described above, the statuses of the factor control terminals in this group are sequentially examined, and as a result, step S7 is performed.
In the above, when the number of factor control terminals that have issued (operated), that is, the number of factor activations CS has reached the required number of factor activations CS_MAX, the condition of the interlocking control has been satisfied. Control the linked controlled terminal.

That is, first, the number PT_MAX of controlled terminals to be subjected to the interlock control is obtained from the control table.
(Step S10). Next, when it is assumed that a number PT is to be assigned to the controlled terminals to be linked and controlled in this group registered in the control table in the order of registration, the number PT of the controlled terminal is initialized to “1” ( Step S
11). Thereafter, the controlled terminal registered at the PTth position in the control data of this group is interlocked and controlled.
(Step S12). Next, the number PT is incremented by "1" (step S13), and it is determined whether or not the number PT is equal to or greater than PT_MAX (step S14). If not, the process returns to step S12, and the controlled terminal having the number PT is controlled. (The next controlled terminal) is interlocked. In this manner, the processes of steps S12 to S14 are repeatedly performed to sequentially control the controlled terminals registered in the control table, and in step S14, the PT
When it becomes MAX or more, the interlocking control of all the controlled terminals registered in the control table is completed.

On the other hand, at step S9, as a result of examining the states of all the factor control terminals in this group, if the number of factor operations of all the factor control terminals in this group does not reach the required factor operation number CS_MAX, The process ends without performing the interlocking control to the control terminal.

As can be seen from the processing in FIG. 6, according to the present invention, the status of each factor control terminal in one group is sequentially examined, and as a result, the number of factor control terminals that have issued a predetermined number, When the number of factorial operations has been reached, the controlled terminals are interlocked at this point without checking the status of the remaining factor control terminals in this group, so that the interlocking control can be performed quickly. Specifically, in the example described above, the sensors S ₂ , S ₅ ,
The state of _{S 7, S 39, S 2} , S 5, S 7, when sequentially examined in the order of S _39, when the the S ₂ and S ₇ and alarm is a step of examining the state of S _7, factors operation number "2", and so reaches the required factors actuation number (= 2), without examining the state of S _39, at which point, the controlled terminal _{T 1, T 5, T 6} , T 9 Interlocking control is possible.

The above processing can be performed using a management table as shown in FIG. 7, for example. That is, the management table of FIG. 7, all of the control terminal (sensor) control terminal individual details are set details table TB ₁ of this monitoring and control system, a control table TB ₂ as shown in FIG. 5 It consists of. The management table in FIG. 7 is, for example, the RAM 17 in the system in FIG.
And is used by the CPU 15.

Here, the detailed information of each control terminal (sensor) S _{1 to} S _m is, for example, taking the control terminal (sensor) S ₂ as an example.
The sensor numbers and which are installed chamber names and the control terminal (sensor) S _2, data for interlocking control the control terminal (sensor) S ₂ is performed when alone for alarm (operation) ( normal interlock control data), and further, interlocking control of the present invention to be made by the control terminal (sensor) S ₂ and other control terminal and is equal to or greater than a predetermined number of the grouped by group alarm (operation) Data (specifically, a block number (group number) of a group including the control terminal (sensor S ₂ )) and the like.

[0047] Thus, in the management table of FIG. 7, the control terminal S ₁ to S _m, when the grouping is performed through the block number in the details of the detailed information table TB ₁ (group number) , the corresponding block in the control table TB ₂
Since the link is linked to the (group), the monitoring control unit 1 does not consider the grouping at first, and the states of all the control terminals (sensors) S _{1 to} S _m of this monitoring control system (the whether) sequentially examines, when there is alarm and control terminal (sensor), indexing block number of the control devices enrolled (sensor) (group number) from the detailed information table TB _1, detailed information tables TB _If the block number (group number) of the control terminal (sensor) that issued the alarm is registered in 1,
The control data of the block number (group number) is taken out from the control table TB _2, it is possible to perform synchronous control processing as shown in FIG. 6.

[0048] Incidentally, when creating the management table as shown in FIG. 7, the control table TB ₂ to register each control data to create a control table TB _2, also the detailed information table TB _1, the block number (group except where the number), and register the detailed information of each control terminal, to create a part of the detailed information table TB _1, and thereafter, the control table created to genus predetermined control terminal (sensor) number of the group, that is, automatically indexing the block number (group number) automatically registered as the block number (group number) to the details of the control terminal (sensor) of this detailed information table TB ₁ be able to.

That is, in order to avoid data creation errors and confusion in management, the data should be centrally managed. In this sense, the data creator directly deals mainly with the control table TB ₂ (control data ) Is desirably limited to
For detailed information table TB _1, and the like power-on or system reset, for example, based on the control table TB _2, automatically being created it is desired in the system. Thus, based on the control table TB _2, each sensor for each of the data in the detailed information table TB _1, in particular block number
If the (group number) is automatically expanded, centralized management can be realized.

When the data can be changed by the delivery system itself, it may be necessary to transfer a data table stored in a ROM or the like that is not easily rewritten to a RAM or the like that is easily rewritten. Therefore,
The above data expansion can be performed not only at the time of power-on or system reset, but also at the time of transferring a data table to the RAM.

In recent years, when creating customer data, a customer data creation tool using a personal computer or the like may be used so that even a person with little specialized knowledge can create the data without error. May have the above-mentioned data expansion function as a function of these devices.

In the example of FIG. 5, only the information (sensors S ₂ , S ₅ , S ₇ , S ₃₉ ) representing the individual control terminal that is a factor is registered as the factor control terminal information in the control table. However, as the factor control terminal information, it is also possible to register various types of information regarding the control terminal that is a factor. For example, when the monitoring control system is a multi-signal system or an analog system, as the factor control terminal information, in addition to the information indicating the individual control terminal, the alert level such as a warning display report, a fire report, and an interlock report is provided. Or
It is also possible to register including smoke density and ambient temperature. By registering such information as well, for example, at a low smoke density, alarms from a predetermined number or more of sensors are set as conditions for linked control of the controlled terminal. Even in the case of alerting of individual sensors, flexible and various interlocking control such as interlocking control of a controlled terminal can be performed.

In other words, it is possible to make the required factor actuation number variable according to the detection level of the control terminal (sensor) without setting it uniquely.

Further, in the example of FIG. 5, as the controlled terminal information, information representing the controlled terminal individual (the controlled terminal T ₁ ,
T ₅ , T ₆ , and T ₉ ) are registered, but it is also possible to register various types of information regarding the controlled terminal as the controlled terminal information. For example, information such as the attribute and characteristic of the controlled terminal or the importance of control can be registered.

In the above description, a fire detector, a fire door, a shutter and the like used in a disaster prevention system are taken as examples of the control terminal and the controlled terminal. However, the control terminal and the controlled terminal are used in a disaster prevention system. Any terminal can be used. For example, the control terminal may be a security sensor and the controlled terminal may be a controlled terminal used in a security system. In this case, the monitoring control system is a security system. If the controlled terminal is an air conditioning facility, this monitoring and control system becomes an air conditioning management system. In addition, when the controlled terminal uses an air-conditioning system whose transmission output is controlled in addition to the fire doors and shutters used in the disaster prevention system, the monitoring control system is a combined system of the disaster prevention system and the air conditioning management system. Become. Further, the monitoring control system may be constructed as an arbitrary type such as a P-type system (on-off type system) in addition to being constructed as the R-type system as described above. The present invention can be similarly applied to

In the above example, the controlled terminals T _{1 to} T ₃ are interlocked and controlled on condition that at least a predetermined number of sensors in the group, for example, two or more arbitrary sensors, have issued an alert. However, as an example of a predetermined number or more of the sensors, the controlled terminals T _{1 to} T ₃ may be interlocked and controlled on condition that all the sensors in the group have issued an alarm.

In the above-described example, for example, the control terminal group 2 and the controlled terminal group 3 which exist in one entire building, for example,
Are all classified as belonging to any group (that is, any group of G _{1 to} G _n ). Of the control terminal group 2 and the controlled terminal group 3, It is possible to group only the others and not the others. That is, the present invention provides a control terminal /
It is sufficient that any one of the controlled terminal groups 2 is divided into at least one group, and it is not necessary to classify all of the controlled terminals into each group.

Further, in the present invention, the grouping can be performed to include those other than the control terminal and the controlled terminal related to the interlocking control on the condition that a predetermined number or more of the control terminals are issued. In this case, among the control terminals and the controlled terminals that are divided into one group, those that are not involved in the interlocking control on condition that a predetermined number or more of the control terminals are issued are controlled as shown in FIG. Table TB ₁
Need not be registered as control data. That is, 1
It is not necessary to register all control terminals and controlled terminals in one group in the control table. In this case, for the control terminal and the controlled terminal not registered in the control table,
When the control terminal that is not registered in the control table issues a notification (activates), the process is not performed by the process illustrated in FIG. 6 and is different from the process illustrated in FIG. Normal interlocking control processing) is performed.

As described above, the grouping of the control terminal group 2 and the controlled terminal group 3 may be performed, for example, for both the control terminal and the controlled terminal included in one section. However, only the control terminals may be grouped. For example, in the third group number G ₃ of the control table in FIG. 5, the sensor _{S 2, S 5, S 7} , S
₃₉ is provided, for example, in one section (ie, although each sensor S ₂ , S ₅ , S ₇ , S ₃₉ is grouped together), the controlled terminals T ₁ , T ₅ ,
T ₆ and T ₉ may be outside this section
(That is, they do not have to be grouped together).

Further, in the above example, for example, a section in a building
Although (for example, a room) is used as a grouping unit, the grouping unit can be set arbitrarily. For example, one
If a sensor provided in one section and a sensor provided in a section adjacent to this section have a high degree of correlation, these sensors may be combined into one group.

A control terminal having a high degree of correlation as described above
Instead of grouping based on (sensors), control terminals (sensors) can be grouped based on one controlled terminal. That is, a predetermined number or more (plurality) of control terminals among a group of control terminals (sensor group) involved in the interlocking control of one controlled terminal with reference to one controlled terminal
It is also possible to configure such that the controlled terminal is interlocked when the (sensor) issues (activates).

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a control terminal group involved in the interlocking control of one controlled terminal. In the example of FIG.
One controlled terminal is a shutter T ₃ , and a group of control terminals involved in the interlocking control of the shutter T ₃ is a group of sensors S ₂ ,
S ₃ and S ₁₂ are shown.

In this case, for one controlled terminal (shutter T ₃ ), a group of control terminals (sensor groups S ₂ , S ₃ , S ₁₂ ) involved in the interlocking control can be grouped into one group. it can. The interlocking control in this case can be performed using a management table as shown in FIG. 7 and / or a management table as shown in FIG.

Here, the management table shown in FIG. 9 indicates, for each of the controlled terminals to be controlled in the monitoring control system, a group of control terminals (a sensing terminal) which is a factor for controlling the controlled terminals in a linked manner. Instrument group) and the number of necessary factor actuations are set. For example, when attention is focused on the controlled terminal T _3, with respect to the controlled terminal T _3, sensor groups S ₂ in the example of FIG. 8, S _3, S ₁₂ is set as a factor controlling terminal group,
"2" is set as the number of necessary factor operations. In addition,
The management table as shown in FIG. 9 is, for example, developed in the RAM 17 of the system in FIG.

When a management table as shown in FIG. 9 is used,
For example, when paying attention to the controlled terminal T ₃ , the monitoring control unit 1 transmits the controlled terminal T ₃ when any _{two of} the sensor groups S ₂ , S ₃ , and S ₁₂ emit (operate). ₃ can be interlocked.

It should be noted that all the control terminals (sensors) of this control terminal group are notified as a predetermined number or more of control terminal groups (sensor groups) involved in the interlocking control of one controlled terminal.
When (operating), the controlled terminal may be configured to perform interlocking control. In this case, in the management table of FIG. Therefore, it is not always necessary to provide an item of the necessary factor operation number.

The interlock control method of the present invention as described above
