A method for generating the trial operation sequence will be described later. The test run data analysis unit 35 is an analysis unit that analyzes the test run data stored in the storage unit 33.

  Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described. First, the configuration information collection process will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a configuration information collection processing procedure in the air-conditioning monitoring system according to the present embodiment. First, the communication terminal 2 receives an instruction to collect configuration information from the operator through the input unit 24 (step S1). When receiving the configuration information collection instruction from the operator, the input unit 24 notifies the sequence execution unit 23 that the configuration information collection instruction has been input.

  When notified that the configuration information collection instruction has been input, the sequence execution unit 23 reads the configuration information collection sequence stored in the storage unit 21 and starts executing the configuration information collection sequence (step S2). .

  The sequence execution unit 23 determines whether all the commands defined by the configuration information collection sequence have been transmitted (step S3). When all the commands defined by the configuration information collection sequence have not been transmitted (No at Step S3), the sequence execution unit 23 becomes the transmission time of the command not transmitted among the commands defined by the configuration information collection sequence. It is determined whether or not (step S4). When the transmission time is reached (Yes in step 4), the sequence execution unit 23 transmits a command corresponding to the transmission time to the destination address (step S5) and receives a response corresponding to the command (step S6). Return to step S3. The response received in step S6 includes configuration information of each of the air conditioners 4-1 to 4-n that has received the command.

  In step S5, specifically, the sequence execution unit 23 instructs the air conditioning network connection unit 22 to transmit a command corresponding to the transmission time to the destination address corresponding to the command, and the air conditioning network connection unit 22 Sends a command according to the instructions. In Step S <b> 6, the sequence execution unit 23 receives responses from the air conditioners 4-1 to 4-n via the air conditioning network connection unit 22. In communication terminal 2, display part 25 may display composition information, if the response containing composition information is received from air conditioners 4-1 to 4-n.

  When it is determined in step S4 that the transmission time has not come (No in step 4), the sequence execution unit 23 repeats step S4. If it is determined in step S3 that all commands defined by the configuration information collection sequence have been transmitted (Yes in step S3), the sequence execution unit 23 instructs the data compression / decompression unit 26 to compress the configuration information, and the data compression / The decompression unit 26 compresses the configuration information (step S7).

  Next, the data compression / decompression unit 26 transmits the compressed configuration information to the server 3 via the wide area network connection unit 27 (step S8). When the server 3 receives the compressed configuration information via the wide area network 6, the server 3 expands the compressed configuration information and stores it in the storage unit 33 (step S9). Specifically, when the data compression / decompression unit 32 of the server 3 receives the compressed configuration information via the wide area network connection unit 31, the data compression / decompression unit 32 expands the compressed configuration information and stores the expanded configuration information in the storage unit 33. To store. Thus, the configuration information collection process ends. In the above description, the communication terminal 2 compresses the configuration information and transmits it to the server 3. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the communication terminal 2 transmits the configuration information to the server 3 without compressing it. May be.

  Next, the trial run execution process of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a test run execution process procedure according to the present embodiment. First, the communication terminal 2 receives an instruction to start a trial run from the operator through the input unit 24 (step S11). When the input unit 24 receives an instruction to start a trial run from an operator, the input unit 24 notifies the sequence execution unit 23 that an instruction to start a trial run has been input.

  When the sequence execution unit 23 is notified that an instruction to start a trial run has been input, the sequence execution unit 23 requests the server to generate a trial run sequence (step S12). Specifically, the sequence execution unit 23 generates request information for requesting generation of a test run sequence, and transmits the request information to the server 3 via the wide area network connection unit 27.

  When the trial operation sequence generation unit 34 of the server 3 receives the request information via the wide area network connection unit 31, it is based on the configuration information stored in the storage unit 33 and a sequence generation algorithm which is a predetermined algorithm. Then, a test run sequence is generated (step S13). The trial run sequence includes a command, a destination address corresponding to the command, and transmission time information that is information indicating a transmission time corresponding to the command.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a sequence generation algorithm for generating a trial run sequence and an example of a trial run sequence. In the example shown in FIG. 4, in the configuration information, the address “1” has the model information “outdoor unit”, the group information “1”, the addresses “2” and “3” have the model information. Is an indoor unit and the group information is defined to be “1”. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 4, in the configuration information, the address “4” has the model information “outdoor unit”, the group information “2”, the addresses “5” and “6” It is specified that the model information is an indoor unit and the group information is “2”.

  Further, in the example shown in FIG. 4, the sequence generation algorithm is based on the condition that indoor units in the same group, that is, the same group belongs, are operated one by one for 5 minutes, and different groups are operated in parallel. It is composed of two conditions: good. Based on the configuration information and these conditions, as shown at the bottom of FIG. 4, the operation command is transmitted to the destination address “2” and the destination address “5” at the transmission time 0:00 (0 minute 0 second). Then, a stop command is transmitted to the destination address “2” and the destination address “5” at the transmission time 05:00, and an operation command is transmitted to the destination address “3” and the destination address “6” at the transmission time 05:00. Then, a test operation sequence is generated in which a stop command is transmitted to the destination address “3” and the destination address “6” at the transmission time 10:00. Here, the transmission time is shown as a relative time when the start time of the test run is set to 00:00. In the example of FIG. 4, a plurality of trial operation sequence candidates that satisfy the sequence generation algorithm are conceivable, but which of the plurality of candidates is set as the trial operation sequence is determined by an arbitrary method. For example, for all groups, first, conditions are set such that one indoor unit in each group is simultaneously operated and the operation is performed in ascending order of addresses.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 3, next, the data compression / decompression unit 32 of the server 3 compresses the test run sequence and transmits it to the communication terminal 2 (step S14). Specifically, the data compression / decompression unit 32 receives the test operation sequence from the test operation sequence generation unit 34, compresses the test operation sequence, and transmits the compressed test operation sequence to the communication terminal 2 via the wide area network connection unit 31.

  Next, the communication terminal 2 expands the compressed trial run sequence received from the server 3 and starts executing the decompressed trial run sequence (step S15). Specifically, the data compression / decompression unit 26 decompresses the received compressed trial operation sequence via the wide area network connection unit 27 and passes the decompressed trial operation sequence to the sequence execution unit 23.

  The sequence execution unit 23 determines whether or not all commands specified by the trial operation sequence have been transmitted (step S16). When all the commands specified by the trial run sequence have not been transmitted (No at Step S16), the sequence execution unit 23 determines whether or not the transmission time of the command not transmitted among the commands specified by the trial run sequence has come. Judgment is made (step S17). When the transmission time comes (step 17 Yes), the sequence execution unit 23 transmits a command corresponding to the transmission time to the destination address (step S18), and receives a response corresponding to the command (step S19). Return to step S16. The response received in step S19 includes trial operation data acquired in each of the air conditioners 4-1 to 4-n that has received the command. In addition, in the communication terminal 2, the display part 25 may display test operation data, if the response containing test operation data is received from the air conditioners 4-1 to 4-n.

  If it is determined in step S17 that the transmission time is not reached (No in step 17), the sequence execution unit 23 repeats step S17. If it is determined in step S16 that all commands defined by the trial operation sequence have been transmitted (Yes in step S16), the sequence execution unit 23 compresses the trial operation data and transmits it to the server 3 (step S20). Specifically, the sequence execution unit 23 instructs the data compression / decompression unit 26 to compress the trial operation data, and the data compression / decompression unit 26 compresses the trial operation data and outputs it to the wide area network connection unit 27. The wide area network connection unit 27 transmits the compressed trial operation data to the server 3.

  When the server 3 receives the compressed trial operation data via the wide area network 6, the server 3 expands the compressed trial operation data and stores it in the storage unit 33 (step S21). Specifically, when the data compression / decompression unit 32 of the server 3 receives the compressed test operation data via the wide area network connection unit 31, the data compression / decompression unit 32 expands the compressed test operation data and stores the expanded test operation data in the storage unit 33. To store. Thus, the trial run execution process ends. In the above description, the server 3 compresses and transmits the test run sequence to the communication terminal 2, but is not limited to this, and the server 3 transmits the test run sequence to the communication terminal 2 without compressing it. Also good. In the above description, the communication terminal 2 compresses the test run data and transmits it to the server 3. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the communication terminal 2 sends the test run data to the server 3 without compressing it. May be.

  Next, the trial operation data analysis process of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the test run data analysis processing procedure of the present embodiment. The test run data analysis process can be started at an arbitrary timing after the test run data is stored in the storage unit 33. For example, it is automatically performed after the trial run execution process shown in FIG. First, the test operation data analysis unit 35 of the server 3 analyzes the test operation data based on the test operation data stored in the storage unit 33 and the analysis algorithm that is a predetermined algorithm, and the test operation result that is the analysis result is analyzed. Generate (step S31). The test operation data analysis unit 35 outputs the test operation result to the data compression / decompression unit 32.

  Any algorithm may be used as the analysis algorithm. For example, a normal range is determined in advance for each item of the test operation data, and the normal range is stored in the storage unit 33. Then, the test operation data analysis unit 35 determines whether the value of the test operation data is within a normal range for each item, and sets the determination result as the test operation result. For example, when the set temperature of the air conditioning control in the trial operation is predetermined, and the item of the trial operation data is a sensor value that is a value measured by the temperature sensor, the normal range is X ° C or more and Y ° C or less (X < Y). The test operation data analysis unit 35 determines whether or not the value measured by the temperature sensor in the test operation data is within a normal range, and uses the determination result as the test operation result. In this case, the test run result includes a determination result (for example, OK or Fail) for each item. In addition, when the determination result is not normal, that is, a result of abnormality, information indicating a candidate for the cause of abnormality may be included as a test operation result. Information indicating a candidate for the cause of abnormality is determined in advance for each item. By including information indicating abnormal factor candidates in the test operation result, information indicating abnormal factor candidates can be displayed on the communication terminal 2 in step S33 described later, and the operator can display the information on the communication terminal 2. It is possible to quickly perform a recovery operation for an abnormality based on the information obtained.

  The test operation data analysis unit 35 compresses the test operation result and transmits it to the communication terminal 2 via the wide area network connection unit 31 (step S32). When receiving the compressed test run result, the communication terminal 2 expands the compressed test run result and displays it on the display unit 25 (step S33). Specifically, when the data compression / decompression unit 26 of the communication terminal 2 receives the compressed test operation result via the wide area network connection unit 27, the data compression / decompression unit 26 expands the compressed test operation result and outputs it to the display unit 25. The display unit 25 displays the test operation result.

  Next, the hardware configuration of the air conditioning system of the present embodiment will be described. The air conditioning network connection unit 42, the air conditioning network connection unit 22, the wide area network connection unit 27, and the wide area network connection unit 31 are a receiver and a transmitter. The configuration information storage unit 41, the storage unit 21, and the storage unit 33 are memories. Here, the memory is nonvolatile or volatile, such as RAM (Random Access Memory), ROM (Read Only Memory), flash memory, EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), and the like. This includes a semiconductor memory, a magnetic disk, a flexible disk, an optical disk, a compact disk, a mini disk, a DVD (Digital Versatile Disk), and the like.

  The input unit 24 of the communication terminal 2 is a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, or the like. The display unit 25 is a display, a liquid crystal panel, or the like.

  The sequence execution unit 23 and the data compression / decompression unit 26 of the communication terminal 2 are realized by a processing circuit. This processing circuit may be a processing circuit that is dedicated hardware, or may be a control circuit including a processor. In the case of dedicated hardware, the processing circuit is, for example, a single circuit, a composite circuit, a programmed processor, a parallel programmed processor, an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), or these Is a combination.

  When the processing circuit for realizing the sequence execution unit 23 and the data compression / decompression unit 26 is realized by a control circuit including a processor, this control circuit is, for example, a control circuit 200 having a configuration shown in FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the control circuit 200 according to the present embodiment. The control circuit 200 includes a processor 201 and a memory 202. The processor is a CPU (Central Processing Unit, central processing unit, processing unit, arithmetic unit, microprocessor, microcomputer, processor, DSP (Digital Signal Processor)) or the like. A memory that implements the storage unit 21 may be included in the memory 202.

  When the processing circuit that implements the sequence execution unit 23 and the data compression / decompression unit 26 is the control circuit 200 including a processor, the processor 201 performs processing of the sequence execution unit 23 and the data compression / decompression unit 26 stored in the memory 202. Is realized by reading and executing a program in which is described. The memory 202 is also used as a temporary memory in each process executed by the processor 201.

  The data compression / decompression unit 32, the trial operation sequence generation unit 34, and the trial operation data analysis unit 35 of the server 3 are realized by a processing circuit. This processing circuit may be a processing circuit that is dedicated hardware, or may be a control circuit including a processor. In the case of dedicated hardware, the processing circuit is, for example, a single circuit, a composite circuit, a programmed processor, a parallel programmed processor, an ASIC, an FPGA, or a combination thereof.

  When the processing circuit that implements the data compression / decompression unit 32, the trial operation sequence generation unit 34, and the trial operation data analysis unit 35 of the server 3 is realized by a control circuit including a processor, the control circuit has a configuration shown in FIG. Circuit 200.

  When the processing circuit that implements the data compression / decompression unit 32, the trial operation sequence generation unit 34, and the trial operation data analysis unit 35 is the control circuit 200 including a processor, the processor 201 stores the data compression / decompression unit 32 stored in the memory 202. This is realized by reading and executing a program in which the processes of the test run sequence generation unit 34 and the test run data analysis unit 35 are described. The memory 202 is also used as a temporary memory in each process executed by the processor 201.

  As described above, in the air conditioning monitoring system 100 according to the present embodiment, the server 3 automatically generates a trial operation sequence based on the configuration information of the air conditioning system, and the communication terminal 2 executes the trial operation sequence. For this reason, compared with the case where the operator collects the configuration information, formulates a trial run plan, and performs the trial run, the number of man-hours required for the worker's work can be reduced and an erroneous trial run is performed by the worker. Can also be prevented. Further, the operator can designate the timing for executing each command by setting the sequence generation algorithm to a desired content. For this reason, it may be possible to perform a trial run at an appropriate timing according to various situations, such as a case where an operator wants to perform an immediate trial run and confirm the result on the spot, or a case where he wants to confirm the result of the trial run in another place. As a result, work efficiency can be expected and a rough estimate of work end time can be obtained.

  In addition, the operator can know the result of the trial run immediately after the trial run by confirming the trial run result displayed on the communication terminal 2. In addition, by including information indicating an abnormal factor candidate in the trial operation result, it is possible to assist the operator in identifying the abnormal factor when the test operation result is abnormal. Moreover, since the test run results are collected in the server 3, any worker can easily refer to the past test run results. As a result, even when the maintenance work that follows is performed by an operator different from the operator who performed the test operation, the test operation result can be referred to in the maintenance operation, and the efficiency of the maintenance operation can be expected.

  The configuration described in the above embodiment shows an example of the contents of the present invention, and can be combined with another known technique, and can be combined with other configurations without departing from the gist of the present invention.
