5 is a flowchart illustrating a monitoring method according to the present invention.

Referring to Figure 5, the monitoring method according to the present invention, the outlet ID grant step (S10), socket pair and Haiti equipment recognition step (S20), socket power value detection step (S30), socket power value change determination step (S40) , Reference range determination step S50, failure analysis step S60, and result output step S70.

Outlet ID grant step (S10) is a step in which the information of the pair of outlets 160 connected to the Haiti equipment 11 is input to the monitoring server 110. In the outlet ID granting step (S10), the monitoring server 110 is paired with the outlet ID transmitted from the outlet 160 operating according to the connection of the outlet ID or the Haiti equipment 11 directly input by the user ( 160 and matching information is stored.

Socket pair and Haiti equipment recognition step (S20) is a step in which the socket pair (160-) for each of the Haiti equipment (11) is defined. In the socket pair and Haitian equipment recognition step (S20), the outlet 160 transmits channel information about the socket 160 to which the power input terminal 111 of the Haitian equipment 11 is connected to the monitoring server 110, or to a user. By the socket server (161a-161b, 161c-161d) information is input to the monitoring server 110. In addition, the ID of the Haiti equipment 11 connected to the socket pairs 161a-161b and 161c-161d is stored in the monitoring server 110.

Outlet 160 and socket pairs (161a-161b, 161c-161d) coupled with the equipment rack 10 and the Haitian equipment 11 by the outlet ID granting step (S10) and the socket pair and Haitian equipment recognition step (S20). This is defined, the monitoring server 110 performs the monitoring by the defined information.

Socket power value detection step (S30) is the internal circuit portion 1600 of the outlet 160 connected to the Haiti equipment 11 measures the current of each socket 161, the power value, power factor supplied to the Haiti equipment 11 The socket power value is calculated by measuring a monitoring element such as voltage and power. The calculated socket power value is transmitted to the monitoring server 110 through the communication line 30.

The socket power value calculated in the socket power value detection step S30 basically includes a power value for each socket 160, and may additionally include power factor, voltage, current, and frequency information. In particular, the internal circuit unit 1600 adds the channel information and the outlet ID to the socket power value to transfer the socket power value to the monitoring server 110. In addition, the socket power value transmitted to the monitoring server 110 in the socket power value detection step (S30) may be a socket power value for one socket 161, a plurality of sockets 160 configured in the outlet 160 The socket power values may be collected, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In addition, the socket power value detection step S30 may be performed by a request of the monitoring server 110.

The following socket power value change determination step (S40) to result output step (S70) are steps related to operation state determination, which are shown by subdividing the operation state determination step.

The socket power value change determination step (S40) is a step in which the monitoring server 110 detects the socket pairs 161a-161b and 161c-161d having different socket power values. In the socket power value change determination step (S40), the monitoring server 110 receives the socket power values of the sockets 161 paired for each Haiti device 11, respectively, and checks the difference between the socket power values. In the socket power value change determination step (S40), the monitoring server 110 uniformly increases or decreases the socket power values of the socket pairs 161a-161b and 161c-161d, that is, the socket pairs 161a-161b and 161c-161d. It is determined whether the socket power value for each socket is uniform.

 In addition, the monitoring server 110 determines that the socket power values of the socket pairs 161a-161b and 161c-161d are different from each other by a predetermined ratio, and performs a failure analysis step (S60). On the other hand, the monitoring server 110 performs the reference range determination step (S50) when the socket power value of the socket pairs (161a-161b, 161c-161d) increases or decreases to the same size.

In order to secure the stability of the operation of the Haitian equipment 11, each of the different power is supplied through a pair of power input terminals 111. This is to ensure the operation of the Haitian equipment 11 even when a problem occurs in one of the power supply or when one of the power supply units (not shown) of the Haitian equipment 11 occurs.

Since the Haiti equipment 11 divides and uses a pair of power internally, each half of the power is supplied through the pair of power input terminals 111. Therefore, the monitoring server 110 is Haiti equipment 11 that uses the corresponding socket pair (161a-161b, 161c-161d) when one of the power supply, that is, the socket power value of any one of the pair of sockets 161 increases. The abnormality of the power supply unit or the abnormality of the power supply line may be detected, and in the socket power value change determination step (S40), the monitoring server 110 determines whether the socket power values of the socket pairs 161a-161b and 161c-161d are unbalanced. Will be judged.

In the reference range determination step S50, when the socket power values of the socket pairs 161a-161b and 161c-161d are increased or decreased by the same size, the monitoring server 110 of the sock pairs 161a-161b and 161c-161d is used. It is a step of determining whether the socket power value changes within a predetermined reference range.

In the reference range determination step (S50), the monitoring server 110 determines whether the socket power value is the power value between the minimum power value and the maximum power value that the Haiti equipment 11 operates normally, that is, between the reference ranges. In addition, the monitoring server 110 determines that the socket power value is not a failure when the power value is within the reference range, and re-executes the socket power value detecting step S30 and subsequent steps. On the other hand, when the socket power value is out of the power value within the reference range, the monitoring server 11 determines that a failure has occurred, and performs a failure analysis (S60) step.

Failure analysis step (S60) is the socket power value change determination step (S40) and the reference range determination step (S50), if the socket power value does not change evenly or exceeds the reference range monitoring server 110 is broken It is determined that this has occurred, and analyzing the failure details.

In the failure analysis step (S60), the monitoring server 110 determines the failure details for the uneven socket power values of the socket pairs 161a-161b and 161c-161d and power values exceeding the reference range, respectively. Specifically, the monitoring server 110 checks the socket power value transmitted from the pair of outlets 160 for each socket 161 of the socket pairs 161a to 161b and 161c to 161d, and compares the socket pairs 161a to 161b, Check if power is supplied through 161c-161d).

As a result of the check, when power is not supplied to any one of the socket pairs 161a-161b and 161c-161d, it is determined whether the outlet 160 having the corresponding socket 161 is abnormal or the power supply line 20 is abnormal. That is, the monitoring server 110 supplies power to the other socket 160 of the outlet 160 having the socket 161 which is not supplied with the power among the socket pairs 161a-161b and 161c-161d having the power imbalance. It is determined whether the outlet 160 is broken or the power supply line is broken.

In addition, the monitoring server 110 is supplied to all of the socket pair (161a-161b, 161c-161d) but when the difference in the socket power value is large compared to the other socket power value of the same outlet 160 outlet 160 Determination of the abnormality of the, according to the determination result is determined as a failure of the outlet 160 or Haiti equipment (11). Similarly, when the socket power value of the socket pairs 161a-161b and 161c-161d exceeds a predetermined maximum power value and a minimum power value, the outlet 160 compares the power, voltage, and current values of the other sockets 161. Or it will determine the failure of the Haitian equipment (11).

In the result output step (S70), the monitoring server 110 outputs the failure history analyzed in the failure analysis step (S60) to provide to the user. In this case, the monitoring server 110 controls the display unit 1633 of the interface 163 of the outlet 160 having the socket in which the failure occurs, and also causes the channel number of the socket 161 to be blinked. It outputs, through which the user or administrator can easily find the outlet 160 has a failure and can take action.

Such a monitoring system having a smart outlet of the present invention has a feature different from the conventional power-saving function-oriented outlet. Specifically, when using a conventional smart outlet has a function of forcibly shutting off the power when using the standby power state or power above the set power. Therefore, in the case of the conventional smart outlet, when the load of the Haiti equipment used for the Haiti equipment is reduced or when the power of the set power is used, the operation of the Haiti equipment 11 may be inhibited by cutting off the power.

Or, the conventional smart outlet is limited to the function of simply transmitting the power value consumed through the outlet to the management system.
