Description

Building Automation System {Building Automation System}

The present invention relates to a building automation system, and more particularly, to maintain an economical and stable office environment through monitoring and efficient program control of the building's power/lighting equipment, and real-time monitoring and control of power management and control in the building. It relates to a building automation system implemented to perform central/individual (area) monitoring and control of lighting fixtures in a building.

Building equipment (equipment equipment) such as air conditioners, boilers, or pumps to control the temperature, humidity, or cleanliness of indoor air to maintain it in a state suitable for the purpose of indoor use in buildings such as office buildings, public institution buildings, or apartments has been built A Building Automation System (BAS) for automatically controlling these building equipment is installed in the building.

Building control in a general building automatic control system (BAS) is divided into a central control device (central control device, CCMS, Central Control and Monitoring System) and a remote control device (direct digital controller, DDC, Direct Digital Controller). The DDC collects various data on TV lighting, lights, and room temperature in the building, and controls air conditioning, air conditioning, heating, pumps, fans, and electric power.

DDC or PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), which is a general BAS field control device (remote control panel), has a very complicated overall connection structure of sensors in a building to monitor the building environment. The cables connected to the sensors of each facility have a structure in which they are directly connected to the DDC card inside the DDC panel through a cable duct, cable tray, cable buried pipe, etc. The cables tangled like a spider's web inside the panel are directly connected to the sensors that usually use 2 to 4 strands, and these sensors are usually installed in ducts for air conditioning, piping for heating and cooling, and devices for supplying ventilation and heat sources.

Sensors used for automatic building control are individually connected using cables to transmit electrical signals to a panel in which several digital direct devices such as DDC are assembled. Since the inside of the panel is connected with various sensors to several digital direct devices and the cables are tangled like a spider's web, there is a problem that the size is large and maintenance is difficult.

On the other hand, the above-mentioned background art is technical information that the inventor possessed for the derivation of the present invention or acquired in the process of derivation of the present invention, and it cannot be said that it is necessarily a known technique disclosed to the general public before the filing of the present invention. .
