The invention relates to a method for operating transmitter and receiver units in a control system for one or several rooms in a building. In order to ensure power-optimized activation for each receiver unit in the control system, one or each receiver unit is activated at a specific interval in time, whereby said interval in time is synchronized with a transmission cycle of a corresponding transmission unit. One or each transmission unit transmits a synchronization signal to one or each receiver unit, containing information relating to the interval in time when data signals are transmitted.

Description

Verfahren zum Betreiben von Sende- und Empfangseinrichtungen in einem Leitsystem für einen oder mehrere Räume eines Gebäudes Method for operating transmitting and receiving devices in a control system for one or more rooms in a building
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betreiben von Sende- und Empfai gseinrichtungen in einem Leitsystem für einen oder mehrere Räume eines Gebäudes gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a method for operating transmitters and receivers in a control system for one or more rooms of a building according to the preamble of claim 1.
Die Steuerung bzw. Regelung der Temperatur eines oder mehrerer Räume eines Gebäudes erfolgt üblicherweise mit Hilfe von Leitsystemen. Die Leitsysteme verfügen über mindestens eine Zentrale und über mindestens zwei mit der Zentrale in Verbindung stehende Komponenten. Bei den Komponenten handelt es sich u.a. um Temperaturregler, Heizeinrichtungen, Beleuchtungseimichtungen und dergleichen. Zum Datenaustausch zwischen der Zentrale und den Komponenten verfugen dieselben über Sendeeinrichtungen und/oder Empfangseinrichtungen.The control or regulation of the temperature of one or more rooms in a building is usually carried out with the aid of control systems. The control systems have at least one control center and at least two components connected to the control center. The components include temperature regulators, heaters, lighting fixtures and the like. To exchange data between the control center and the components, they have transmission devices and / or reception devices.
Damit ein sicherer Datenaustausch zwischen den Sendeeinrichtungen und den Empfangseinrichtungen gewährleistet ist, müßte eine Empfangseinrichtungen prinzipiell dauernd eingeschaltet sein, was jedoch einen hohen Energieverbrauch zur Folge hätte. Bei batteriegespeisten Empfangseinrichtungen ist dies besonders nachteilhaft, da in diesem Fall die zur Speisung der Empfangseinrichtung eingesetzte Batterie innerhalb kurzer Zeit entladen wäre.In order for a secure data exchange between the transmitting devices and the receiving devices to be guaranteed, a receiving device would in principle have to be switched on continuously, which would, however, result in high energy consumption. This is particularly disadvantageous in the case of battery-powered receiving devices, since in this case the battery used to supply the receiving device would be discharged within a short time.
Hiervon ausgehend liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung das Problem zugrunde, ein energiesparendes und effizientes Verfahren zum Betreiben von Sende- und Empfangseinrichtungen in einem Leitsystem für einen oder mehrere Räume eines Gebäudes zu schaffen. Zur Lösung dieses Problems ist das eingangs genannte Verfahren durch die Merkamle des Anspruchs 1 gekennzeicl.net.Proceeding from this, the present invention addresses the problem of creating an energy-saving and efficient method for operating transmitting and receiving devices in a control system for one or more rooms in a building. To solve this problem, the method mentioned at the outset is characterized by the feature of claim 1.
Bevorzugte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen und der Beschreibung. Nachfolgend wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert. In der Zeichnung zeigt:Preferred developments of the invention result from the subclaims and the description. An exemplary embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings. The drawing shows:
Figur 1 ein Blockschaltbild eines Leitsystems, undFigure 1 is a block diagram of a control system, and
Figur 2 schematisierte Aktivierungszustände einer erfindungsgemäß betriebenen Sendeeinrichtung und Empfangseinrichtung.Figure 2 shows schematic activation states of a transmitting device and receiving device operated according to the invention.
Mit dem in der Figur 1 dargestellten Leitsystem wird ein Temperaturniveau in einem oder mehreren Räumen eines Gebäudes individuell geregelt bzw. gesteuert. Darüber hinaus wird mit einem derartigen Leitsystem auch eine Steuerung der Beleuchtung sowie eine Steuerung der Rolläden durchgeführt.With the control system shown in Figure 1, a temperature level in one or more rooms of a building is individually regulated or controlled. In addition, such a control system also controls the lighting and controls the shutters.
Figur 1 zeigt den Aufbau eines Leitsystems mit einer Zentrale 10 und mehreren Komponenten. Die Zentrale 10 wird auch als Apartment Manager bezeichnet. Bei den Komponenten handelt es sich um unterschiedliche Baugruppen. So sind Temperaturregler 1 1 vorgesehen, mit Hilfe derer das Temperaturniveau in einem Raum überwachbar ist und die der Sollwert-Einstellung des Temperaturniveaus über ein entsprechendes Einstellelement 12 dienen.Figure 1 shows the structure of a control system with a control center 10 and several components. The head office 10 is also referred to as an apartment manager. The components are different assemblies. Thus, temperature controllers 11 are provided, with the aid of which the temperature level in a room can be monitored and which are used for setting the setpoint of the temperature level via a corresponding setting element 12.
Des weiteren sind als Komponenten Heizeinrichtungen 13 vorgesehen. Figur 1 zeigt schematisiert als Heizeinrichtungen 13 elektronische Heizkörperventile- mit Hilfe derer die Heizleistung bzw. Wärmeabstrahlung sogenannter Radiatorenheizkörper eingestellt werden kann. Es ist jedoch möglich, beliebige Heizeinrichtungen vorzusehen. Figur 1 zeigt exemplarisch einen Fußbodenheizungs-Regler 14 zur Einstellung der Heizleistung einer Fußbodenheizung. Als weitere Komponenten des Leitsystems sind Beleuchtungseinrichtungen 15 sowie Rolläden 16 gezeigt. Des weiteren sind Heizkosten-Verteiler 17 vorgesehen, mit Hilfe derer die von den Heizeinrichtungen 13 aufgebrachte Heizleistung überwacht und ausgewertet werden kann.Furthermore, heating devices 13 are provided as components. Figure 1 shows schematically as heating devices 13 electronic radiator valves - with the help of which the heating power or heat radiation so-called radiator radiators can be adjusted. However, it is possible to provide any heating devices. Figure 1 shows an example of an underfloor heating controller 14 for setting the heating power of an underfloor heating. Lighting devices 15 and roller shutters 16 are shown as further components of the control system. Furthermore, heating cost allocators 17 are provided, with the aid of which the heating power applied by the heating devices 13 can be monitored and evaluated.
Bei dem in Figur 1 gezeigten Leitsystem stehen die Komponenten 11, 13, 14, 15, 16 und 17 mit der Zentrale 10 über Funk in Verbindung. Die Zentrale 10 tauscht demnach mit den Komponenten 11, 13, 14, 15, 16 und 17 Informationen bzw. Daten aus. Der Datenaustausch ist in Figur 1 durch Pfeile 18 dargestellt. Die Richtung der Pfeile 18 gibt die Signalflußrichtung der Datensignale zwischen den Komponenten 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 sowie der Zentrale 10 wieder. Daraus wird deutlich, daß hier eine unidirektionale Signalübertragung vorliegt.In the control system shown in FIG. 1, the components 11, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 are connected to the control center 10 by radio. The control center 10 accordingly exchanges information or data with the components 11, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17. The data exchange is shown in FIG. 1 by arrows 18. The direction of the arrows 18 represents the signal flow direction of the data signals between the components 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and the control center 10. It is clear from this that there is a unidirectional signal transmission.
Zum Senden der Signale sind jeder Komponente 11 sowie der Zentrale 10 Sendeeinrichtungen 19 zugeordnet. Zum Empfangen von Signalen sind den Komponenten 13, 14, 15, 16 sowie der Zentrale 10 Empfangseinrichtungen 20 zugeordnet. Im Hinblick auf den genauen Aufbau der Sendeeinrichtungen 19 sowie Empfangseinrichtungen 20 sowie im Hinblick auf eine kollisionsfreie Signalübertragung zwischen den Komponenten 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, und der Zentrale 10 wird auf die für die gleiche Ajαmelderin eingereichte Patentanmeldung mit dem amtlichen Aktenzeichen 197 57 235 verwiesen.Each component 11 and the control center 10 are assigned transmitters 19 for sending the signals. To receive signals, the components 13, 14, 15, 16 and the control center 10 are assigned receiving devices 20. With regard to the exact structure of the transmitting devices 19 and receiving devices 20 and with regard to a collision-free signal transmission between the components 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and the control center 10, the official patent application for the same applicant is filed with the official Ref. 197 57 235.
Die energieoptimierte Aktivierung der Empfangseinrichtungen 20 erfolgt nach dem im folgenden in Verbindung mit Figur 2 beschriebenen erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren. So zeigt Figur 2 drei schematisierte Aktivierungsverläufe 21, 22 und 23. Bei dem Aktivierungsverlauf 21 handelt es sich um den Aktivierungsverlauf für die Sendeeinrichtungen 19. Beim Aktivierungsverlauf 22 handelt es sich um ein Aktivierungsverlauf für die Empfangseinrichtungen 20 während eines sogenannten Normalbetriebs. Beim Aktivierungsverlauf 23 hingegen handelt es sich um einen Aktivierungsverlauf für die Empfangseinrichtungen 20 während eines sogenannten Synchronisationsbetriebs . Wie Figur 2 entnommen werden kann, wird eine Empfangseinrichtung 20 nicht durchgehend aktiviert, sondern in vorbestimmten Zeitabständen für eine vorbestimmteThe energy-optimized activation of the receiving devices 20 takes place according to the inventive method described below in connection with FIG. 2. 2 shows three schematic activation profiles 21, 22 and 23. The activation profile 21 is the activation profile for the transmitting devices 19. The activation profile 22 is an activation profile for the receiving devices 20 during a so-called normal operation. The activation curve 23, on the other hand, is an activation curve for the receiving devices 20 during a so-called synchronization operation. As can be seen in FIG. 2, a receiving device 20 is not activated continuously, but rather at predetermined time intervals for a predetermined one
Zeitdauer. So kann dem zeitlichen Aktivierungsverlauf 22 für eine EmpfangseinrichtungDuration. Thus, the time course of activation 22 for a receiving device
20 im Normalbetrieb entnommen werden, daß die Empfangseinrichtung 20 z.B. alle vier Minuten für eine Zeitdauer von z.B. 300 Millisekunden aktiviert wird. Diese Aktivierungszeiten der Empfangseinrichtung 20 sind mit einem Sendezyklus für Datensignale einer entsprechenden Sendeeinrichtung 19 synchronisiert. Die von der Sendeeinrichtung 19 gesendeten und von der Empfangseinrichtung 20 zu empfangenden Datensignale sind im Aktivierungsverlauf 21 mit N bezeichnet. Beim Vergleich der Aktivierungsverläufe 21 und 22 ergibt sich umnittelbar, daß der Zeitabstand und die Zeitdauer zur Aktivierung der Empfangseinrichtung mit dem Zeitabstand und der Sendedauer der Datensignale der Sendeeinrichtung 19 synchronisiert ist.20 can be seen in normal operation that the receiving device 20 e.g. every four minutes for a period of e.g. 300 milliseconds is activated. These activation times of the receiving device 20 are synchronized with a transmission cycle for data signals from a corresponding transmission device 19. The data signals transmitted by the transmitting device 19 and to be received by the receiving device 20 are designated N in the activation course 21. When comparing the activation curves 21 and 22, it can be seen that the time interval and the time period for activating the receiving device is synchronized with the time interval and the transmission time of the data signals of the transmission device 19.
Zur Synchronisation überträgt die Sendeeinrichtung 19 der entsprechenden Empfangseinrichtung 20 ein Synchronisationssignal, welches im zeitlichen Aktivierungsverlauf 21 der Figur 2 mit S bezeichnet ist. Das Synchronisationssignal S enthält hierzu Informationen über den Zeitabstand der von der Sendeeinrichtung 19 übermittelten Datensignale N.For synchronization, the transmitting device 19 transmits to the corresponding receiving device 20 a synchronization signal, which is designated by S in the activation curve 21 of FIG. 2 over time. For this purpose, the synchronization signal S contains information about the time interval between the data signals N transmitted by the transmitting device 19.
Sind im Leitsystem unterschiedliche Sendeeinrichtungen und Empfangseinrichtungen vorhanden, so senden und empfangen diesselben in der Regel mit unterschiedlichen Zeitabständen. Die Zeitabstände sind vorzugsweise abhängig von einer eindeutigen Gerätenummer. Die logische Zuordnung der miteinander kommunizierenden Sendeeinrichtungen 19 sowie Empfangseinrichtungen 20 erfolgt hierbei über Adressen, die im Synchronisationssignal S und Datensignal N enthalten sind.If different transmitting devices and receiving devices are present in the control system, they generally send and receive the same at different time intervals. The time intervals are preferably dependent on a unique device number. The logical assignment of the transmitting devices 19 and the receiving devices 20 communicating with one another takes place here via addresses which are contained in the synchronization signal S and data signal N.
Ist z.B. infolge eines Fehlers die Synchronisation zwischen Sendeeinrichtung 19 und Empfangseinrichtung 20 verloren gegangen, oder muß eine Synchronisation bei der Inbetriebnahme des Leitsystems erfolgen, so wird die Empfangseinrichtung 20 gemäß dem zeitlichen Aktivierungsverlauf 23 der Figur 2 betrieben. So bleibt in diesem Fall eine Empfangseinrichtung 20 solange aktiviert, bis die Empfangseinrichtung 20 ein entsprechendes Synchronisationssignal S empfangen hat. Um zur Synchronisation eine möglichst kurze Zeitdauer zu gewährleisten, wird das Synchronisationssignal S erfmdungsgemäß während des Zeitabstands der gesendeten Datensignale N übermittelt, nämlich zur halben Zeit des Zeitabstands. Dies kann dem zeitlichen Aktivierungsverlauf 21 für die Sendeeinrichtung 19 der Figur 2 entnommen werden. So ist dort gezeigt, daßIf, for example, the synchronization between the transmitting device 19 and the receiving device 20 has been lost as a result of an error, or if synchronization has to take place when the control system is started up, the receiving device 20 is operated according to the activation sequence 23 in FIG. 2. In this case, a receiving device 20 remains activated until the receiving device 20 has received a corresponding synchronization signal S. In order to ensure the shortest possible time for synchronization, the synchronization signal S is transmitted according to the invention during the time interval between the transmitted data signals N, namely at half the time interval. This can be seen from the activation curve 21 for the transmission device 19 in FIG. 2. It is shown there that
Datensignale N alle vier Minuten übertragen werden. Ein Synchronisationssignal wird genau zur Hälfte dieser vier Minuten übermittelt.Data signals N are transmitted every four minutes. A synchronization signal is transmitted exactly half of these four minutes.
Mit Hilfe des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens können demnach dieWith the aid of the method according to the invention, the
Empfangseinrichtungen/Sendeeinrichtungen energieoptimiert betrieben werden. Wird - wie oben beispielhaft beschrieben - eine Empfangseinrichtung lediglich alle vier Minuten für 300 msec aktiviert, so ergibt sich ein Energieverbrauch von 1/800 des Energieverbrauchs, der nötig wäre, wenn die Empfangseinrichtung andauernd aktiviert wäre. Receiving devices / transmitting devices are operated in an energy-optimized manner. If - as described above by way of example - a receiving device is only activated for 300 msec every four minutes, this results in an energy consumption of 1/800 of the energy consumption which would be necessary if the receiving device were continuously activated.
