Description
はじめに、通信システム1のシステム構成について説明する。図1は、実施形態に係る通信システム1のシステム構成の一例を示す図である。実施形態に係る通信システム1は、複数の機器の配線が敷設された状況に基づいて、当該複数の機器のうち、同一空間を対象とする第1電子機器及び第2電子機器を対応付ける。
次に、実施形態に係る通信システム1の換気装置10の制御装置11のハードウェア構成について説明する。図2は、実施形態に係る制御装置11のハードウェア構成の一例を示す図である。
次に、図3を参照し、実施形態に係る換気装置10の制御装置11の機能構成について説明する。図3は、実施形態に係る制御装置11の機能構成の一例を示す図である。
換気装置10の制御装置11は、記憶部111、取得部112、通信部113、及び制御部114を有する。これら各部は、例えば、制御装置11にインストールされた1以上のプログラムと、制御装置11のCPU101等のハードウェアとの協働により実現されてもよい。
次に、図4を参照し、実施形態に係る通信システム1の処理の一例について説明する。図4は、実施形態に係る通信システム1の処理の一例を示すシーケンス図である。以下で、通信配線60Aにより室外機20Aと接続されている室内機30A-1、室内機30A-2、及び室内機30A-3を、適宜、室内機30A-1等とも称する。
室外機20Aは、通信配線60Aと通信配線70Aとの通信を切断している状態で、通信配線60Aに第1返信要求を送信してもよい。この場合、室外機20Aは、例えば、通信配線60Aが接続される第1端子(第1ポート)と、通信配線70Aが接続される第2端子(第2ポート)とを有し、第1端子と第2端子との間の通信を切断している状態で、第1端子から通信配線60Aに第1返信要求を送信してもよい。この場合、室外機20Aは、例えば、第1端子と第2端子との間に設けられたリレー回路を開放(オフ、遮断)して、第1端子と第2端子との間を電気的に切断することにより、通信配線60Aと通信配線70Aとの通信を切断するようにしてもよい。
また、室外機20Aは、例えば、通信配線60Aが接続される第1端子と、通信配線70Aが接続される第2端子との間に設けられたバンドパスフィルタ(ハイパスフィルタ、またはローパスフィルタ)により、通信配線60A内用の通信を通信配線70Aに対して遮断してもよい。この場合、室外機20Aは、例えば、当該バンドパスフィルタにより遮断される周波数の信号を用いて、第1端子から通信配線60Aに第1返信要求を送信してもよい。この場合、室外機20Aは、例えば、通信配線60Aと通信配線70Aとを、閾値(遮断周波数)以下の周波数の信号を遮断するハイパスフィルタを介して電気的に接続させ、第1端子から通信配線60Aに対して、当該閾値以下の周波数の信号(低周波パルス)を用いて通信配線60Aに第1返信要求を送信してもよい。この場合、室外機20Aは、第1端子と第2端子とをバンドパスフィルタを介して常時接続しているため、後述するステップS6の処理の実行は不要である。これにより、バンドパスフィルタにより遮断されない周波数の信号であれば、通信配線70Aから通信配線60Aに伝送(中継)される。そのため、例えば、ステップS1からステップS5の処理が実行されている間(系統認識処理中)であっても、コントローラ500から室内機30A-1等の監視、及び制御等を行うことができる。
上述した開示の実施形態によれば、外部機器の情報を機器に適切に設定することができる。例えば、各室内機30A-1等と換気装置10Aとを連携させる場合、当該各室内機30A-1等と当該換気装置10Aとを同一室外機20Aの配下となるように通信配線60Aを敷設して接続すれば、自動で当該各室内機30A-1等と当該換気装置10Aとがペアリングされるため、工事作業員のペアリング設定の手間を削減できる。また、開示の実施形態によれば、工事作業員が手動で換気装置10Aに室内機30A-1等の情報を設定する場合と比較して、設定ミスを防止できる。また、ペアリング設定を行う作業員を不要とすることができる。また、比較的高価なコントローラ500を設置しない場合でも、室内機30と換気装置10とを連携させて運転させることができる。
制御装置11の各機能部は、例えば1以上のコンピュータにより実行されるクラウドコンピューティングにより実現されていてもよい。
10 換気装置
11 制御装置
20 室外機
30 室内機
40 アダプタ
50A、50B 冷媒配管
60A、60B、70 通信配線
