- Referring to
FIG. 1 , there is shown an example of anenvironmental control system 100 including acontrol unit assembly 105 for self-determining a root-cause of a fault condition or error associated with one or more environmental control zones in an HVAC system according to an embodiment of the invention. Particularly,environmental control system 100 includes a programmablecontrol unit assembly 105 including ahousing 110 and a user input/output device shown in the form of atouch screen display 115 that allows a user of the HVAC system to establish and view various environmental control parameters or conditions for one or moreenvironmental control zones environmental control zone second control zones FIG. 2 . In other embodiments, programmablecontrol unit assembly 105 may be used to control a single environmental zone, for exampleenvironmental control zone 120 or more than two environmental control zones. Further, programmablecontrol unit assembly 105 includes anintegrated controller 130 that is operatively connected to, in embodiments, atemperature control system 150 such as, for example, a gas furnace, air conditioner, and/or heat pump, ahumidity control system 155 such as, for example, an air conditioner or a humidifier, and anairflow control system 160. The integratedcontroller 130 establishes user desired environmental control parameters such as, for example, temperature, indoor air quality, humidity and/or airflow for first and secondenvironmental control zones systems zones FIG. 2 . - In an embodiment,

The processor ofcontroller 130 can be any type of processor (CPU), including a general purpose processor, a digital signal processor, a microcontroller, an application specific integrated circuit, a field programmable gate array, or the like. Additionally,controller 130 receives information regarding parameters ofsystem 100 as well as predetermined historicalinformation regarding system 100 that are stored inmemory 135, and utilizes these for narrowing down the list of root causes.

It is to be appreciated that any of theother unit controllers unit controller 165. - Referring now to
FIG. 2 , there is shown a flow diagram illustrating a root cause self-determination process 200 according to an embodiment of the invention. Theprocess 200 includes self-determining a root cause of one or more system fault conditions in theenvironmental control system 100 or root cause in any of thesystems FIG. 1 ) including self-determining the root cause to a system fault event in one system component that may cause issues in another component. In an exemplary embodiment, theroot cause process 200 may identify a fault condition such as, for example, a low pressure on an outdoor unit (not shown) of a temperature control system 150 (FIG. 1 ), for example, an air conditioner or a heat pump unit, and accurately narrows the root cause to low indoor airflow from several other root causes such as, in some non-limiting examples, low refrigerant charge, faulty outdoor pressure switches, faulty outdoor expansion valve, faulty outdoor reversing valve, or faulty outdoor compressor. While a single fault condition is described below, it is to be appreciated that a root cause of additional fault conditions may be determined by theenvironmental control system 100 utilizing asimilar process 200 described herein. It is to be appreciated that a root cause elimination may occur within thecontroller 130 or any of theunit controllers - The
process 200 is initiated at 202, and, in 204, a fault condition such as, for example, low-pressure lockout in the cooling mode may be stored in the memory 135 (FIG. 1 ) for determining a root cause. Thecontroller 130 may receive local sensed data or any other information from, in one embodiment,systems more sensors system 100 to deviate from user or system defined environmental parameters, e.g., temperature, humidity and/or airflow for theenvironmental control zones 120, 125 (FIG. 1 ). Further,controller 130 determines whether the received information indicates a deviation from the desired environmental parameters and presents these as a fault condition on display 115 (FIG. 1 ). This fault condition is stored in memory 135 (FIG. 1 ), in embodiments, as either error codes, for example fault code 83 and/or as a text message, for example “Fault 83: Low Pressure Lockout for 4 Hours”. - In 206, controller 130 (
FIG. 1 ) determines a causal relationship between the fault condition and one or more root causes of the fault condition. In one embodiment, the controller 130 (FIG. 1 ) utilizes algorithms stored in memory 135 (FIG. 1 ) to implement a fault tree model such as, for example, a cause-and-effect diagram in order to identify a predetermined list of root causes associated with the particular fault condition. In an embodiment, the predetermined list of root causes associated with the fault condition are causally linked by the fault tree model within thecontroller 130 and may be accessed for each fault condition that is particularly detected bycontroller 130. In 208, thecontroller 130 analyzes the information on the current sensed conditions received fromcontrollers respective systems systems systems FIG. 1 ) analyzes the current sensed conditions obtained from, in embodiments,sensors temperature control system 150,humidity control system 155 and/or airflow control system 160 (FIG. 1 ) at the time of the fault condition or preceding the fault condition in order to eliminate one or more root causes not related to the fault condition - In 210, if the sensed information indicates that there is a single root cause, then in 212, the single root cause is provided to the technician on
touch screen display 115 including the solutions for fixing the particular fault condition. However, if thecontroller 130 determines that there may be several root causes associated with the fault condition, then, in 214, thecontroller 130 will run thesystem 100 in a particular diagnostic mode in order to generated additional specific data and further limit the possible root causes and eliminate unrelated root causes. In the diagnostic mode, thecontroller 130 is programmed for presetting thesystem 100 to predefined parameters associated with an operating characteristic of the HVAC system that generated the fault condition such as, for example controlling the speed of the compressor or the speed of the indoor fan, in order to obtain additional data needed for eliminating one or more root causes of a particular fault condition. This additional information obtained is stored inmemory 135 for additional fault diagnosis by thecontroller 130. In 216, if a single root cause remains after the diagnostic mode is implemented, then the root cause is provided to the technician ontouch screen display 115 in 212. However, in 216, if more than one root cause remains then, in 218, the controller 103 utilizes the predetermined historical information regarding the probability or likelihood of a defect in one of the various components insystem 100 that is associated with the fault condition to display a list of possible root causes in the order of priority for the technician to fix or address. In one embodiment, the root causes may be prioritized base on historical probabilities of thesystem 100 as well as the cost associated with replacing one or more components associated with the root cause. The process end at 220. - The technical effects and benefits of embodiments relate to an HVAC a system programmed for determining a root cause of a fault condition including software utilizing a fault tree analysis methodology, historical information of the HVAC system, and current sensed information for eliminating one or more erroneous root causes of the fault condition.
