Definitions
- the invention relates to a system for controlling directly or indirectly electrically operated functional units, in particular partial units of a building.
- the invention also provides a suitable command or information unit for use in a corresponding home control system.
- the functional units of a building in the sense of the present invention include, on the one hand, the units that generally belong to domestic technology, for example the units for controlling the environmental conditions such as heating, air conditioning, air humidification system, sun protection, glare protection, facade and usage displays and the like, on the other hand, the lighting units, if necessary . Elevators and security systems of all kinds.
- the functional units are also understood to mean units of communication, information exchange and entertainment, for example videos, screens and the like.
- Directly or indirectly operated electrically means that in the final analysis at least one electrically operated unit belongs to the operation of the functional unit, be it that it belongs directly to the functional unit or constitutes it, or indirectly drives and / or controls a hydraulic, pneumatic or the like.
- sub-units of a building are understood to mean a unit to which the respective ones to be controlled Functional unit belong. In the strictest sense, this is a room that is to be illuminated, darkened, conditioned or provided with a screen or similar communication or media elements, a vertical unit in which an elevator runs or a security system works, or a floor that also to be illuminated, air-conditioned or supplied with safety technology.
- Central controls are also known in part, in particular for complex domestic technology, the energy supply lines being led through appropriate cable shafts to central desks or central control rooms.
- a major disadvantage of the known installations is the enormous need for planning and the extremely complex space and material requirements, in particular in the form of electrical power supply lines and switches. It is known, for example, to arrange a large number of switches, pushbuttons, operating units and the like in a room, behind which there are in each case a plurality of supply lines which are supplied or connected to the individual units via distributors. Efforts are well known to summarize the large number of switching elements in corresponding switching units, cable channels provided with switching and plug-in elements usually being used in modern office buildings. In known central controls with central control cabinets or central control rooms, it is again necessary to provide a central operator who must be informed accordingly in order to be able to set the desired switching operations. After all, the previously known systems are extremely inflexible. So it is very difficult and usually only possible with great construction effort to assign an existing switching unit to another functional unit. This also applies to central control systems, where the wiring usually has to be changed.
- circuit organization which has been defined from the outset, from an energy supply center, for example a fuse box, via an associated switching unit to a functional unit.
- the present invention is based on the task of specifying a system for controlling directly or indirectly operated functional units, in particular partial units of a building, which enables a considerable simplification of the circuitry, considerably reduces the assembly and material expenditure for the building equipment and with regard to the assignment from switching units to functional units is largely flexible.
- the system for controlling directly or indirectly electrically operated functional units in particular partial units of a building, a power supply for the individual functional units, a switching and control unit that can be assigned to a functional unit and that communicates with a central controller and has at least one command and information unit assigned to the subunit, the command and information unit, the central controller and the switching and control units being connected to one another only in a data exchange connection and only the switching and control units providing the energy supply or operate the function of the functional units.
- the system according to the invention thus provides at least two essentially independent circuits which are linked to one another on switching and control units.
- each functional unit is connected in a known manner to an energy supply system, which, however, is connected directly from an energy supply center, for example one Fuse box leads to the functional unit, at least one switching and / or control unit being arranged at almost any point.
- any number of command and information units which can be arranged at suitable locations in the subunits, are connected to a central control, which in turn controls the switching and control units.
- These three units consisting of command and information units, central control and switching and control unit are only in data exchange connection.
- Central control in the sense of the present invention is essentially to be understood as a computer, which can be, for example, a central computer of an entire building or also a computer assigned to only one sub-unit, a large number of so-called central control systems being linked to one another in a network or, in turn, to one Central computer can be connected.
- a computer which can be, for example, a central computer of an entire building or also a computer assigned to only one sub-unit, a large number of so-called central control systems being linked to one another in a network or, in turn, to one Central computer can be connected.
- environmental conditions such as temperature or air humidity as well as the time or recommendations for correct use of the functional units can be displayed.
- automatic functions can be implemented with the system according to the invention, for example to save energy, to increase comfort or the like.
- the switching and control units are, for example, switches, contacts, relays and the like, as well as digital / analog and / or analog / digital converters.
- the system can also have sensors, for example temperature sensors, light meters, warning units and the like.
- the switching and control units are controlled via the data connection and bring about the desired switching state on the respectively assigned functional unit.
- the data connection can be established in different ways. Data lines can be laid in the usual way, with one-core coaxial lines or two-core lines being sufficient on a regular basis.
- the data connection can also be established via fiber optics via radio or the like.
- the data connection types can also be combined with one another.
- a command unit can have remote control, for example by radio, ultrasound, infrared or the like, and a coaxial data line from a receiving unit to a computer to lead.
- the command unit can also be a computer that allows control units to act on functional units.
- the command unit can be a switch panel which is connected directly or indirectly to a central control system via data lines. All modern developments can be used in the context of the present invention, for example light control, laser control, 3-D projections, acoustic controls and the like.
- the command panel proposed by the invention is advantageously an essentially flat, plate-shaped element which can be integrated inconspicuously at almost any location in a room or other part of a building.
- the plate-shaped element can be adapted in terms of material, color and geometry to building equipment and / or designed plastically.
- all command units have a field structure which has at least one information area and / or an actuation area.
- the information area is advantageously subdivided into a field name and a function name.
- the field designation and the function designations can be represented by characters and / or symbols. The symbols show the respective functional unit, for example a lamp, a blind and the like.
- the function names can refer to specific sub-groups that are used within a field name or to actuation states such as opening, closing, up, down, lighter, darker and the like.
- the actuating unit advantageously comprises at least one switching and one reporting unit.
- the switching unit can be a button, a sensor, a switch and the like.
- the actuation can take place acoustically, optically, mechanically, electronically or in some other way.
- the notification can also be made in different ways.
- the signaling unit can be designed in the form of a lamp which indicates the switched-on state. A row of diodes, noise or the like can also be used. If the entire command table is implemented as a menu in a computer, the individual information can also be exchanged.
- a very special advantage of the present invention is that the assignment of individual command tables to individual functional units can be varied as desired. This can be done either by a central circuit logic or by a simple software implementation.
- the invention provides an overall clearly structured, simple and easy to assemble system for controlling the functional units of a building, which is adapted to modern requirements and is highly variable.
- the system according to the invention also enables a completely new realization of building projects, in particular a new building technology.
- the energy supply on the one hand and the control on the other hand can be planned independently.
- a simple energy supply network to the different subunits can be planned and implemented from an energy supply source, for example a main connection to an electrical supply line coming from a power plant, without additional lines to switching units having to be planned or implemented. It is only essential that switching and / or control units are planned in the supply lines, which in turn must be provided with a data connection to an assigned central control.
- a data connection network can be planned and implemented, which has its origin in the central control and leads to the individual command units.
- the central control can be an analog circuit logic or a computer in which the individual switching assignments are implemented in software.
- the command panels have digital information fields so that they can be labeled as desired from the central control. This means that any command table field can be assigned to any functional unit. At most, groupings based on different reporting units are required.
- Figure 1 is a schematic organizational representation for a
- Figure 2 is an illustration of an embodiment of a command table.
- the networks for power supply 1 and command control 2 are basically separated from one another in a building.
- the control system is explained using the example of the control of a functional unit 3, for example a lighting unit, a servomotor or the like, power supply lines being shown with solid lines, command lines with chain lines.
- the functional unit 3 is supplied with electrical energy from a central electrical connection, in the exemplary embodiment shown a counter 5 with fuses 6, via a conventional power line 7.
- a switching unit 8 is arranged in one of the power lines 7, which, in contrast to conventionally known switching units, does not have to be accessible to an operator, but can be controlled.
- the command routing network 2 comprises the data line 9, which is led on the one hand from a central control unit 1 0 to the switching unit 8 and on the other hand from the central control unit 1 0 to the command panel 11.
- the central control can be an analog switching logic or a computer.
- the computer in turn can be linked to other computers in the network, connected to a further central computer or the like.
- the central control 10 can also be operated on its own.
- the command panel 1 1 has a control panel 1 2.
- the switching unit 8 can be actuated by actuating the control panel via the central control 10, so that the functional unit is switched on.
- a corresponding message can be issued on the control panel 1 2, for example, a lamp is switched on in order to indicate the switched-on state. Repeated actuation switches off functional unit 3 in the same way and the message disappears.
- the command panel 1 1 shown in FIG. 2 comprises a total of four control panels 1 2, 1 3, 14, 1 5, which are each assigned to other functional units.
- the control panel structure is basically uniform and comprises information areas, in the exemplary embodiment shown consisting of the field designation 1 6 and the functional designation 1 7, and switching and signaling units 1 8.
- the control panel 11 can be designed as a flat plate-shaped element in terms of hardware for installation in a room, a floor or the like.
- the command panel 1 1 can just as well be designed as an operating menu on a computer.
- the individual control panels can also be assigned to other functional units by simple reprogramming, for which it is advantageous if the information areas can be labeled digitally.
- all field designation areas are the same and designate groups of functional units with light, sun protection, facade and temperature.
- the function designations either designate individual group elements such as light 1, light 2 and so on, as in the control panel 1 2, or, as in the other control panels, function processes such as up, down, close, -1 and the like.
- the switching and signaling units 18 each consist of a button or a switching field in the case of a computer implementation, and a signaling element, in the exemplary embodiment shown a light bar. If, for example, the light 2 is switched on by touching it, the corresponding light bar is obtained in the control panel 12 as shown in the exemplary embodiment.
- the command panel for use in a corresponding control system can be configured as desired, in particular also as a mobile element.
