[0002] With the continuous development of the market, the types of products required for electronic control are increasing. Even environmental controllers that combine software and hardware with the same or similar hardware will face many manufacturing problems. If there is no advanced production technology, burning different versions of programs for each product one by one (one customized program for each customer) will inevitably add a lot of manpower and material resources to production and manufacturing. The increase in market share must require products to have requirements such as mass production, diversification, and short cycles. In the diversification of products, many programs with different functions are often generated. If the production model is produced according to the one-to-one correspondence between existing products and programs (one customized program for each customer), it will inevitably bring huge challenges to the production department. For example: the identification and management of different products, planned production scheduling, testing, batch and production line changes, etc. will add a lot of work to the production department. Such a production model will inevitably lead to high labor costs, high pressure on warehouse management, cumbersome production processes, and long production scheduling cycles. As a result, enterprises need to use more resources to solve the problem of large-scale and diversified production.

[0003] The patent number "CN202022167162.8" discloses a new energy gateway program batch burning device. Although the device has a one-to-many burning method, when there are multiple customers with diversified program products, it will face the pressure of distinguishing and managing the finished products, and will inevitably require more venues, personnel management resources and other issues.

[0087] Embodiment 2

[0088] As shown in Figure 5, a production system of an environmental controller for controlling a fan in this embodiment is used to implement the production method of the environmental controller for controlling a fan in embodiment one; the production system also includes an environmental controller, a background control center, a communication module and a test bench; the environmental controller includes a programmable chip, a storage unit and a communication interface; the first connection end of the communication module is electrically connected to the communication interface, the second connection end is electrically connected to the background control center, and the third connection end is electrically connected to the test bench; the communication interface is electrically connected to the storage unit and the programmable chip.

[0091] A production system for an environmental controller for controlling fans in this embodiment is achieved by first burning a boot program into the environmental controller, and the boot program is the only burned program used to produce and manufacture large quantities of environmental controllers. Since the hardware used for environmental controllers controlling different functions of fans is the same, the environmental controllers can be produced in advance and put into storage by burning the boot program, and when the production is completed, the environmental controllers that control specific functions of fans are shipped out of the storage.

[0092] Specifically, the environmental controllers that are put into storage are pre-burned with the boot program. When the background control center transmits an application that matches the customer's needs, the boot program loads the application and installs it into the environmental controller, and runs the application. The fan control function of the environmental controller is developed according to customer needs, and can be efficiently mass-produced, meeting the customer's quantity and speed requirements. Even if the fan control function or version of the environmental controller required by each customer is different, the background control center can match the corresponding application to manufacture environmental controllers that control fans that meet customer needs.

[0093] The background control center, test bench, and environmental controller communicate jointly through the communication module, so that the environmental controller can be easily tested for qualification when entering and leaving the warehouse, thus ensuring the fan control function of the environmental controller.

[0094] The above is a detailed description of the production method and system embodiment of an environmental controller for controlling a fan provided by the present invention. This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the core idea of ​​the present invention.
