Description

Building automatic control system with automatic generation of test operation data

[0001] The present invention relates to a building automatic control system, and more particularly, to a building automatic control system having a function for automatically generating test operation data.

[0002] Building control systems require knowledge and information for installation and construction, depending on the various equipment installed in the building and the characteristics of each piece of equipment.

[0003] The experience and skill of engineers installing building control systems vary, so even when installing the same building control system, the appropriateness of the installed system and the degree of optimal operation, i.e. the quality of system operation, may vary.

[0004] Additionally, the time required to build a system may vary depending on the engineer's experience and skill level.

[0005] Improving the quality of these systems and reducing the time required for deployment can also lead to cost savings.

[0006] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a building automatic control system including an automatic generation function of commissioning data that can automatically generate a list of control point input / output (I / O) mapping information of a building control controller (direct digital controller: DDC), a sequence diagram defining a connection method with the controlled equipment for each controller input / output module, a graphic file for controlling the target equipment, and a controller logic file for controlling the target equipment by selecting a pre-classified equipment type according to the target equipment to be controlled.

[0007] The technical problems to be solved by the present invention are not limited to the technical problems mentioned above, and other technical problems not mentioned can be clearly understood by a person having ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present invention belongs from the description below.

[0009] The above equipment type selection section provides a function for displaying and selecting information on the equipment category and type by characteristic on the screen, and may have a management function for adding, changing, and deleting information on type by characteristic.

[0010] The above control point input / output mapping information automatic generation unit has the input / output control point information required for each type of equipment on the controller, synthesizes this, automatically assigns the control point address to the address of the input / output module, lists it, and automatically generates a file format that can be used by the installation engineer, and collects information on the quantity of control points and input / output modules and displays it on the screen.

[0011] The above sequence diagram automatic generation unit can automatically generate a file in a diagrammatic format regarding the connection method between the input / output module and the controlled equipment using the information generated by the control point input / output mapping information automatic generation unit.

[0012] The above-mentioned automatic generation unit for control graphic files can use the information generated by the automatic generation unit for control point input / output mapping information to generate graphic files for real-time control and automatically map control point address information.

[0013] The above controller logic file automatic generation unit can automatically generate a logic file by creating and combining each logic for controlling multiple devices in the controller using the information generated by the above control point input / output mapping information automatic generation unit.

[0014] The present invention has the advantage of reducing engineer errors that may occur during the process of installing an automatic control system on site and registering data, reducing differences in the quality of a constructed system resulting from differences in experience between installation engineers, and drastically reducing the construction time of a system.
