Method for associating data between a plurality of blockchain networks and apparatus thereof

Disclosed are an air conditioner integrated management system and an operational method of the same according to the present invention. The present invention can promptly detect and repair the device, where an error really occurred, by determining the error as an upper unit's in the case that the error occurred at the whole devices belonging to a lower unit managed by the upper unit.

Air conditioner integrated management system and control method of the same

A building management system controller of a local operating network controls a multi-air conditioner system having a different communications network protocol. The building management system includes a controller for centrally controlling subsystems in the building including an air conditioner system, and is connected to the local operating network and a gateway that converts data between the local operating network and a network of the multi-air conditioner.

Building management system and operating method thereof including protocol conversion

Disclosed are a central control system for multi-type air conditioners and an operating method thereof. In the central control system, multi-type air conditioners comprise a large number of indoor devices and a small number of outdoor devices, and a central controller is coupled to the multi-type air conditioners over a network. The central controller transmits a control graphic user interface (GUI) program provided therein to the remote control device so that an integrated control operation for respective air conditioners can be carried out. The central controller adjusts a transmission time of the control command signal received from the remote control device and transmits the control command signal to a corresponding air conditioner according to a result of the adjustment so that signal collision can be avoided. As the multi-type air conditioners installed within a building can be centrally controlled and efficiently managed, and control command signals from control devices coupled to the central controller over an internal/external network are transmitted to corresponding air conditioners, a control operation can be reliably performed.

Central control system for multi-type air conditioners and operating method thereof

A central control system controls peak power of multiple air conditioners that includes indoor units installed in rooms of a building and an outdoor unit for controlling refrigerant circulation. A central controller is connected to the multiple air conditioners via a network to perform central control or monitoring of operations of the air conditioners. The central controller performs peak power control if current power consumption of the air conditioners, calculated based on operating states thereof, exceeds a previously input reference management power value. A signal converter is connected between the multiple air conditioners and the central controller to perform mutual conversion of different protocol signals communicated between the multiple air conditioners and the central controller. This decreases excessive electricity costs due to excessive power consumption while approximately maintaining cooling/heating efficiencies, and also prevents the entire power of the building from being cut off.

Central control system of air conditioners and method for operating the same

A central control system for airconditioner(s) and a method for controlling the same. The central control system can centrally control a plurality of airconditioners connected to the same communication network. In the system, a protocol converter connected to a central controller converts a communication standard of a signal communicated between the airconditioners and the central controller into another communication standard, acquires connection state information by scanning connection state information of individual airconditioners, and transmits the acquired information to the central controller, such that a manager can correctly monitor an airconditioner state using the central controller, resulting in the implementation of a reliable control system.

Central control system for airconditioner and method for operating the same

A central control system includes a plurality of air conditioners and a central control unit connected to the air conditioners over a network. The air conditioners are installed in rooms of a building to provide air conditioning in the rooms. The central control unit receives a control command for monitoring and controlling each of the air conditioners, and adjusts an operating schedule of each of the air conditioners to limit total peak power consumption of the air conditioners in operation below a reference power value. The central control unit controls the operation of each of the air conditioners based on the adjusted operating schedule. When the total peak power consumption exceeds the reference power value, the central control unit prevents the entire air conditioning system from shutting down, which improves stability of the air conditioning system and decreases electricity costs for air conditioning.

An airconditioner system for integrating multiple areas. A plurality of multi-airconditioners are grouped into some groups. CPU connected in parallel to individual multi-airconditioner groups, that have been distributed and installed in a wide area or building, controls individual multi-airconditioner groups to be operated simultaneously, resulting in a shorter control time. Although an unexpected communication failure occurs in one multi-airconditioner group, the remaining multi-airconditioner groups other than the erroneous multi-airconditioner group can be normally controlled, resulting in increased stability and reliability of an overall airconditioning system.

Air-conditioning system for integrating multiple areas

A central control system of air conditioners includes a multi-type air conditioning system, a power meter and a central controller. The air conditioning system includes a plurality of indoor units for air conditioning installed in rooms of a building and an outdoor unit for circulation of refrigerant, where the indoor units share the outdoor unit. The power meter is connected to the outdoor unit to measure power consumption of the air conditioning system when the system operates. The central control unit calculates respective power consumptions of the indoor units based on both the power consumption measured by the power meter and operation information of the air conditioning system, and displays the calculated power consumptions of the indoor units. It is thus possible to determine respective power consumption patterns and electricity charges of the indoor units more accurately, thereby improving management efficiency of the entire air conditioning system.
