Abstract
An address competition method of a multi-connected type control system. The method aims at solving the problem of how to set an indoor machine communication address in the multi-connected type air conditioner system efficiently. For the purpose, a primary control device (such as an air conditioner outdoor machine) performs broadcasting on each address in a preset address section in sequence. A slave control device (such as the air conditioner indoor machine) responds to the primary control device on the basis of preset responding time and the number of currently broadcasting times of the primary control device. The primary control device to which a communication address is distributed temporarily is responded so as to finish address competition rapidly. Meanwhile, the primary control device can perform continuous broadcasting on one address for repeatedly, so that the competition success rate of the address is increased.
