DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
In general, the invention concerns the automation of buildings and, more particularly, a system allowing the pre-automation of industrial, tertiary, or other buildings to make it possible subsequently to install various equipment and installations.
Conventional practice includes equipping industrial, tertiary, or other buildings with pre-cabling systems which make it possible to install at a later time computer of telephone equipment. These pre-cabling systems comprise passive elements such as cables, sockets, distributing frames, terminal boards, pre-cabling trusses, supports, etc.
More and more, industrial, tertiary, and other buildings comprise equipment and installations to ensure the technical and administrative management thereof in the fields of air-conditioning, security, access-control, and the management of scheduling and visitors. These facilities and installations include sensors which, in each of the areas mentioned, supply information to a dedicated automaton which elaborates signals controlling actuating elements belonging to the same field and located at different sites within the building. Furthermore, each piece of equipment or installation is provided with a supervision unit which centralizes the information and monitors it, this unit possibly being shared by installations.
Of course, each of the pieces of equipment and installations may be pre-cabled in a manner analogous to that of computer and telephone equipment, but each piece of equipment has a different pre-cabled network comprising only passive elements, such as cables and terminal boards.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
One of the purposes of the invention under consideration is thus to produce a device for the pre-automation of an industrial, tertiary, or other building, which makes it possible to supervise all or a part of the sensors and actuating elements in at least one area of management located in a particular zone of the building.
Another purpose of the present invention lies in producing a system for pre-automation of an industrial, tertiary, or other building, comprising several pre-automation devices distributed in the building and which are connected to each other and to at least one supervision unit by a pre-cabling network.
The invention relates to a device for pre-automation for the installations of an industrial, tertiary, or other building to be connected to a specific number of sensors and actuating elements and characterized by the fact that it comprises at least one terminal board provided to be connected by cables to said different types of sensors and actuating elements, a microprocessor, and an inputs/outputs circuit, in order to connect the terminal board to the microprocessor.
The invention further concerns a system for pre-automation of the various installations in an industrial, tertiary, or other building, which comprises a unit for supervision of said installations, characterized by the fact that it comprises a plurality of pre-automation devices which are distributed in said building, and a pre-cabling network to connect said pre-automation apparatuses to said supervision unit.
Other purposes, characteristics, and advantages of the present invention emerge from a reading of the following description of one embodiment thereof, said description being provided in relation to the attached drawings.
