Detailed Description

By way of example, taking a full-house intelligent system as shown in fig. 1, the full-house intelligent system may include various "PLC devices" that communicate based on a PLC protocol, such as a full-house intelligent host, a PLC sub-device, etc., all belong to a PLC device, where the "full-house intelligent host" may also be referred to as a PLC master device, such as the PLC master device 10 shown in fig. 1; other devices controlled by the PLC master device are referred to as "PLC sub-devices", such as the PLC sub-device 20 shown in fig. 1.

Alternatively, the PLC sub-device 20 may include one or more types of home devices, such as a plurality of lamps (e.g., the lamps 21, 22, and 23 shown in fig. 1, etc.), an air conditioner 24, and a router 25, and the PLC sub-device 20 may also include a set top box, a smart box, a refrigerator, an oven, a smart screen, etc. in a home scene, which are not shown, and the kind and number of the PLC sub-device 20 are not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

For the whole-house intelligent system shown in fig. 1, the PLC master device 10 can be used as a central control system, relies on a PLC whole-house network and a wireless local area network (wireless local area networks, WLAN) covered at high speed (for example, a wireless fidelity (wireless fidelity, wi-Fi) network), and the PLC master device 10 performs distributed information processing and intelligent decision-making on the whole-house environment, user behaviors, system devices and the like, so that immersive and personalized whole-scene intelligent experience is brought to the user.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a control process of a full-house intelligent system according to an embodiment of the present application. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 2, the control process of the whole house intelligent system includes the following steps:

201, a user configures rule data for a whole house intelligent system through an Application (APP). Specifically, the user may configure rule data for the PLC master device 10 in the whole house intelligent system through a certain application program.

It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the "rule data" may also be referred to as "attribute rule" or the like, and the "rule data" may include a control message or a control instruction for controlling the operation state of one or more PLC sub devices 20 in the home scenario listed in fig. 1, or the like.

Optionally, when the controlled PLC sub-device has a delay attribute rule, for example, a PLC sub-device is turned on after several seconds or turned off after several seconds, the "rule data" may also be referred to as "delay rule", "delay attribute rule", and the like, and the content included in the "rule data" is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

By way of example, taking the illumination lamp 21 in fig. 1 as an example, the "rule data" may include any one or more instructions related to the operating state, such as controlling the on time, the off time, the light color, the light brightness, the color temperature, etc. of the illumination lamp 21, for example, the illumination lamp 21 is operated at the 1 st second on, the 2 nd second off, and the 3 rd second on … … rule with a delay attribute.

It should also be understood that the application program for configuring rule data for the whole house intelligent system by the user may include an after-sale service APP created by a third party company such as a maintenance company for installation and maintenance personnel, an APP capable of enabling interconnection and interworking between intelligent devices such as smart life developed by a Hua-for company, or other APP of a more type, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Alternatively, the application program of the user configuration rule data may be installed on a device that is used daily, such as a mobile phone, a tablet, or the like of the user, or may be installed on the PLC host device 10 having an operation panel or physical keys, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

202, the plc master device 10 parses the rule data.

203, the PLC master device 10 determines attribute rules of the PLC sub device 20 according to the rule data.

204, the PLC master device 10 issues a control message to the PLC sub device 20.

205, the plc sub device 20 executes the instruction according to the control message.

It should be understood that in the above implementation process, the PLC master device 10 may store rule data configured by a user, parse the rule data about the working state and the working parameters of the PLC sub device 20, and generate a control message and send the control message to the PLC sub device 20, so that the PLC sub device responds.

It should also be understood that, in the embodiments of the present application, the "control message" may also be referred to as a "control instruction", "PLC message", etc., which are not limited in the following embodiments.

In a possible implementation manner, the user may trigger the PLC master device 10 to issue a control instruction to the PLC sub device 20 through the APP such as assembly, smart life, or through an operation panel, physical keys, etc. of the PLC master device 10, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Specifically, the user may trigger to notify the PLC master device 10 to execute a certain control rule, and when the PLC master device 10 determines that the PLC slave device 20 to be controlled and a certain control rule that the PLC slave device 20 needs to execute currently, the PLC master device 10 may parse a related instruction in the stored rule data, generate a control message according to the related instruction, and send the control message to the PLC slave device 20, so that the PLC slave device 20 responds according to the instruction in the control message.

For example, taking the lighting lamp 21 in fig. 1 as an example, the PLC master device 10 determines that the user triggers the current working state of controlling the lighting lamp 21, for example, after determining that the starting time of the lighting lamp 21 is 1 second, the PLC master device 10 may generate a control message according to the obtained instruction, send the control message to the lighting lamp 21 through the PLC power line, and the lighting lamp 21 responds according to the instruction in the control message, and then starts and lights after 1 second. Likewise, the user may trigger any one of the instructions such as the on time, the off time, the light color, the light brightness, the color temperature, etc. of the illumination lamp 21, and generate a control message for each instruction, and send the control message to the illumination lamp 21, so that the illumination lamp 21 responds according to the instruction in the control message.

In the full house intelligent system including a plurality of PLC sub-devices with respect to the scenes described in fig. 1 and 2, when the PLC master device 10 controls the plurality of PLC sub-devices, a problem of low control efficiency may be caused. For example, if the PLC master device 10 needs to generate control messages of multiple PLC sub devices every second, and the PLC master device 10 needs to continuously generate control messages of a certain PLC sub device every second, in other words, there is control message generation and transmission on the message transmission channel every second. When the number of PLC messages generated by the PLC master device 10 per second exceeds 20, the PLC messages are likely to be jammed and the transmission channel is likely to be blocked, so that the control efficiency of the PLC master device 10 on the plurality of PLC sub devices is low.

In addition, if a plurality of PLC sub-devices controlled by one PLC master device 10 execute a "delay rule" with a delay attribute, congestion of the number of PLC messages will cause the PLC master device 10 to fail to precisely control the operation state of each PLC sub-device, resulting in a low control success rate.

Furthermore, in the existing control mechanism, the PLC sub-device does not have the capability of resolving the "delay rule" with the delay attribute, and can only receive the PLC message of the whole house intelligent host PLC master device 10 and respond; or, the PLC sub-device does not have a timing function, and cannot respond according to the delay instruction in the "delay rule". When the whole-house intelligent host computer PLC master device 10 fails, that is, the PLC master device 10 cannot generate a PLC message with a time delay attribute, that is, cannot send a control message to the PLC sub-device, the PLC master device 10 cannot control any one of the PLC sub-devices with the time delay attribute in the whole-house intelligent system, and the "time delay rule" cannot be normally executed, so that the use experience of a user is affected.

In view of the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for controlling a PLC device, which can improve the control efficiency of a PLC sub-device in a full-house intelligent system, and can ensure the execution efficiency and improve the success rate of controlling the PLC sub-device in an execution scenario including a "delay rule".

Alternatively, the PLC host device 10 may be a full-house smart host manufactured by wagons, and with the development of technology, the PLC host device 10 may also be an electronic device integrated with learning, computing, and decision-making functions of a central control system, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, a vehicle-mounted device, an augmented reality (augmented reality, AR)/Virtual Reality (VR) device, a notebook computer, an ultra-mobile personal computer (ultra-mobile personal computer, UMPC), a netbook, a personal digital assistant (personal digital assistant, PDA), and the like, which are not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Fig. 3 illustrates an exemplary structure that the PLC master device 10 or the PLC sub device 20 may have, and it should be understood that the PLC master device 10 or the PLC sub device 20 may have some or all of the structures illustrated in fig. 3, or have other different structures not illustrated, and embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

For easy understanding, the following embodiments of the present application will take the PLC device 100 having the structure shown in fig. 3 as an example, and the method for controlling the PLC device provided by the embodiments of the present application will be specifically described with reference to the accompanying drawings and application scenarios.

Fig. 4 is a schematic flowchart of an example of a method for controlling a PLC device according to an embodiment of the present application. In connection with the home scenario shown in fig. 1, the method 400 may include two phases as shown in fig. 4:

the first stage: configuration phase

It should be understood that the "configuration phase" can be understood as: a process of configuring data related to the attribute rules related to the work for the PLC master device and/or the PLC slave device. The process may have different implementations.

In a possible implementation manner, the "data related to the attribute rule related to the operation of the PLC master device and/or the PLC sub device" related to the embodiment of the present application may be preconfigured in each device, that is, the inherent attribute of each device.

Illustratively, taking the illumination lamp 21 in the home scenario shown in fig. 1 as an example, the illumination lamp 21 is configured with preset attribute rules at the time of production and delivery. Similarly, the illuminating lamp 22 may be configured with a preset attribute rule at the time of production and delivery, where the preset attribute rule of the illuminating lamp 21 and the preset attribute rule of the illuminating lamp 22 may be the same or different, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In another possible implementation manner, the "data related to the attribute rule related to the operation of the PLC master device and/or the PLC sub device" in the embodiment of the present application may be that, in a use process, a user triggers a configuration flow through an application program such as dimension installation, intelligent life, etc., and further executes the first stage (configuration stage), which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Illustratively, in this implementation, the configuration phase may include the following steps, shown in FIG. 4:

401, a user configures original rule data for the PLC master device 10 in the whole house intelligent system through the APP of the installation, maintenance, intelligent life, etc.

It should be understood that the "original rule data" may refer to the relevant description of step 201, and the process of step 401 may refer to the implementation process of step 201, which is not repeated herein for simplicity.

402, the PLC master device 10 analyzes the original rule data, determines the delay attribute of the PLC sub device 20 in different scenes according to the original rule data, and generates delay attribute rules corresponding to different scenes.

403, the PLC master device 10 transmits the delay attribute rules corresponding to the different scenes to the corresponding PLC sub devices 20.

404, the plc sub device 20 stores the delay attribute rules corresponding to different scenes.

Optionally, for multiple PLC sub-devices in the home scenario shown in fig. 1, each PLC sub-device may have a different latency attribute rule, and multiple PLC sub-devices may also have the same latency attribute rule, and each PLC sub-device may also have latency attribute rules in multiple different scenarios.

In a possible scenario, for any PLC sub-device in the home scenario, the PLC master device 10 may create and generate a new rule according to the delay attribute included in the original rule data and provided in the different scenarios of the PLC sub-device, and in the embodiment of the present application, the new rule created and generated by the PLC master device 10 in step 402 for the PLC sub-device is referred to as a "delay attribute rule", and the delay attribute rule may have a preset data format.

Optionally, the "latency attribute rules" created and generated by the PLC master device 10 for the PLC sub-device may include device information for the PLC sub-device.

For example, assuming that the illumination lamp 21 can work according to different delay attribute rules in different scenes, after the PLC master device 10 analyzes the original rule data, the device information of the illumination lamp 21 can be accurately known, and the delay attribute of the illumination lamp 21 can be in different scenes. Subsequently, the PLC master device 10 may create a delay attribute rule of the illumination lamp 21 in different scenes according to the different scenes.

Optionally, the delay attribute rule may include data or information such as a lighting rule, an operating parameter, etc. related to the delay attribute rule corresponding to the PLC sub-device in a plurality of different scenarios.

Illustratively, taking the illumination lamp 21 shown in fig. 1 as an example, the illumination lamp 21 has different lighting rules in different scenes. For example, the illumination lamp 21 has the following different working scenarios and corresponding attribute rules in the working scenarios:

(1) "viewing scene": "1 st second on, 2 nd second blue, 3 rd second red, 4 th second green, 5 th second yellow … …";

(2) "away from home scene": the 5 th second after leaving the home mode is closed at fixed time;

(3) "reading scene": the first 1 st second is started and switched to the maximum brightness and the eye protection mode.

The above listed attribute rules of the illumination lamp 21 corresponding to three different scenes may be preset in the original rule data configured in step 401, and the PLC master device 10 may parse the original rule data and create a "delay attribute rule" in a preset data format for each of the "viewing scene", "leaving scene" and "reading scene" based on the process of step 402.

Table 1 lists one possible "delay attribute rule" for a "viewing scene". For example, as shown in table 1, after analyzing the original rule data, the PLC master device 10 may create a new "delay attribute rule" corresponding to the "viewing scene" according to a preset data format.

Optionally, the "latency attribute rule" may include one or more basic information among transmission direction information of the Data stream (e.g., micro control unit (microcontroller unit, MCU) of PLC master device 10 issues to CC0 module), system command (cmd) information, media access control address (destination media access control address, dest MAC Addr) information of PLC sub device (e.g., MAC Addr of illumination lamp 21), length of User Data (User Data Len) information, PLC protocol major version number, PLC protocol minor version number, sequence number (Sequence number), attribute code (Func code), status code (Status code), short address of node (DEV Addr) information.

Optionally, the "delay attribute rule" may further include data or information related to the delay attribute rule corresponding to the "viewing scene".

For example, the data or information related to the delay attribute rule corresponding to the "viewing scene" includes: the Scene identifier (Scene identification, scene ID), service identifier (service identification, SI ID), channel identifier (channel identification, CI ID), data Type (Data Type), data length (Data Len), and attribute rule Data parameter Value (Data Value) of the "viewing Scene" are not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Optionally, the Data or information related to the delay attribute rule corresponding to the "viewing scene" may further include a bit (byte) number corresponding to each Data (Data), which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

TABLE 1

/>

It should be understood that the "delay attribute rule" is a unique attribute rule corresponding to each PLC sub-device, the attribute rule in table 1 corresponds to a unique MAC Addr of the illumination lamp 21, and the delay attribute rule corresponding to the "viewing scene" may be transmitted to the illumination lamp 21 according to the MAC Addr in step 403 for storage.

In table 1, data or information related to the delay attribute rule corresponding to the "movie scene" is listed. The Scene identifier (Scene ID) may indicate the current "viewing Scene", and the Data corresponding to the SI ID to the Data Value may convert the instruction into an instruction that can be identified by the lighting lamp 21 at the software layer, so as to indicate the physical actions that can be executed by the lighting lamp 21, such as the actions of opening, closing, color changing, brightness adjustment, etc., which are not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

It should be further understood that the Data corresponding to the SI ID to the Data Value may be understood as Data or information related to the newly created "delay attribute rule", for example, the SI ID and the CI ID may be used to identify advanced attributes of the PLC sub-device, the action 1 in table 1 may represent an instruction of "delay (0 x 0045)", the action 2 may represent an instruction … … of "delay (0 x 0816)", that is, each action defines that the lighting lamp 21 may actually perform a control action according to "waiting x seconds" in the "viewing scene", so that all actions are sequentially performed, and the lighting lamp 21 may be implemented to work according to the Data related to the delay attribute rule corresponding to the "viewing scene", which is not described later.

It should also be understood that each PLC sub-device may have one or more of the "delay attribute rules" listed in table 1. For example, table 1 lists data or information related to a delay attribute rule corresponding to a "movie scene", and it is assumed that the lighting lamp also has a "leaving home scene" and a "reading scene", and each scene may correspond to the data or information related to the delay attribute rule shown in table 1; likewise, for other PLC sub-devices in the home scenario in fig. 1, each PLC sub-device may have one or more delay attribute rules corresponding to different scenarios, which will not be described in detail in the following embodiments.

Alternatively, the PLC master device 10 may send data or information related to the delay attribute rule corresponding to the "viewing scene" listed in table 1 to the PLC sub device 20 through a PLC message, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Through the above-mentioned steps 401-404 in the first stage, each of the one or more PLC sub-devices 20 in the home scene may preset a delay attribute rule corresponding to a different scene, for example, the lighting lamp 21 in the home scene shown in fig. 1 may preset a delay attribute rule corresponding to a "viewing scene" listed in table 1, and may also preset a delay attribute rule corresponding to a "leaving-home scene", and data or information related to attribute rules corresponding to a plurality of different scenes, such as a delay attribute rule corresponding to a "reading scene", respectively.

It should be appreciated that the steps 401-404 process in the first stage may have different execution opportunities. For example, the process may occur when the user installs the PLC master device and the PLC slave device for the first time in the home scenario, or in the embodiment of the present application, the PLC master device and the PLC slave device may include a preset attribute rule, that is, the delay attribute rule may be configured in the PLC slave device as a preset rule, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

And a second stage: stage of use

It should be understood that the "use phase" can be understood as: and controlling each PLC sub-device to work according to the delay attribute rule corresponding to the scene expected by the current user. Alternatively, the process may have different triggering patterns, such as step 405-1 and step 405-2.

405-1, the plc master device 10 receives a service request, which may include a scene identification.

Illustratively, the user may generate a service request through an APP for assembly, smart life, etc., for example, the service request includes a Scene identifier (Scene ID) of "viewing mode", and after receiving the service request, the PLC host device 10 obtains the Scene identifier (Scene ID) in the service request.

Alternatively, the implementation process according to step 405-2:

405-2, the user triggers the PLC master device 10 to acquire the current scene identification through the PLC switch.

For example, a control panel or a physical key with a switch function may be installed in a home Scene, when a user triggers an illumination lamp in the home to enter a "viewing mode" through a PLC switch of the control panel or the physical key, the trigger instruction may be transmitted to the PLC master device 10, and after the PLC master device 10 receives the trigger instruction, the current Scene identifier (Scene ID) is obtained.

Alternatively, the user may set the current Scene through the PLC switch, and the PLC master device 10 directly acquires the Scene identification (Scene ID); or, the user only triggers the illumination lamp 21 to start working and change color through the PLC switch, and the PLC master device 10 judges or screens the rule that the current Scene may be the "viewing mode" according to the color change rule of the illumination lamp 21, so that the PLC master device 10 locates the current Scene as the "viewing mode" and obtains the Scene identifier (Scene ID), which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

At 406, plc master device 10 obtains the scene identification and generates a broadcast message based on the scene identification.

407, the PLC master device 10 transmits the broadcast message to the PLC sub device 20.

408, the plc sub device 20 determines a delay attribute rule corresponding to the scene according to the scene identifier included in the broadcast message, and executes the delay attribute rule.

Specifically, the PLC master device 10 may broadcast a Scene identification (Scene ID) to the PLC link layer through a broadcast message, and the PLC sub device 20 determines a current Scene from the stored one or more scenes according to the Scene identification (Scene ID) included in the broadcast message after receiving the broadcast message. For example, the current "viewing mode" is determined according to the Scene identification (Scene ID), that is, the delay attribute rule corresponding to the "viewing mode" is determined, and the delay attribute rule corresponding to the "viewing mode" is executed. In other words, after the PLC sub-device 20 receives the broadcast message, it searches and parses the data or information related to the delay attribute rule from itself, extracts the delay attribute, sets the own delay time according to the delay attribute, and switches the own operating state according to the delay time.

As shown in fig. 5, in one possible manner, a user may trigger the PLC master device 10 to send a broadcast message to one or more PLC sub-devices, including a Scene ID, by generating a service request through an APP for maintenance, smart life, etc.

In another possible manner, the user may trigger the PLC master device 10 to send a broadcast message at the PLC link layer through the PLC switch, where the broadcast message includes a Scene ID (Scene ID).

In this way, when the PLC master device fails, the user may trigger the PLC master device to send a broadcast message at the PLC link layer through the PLC switch or the physical key, where the broadcast message includes a Scene ID (Scene ID). After receiving the broadcast message, the PLC sub-equipment can still determine the delay attribute rule to be executed according to the Scene identification (Scene ID) in the broadcast message, and execute the related control instruction according to the corresponding delay attribute rule.

In yet another possible implementation manner, the PLC master device 10 may also control the PLC sub device 20 to stop executing the delay attribute rule executed in steps 406 to 408 by building or adding a "stop scene" in the PLC protocol, through the delay attribute rule corresponding to the "stop scene". In other words, in step 402, when the PLC master device 10 creates and generates a "delay attribute rule" corresponding to a different Scene for the PLC sub device 20, a delay attribute rule corresponding to a "stop Scene" is also created, when the Scene identifier (Scene ID) in the broadcast message in step 407 indicates the "stop Scene", and when the PLC sub device 20 receives the broadcast message, the data or information related to the built-in delay attribute rule may be deleted, and the execution of step 406 is stopped, that is, the delay attribute or the time timer of the PLC sub device 20 is deleted.

Alternatively, table 2 lists one possible "delay attribute rule" for a "stop scenario". For example, as shown in table 2, in the specific implementation process, data or information related to a delay attribute rule corresponding to "stop scene" may be newly added in the PLC protocol. In table 2, the attribute code (Func code) may be assigned to "0x14", and the Status code (Status code) may be assigned to "0x03", indicating that: and stopping executing the delay attribute at present, and not returning a response message, wherein the change of the delay attribute is not reported.

TABLE 2

/>

In summary, through the above manner, a user may configure the original rule data to the whole-house intelligent host through the APP such as dimension loading and intelligent life, and the whole-house intelligent host may analyze the original rule data, obtain data corresponding to the delay attribute rule of each PLC sub-device in different scenes, create the delay attribute rule in different scenes into a preset data format according to the conversion rule, and embed the delay attribute rule in different scenes into the PLC sub-device. In the process that a user expects to control the PLC sub-equipment, the whole-house intelligent host computer only sends a message containing the scene identifier through the broadcast message, and the scene identifier is transmitted to the PLC sub-equipment, so that the PLC sub-equipment can analyze the broadcast message to obtain the scene identifier, extract the delay attribute according to the data corresponding to the delay attribute rule built-in by analyzing the scene identifier, and directly set the delay time according to the delay attribute to change the working state of the PLC sub-equipment. The process can realize the distributed control of the PLC sub-equipment in a time delay scene, reduce the number of the messages of the PLC link layer of the whole-house intelligent host, and improve the control success rate of the PLC equipment.

In addition, when the whole-house intelligent host fails, the whole-house intelligent host can be triggered to send a broadcast message on the PLC link layer through a PLC switch or a physical key and the like, and the broadcast message comprises a Scene identifier (Scene ID) so that the controllability of a time delay rule can be still realized after the whole-house intelligent host is disconnected, and the control efficiency of equipment is improved.

Finally, in the method, the whole house intelligent host can also build or add a delay attribute rule corresponding to the 'stop scene', and when the PLC sub-equipment receives the broadcast message including the scene identifier of the 'stop scene', the PLC sub-equipment can be controlled to stop executing the delay attribute rule through the delay attribute rule corresponding to the 'stop scene', and rule data built in the PLC sub-equipment are deleted, so that the time timer of the PLC sub-equipment is stopped. The process expands the content of the PLC protocol, increases the controllability of the PLC sub-equipment and improves the user experience.
