の伝送回路と二本の信号線をもっている。The conventional multi-air conditioning system is the Hitachi Hyoron building individual air-conditioning system "Intelligent High Multi-Set Free 4".
As shown in 1988-7, a plurality of indoor units are connected to an outdoor unit through refrigerant piping, so that each room can be heated and cooled individually. In this way, in order to integrate the distributed indoor units and operate them with the outdoor unit, a transmission line is provided between the outdoor unit and the indoor unit, and control information is exchanged through this line. Therefore, it has a transmission circuit for this signal and two signal lines.
これは、音声情報を直接伝送することはできない。It cannot directly transmit audio information.

高くなることが懸念される。Recent multi-air conditioning systems are becoming increasingly large-scale, with an indoor unit connected to an outdoor unit. At this time, the indoor units are distributed over several tens of meters in the horizontal direction and the height direction, and their operation is controlled individually. For this reason, trial runs and adjustments after installation currently require a large amount of manpower and time. On the other hand, if it becomes possible to mutually exchange information between indoor and outdoor units, it can be expected to save a considerable amount of manpower and time. Therefore, one method is to input information using a keyboard input device and display the information using a liquid crystal display device. However, this method may not be able to efficiently exchange a large amount of information, and there is also concern that the price of the device itself will increase.
本発明の目的は、大規模なマルチ空調システムの据付後

It is designed to transmit.
