Abstract

The system has a number of remote signal generators (1-7) that communicate bidirectionally with a central station (12) via a number of substations (8-11). Each of the substations is also in bidirectional contact with each other. A number of substations (9-11) may be in direct contact with the central station. The mode of communication is determined by a Received-Signal-Strength-Indicator (RSSI) table which defines channel quality and synchronises substations with central station. The communication channels are constantly monitored, and transmission quality is measured and stored on a microcomputer system of the central station.

Description

Translated fromGerman

Die Erfindung betrifft eine funkgesteuerte Gefahrenmeldeanlage, insbesondereBrandmelde-, Einbruchsmelde-, Notruf-, Personenruf- oder Alarmanlage, mitmindestens einem Melder bzw. einer Signalmeldeeinheit, wenigstens einerUnterzentrale und einer Zentrale. Ein Melder bzw. eine Signalmeldeeinheit bestehtaus einem Sender, einem Empfänger, einem Mikroprozessorsystem undeinem Sensor. Eine Unterzentrale besteht aus einem Sender, einem Empfängerund einem Mikroprozessorsystem. Die Zentrale besteht aus einem Sender,einem Empfänger und einem Mikrocomputersystem.The invention relates to a radio-controlled hazard alarm system, in particularFire alarm, intrusion alarm, emergency call, paging or alarm system, withat least one detector or a signaling unit, at least oneSub-center and one center. There is a detector or a signaling unitfrom a transmitter, a receiver, a microprocessor system anda sensor. A sub-center consists of a transmitter, a receiverand a microprocessor system. The central office consists of a transmitter,a receiver and a microcomputer system.

Aus der Praxis sind Gefahrenmeldeanlagen bekannt, die im Regelfall aus einerZentrale, die einen Empfänger enthält, sowie aus einer Anzahl von Meldemund/oder Schalteinrichtungen bestehen, die jeweils über einen Sender verfügen.Anders ist dies aber im Falle einer Personenrufanlage, die in der Regelaus einem Sender und einer Reihe von mobilen Empfängern besteht, die jeweilsvon den aufzusuchenden Personen mitgeführt werden.Danger alarm systems are known from practice, which usually consist of aCentral, which contains a recipient, as well as a number of notifiersand / or switching devices, each of which has a transmitter.This is different in the case of a paging system, which is usuallyconsists of a transmitter and a number of mobile receivers, eachbe carried by the persons to be visited.

Ein Nachteil von derartigen funkgesteuerten Anlagen besteht darin, daß diesenur eine eingeschränkte Reichweite besitzen. Die Reichweite ist abhängig vonder Sendeleistung des Funksenders, der Selektivität des Funkempfängers sowieder Beschaffenheit des Übertragungsweges. Die Sendeleistung des Funksenders,wie auch die Selektivität des Funkempfängers, stellen technischeGrößen dar, die durch die Anlage selbst vorgegeben sind. Die Beschaffenheit des Übertragungsweges ist hingegen abhängig vom Anlagenstandort. Durchdie Lage und die baulichen Gegebenheiten des Anlagenstandortes kommt esmanchmal zu Abschirmungseffekten oder anderen Störungen, welche dieÜbertragungsstrecke zwischen Sender und Empfänger stören oder gar blockieren.In derartigen Fällen wird die Anlage sowohl auf Senderseite als auch aufEmpfängerseite teilverdrahtet, d.h. man installiert die Sender und Empfängeran denjenigen Orten, an denen eine gegenseitige Kommunikation möglich ist.Diese Teilverdrahtung entspricht aber nicht der Zielsetzung funkgesteuerterAnlagen, da gerade bei diesen Anlagen eine aufwendige und zeitintensive Verdrahtungentfallen soll. Außerdem verliert eine teilverdrahtete Anlage ihre Mobilität,die eben gerade bei derartigen funkgesteuerten Anlagen gewünschtwird.A disadvantage of such radio-controlled systems is that theyonly have a limited range. The range depends onthe transmission power of the radio transmitter, the selectivity of the radio receiver andthe nature of the transmission path. The transmission power of the radio transmitter,as well as the selectivity of the radio receiver, make technicalSizes that are specified by the system itself. The naturethe transmission path, however, depends on the plant location. Bythe location and the structural conditions of the plant location come into playsometimes shielding effects or other disturbances that affect theDisrupt or even block the transmission path between transmitter and receiver.In such cases, the system is both on the transmitter side and onPartly wired on the receiver side, i.e. the transmitters and receivers are installedin those places where mutual communication is possible.However, this partial wiring does not correspond to the objective of radio-controlledSystems, because these systems in particular require complex and time-consuming wiringshould be eliminated. In addition, a partially wired system loses its mobility,just wanted in such radio controlled systemsbecomes.

Um dieses Problem zu umgehen, wird in der DE-U-296 01 436 vorgeschlagen,zwischen der Signalmeldeeinheit und der Signalempfangseinheit zumindesteine Zwischenstation anzuordnen, die ein von der Signalmeldeeinheit ausgesandtesSignal an die Signalempfangseinheit weiterleitet.To avoid this problem, DE-U-296 01 436 proposesat least between the signaling unit and the signal receiving unitto arrange an intermediate station, the one emitted by the signaling unitPasses signal to the signal receiving unit.

Problematisch bei Gefahrenmeldeanlagen ist gerade die Gewährleistung einersicheren Datenkommunikation zwischen den einzelnen Komponenten der Anlage.Außerdem muß bei jeder Erweiterung der Anlage um beispielsweise einenMelder und/oder eine Unterzentrale diesen jeweils eine Identifikationsnummerzugewiesen werden. Damit sich die einzelnen Sendeeinheiten derAnlage nicht stören, muß jeweils eine vordefinierte Frequenz bzw. ein Frequenzbandjedem einzelnen Sender der Anlage zugeordnet werden. Wird nunim Anlagenbereich durch einen Störsender eine bestimme Frequenz bzw. einFrequenzband in erheblichem Maße überlagert bzw. gestört, so kann keineKommunikation mehr zwischen dem Sender, der diese Frequenz bzw. dieses Frequenzband verwendet, und der Zwischenstation stattfinden. Diese Anlageneinheitwird folglich blockiert.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, diese Probleme zu umgehen und zu gewährleisten,daß stets eine gute Verbindung zwischen den einzelnen Komponentender Anlage besteht.
The problem with hazard detection systems is particularly the guarantee of secure data communication between the individual components of the system. In addition, each time the system is expanded by, for example, a detector and / or a sub-control center, each of these must be assigned an identification number. So that the individual transmitter units of the system do not interfere, a predefined frequency or a frequency band must be assigned to each individual transmitter of the system. If a specific frequency or a frequency band is overlaid or disturbed to a considerable extent in the system area by a jamming transmitter, then communication can no longer take place between the transmitter using this frequency or this frequency band and the intermediate station. This plant unit is consequently blocked.
The object of the invention is to avoid these problems and to ensure that there is always a good connection between the individual components of the system.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen des kennzeichnendenTeils des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Im einzelnen wird jede Komponente der Anlage mit derFähigkeit ausgestattet, bidirektional auf verschiedenen Kanälen, die sichauch auf verschiedenen Frequenzbändern befinden können, zu kommunizieren,d.h. jede Komponente der Anlage ist sowohl mit einem Sender, als auchmit einem Empfänger ausgestattet. Jede neu hinzukommende Unterzentralesowie alle Melder werden nur noch bei der Zentrale angemeldet. Die Zentralevergibt dann jeder neu hinzukommenden Komponente eine Identifikationsnummerund teilt diese allen anderen Komponenten mit.
Die Unterzentralen werden in der Art und Weise installiert, daß zwischen ihneneine ständige Funkkommunikation gewährleistet ist. Da hierdurch ein erhöhtesKommunikationsaufkommen entsteht, ist es von Vorteil, wenn alle Unterzentraleneinen eigenen Netzanschluß haben. Es müssen so viele Unterzentraleninstalliert werden, daß jeder Melder eine sichere Kommunikation mit zumindesteiner Unterzentrale hat.
Nach der Inbetriebnahme der Anlage synchronisieren sich alle Unterzentralenauf die Hauptzentrale. Nach einem festgelegten Zeitraster erfolgt die Nachsynchronisationund ein Austausch von Informationen über die bevorzugt zu belegendenKanäle. Dies erfolgt auf Basis einer RSSI-Tabelle (Received-Signal-Strength-lndicator-Tabelle),die von jeder Unterzentrale durch ständiges Scannendes zur Verfügung stehenden Frequenzbandes bzw. der Frequenzbänderermittelt wird. Alle Unterzentralen legen eine eigene RSSI-Tabelle an undübermitteln diese in regelmäßigen Zeitabständen an die Zentrale. Die Zentraleverwaltet diese Tabellen und koordiniert aufgrund dieser Tabellen, welche Unterzentralen auf welchen bevorzugten Funkkanälen miteinander kommunizieren.
Soll ein Melder eine Alarmnachricht absetzten, so geht er wie folgt vor:Zunächst führt er einen RSSI-Scan durch, um einen freien Kanal zu ermitteln.Danach setzt er seine Nachricht ab und wartet auf die Bestätigung des Erhaltsder Nachricht durch die Unterzentrale. Erst wenn er eine Bestätigung seitensder Unterzentrale über den Erhalt seiner Nachricht empfangen hat, kann derMelder davon ausgehen, daß seine Nachricht erhalten wurde und weitergegebenwird. Solange dieser Melder keine Bestätigung seiner Nachricht erhaltenhat, wird er in konstanten, vordefinierten Zeitabständen diese Nachricht emeutabsetzen. Die Unterzentrale ihrerseits findet die Nachricht des Melders, da sieständig einen RSSI-Scan durchführt. Sie gibt die Nachricht an eine weitereUnterzentrale oder an die Zentrale direkt weiter. Nur in der Zentrale werden dieNachrichten der Melder ausgewertet und entsprechende Maßnahmen eingeleitet.
Um die Übertragungssicherheit noch weiter zu steigern, kann man die Melderund die Unterzentralen so anordnen, daß jeder Melder mit mindestens zweiUnterzentralen kommunizieren kann. Durch diese Redundanz wird ein möglicherAusfall einer Unterzentrale kompensiert.
Außerdem kann die Übertragungssicherheit noch weiter erhöht werden, indemman die Qualität der Übertragung durch Einleiten eines Loopback-Modes überprüft,d.h. daß die Module, die miteinander kommunizieren, diejenigen Daten,die sie erhalten haben, an den Sender zurückschicken. Dieser kann dann ermitteln,ob etwa Übertragungsfehler aufgetreten sind.
Außerdem kann vereinbart werden, daß in größeren Zeitabständen die Melderauf die Unterzentralen hören, um eine Aufforderung zur Anwesenheitsmeldungzu empfangen. Auf diese Weise kann eine eingeschränkte Funktionsprüfungder Melder erfolgen.
This object is achieved with the features of the characterizing part ofclaim 1. In particular, each component of the system is equipped with the ability to communicate bidirectionally on different channels, which can also be on different frequency bands, ie each component of the system is equipped with both a transmitter and a receiver. Every new sub-control center and all detectors are only registered with the control center. The control center then assigns each newly added component an identification number and communicates this to all other components.
The sub-centers are installed in such a way that permanent radio communication is guaranteed between them. Since this results in an increased communication volume, it is advantageous if all sub-centers have their own network connection. So many sub-control centers must be installed that each detector has secure communication with at least one sub-control center.
After commissioning the system, all sub-centers synchronize with the main center. The post-synchronization and an exchange of information about the channels to be assigned preferentially take place after a defined time grid. This is done on the basis of an RSSI table (Received Signal Strength Indicator Table), which is determined by each sub-control center by constantly scanning the available frequency band or the frequency bands. All sub-centers create their own RSSI table and transmit this to the center at regular intervals. The central office manages these tables and uses these tables to coordinate which sub-centers communicate with each other on which preferred radio channels.
If a detector is to send an alarm message, it proceeds as follows: First, it carries out an RSSI scan to determine a free channel. He then issues his message and waits for the sub-center to confirm that he has received the message. Only when he has received confirmation from the sub-center that his message has been received can the detector assume that his message has been received and will be passed on. As long as this detector has not received confirmation of its message, it will send this message again at constant, predefined time intervals. For its part, the sub-center finds the message from the detector, since it continuously carries out an RSSI scan. It forwards the message to another sub-control center or to the control center directly. The messages from the detectors are evaluated and appropriate measures initiated only at the control center.
In order to further increase the security of transmission, the detectors and sub-control panels can be arranged so that each detector can communicate with at least two sub-control panels. This redundancy compensates for a possible failure of a sub-control center.
In addition, the transmission security can be further increased by checking the quality of the transmission by initiating a loopback mode, that is to say that the modules which communicate with one another send the data which they have received back to the transmitter. The latter can then determine whether transmission errors have occurred.
It can also be agreed that the detectors listen to the sub-control centers at longer intervals in order to receive a request to report presence. In this way, the function of the detectors can be restricted.

Um die Lebensdauer der Spannungsquellen, insbesondere Batterien, von eigenversorgtenAnlagenteilen zu erhöhen, senden diese Anlagenteile der Gefahrenmeldeanlagenur mit reduzierter Sendeenergie. Wird nun durch einenAnlagenteil, beispielsweise einer Unterzentrale, bei einem RSSI-Scan ein Störsendererkannt, der eine Verfälschung oder gar ein Blockieren des bidirektionalenFunkverkehrs für die Gefahrenmeldeanlage zur Folge haben kann, so teiltderjenige Anlagenteil diesen Umstand der Zentrale mit. Die Zentrale weist nunalle Anlagenteile an, auf eine höhere Sendeleistung umzustellen. Dadurch wirddie Verfälschung des empfangenen Signals reduziert. Es besteht auch dieMöglichkeit, daß der Befehl zur Erhöhung der Sendeleistung von dem Anlagenteilgeneriert wird, der den Störsender entdeckt hat. In diesem Fall wird die Reaktionszeitweiter verkürzt. Der Anlagenteil, der den Störsender entdeckt hat,wird nun in regelmäßigen Zeitabständen kontrollieren, ob der Störsender nochvorhanden ist. Stellt er fest, daß der Störsender nicht mehr aktiv ist, so teilt erdiesen Umstand der Zentrale mit, die nun alle Anlagenteile anweist, wieder aufdie reduzierte Sendeenergie zurückzuschalten. Diese Anweisung kann wiederumauch von dem Anlagenteil generiert werden, der den Störsender erkannthat und diesen überwacht.
Auf diese Weise wird gewährleistet, daß die Lebensdauer der Spannungsquellenvon eigenversorgten Anlagenteilen erhöht wird, da diese Teile häufig nurmit reduzierter Sendeenergie arbeiten. Zugleich wird auch eine Erhöhung derDatensicherheit gewährleistet, da im Falle des Vorliegens eines Störsendersdie Anlage auf eine höhere Sendeleistung umschaltet. Hierdurch wird eine erhöhteÜbertragungssicherheit erreicht, da die Verfälschung der Funksignale derGefahrenmeldeanlage durch den Störsender reduziert wird.
In order to increase the lifespan of the voltage sources, in particular batteries, of self-supplied parts of the system, these parts of the system send the hazard alarm system only with reduced transmission energy. If a system component, for example a sub-control center, detects a jamming transmitter during an RSSI scan, which can result in falsification or even blocking of the bidirectional radio communication for the hazard alarm system, the system component communicates this fact to the control center. The control center now instructs all system parts to switch to a higher transmission power. This reduces the distortion of the received signal. There is also the possibility that the command to increase the transmission power is generated by the part of the system which has discovered the jammer. In this case, the response time is further reduced. The part of the system that has discovered the jammer will now check at regular intervals whether the jammer is still present. If he determines that the jammer is no longer active, he informs the central office, which is now instructing all system parts to switch back to the reduced transmission energy. This instruction can in turn also be generated by the plant part that has recognized the jammer and is monitoring it.
This ensures that the service life of the voltage sources of self-supplied system parts is increased, since these parts often only work with reduced transmission energy. At the same time, an increase in data security is also guaranteed, since in the event of a jamming transmitter, the system switches over to a higher transmission power. In this way, increased transmission security is achieved, since the distortion of the radio signals of the alarm system by the jammer is reduced.

  • Fig. 2 is a block diagram of a detector
  • Fig. 3 is a block diagram of a sub-center
  • Fig. 4 is a block diagram of a center
  • Figur 1 zeigt eine erfindungsgemäße funkgesteuerte Gefahrenmeldeanlage, diebeispielsweise aus sieben Meldern, bezeichnet mit den Nummern 1 bis 7, vierUnterzentralen, bezeichnet mit den Nummern 8 bis 11 und einer Zentrale 12besteht. Jede der vier Unterzentralen ist derart angebracht, daß jeder der siebenMelder zumindest mit einer Unterzentrale in bidirektionaler Funkverbindungsteht. Die Unterzentralen sind derart angebracht, daß jede Unterzentrale zumindestmit einer anderen Unterzentrale in bidirektionaler Funkverbindungsteht. Im Ausführungsbeispiel stehen beispielsweise die Unterzentralen 8 und10 nicht in direkter Funkverbindung mit der Zentrale 12. Mit dieser haben nurdie Unterzentrale 9 und die Unterzentrale 11 eine bidirektionale Funkverbindung.Die Unterzentrale 8 kann aber wahlweise über die Unterzentrale 9 oderdie Unterzentrale 11, mit denen sie eine bidirektionale Funkverbindung hat, eineNachricht an die Zentrale 12 übermitteln.
    Auf diese Weise kann ein flächendeckendes Netzwerk, bestehend aus einerZentrale und einer beliebigen Anzahl von Meldem und Unterzentralen, aufgebautwerden. Es muß hierbei nur gewährleistet sein, daß jeder Melder mit mindestenseiner Unterzentrale bidirektionale Funkverbindung hat. Die Unterzentrale hingegen muß ihrerseits zumindest mit einer anderen Unterzentrale einebidirektionale Funkverbindung haben.
    Setzt nun beispielsweise der Melder 7 eine Alarmnachricht ab, so wird diesevon der Unterzentrale 8 empfangen. Die Unterzentrale 8 sendet nun die Empfangsbestätigungan den Melder 7 zurück. Dieser erkennt somit, daß seineNachricht empfangen worden ist. Die Unterzentrale 8 kann nun die Alarmnachrichtdes Melders 7 nicht direkt an die Zentrale12 senden, da mit dieser keinebidirektionale Funkverbindung besteht. Die Unterzentrale 8 kann nun aberwahlweise die Alarmnachricht des Melders 7 an eine andere Unterzentraleweiterleiten. In Figur 1 besteht die Auswahl zwischen der Unterzentrale 9 undder Unterzentrale 11, da mit diesen beiden Unterzentralen eine bidirektionaleFunkverbindung besteht. Die Unterzentrale 8 wird nun aus ihrer RSSI-Tabelleden besten Kanal auswählen und dann die Alarmnachricht an die vorher durchdie Zentrale 12 festgelegte Unterzentrale senden. Dies ist beispielsweise dieUnterzentrale 11. Diese sendet nun ihrerseits eine Bestätigung des Empfangesder Alarmnachricht an die Unterzentrale 8 zurück. Diese erkennt so, daß dieUnterzentrale 11 die Nachricht erhalten hat. Die Unterzentrale 11 ihrerseitsentnimmt nun aus ihrer RSSI-Tabelle einen geeigneten Kanal für die Funkverbindungmit der Zentrale 12, zu der sie eine bidirektionale Funkverbindung hat,und sendet die Alarmnachricht des Melders 7 über den ermittelten Kanal an dieZentrale 12. Diese bestätigt den Empfang der Nachricht, wertet die Nachricht.aus und leitet entsprechende Maßnahmen ein.
    FIG. 1 shows a radio-controlled hazard alarm system according to the invention, which consists, for example, of seven detectors, designated with thenumbers 1 to 7, four sub-centers, designated with thenumbers 8 to 11 and acentral office 12. Each of the four sub-control panels is attached in such a way that each of the seven detectors is in bidirectional radio communication with at least one sub-control panel. The sub-centers are installed in such a way that each sub-center is at least in bidirectional radio communication with another sub-center. In the exemplary embodiment, for example, thesub-centers 8 and 10 are not in direct radio connection with thecenter 12. Only the sub-center 9 and the sub-center 11 have a bidirectional radio connection with this. However, thesub-control center 8 can optionally transmit a message to thecontrol center 12 via the sub-control center 9 or thesub-control center 11, with which it has a bidirectional radio connection.
    In this way, a nationwide network consisting of a control center and any number of detectors and sub-control centers can be set up. It is only necessary to ensure that each detector has at least one sub-center bidirectional radio connection. The sub-center, on the other hand, must in turn have a bidirectional radio connection with at least one other sub-center.
    If, for example, thedetector 7 issues an alarm message, this is received by thesub-control center 8.Sub-control center 8 now sends the acknowledgment of receipt back todetector 7. This recognizes that his message has been received. Thesub-control center 8 can now not send the alarm message from thedetector 7 directly to thecontrol center 12, since there is no bidirectional radio connection with it.Sub-control center 8 can now optionally forward the alarm message ofdetector 7 to another sub-control center. In FIG. 1, there is a choice between sub-center 9 andsub-center 11, since there is a bidirectional radio connection with these two sub-centers.Sub-control center 8 will now select the best channel from its RSSI table and then send the alarm message to the sub-control center previously defined bycontrol center 12. This is, for example,sub-control center 11. This, in turn, now sends confirmation of receipt of the alarm message back tosub-control center 8. This recognizes that the sub-center 11 has received the message. Thesub-control center 11 in turn now takes a suitable channel for the radio connection to thecontrol center 12 from its RSSI table, to which it has a bidirectional radio connection, and sends the alarm message of thedetector 7 to thecontrol center 12 via the determined channel. This confirms the reception of the message, evaluate the message. and initiates appropriate measures.
