Control system and method for IoT boilers using central management server
First Claim
1. A control system of an internet-of-things (IoT) boiler, comprising:
- a plurality of IoT boilers, each IoT boiler checks an operation state to transmit state information including its identification information, and senses whether or not a fault occurs through a sensor to transmit fault information including the identification information;
a plurality of manager terminals, each manager terminal includes a boiler control application for monitoring and controlling the IoT boilers, monitors states of the IoT boilers, receives control information for controlling the IoT boilers from a manager, and transmits the control information; and
a central management server that is connected to the IoT boilers and the manager terminals through a network, periodically or non-periodically receives and stores the state information of the IoT boilers from the IoT boilers, and receives the control information for controlling the IoT boilers from the manager terminals to perform control of the IoT boilers,wherein, when the central management server receives the fault information including the identification information from at least one IoT boiler among the plurality of IoT boilers, the central management serveridentifies at least one manager terminal, which corresponds to the identification information included in the fault information, among the plurality of manager terminals, based on data stored in a database of the central management server,transmits, to the at least one identified manager terminal, a fault code corresponding to the fault information, andreceives, from the at least one identified manager terminal, the control information for addressing the fault occurred in the at least one IoT boiler, andperform a fault addressing process for the at least one IoT boiler.
