Abstract

The device has, for each room, a room module (10, 24) with an integrated sensor system (18) and electrical power terminals (20, 22), among other things, for an actuating system with no more than the poles of the electric power mains. The room module(s) (10, 24) is/are placed directly with a central module (36) or with distributor modules (32) in a data bus (16) that, itself, is located with the central module (36) in a data bus (34).

Claims

1. A device for automating building services and possibly safety monitoring of a building, of an industrial plant, of a building and/or plant complex or a working unit thereof, which has at least one room, characterized in that a monitoring and/or measuring and/or closed-loop control and/or open-loop control module with integrated sensor system and one or more electrical power terminal/power terminals having no more than the poles of the electrical power line system each is provided for the or each room, and in that there is a data bus connection between the room module(s) and a higher-level monitoring and/or measuring and/or closed-loop control and/or open-loop control module.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the room module is provided with integrated sensor system for temperature and/or brightness and/or air composition, particularly concentration of CO₂, other gases or smoke, and/or movement in the room.

3. The device as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that at least one power terminal of the room module can be controlled on/off.

4. The device as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the output voltage of at least one power terminal of the room module can be regulated and/or controlled continuously or in steps.

5. The device as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the room module(s) is/are on a data bus with the central module.

6. The device as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that at least two room modules are on a data bus with a higher-level monitoring and/or measuring and/or closed-loop control and/or open-loop control module and at least two distributor modules are on a data bus with the central module.

7. The device as claimed in claim 6, characterized in that the distributor modules are programmable.

8. The device as claimed in claim 6, characterized in that at least one distributor module communicates with the outside world.

9. The device as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the central module is programmable.

10. The device as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the central module communicates with the outside world.

11. A device for automating building services and possibly safety monitoring of a building, of an industrial plant, of a building and/or plant complex or of a working unit thereof, which has a number of rooms and in which a monitoring and/or measuring and/or closed-loop control and/or open-loop control module with integrated sensor system and one or more electrical power terminal/power terminals having no more than the poles of the electrical power line system each is provided for each room, wherein at least two room modules are on a data bus with a higher-level monitoring and/or measuring and/or closed-loop control and/or open-loop control module and at least two distributor modules are on one data bus with a higher-level monitoring and/or measuring and/or closed-loop control and/or open-loop control module.

12. The device as claimed in claim 11, characterized in that the room module is provided with integrated sensor system for temperature and/or brightness and/or air composition, particularly concentration of CO₂, other gases or smoke, and/or movement in the room.

13. The device as claimed in claim 11 wherein at least one power terminal of the room module can be controlled on/off.

14. The device as claimed in claim 11, wherein the output voltage of at least one power terminal of the room module can be regulated and/or controlled continuously or in steps.

15. The device as claimed in claim 11, wherein the distributor modules are programmable.

16. The device as claimed in claim 11 wherein at least one distributor module communicates with the outside world.

17. The device as claimed in claim 11, wherein the central module is programmable.

18. The device as claimed in claim 11, wherein the central module communicates with the outside world.
