Abstract

The present invention discloses an equipment status controlling method and equipment. The method comprises arranging a corresponding wireless communicating part for at least one component of a piece of equipment, the wireless communicating part comprising a storage unit for storing component information and a transmitting unit for transmitting the component information based on wireless signal; receiving the wireless signal transmitted by the wireless communicating part and parsing the wireless signal to obtain the component information. The equipment status controlling method and equipment provided by the invention obtain the status of a component in the equipment correctly and easily by arranging wireless communicating part on the components. Arranging the wireless communicating part and reading the wireless signal can be realized easily, which substantially will not affect the existing work of the equipment and can obtain the status of the components without disassembling or replacing the components. As for large-scale equipment, status of each component can be obtained by arranging a corresponding wireless communicating part for each component so as to do corresponding maintenance and repair processing work in time. The operation is to be realized at a low cost.
