AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS APPARATUS AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS RESULT DISPLAY APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An air conditioning system diagnosis apparatus comprising:
- communication means for, in an air conditioning system in which a plurality of devices are connected by a network and the related devices transmit and receive a control signal or the like to and from each other over the network, performing communication between the devices over the network;
device type identifying means for indentifying a device type that indicates a type of each device;
communication list generating means for generating a communication list that includes a combination of the devices being a communication source and a communication destination of the control signal or the like;
system structure analyzing means for deriving system structure information that indicates a device configuration of the air conditioning system from the device type and the communication list;
system diagnosis means for performing a diagnosis on the air conditioning system using information acquired through the communication means and deriving a diagnosis result;
diagnosis result superimposed diagram generating means for generating a system structure diagram on the basis of the system structure information acquired from the system structure analyzing means and superimposing an highlighted content of the diagnosis result in the system structure diagram; and
a display unit that acquires the system structure diagram in which the content of the diagnosis result is superimposed from the diagnosis result superimposed diagram generating means and displaying the system structure diagram.

Abstract
An air conditioning system diagnosis apparatus and an air conditioning system diagnosis result display apparatus capable of representing various kinds of failures with high visibility by generating a system structure diagram that illustrates an air conditioning system in a different form depending on a detected failure and illustrating the failure using this system structure diagram are obtainable. Diagnosis result superimposed diagram generating means for generating a system structure diagram that includes icons, such as an icon of an outdoor unit and an icon of an indoor unit, and a line that links them on the basis of system structure information derived by system structure analyzing means and for superimposing a refrigeration cycle diagnosis result derived by refrigeration cycle analyzing means in the vicinity of an icon of a concerned device in the system structure diagram is included.
