Driving control device for air conditioner
First Claim
1. A driving control device for an air conditioner in which an integral controller (5B) is connected to a plurality of air conditioning units (3, 3, . . . ) so that control signals are transmitted and received between each of the air conditioning units (3, 3, . . . ) and the integral controller (5B), said driving control device comprising:
- setting range specifying means (52) provided in the integral controller (5B) for specifying a range of address settings within which an address can be set to each of the air conditioning units (3, 3, . . . ) managed by the integral controller (5B);
signal transmitting means (53) provided in the integral controller (5B) for outputting a signal showing the range of address settings to each of the air conditioning units (3, 3, . . . ) based on the range of address settings which has been specified by the setting range specifying means (52); and
setting allowing means (32) provided in each of the air conditioning units (3, 3, . . . ) for outputting a signal allowing an address setting when receiving the signal showing the range of address settings which has been outputted from the signal transmitting means (53) of the integral controller (5B).

Abstract
An ON-OFF controller (5B) connected to a plurality of indoor units (3, 3, . . . ) specifies a range of address settings of each of the indoor units (3, 3, . . . ) managed by the ON-OFF controller (5B), and outputs a signal showing the range of address settings to the respective indoor units (3, 3, . . . ) based on the range of address settings. When receiving the signal showing the range of address settings from the ON-OFF controller (5B), each of the indoor units (3, 3, . . . ) outputs to a remote control (4) a signal allowing an address setting, and stores an address for itself inputted from the remote control (4). The remote control (4) indicates the range of address settings when receiving the signal allowing an address setting from the indoor unit (3, 3, . . . ), and has an input button (4c) by which an address of the indoor unit (3, 3, . . . ) is inputted.

5. A driving control device for an air conditioner in which an integral controller (5B) is connected to a plurality of air conditioning units (3, 3, . . . ) and each of the air conditioning units (3, 3, . . . ) is connected to address setting means (4) for setting an address of the air conditioning unit (3) so that control signals are transmitted and received between each of the air conditioning units (3, 3, . . . ) and the integral controller (5B) based on the address set by the address setting means (4), said driving control device comprising:
-
data output means (35) provided in each of the air conditioning units (3, 3, . . . ) for, when the set address is changed by the address setting means (4), outputting changed data together with the changed address; and address canceling means (54) provided in the integral controller (5B) for, when receiving the changed data outputted from the data output means (35) of the air conditioning unit (3, 3, . . . ), canceling an address registered therein with respect to the air conditioning unit (3, 3, . . . ) having the changed address and storing the changed address.
