The ventilation system, even if it is small, includes some elements. In the event that certain sectors of the entire system, namely plugs, heaters, coolers, valves, etc., are equipped with small sensors and a special control panel is connected, then there is no need for manual adjustment of ventilation indicators.
In order for the automatic control system to function more efficiently, microprocessor controllers are used as a base for creating boards. Usually use those chips that can be programmed. The control panel with a microprocessor controller is also capable of more complete data collection from sensors and their further analysis. The process of this collection is as follows: the controller compares the actual parameters with those that were set, then the signal received as a result of the comparison is processed. After it, the control signal is sent to the execution device.
The communication system is conducted in several directions at once. Data collection is carried out using special sensors, after which an analysis of all the collected data is performed by the control panel, special communication equipment. Such a shield may take the form of a personal computer, laptop or mobile phone. Using these devices, the dispatcher always knows the characteristics of the system and those indicators that come from microprocessor controllers. Typically, data collection is based on the following indicators:
Temperature level.
Qualitative composition of air.
The level of pressure that acts in the air shaft.
The time when all necessary filters should be replaced.
Emergency level.
When certain signals are received, immediate intervention by the dispatcher is necessary. It is possible to suspend all work until the necessary measures are taken to solve the problem. This can only be done if a special module is installed in the ventilation control panel, with which it communicates with the telephone or the operator’s personal computer.
Communication tools allow you to intervene remotely in the ventilation process in order to further adjust and change the parameters that were previously set. This function, which the operator panel provides to the operator, although it sounds a bit fantastic, but has long been used in real practice.
By using programmable controllers with open protocols, you can remove all the differences between a variety of devices. Such sensors allow you to install control units that are assembled from different modules. Thus, it is possible to reduce the cost of the entire ventilation system as a whole, without compromising quality.
In addition, if you use a pump control panel, you can reduce the cost of energy resources and equipment, which is necessary to protect the system from voltage surges and improper use.
