Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for monitoring a two-wire line, in particular a two-wire line of a fire protection system and an associated method and an associated control module.
- fire protection systems for example for fire detection and alarm generation, must be certified and, in particular, the compatibility of system components must be assessed.
- a resistance of a two-wire line to which subscribers, such as alarm devices and / or tripping devices is not above a certain value in order to be able to provide sufficient current or voltage in the event of tripping and not to jeopardize the tripping.
- a series resistance R L in the longitudinal direction of the line and a parallel resistance Rs between the two lines can be described. Too high a series resistance R L means that the voltage applied between the lines is insufficient to trip subscribers, for example valves. At the same time, it must be ensured that the parallel resistance Rs does not become too small, which would correspond to the case of a short circuit of the two lines.
- EP 2 804 163 relates to methods for measuring a line resistance RL and thus for determining disturbances of control lines in such a hazard detection and control system.
- the system is not able to determine a parallel resistance between the two lines in addition to a series resistance of the line. In other words, the system makes it possible to determine only one of the two interesting resistance values or a total value resulting from both values.
- EP 2 916 303 A1 proposes a control device and a control method for a fire detection system, wherein the control device and the control method are capable of monitoring an on-line impedance or an inter-wire impedance of field wires.
- the device is connected to a line with a capacitive element connected to a remote end of the line.
- EP 3 062 299 A1 provides an apparatus and method for detecting and adapting to a line end resistance in a NAC of a control panel or power amplifier of, for example, an alarm system and for ground fault location in the alarm system.
- the device can be a
- a notification device circuit wherein the notification device circuit includes a first and a second analog input terminal, wherein the notification device circuit has a first and a second external input
- the notification device circuit includes a line end resistor.
- the Current may be routed through the notification device circuitry to input terminals, and the voltage may be measured at each of the first and second external output terminals.
- the measured voltage can be a value of Show line end resistance or state of the notification device circuit that is open, shorted, earth fault, or normal.
- the two-wire line is in particular a two-wire line of a fire protection system.
- the device comprises a passive termination component for terminating the two-wire line, wherein the passive termination component has a loadable energy store, a constant current source for providing a measurement current to the passive termination component, a voltage detection unit for detecting a voltage characteristic at output terminals of the two-wire line, a control unit for driving the constant current source and Evaluating the detected voltage waveform, wherein the control unit is adapted to separately determine a series resistance and a parallel resistance of the two-wire line.
- the control unit By virtue of the passive termination component according to the invention having a chargeable energy store, it is possible for the control unit to charge the loadable energy store by means of the constant current source.
- the detected voltage profile which is evaluated, for example, both during and after the operation of the constant current source, allows both a determination of the series resistance and the parallel resistance of the two-wire line in a simple manner, since the course of the voltage depends on basic resistances of the same resistances. While the measuring current is being supplied, the chargeable energy storage is charged, so that an increasing voltage is established. Without provision of the measuring current, the parallel resistance of the two-wire line together with the terminating component will form a closed circuit and lead to a self-discharge of the loadable energy store.
- the voltage waveforms detected during the provision of the measurement current and during a time when no measurement current is provided can be used to infer both the parallel resistance and the series resistance.
- the passive termination component is located at one end of the two-wire line remote from a fire alarm and / or extinguishing control panel.
- the arrangement at the end makes it possible in particular for the complete longitudinal portion of the line resistance to be detectable between the output terminals.
- the loadable energy store of the passive termination component is configured as a capacitor which can be arranged between the two wires of the two-wire line.
- a capacitor is a particularly simple and effective form of a loadable energy storage.
- other loadable energy storage such as accumulators, conceivable.
- all loadable energy stores can be used for the method, which have a differential equation equivalent to the capacitor for the loading and unloading process.
- the capacitor has a capacity which is above 0.1 pF, in particular above 1 pF and particularly preferably in the range from 1 pF to 10 pF. With a capacitance in the preferred range, it is ensured that the charging carried out by the measuring current as well as a self-discharge of the capacitor can take place in an order of magnitude which satisfy an effective determination of the line resistance according to EN54 part 13.
- control unit is adapted to the voltage waveform in response to a change in the provided measurement current evaluate.
- the control unit is adapted to the voltage waveform in response to a change in the provided measurement current evaluate.
- control unit is configured to charge the loadable energy store during a predetermined first time period by driving the constant current source and to evaluate a self-discharge of the loadable energy store during a subsequent second time period after switching off the constant current source.
- a voltage of the loadable energy storage is also evaluated during the first period.
- the predetermined first period is, for example, 0.5 ms.
- the predetermined second period of time directly adjoins the predetermined first time period and, for example, is also 0.5 ms.
- control unit is configured to determine the series resistance and the parallel resistance of the two-wire line from the time profile of the voltage during the first and second time periods.
- the control unit is configured to determine the series resistance and the parallel resistance of the two-wire line from the time profile of the voltage during the first and second time periods.
- the second period may have a different duration from the first period.
- a predetermined third period of time adjoins the predetermined second period of time before a new measurement takes place, beginning with the first period of time.
- the loadable energy store is preferably completely discharged, so that the renewed determination of the line resistances begins with a voltage of 0 V.
- the constant current source is preferably also turned off during the third time period.
- the loadable energy store is preferably discharged for this purpose during the third time period via a discharge resistor that can be connected, for example.
- the control unit is configured to determine the series resistance of the two-wire line based on a voltage change when switching on and / or switching off the constant current source. This simple Determination requires also high temporal accuracy and resolution of the measured value.
- control unit is set up to determine the parallel resistance and the series resistance of the two-wire line on the basis of two successive approximations of the voltage profile during the first and second time periods.
- the second time period and, based on this, the first time period are to be evaluated.
- control unit is configured to use discrete values of the detected voltage profile, in particular by means of the least squares method, to obtain constants of two linear equations of the first order voltage of a time-dependent variable during the first and second time periods to approximate.
- both linear equations lead to two parameters each, a constant parameter and a parameter dependent on time in the first order.
- a graph of the linear equations corresponds in each case to a straight line, the two parameters then indicating the ordinate section and the slope of the straight line.
- the time dependent variable may be a linear dependence on currently, i.e., for example, directly time, or, preferably, an exponential functional dependence on time.
- the exponential dependence on time corresponds to the exponential course of the charge and discharge, in particular of capacitors. From the two parameters obtained per equation then the series resistance and the parallel resistance can be derived with high accuracy.
- control unit is designed to monitor a plurality of two-wire lines.
- the overall structure of the device is simplified in that not several control units for monitoring several two-wire lines, for example, fire protection systems that regularly include a larger number of two-wire cables are needed.
- the constant current source can be set up, also several of the two-wire lines with a supply constant electricity.
- combinations of several control units and / or constant current sources are conceivable for monitoring.
- the object mentioned at the outset is achieved by a method for monitoring a two-wire line.
- the two-wire line is in particular a two-wire line of a fire protection system.
- the method comprises: providing a measuring current to a passive termination component for terminating the two-wire line, wherein the passive termination component has a loadable energy store, detecting a voltage profile at output terminals of the two-wire line, and evaluating the detected voltage curve, by a series resistance and a parallel resistance of the two-wire line to determine.
- the method according to the invention makes it possible to obtain the same advantages as can be achieved with the device according to the invention for monitoring a two-wire line. Furthermore, all embodiments of the device described as preferred can be combined in an analogous manner with the method according to the invention.
- the measuring current is provided in a first period for charging the loadable energy storage and not provided in a subsequent second period, wherein a voltage profile is detected and evaluated at output terminals during the first period and the second period.
- the parallel resistance and the longitudinal resistance of the two-wire line are determined on the basis of two consecutive approximations of the voltage profile during the first and second time periods.
- discrete values of the detected voltage waveform are used to determine the parallel resistance and the series resistance from approximated constants of two linear equations of the first order voltage of a time dependent variable during the first and second time periods.
- the object mentioned at the outset is achieved by a control module of a fire alarm and / or extinguishing control center for monitoring a two-wire line of a fire protection system, wherein the control module is set up to carry out the method according to the invention.
- the object mentioned at the outset is achieved by the use of a capacitor as a passive termination component for terminating a two-wire line of a fire protection system.
- FIG. 1 shows schematically and by way of example an example of a device according to the invention for monitoring a two-wire line
- FIG. 1 shows schematically and by way of example a first example of a device 1 according to the invention for monitoring a two-wire line 2.
- the two-wire line 2 is connected to two output terminals 4, 6, for example with a central unit 100 of FIG
- Fire protection system such as a fire alarm and / or extinguishing control center connected. It is important to ensure that resistances occurring across the line are within the permissible range, so that, for example, a sufficient voltage drops or is applied in a tripping case.
- a termination component 10 is provided with polarity reversal protection designed as a diode 52 and a load 54 shown as a resistor 54. This avoids a short circuit over the two-wire line and at the same time creates the possibility of monitoring with a current flowing through the terminating component 10. In particular, the reverse polarity protection never passes a monitoring current through the terminating component 10.
- the two-wire line to which in particular a plurality of subscribers, such as detectors, alarm devices, etc., are connected can be modeled as a combination of series resistance R L and parallel resistance Rs.
- An object of the present invention is to be able to separately determine or monitor the series resistance R L and the parallel resistance Rs.
- the invention proposes a particularly simple passive termination component 10, which is connected to the termination 8 of the two-wire line 2.
- the termination component 10 according to the invention has a chargeable energy store 12, which in the example shown is designed as a capacitor with a capacitance C.
- the passive termination component 10 does not show a temperature dependency of the determination, so that the capacitance C can be determined automatically, which is why no configuration / measurement of the termination component 10 is necessary.
- the parallel resistance Rs and the series resistance RL together with the capacitance C are determined on the basis of a voltage curve U (t) by a control unit 40 whose function will be described with reference to FIG.
- a constant current source 20 is arranged between the output terminals 4, 6 in order to provide a constant but preferably adjustable measuring current 11 via the loadable energy store 12 of the passive termination component 10.
- a voltage detection unit 30 for detecting a voltage waveform U (t) between the output terminals 4, 6 is provided.
- the control unit 40 is set up to drive the constant current source 20 and to evaluate the voltage curve U (t) detected by the voltage detection unit 30.
- the control unit 40 makes it possible to adequately determine the series resistance RL and the parallel resistance Rs of the two-wire line 2, as will be explained below.
- control unit 40 should therefore be able to make a reliable statement as to whether the existing line resistances RL, RS in the case of a drive enable sufficient voltage at the consumer.
- the control unit 40 is either designed as a separate module, for example within the fire alarm and / or extinguishing control center 100, or can be embodied as an integral part of the fire alarm and / or extinguishing control center 100.
- all of the components provided on the side of the center of the device 1 for monitoring a two-wire line in the form of a monitoring module, which is shown in dashed lines in FIG. 1, are implemented.
- another control unit 45 of the fire alarm and / or extinguishing control center 100 will take over the supplementary functions for fire monitoring and / or extinguishing control.
- the voltage curve U (t) at the module terminals 4, 6 is continuously measured.
- the loadable energy store 12 is first charged with the current 11 via the constant current source 20 for a specific time period T1. Subsequently, the constant current source 20 is turned off and over a period of time T2, the self-discharge of the capacitance C via the parallel resistor Rs is observed. Finally, the loadable energy store 12 is completely discharged during a subsequent period T3 via a discharge resistor of a discharge unit 60.
- FIG. 2 schematically shows a diagram 300, in which the detected voltage U (t) over time is shown.
- the subdivision into the periods T1, T2 and T3 has been made and four different voltage profiles 310, 312, 320, 322 for every two different values of the series resistance RL and two different values of the parallel resistance Rs were recorded.
- these four voltage profiles 310, 312, 320, 322 coincide with two voltage profiles 314, 324, since the time behavior of the self-discharge is independent of the series resistance RL.
- the turn-on and turn-off of the constant current source 20 From the jumps 330, 340, which can be detected in the voltage curve U1, the line resistance can be determined directly.
- the time behavior of the self-discharge is characterized only by a time constant dependent on the capacitance C and the parallel resistance Rs.
- the forced discharge during the third period T3 is not considered.
- the discharge time must be selected only so long that the loadable energy storage device 12 is completely discharged at the beginning of the next measurement.
- the three-part measurement profile explained above and outlined in FIG. 2 is preferably repeated periodically for determining the resistance values. For each measurement there are discrete voltage values that can be divided into charge and self-discharge.
- An advantage of the solution according to the invention lies in the short time required for the detection of a disturbance, which lies in the range of a few milliseconds.
- the voltage curve U (t) is subdivided in the following for further processing in the time periods T1, T2 or T3 corresponding measured value profiles U1, U2 and U3. There are therefore in particular measured value vectors U1 and U2 from the voltage detection unit 30, which are detected during the periods T1 and T2.
- the goal of the following calculations is to determine from U1 and U2 as exactly as possible the parameters RL and Ps as well as C at the same time. For this purpose, the equations (2) and (3) are considered, in which these parameters
- Equations (2) and (3) define the time profile of the voltage values, whereby the parameters which best simulate the curve are determined by an approximation or approximation.
- the least-square method first sums the squares of the individual measurement errors e t into a sum Q, which depends on the two parameters a and ⁇ . The subsequent minimization of this sum leads to the best estimates a, ⁇ for the parameters a and ⁇ -.
- equation (3) is first used for the self-discharge process during the period T2, since this is influenced only by two of the three parameters. For the sake of simplicity, the timing at which the constant current source 20 is turned off is shifted to the time zero: t
- Equation (4) the now linear form can be seen with respect to t. This means that all detected voltages U2 are first logarithmized. The least square approach can then be easily applied to these values, cf. Equation (4).
- Equation (2) already described the voltage curve of the charging process. Moved to the time zero and using the time constant t, it can be written as
- This exponential curve has an offset in contrast to the discharge curve. It can not be calculated directly with the least squares approach.
- Equation (7) can therefore be transformed into a linear form, cf. Equation (8), to be rewritten:
- the corresponding exponential function only has to be calculated with the known time constant t for each time value.
- the durations T1, T2 and T3 can be, for example, in the range of fractions of milliseconds, in particular 0.1-1 ms, and particularly preferably 0.5 ms, or a few milliseconds.
- the short measurement time allows a reasonably high rate of repetition of the measurement.
