To store its own identification code and its own state information in the memory 24 and to transmit the generated state information or state information transmitted from the outside through the modulator 30 to the modulator 30. It is composed.

By the above-described configuration, the central processing unit 22 of each of the self-diagnostic controllers 20_1, 20_2 ... 20_n generates its own identification code and stores it in the memory 24. Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the CPU 22 checks whether its own identification code ID is stored in the memory 24 (S10) and if the own identification code ID is stored in the memory 24. If not stored in the) check whether there is a communication signal for transmitting the identification code (ID) through the modulator (30).

If there is no communication signal through the modulator 30 and the identification code ID is not transmitted, the central processing unit 22 checks whether the self-test controller 20_1 is the most advanced self-test controller 20_1 (S14). When the self is confirmed as the last, etc., it sets its own identification code (ID) to '1' (S16).

Here, the data of the self-diagnosis controller 20_1 constituting the self-diagnosis controller array may be configured in advance by an option switch (not shown) or a program that can be hardware-configured so that the self-diagnosis controller 20_1 can determine that the self-diagnosis controller is the last lamp, that is, the most advanced self-diagnosis controller. Setting a value can be made.

In addition, although the identification code ID is an example according to the present invention, it can be variously implemented without being limited thereto, and the initial value can be variously set according to the intention of the manufacturer.

As described above, the central processing unit 22 sets its own identification code to '1' for the last lamp, that is, the most advanced self-diagnosis controller 20_1, and stores the memory code in the memory 24 and the next through the modulator 30. The self-diagnosis controller 20_2 transmits its own identification code.

Next, the central processing unit 22 of the self-diagnostic controller 20_1 passes through the step S10 of checking whether the identification code ID is stored, and then communicates the identification code ID in the most advanced self-diagnostic controller 20_1. If there is a signal (S12), '1' is added to the received recognition code (currently '1') and '2' is set as its own recognition code (ID) (S18) and stored in the memory 24 and modulator 30 Transmits its own identification code to the next self-diagnostic controller 20_3.

The central processing unit 22 of the above-described self-diagnostic controllers 20_1, 20_2 ... 20_n sequentially sets its own identification code ID and stores it in the memory 24, and then stores the next through the modulator 30. Sends its own identification code to the self-test controller.

The last self-diagnostic controller 20_n transmits its own identification code to the central control system 40.

As described above, the self-diagnostic controllers 20_1, 20_2 ... 20_n generate their own identification codes as described above by the central processing unit 22, store them in the memory 24, and then move to the next self-diagnostic controller. Each recognition code is sequentially generated by passing its own recognition code.

As described above, the identification code of the last self-diagnosis controller 20_n of the self-diagnosis controller array may be transmitted to the central control system 40. The central control system 40 is a state in which the real addresses of the lamps 10_1, 10_2 ... 10_n have been input in advance, and in this state, when the identification code is input from the self-diagnosis control array, the identification code of the self-diagnosis controller array is transferred to the actual address. Map and generate mapping data. The configuration and operation of the central control system 40 will be described later.

It has a function of generating information and storing its recognition code and its status information in the memory 24. In the embodiment according to the present invention, the state information including the recognition information and the normal information is defined as the normal state information, and the state information including the recognition information and the fault information is defined as the failure state information.

First, the central processing unit 22 of the self-diagnostic controllers 20_1 ... 20_n receives the state information from the front self-diagnostic controller through the modulator 30 (S20) and indicates that the state information is the fault state information. If it is determined (S22) without passing through the self-diagnosis of the self-diagnostic state received through the modulator 30, it is just transferred to the next self-diagnosis controller (S24).

Then, the central processing unit 22 of the self-diagnostic controllers 20_1 ... 20_n receives the state information from the front self-diagnostic controller through the modulator 30 (S20) and the state information is normal state information. If it is determined (S22), it performs its own diagnosis (S26).

If the central processing unit 22 of the self-diagnostic controllers 20_1 ... 20_n performs self-diagnosis (S26), and it is determined that a failure does not occur in its lamp 10_1 ... 10_n (S28), it is normal. The state information is transmitted to the self-diagnosis controller of the next step through the modulator 30 (S30). In this case, the normal state information may be configured to include only its own identification code or may include its own identification code and normal information having a specific value meaning normal.

Then, the central processing unit 22 of the self-diagnostic controllers 20_1 ... 20_n performs self-diagnosis (S26) and if it is determined that a failure occurs in its own lamp 10_1 ... 10_n (S28) It is determined whether the information is the same as the failure information stored in the memory 24 (S32).

At this time, if there is no fault information in the memory 24 or the same fault information is stored, the CPU 22 determines that a new fault has occurred, stores the new fault information in the memory 24, and then includes a fault including the new fault information. The state information is transmitted to the self-diagnostic controller of the next order through the modulator 30 (S34).

As described above, the central processing unit 22 of the most advanced self-diagnostic controller 20_1 may be subjected to a process of periodically performing self-diagnosis without receiving status information, and the periodic self-diagnosis may be a pre-programmed cycle or a central control system. It may be designed to be performed by the control of 40. That is, the most advanced self-diagnostic controller 20_1 may be designed such that a subsequent process may be performed according to the result of the self-diagnosis of step S26 without performing the processes of steps S20, S22, and S24.

As described above, when the fault status information is transferred to the self-diagnostic controller 20_2 by the self-diagnostic controller 20_1 by the sequential self-diagnosis of the self-diagnostic controllers 20_1, 20_2. 20_2 and subsequent self-diagnostic controllers transmit the failure status information to the central control system 40 without performing self-diagnosis, and the central control system 40 transmits the identification code included in the failure status information to the actual address. Maps with and connects the failure information to the actual address and serves to deliver to the server (60).

After that, the self-diagnosis controller 20_1 performs self-diagnosis in the subsequent cycle, and when the same failure information is generated, the normal state information is transmitted to the self-diagnosis controller 20_2, and when different failure information occurs, the self-diagnosis controller Send to 20_2. At this time, if the same failure information occurs, the transmission of the normal state information is to prevent the repetitive state information transmission from occurring due to the same failure so that subsequent self-diagnosis of other self-diagnosis controllers is performed.

A plurality of self-diagnostic controller arrays configured and operated as described above may be configured, and each self-diagnostic controller array is connected to each receiver 46 of the central control system 40.

The central control system 40 includes a plurality of receivers 46 and a control module 44 and a control program unit 42 for receiving status information therefrom.

As described above, the control module 44 of the central control system 40 receives the state information from the plurality of receivers, maps the recognition code included in the state information to the real address, and connects normal information or fault information to the real address. The structured and structured data is passed to the control program unit 42, composed of packets, and then transmitted to the server 60. In this case, the control program unit 42 may process not only the mapping data but also the compressed data of the field data into packets.

The server 60 may establish a connection with a plurality of central control systems 40 configured for a plurality of sites, and store packets received from the control system 40 for each site and store failure information in the packets. This event is generated by generating event information including the location of the failure and the type of failure, such as posting the event information on the homepage operated on the Internet or running the application to the smart phone 80 or computer 90 used by the customer Event information can be transmitted.

According to the present invention, the self-diagnosis controller periodically performs self-diagnosis in a plurality of lights installed in a wide place, and the location and failure information of the lamp in which the failure occurs are reported to the server, and the server reports the event information about the customer's smartphone (80). Or by transmitting to the computer 90, it is possible to efficiently manage the failure state of the lamp.
