図2は、第1の実施形態のインバータユニット20の構成を、より詳細に示す図である。インバータユニット20は、無線モジュール30と、CPU(Central Processing Unit)40と、第1の温度センサ42と、変換装置50とを備える。CPU40は、「制御部」の一例である。
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of the inverter unit 20 of the first embodiment in more detail. The inverter unit 20 includes a wireless module 30, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 40, a first temperature sensor 42, and a conversion device 50. The CPU 40 is an example of a “control unit”.
インバータユニット20の無線モジュール30は、アンテナ32と、RF-IC34と、MCU36とを備える。アンテナ32は、送信内容を重畳させた電波を空気中に放射すると共に、受信した電波をRF-IC34に出力する。RF-IC34は、変調や電力増幅を行うことにより、MCU36から指示された送信内容を重畳させた電波を生成し、生成した電波をアンテナ32に放射させる。また、RF-IC34は、アンテナ32により受信された電波を復調して、受信した電波に応じた信号を生成してMCU36に出力する。MCU36は、CPU40から受信した情報(送信内容)に基づいて、RF-IC34を制御して所望の電波をアンテナ32に放射させる。また、MCU36は、RF-IC34から、アンテナ32により受信された電波に応じた信号を取得し、取得した信号に基づく情報をCPU40に送信する。
The wireless module 30 of the inverter unit 20 includes an antenna 32, an RF-IC 34, and an MCU 36. The antenna 32 radiates a radio wave on which transmission contents are superimposed in the air and outputs the received radio wave to the RF-IC 34. The RF-IC 34 performs modulation and power amplification to generate a radio wave on which the transmission content instructed from the MCU 36 is superimposed, and radiates the generated radio wave to the antenna 32. The RF-IC 34 demodulates the radio wave received by the antenna 32, generates a signal corresponding to the received radio wave, and outputs the signal to the MCU 36. The MCU 36 controls the RF-IC 34 based on the information (transmission contents) received from the CPU 40 to radiate a desired radio wave to the antenna 32. Further, the MCU 36 acquires a signal corresponding to the radio wave received by the antenna 32 from the RF-IC 34, and transmits information based on the acquired signal to the CPU 40.
CPU40は、変換装置50を制御すると共に、第1の温度センサ42から入力される信号を無線モジュール30に転送することで、無線モジュール30における補正処理を補助する。これについては後述する。
The CPU 40 controls the conversion device 50 and transfers a signal input from the first temperature sensor 42 to the wireless module 30 to assist the correction process in the wireless module 30. This will be described later.
変換装置50は、例えば不図示のインバータや駆動部等を有する。インバータは、複数のスイッチング素子を備え、駆動部により出力されたゲート制御信号に基づいてスイッチング素子をオンオフ制御することで、直流電力を交流電力に変換する。駆動部は、PWM(Pulse Width Modulation)制御部、ゲート駆動部等を有する。PWM制御部は、CPU40から入力された信号に基づいて、スイッチング素子のオンオフ時間を演算する。PWM制御部は、演算したオンオフ時間に基づいてPWM信号を生成し、ゲート駆動部にPWM信号を出力する。ゲート駆動部は、PWM制御部によって生成されたPWM信号に基づいて各スイッチング素子をオンオフ動作させる。
The conversion device 50 includes, for example, an inverter, a drive unit, etc. (not shown). The inverter includes a plurality of switching elements, and converts DC power into AC power by performing on / off control of the switching elements based on a gate control signal output by the drive unit. The drive unit includes a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control unit, a gate drive unit, and the like. The PWM control unit calculates the on / off time of the switching element based on the signal input from the CPU 40. The PWM control unit generates a PWM signal based on the calculated on / off time, and outputs the PWM signal to the gate drive unit. The gate drive unit turns each switching element on and off based on the PWM signal generated by the PWM control unit.
CPU40は、以下のような種々の制御を行う。CPU40は、インバータユニット20が出力している交流電力の周波数を検出し、検出した周波数と定格の周波数との関係に基づいて位相角の進み量または遅れ量を算出する。また、CPU40は、算出した位相角の進み量または遅れ量に基づいて変換装置50を制御することによって、負荷に供給される交流電圧の位相角を変化させる。また、CPU40は、直流電源100から供給される直流電力の電力量、直流電力を交流電力に変換した交流電流の電力量、自装置の運転状態または停止状態を示す情報等を、無線モジュール30を用いて集中制御装置10に送信する。
The CPU 40 performs various controls as follows. The CPU 40 detects the frequency of the AC power output from the inverter unit 20, and calculates the advance amount or delay amount of the phase angle based on the relationship between the detected frequency and the rated frequency. Further, the CPU 40 changes the phase angle of the AC voltage supplied to the load by controlling the conversion device 50 based on the calculated advance amount or delay amount of the phase angle. Further, the CPU 40 supplies the wireless module 30 with the amount of direct current power supplied from the direct current power source 100, the amount of alternating current power obtained by converting the direct current power into alternating current power, information indicating the operation state or the stop state of the own device, and the like. And transmitted to the centralized control device 10.
第1の温度センサ42は、CPU40が配置される基板と同一の基板上において、CPU40の付近に設置される。「付近」とは、CPU40の温度と同視できる程度の位置関係であることをいい、例えば間隔が1[cm]程度以内であることをいう。また、「付近」とは、CPU40に接して設置されることを含む。第1の温度センサ42は、例えばサーミスタである。第1の温度センサ42は、検出した温度を示す信号をCPU40に出力する。
The first temperature sensor 42 is installed in the vicinity of the CPU 40 on the same substrate as the substrate on which the CPU 40 is disposed. “Nearby” means a positional relationship such that it can be equated with the temperature of the CPU 40, for example, that the interval is within about 1 [cm]. Further, “near” includes being installed in contact with the CPU 40. The first temperature sensor 42 is a thermistor, for example. The first temperature sensor 42 outputs a signal indicating the detected temperature to the CPU 40.
CPU40は、第1の温度センサ42から入力された信号の示す温度に基づいて、その温度を示す信号を無線モジュール30に送信する。CPU40は、第1の温度センサ42から入力された信号をそのまま無線モジュール30に転送してもよいし、第1の温度センサ42から入力された信号を、無線モジュール30との通信に適した形式に変換して無線モジュール30に送信してもよい。CPU40は、例えば所定周期で、温度を示す信号を無線モジュール30に送信する。
The CPU 40 transmits a signal indicating the temperature to the wireless module 30 based on the temperature indicated by the signal input from the first temperature sensor 42. The CPU 40 may directly transfer the signal input from the first temperature sensor 42 to the wireless module 30, or the signal input from the first temperature sensor 42 may be in a format suitable for communication with the wireless module 30. It may be converted into and transmitted to the wireless module 30. The CPU 40 transmits a signal indicating temperature to the wireless module 30 at a predetermined cycle, for example.
以下、MCU36による補正処理について説明する。図3は、第1の実施形態のMCU36により実行される処理の流れを示すフローチャートである。まず、MCU36は、第1の温度センサ42により検出された温度を示す信号をCPU40から受信する(ステップS100)。次に、MCU36は、ステップS100で受信した温度を示す信号から得られる温度が所定温度T1以下であるか否かを判定する(ステップS102)。
Hereinafter, correction processing by the MCU 36 will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing executed by the MCU 36 of the first embodiment. First, the MCU 36 receives a signal indicating the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 42 from the CPU 40 (step S100). Next, the MCU 36 determines whether or not the temperature obtained from the signal indicating the temperature received in step S100 is equal to or lower than the predetermined temperature T1 (step S102).
ステップS100で受信した温度を示す信号から得られる温度が所定温度T1以下でない場合(所定温度T1を超える場合)、MCU36は、RF-IC34に電波を生成させて、生成させた電波をアンテナ32に放射させる(ステップS106)。なお、第1の実施形態ではMCU36は、ステップS102で否定的な判定を得た場合、無線モジュール30が出力できる最大出力の電波をRF-IC34に生成させ、生成させた電波をアンテナ32に放射させるものとする。
When the temperature obtained from the signal indicating the temperature received in step S100 is not equal to or lower than the predetermined temperature T1 (when the temperature exceeds the predetermined temperature T1), the MCU 36 causes the RF-IC 34 to generate a radio wave and the generated radio wave to the antenna 32. Radiate (step S106). In the first embodiment, when the MCU 36 obtains a negative determination in step S102, the MCU 36 generates the maximum output radio wave that can be output by the wireless module 30 in the RF-IC 34, and radiates the generated radio wave to the antenna 32. Shall be allowed to.
一方、ステップS100で受信した温度を示す信号から得られる温度が所定温度T1以下である場合、MCU36は、アンテナ32から放射される電波の送信出力(強度)が上限値以下となるように、RF-IC34を制御する(ステップS104)。次に、MCU36は、ステップS104の処理に基づいて、RF-IC34に電波を生成させてアンテナ32に生成させた電波を放射させる(ステップS106)。これにより本フローチャートの処理は終了する。
On the other hand, when the temperature obtained from the signal indicating the temperature received in step S100 is equal to or lower than the predetermined temperature T1, the MCU 36 determines that the transmission output (intensity) of the radio wave radiated from the antenna 32 is equal to or lower than the upper limit value. Control the IC 34 (step S104). Next, the MCU 36 causes the RF-IC 34 to generate a radio wave and radiate the radio wave generated by the antenna 32 based on the process of step S104 (step S106). Thereby, the processing of this flowchart is completed.
図4は、無線モジュール30のアンテナ32から放射される電波の送信出力の制限について説明するための図である。図中の縦軸はアンテナ32により放射される電波の送信出力を示し、横軸は無線モジュール30周辺、またはCPU40周辺の温度を示している。図中、推移線Trは、無線モジュール30により放射される電波の送信出力と無線モジュール30周辺の温度との関係を示している。図示すように無線モジュール30周辺の温度が低くなると、RF-IC34に設定される出力が一定であっても、無線モジュール30により放射される電波の送信出力は大きくなる傾向となる。ここで、インバータシステム1の設置地域によっては、920[MHz]帯等の通信帯域を利用する場合、電波の送信出力を20[mW]以下に制限する必要がある。このため、MCU36は、それよりも若干低い送信出力(例えば19.5[mW])を上限値とし、上限値以下に電波の送信出力を制限すると好適である。
FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the limitation on the transmission output of the radio wave radiated from the antenna 32 of the wireless module 30. In the figure, the vertical axis represents the transmission output of radio waves radiated from the antenna 32, and the horizontal axis represents the temperature around the wireless module 30 or the CPU 40. In the drawing, the transition line Tr indicates the relationship between the transmission output of the radio wave radiated from the wireless module 30 and the temperature around the wireless module 30. As shown in the figure, when the temperature around the wireless module 30 decreases, the transmission output of radio waves radiated by the wireless module 30 tends to increase even if the output set in the RF-IC 34 is constant. Here, depending on the installation area of the inverter system 1, when a communication band such as the 920 [MHz] band is used, it is necessary to limit the radio wave transmission output to 20 [mW] or less. For this reason, it is preferable that the MCU 36 sets the transmission output slightly lower than that (for example, 19.5 [mW]) as the upper limit value and limits the radio wave transmission output to the upper limit value or less.
ここで、推移線Trが上限値と交差する温度(図4ではゼロ度)を、閾値とすることが考えられる。しかしながら、インバータシステム1では、無線モジュール30周辺の温度を検出する温度センサを設けていないため、推移線Trが上限値と交差する温度を閾値(所定温度)とするのは適切でない場合がある。図4の制御線Tr1は、推移線Trが上限値と交差する温度を閾値とした場合の制御線である。
Here, the temperature at which the transition line Tr intersects the upper limit value (zero degree in FIG. 4) can be considered as the threshold value. However, since the inverter system 1 does not include a temperature sensor that detects the temperature around the wireless module 30, it may not be appropriate to set the temperature at which the transition line Tr intersects the upper limit value as a threshold (predetermined temperature). The control line Tr1 in FIG. 4 is a control line when the transition line Tr intersects the upper limit value as a threshold value.
第1の実施形態では検出した温度を示す信号をCPU40に出力する第1の温度センサ42を設けている。第1の温度センサ42により検出された温度は、無線モジュール30周辺の温度とは異なる傾向となる。例えば第1の温度センサ42により検出された温度は、CPU40の発熱等によって、無線モジュール30周辺の温度を検出する温度センサにより検出された温度より高い傾向を示す場合がある。したがって、第1の実施形態に係るMPU36は、温度に対する閾値を、高温側にオフセットさせて送信出力の制限制御を行う。具体的には、MPU36は、温度に対する閾値を、推移線Trと上限値との交点に対応する温度よりも高温側(例えばT1)にシフトする。これによって、温度センサの取り付け箇所に起因する実温度のズレを吸収することができる。図4の制御線Tr2は、温度に対する閾値T1を高温側にシフトした場合の好ましい制御線である。
In the first embodiment, a first temperature sensor 42 that outputs a signal indicating the detected temperature to the CPU 40 is provided. The temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 42 tends to be different from the temperature around the wireless module 30. For example, the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 42 may tend to be higher than the temperature detected by the temperature sensor that detects the temperature around the wireless module 30 due to heat generated by the CPU 40 or the like. Therefore, the MPU 36 according to the first embodiment performs transmission output restriction control by offsetting the threshold value for temperature to the high temperature side. Specifically, the MPU 36 shifts the threshold value for temperature to a higher temperature side (for example, T1) than the temperature corresponding to the intersection of the transition line Tr and the upper limit value. As a result, it is possible to absorb the deviation of the actual temperature caused by the location where the temperature sensor is attached. The control line Tr2 in FIG. 4 is a preferable control line when the threshold value T1 for temperature is shifted to the high temperature side.
なお、無線通信部12とインバータユニット20の無線モジュール30との間では、2.4[GHz]帯域を利用した通信を行ってもよい。また、CPU40が、第1の温度センサ42により検出された温度に基づいて、RF-IC34に対して送信出力の制限制御を実行させるための信号をMCU36に送信してもよい。
Note that communication using the 2.4 [GHz] band may be performed between the wireless communication unit 12 and the wireless module 30 of the inverter unit 20. Further, the CPU 40 may transmit a signal for causing the RF-IC 34 to execute transmission output restriction control to the MCU 36 based on the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 42.
以上説明した第1の実施形態の制御装置によれば、CPU40の付近に第1の温度センサ42を配置し、CPU40が第1の温度センサ42から入力された信号に基づいて温度を示す信号を無線モジュール30のMCU36に送信し、MCU36が受信した信号から得られる温度に基づいてRF-IC34により生成される電波の強度を制限するように制御するため、より簡易な構成で所望の送信出力の電波を出力させることができる。
According to the control device of the first embodiment described above, the first temperature sensor 42 is disposed in the vicinity of the CPU 40, and the CPU 40 outputs a signal indicating the temperature based on the signal input from the first temperature sensor 42. Since the control is performed to limit the intensity of the radio wave generated by the RF-IC 34 based on the temperature obtained from the signal received by the MCU 36 and transmitted to the MCU 36 of the wireless module 30, a desired transmission output can be obtained with a simpler configuration. Radio waves can be output.
(第2の実施形態)
以下、第2の実施形態について説明する。ここでは、第1の実施形態との相違点を中心に説明し、第1の実施形態と共通する機能等についての説明は省略する。第2の実施形態では、MCU36が、第1の温度センサ42により検出された温度を示す信号に基づいて、アンテナン32に放射させる電波の送信出力が一定になるようにRF-IC34を制御する。 (Second Embodiment)
Hereinafter, the second embodiment will be described. Here, the difference from the first embodiment will be mainly described, and description of functions and the like common to the first embodiment will be omitted.

図5は、第2の実施形態のMCU36が実行する処理の流れを示すフローチャートである。まず、MCU36は、第1の温度センサ42により検出された温度を示す信号をCPU40から受信する(ステップS200)。次に、MCU36は、ステップS200で受信した温度を示す信号から得られる温度が所定温度T2以下であるか否かを判定する(ステップS202)。
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing executed by the MCU 36 of the second embodiment. First, the MCU 36 receives a signal indicating the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 42 from the CPU 40 (step S200). Next, the MCU 36 determines whether or not the temperature obtained from the signal indicating the temperature received in step S200 is equal to or lower than the predetermined temperature T2 (step S202).
ステップS200で受信した温度を示す信号から得られる温度が所定温度T2以下である場合、MCU36は、アンテナ32から放射される電波の送信出力を下げるように、RF-IC34を制御する(ステップS204)。ステップS200で受信した温度を示す信号から得られる温度が所定温度T2以下でない場合(所定温度T2を超える場合)、MCU36は、アンテナ32から放射される電波の送信出力を上げるように、RF-IC34を制御する(ステップS206)。次に、MCU36は、ステップS204またはステップS206の処理に基づいて、RF-IC34に電波を生成させてアンテナ32に生成させた電波を放射させる(ステップS208)。これにより本フローチャートの処理は終了する。
When the temperature obtained from the signal indicating the temperature received in step S200 is equal to or lower than the predetermined temperature T2, the MCU 36 controls the RF-IC 34 so as to reduce the transmission output of the radio wave radiated from the antenna 32 (step S204). . When the temperature obtained from the signal indicating the temperature received in step S200 is not equal to or lower than the predetermined temperature T2 (when the temperature exceeds the predetermined temperature T2), the MCU 36 increases the RF-IC 34 so as to increase the transmission output of the radio wave radiated from the antenna 32. Is controlled (step S206). Next, the MCU 36 causes the RF-IC 34 to generate radio waves and radiate the radio waves generated from the antenna 32 based on the processing of step S204 or step S206 (step S208). Thereby, the processing of this flowchart is completed.
図6は、第2の実施形態の無線モジュール30のアンテナ32から放射される電波の送信出力の制限について説明するための図である。図中、TAは放射する電波の送信出力の目標値を示している。図中、推移線Trは、MCU36が一定の電力をRF-IC34に与えた場合に、出力される電波の送信出力を示している。制御線Tr3は、図5のフローチャートで示すように、所定温度T2以下である場合に送信出力を下げるように制御し、所定温度T2を超える場合に送信出力を上げるように制御した場合の制御線である。ここで、所定温度T2は、第1の実施形態で説明したように、推移線Trが所定温度と交差する温度よりも高温側にシフトさせた温度である。このため、制御線Tr3で示すように、送信出力はTAを下回るように見えるが、実際は、温度のズレによってTAに近づくように制御される。推移線Tr4は、制御線Tr3を用いて制御した場合の結果を示している。この結果、MCU36は、目標値に合致する送信出力の電波をアンテナ32に放射させることができる。
FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the limitation on the transmission output of radio waves radiated from the antenna 32 of the wireless module 30 according to the second embodiment. In the figure, TA indicates the target value of the transmission output of the radiated radio wave. In the drawing, a transition line Tr indicates a transmission output of radio waves that are output when the MCU 36 applies a certain amount of power to the RF-IC 34. As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5, the control line Tr3 is controlled so as to decrease the transmission output when the temperature is equal to or lower than the predetermined temperature T2, and the control line when the transmission output is controlled to increase when the temperature exceeds the predetermined temperature T2. It is. Here, as described in the first embodiment, the predetermined temperature T2 is a temperature shifted to a higher temperature side than the temperature at which the transition line Tr intersects the predetermined temperature. For this reason, as indicated by the control line Tr3, the transmission output appears to be lower than TA, but in actuality, the transmission output is controlled to approach TA due to temperature deviation. A transition line Tr4 indicates the result when control is performed using the control line Tr3. As a result, the MCU 36 can cause the antenna 32 to emit a radio wave having a transmission output that matches the target value.
以上説明した第2の実施形態の制御装置によれば、CPU40の付近に第1の温度センサ42を配置し、CPU40が第1の温度センサ42から入力された信号に基づいて温度を示す信号を無線モジュール30のMCU36に送信し、MCU36が受信した信号から得られる温度に基づいてRF-IC34により生成される電波の強度を制御するため、より簡易な構成で所望の送信出力の電波を出力させることができる。
According to the control device of the second embodiment described above, the first temperature sensor 42 is disposed in the vicinity of the CPU 40, and the CPU 40 outputs a signal indicating the temperature based on the signal input from the first temperature sensor 42. In order to control the intensity of the radio wave transmitted to the MCU 36 of the wireless module 30 and generated by the RF-IC 34 based on the temperature obtained from the signal received by the MCU 36, the radio wave having a desired transmission output is output with a simpler configuration. be able to.

For example, the second temperature sensor 44 is disposed at an end or corner on the substrate on which the CPU 40 of the inverter unit 20A, the conversion device 50, and the first temperature sensor 42 are disposed. The second temperature sensor 44 is disposed at a position farther from the first temperature sensor 42 with respect to the CPU 40, for example. Further, the second temperature sensor 44 may be disposed, for example, in the vicinity of the region A1 or the region A2 in the drawing.
CPU40は、第2の温度センサ44により検出された温度を示す信号をMCU36に送信する。MCU36は、CPU40から送信された温度を示す信号を受信し、受信した信号に基づいてRF-IC34によって生成される電波の送信出力を制御する。第2の温度センサ44は、第1の温度センサ42よりもCPU40から遠いため、CPU40の発熱等によって生じる温度変化の影響を受けにくい。これによりMCU36は、より精度よく所望の送信出力の電波をアンテナ32に放射させることができる。
The CPU 40 transmits a signal indicating the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor 44 to the MCU 36. The MCU 36 receives the signal indicating the temperature transmitted from the CPU 40 and controls the transmission output of the radio wave generated by the RF-IC 34 based on the received signal.

Thereby, the radio wave of a desired transmission output may be able to be output with higher accuracy.
