A Novel Development of Distributed intelligent Control Module Based on the LonWorks Neuron Chip for Air handling Units in the Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning

Neuron Chip을 이용한 공기조화설비 제어모듈 개발

In this paper, a new distributed intelligent control module based on LonWorks fieldbus for air handling unit(AHU) of heating, ventilating and air-conditioning(HVAC) is proposed to replace with a conventional direct digital control(DDC) with 32 bit microprocessor. The proposed control architecture has a excellent features such as highly compact and flexible function design, a low priced smart front-end and reliable performance with various functions. This also addresses issues in control network configuration, logical design of field devices by S/W tool, Internet networking and electronic element installation. Experimental results showing the system performance are also included in this paper.
