Abstract
An information takeover system includes: a first board that includes a first control unit and a first storage unit storing first information about an air conditioning apparatus; and a second board that includes a second control unit and is connectable to the first board in an information exchangeable manner. The first control unit is configured to perform first control to transmit the first information to the second board with the first board and the second board connected to each other in the information exchangeable manner.
Claims14
An information takeover system comprising:
- a first board that includes a first control unit, and a first storage unit storing first information about an air conditioning apparatus;
- and
- a second board that includes a second control unit and is connectable to the first board in an information exchangeable manner;
- and
- a cable configured to connect the first board and the second board to each other in the information exchangeable manner,
- wherein
- the first control unit is configured to perform first control to transmit the first information to the second board with the first board and the second board connected to each other in the information exchangeable manner,
- the second control unit requests the first control unit to transmit the first information when receiving a first signal serving as a trigger for performing the first control with the first board and the second board connected to each other in the information exchangeable manner,
- the cable includes a first connector to be connected to the first board, and a second connector to be connected to the second board,
- the first connector and the second connector respectively include terminals from which different voltage signals are output, and
- the first signal corresponds to the voltage signal output from the terminal of the second connector.
An information takeover system comprising:
- a first board that includes a first control unit, and a first storage unit storing first information about an air conditioning apparatus;
- a second board that includes a second control unit and is connectable to the first board in an information exchangeable manner;
- and
- a cable configured to connect the first board and the second board to each other in the information exchangeable manner,
- wherein
- the cable is equipped with a battery, and
- the first control unit is configured to perform first control to transmit the first information to the second board with the first board and the second board connected to each other in the information exchangeable manner.
An information takeover method for taking over first information about an air conditioning apparatus, the first information being stored in a first storage unit of a first board, from the first board to a second board,
- the information takeover method comprising:
- a step of connecting a first connector of a cable to the first board and connecting a second connector of the cable to the second board to connect, with the cable, the first board and the second board to each other in an information exchangeable manner,
- a step of receiving, by a second control unit of the second board, a voltage signal, as a first signal, output from the second connector and different from a voltage signal output from the first connector with the first board and the second board connected to each other in the information exchangeable manner;
- a step of requesting, by the second control unit that has received the first signal, a first control unit of the first board to transmit the first information;
- and
- a step of performing, by the first control unit, first control to transmit the first information to the second board, in response to a request for transmission of the first information.
An information takeover method for taking over first information about an air conditioning apparatus, the first information being stored in a first storage unit of a first board, from the first board to a second board,
- the information takeover method comprising:
- a step of connecting, with a cable equipped with a battery, the first board and the second board to each other in an information exchangeable manner,
- a step of requesting, by a second control unit of the second board, a first control unit of the first board to transmit the first information with the first board and the second board connected to each other in the information exchangeable manner;
- and
- a step of performing, by the first control unit, first control to transmit the first information to the second board, in response to a request for transmission of the first information.
