Abstract
System recognition is performed on devices connected to an identical system without recognizing a device of a different system as a device of the identical system in high-frequency communication. In a device network system, an outdoor unit selected from among all outdoor units of a first network performs a recognition process on the outdoor units and indoor units of the first network. In the first network, communication between individual devices including the outdoor units and the indoor units is performed by using a high frequency, and the recognition process performed by the selected outdoor unit uses a recognition signal having a low frequency.
Claims20
A device network system comprising:
- a first network including a first device group and a first line group, the first device group including a plurality of first devices, the first line group being connected to the plurality of first devices;
- a second network including a second device group and a second line group, the second device group including a plurality of second devices, the second line group being connected to the plurality of second devices;
- and
- a first processor that performs a recognition process on the first device group of the first network,
- wherein in the first network, communication between the first devices is performed by using a high frequency, and the recognition process performed by the first processor uses a recognition signal having a low frequency.
