Abstract

Method for controlling an ozone generating machine (OGM) comprising the steps of: wherein each base setting file (BSF) is dedicated to a type of ozone generating machine (OGM), retrieving and reading a dedicated base setting file (BSF) corresponding to the type of the ozone generating machine (OGM) indicated by a identification code (ID), encoding and writing a system configuration file (Sysconf) based on the dedicated base setting file (BSF), comprising at least a set of sensor coefficients (SK) and a set of actuator coefficients (AK), producing ozone with the ozone generating machine (OGM), said step comprising at least a step of correcting the at least one sensor signal (SSI) with at least one sensor coefficient (SK) or actuating the at least one actuator (ACT) with the at least one actuator control signal (ACS) corrected by at least one actuator coefficient (AK).

Dependent claims

Method for controlling an ozone generating machine (OGM) comprising:

a control unit,
at least one sensor (MS) arranged for emitting at least one sensor signal (SSI) to the control unit,
at least one actuator (ACT) arranged to be controlled by at least one actuator control signal (ACS) generated by the control unit and
an ozone generating machine identification code (ID),
the method comprising the steps of:
connecting to the ozone generating machine (OGM) a data storing device (Mem2) storing a set of base setting files (BSF),
wherein each base setting file (BSF) is dedicated to a type of ozone generating machine (OGM), and
reading the ozone generating machine identification code (ID) indicating the type of the ozone generating machine (OGM), and
retrieving and reading on the data storing device (Mem2) a dedicated base setting file (BSF) corresponding to the type of the ozone generating machine (OGM) indicated by the identification code (ID), and
encoding and writing on an end user data storing device (Mem4) a system configuration file (Sysconf) based on the dedicated base setting file (BSF), the system configuration file (Sysconf) comprising at least a set of sensor coefficients (SK) and a set of actuator coefficients (AK),
producing ozone with the ozone generating machine (OGM), said ozone production step comprising at least a step of correcting the at least one sensor signal (SSI) emitted by the at least one sensor (MS) with at least one sensor coefficient (SK) belonging to the set of sensor coefficients (SK) and/or actuating the at least one actuator (ACT) with the at least one actuator control signal (ACS) corrected by at least one actuator coefficient (AK) belonging to the set of actuator coefficients (AK).

Method for controlling an ozone generating machine (OGM) according to the preceding claim, further comprising the steps of:

determining a predicted ozone concentration (O3CP) at an output of the ozone generating machine (OGM) based on the at least one sensor signal (SSI) or on the at least one actuator control signal (ACS),
measuring an actual ozone concentration (O3CA) with an ozone concentration sensor (O3S) at the output of the ozone generating machine (OGM),
comparing the predicted ozone concentration (O3CP) with the actual ozone concentration (O3CA),
correcting and overwriting the set of sensor coefficients (SK) and the set of actuator coefficients (AK) of the system configuration file (Sysconf) based on the actual ozone concentration (O3CA) if a discrepancy (DIS) between the predicted ozone concentration (O3CP) and the actual ozone concentration (O3CA) is more than an ozone concentration threshold (FT).

Method for controlling an ozone generating machine (OGM) according to the preceding claim, further comprising the step of:

mounting the ozone concentration sensor (O3S) on the ozone generating machine (OGM) or on a distribution circuit located downstream an output connection of the ozone generating machine (OGM).
