Definitions
- the present invention relates to AC panels in homes and, more particularly, to adding smartness and internet connectivity to these AC panels.
- the most common solutions for this problem is distributed control systems for the home, also called home automation systems. It comprises of a central main controller and various wirelessly or powerline controlled AC modules. The controllers are installed in an accessible area of the home and the AC modules are connected to each outlet of the home.
- Smart AC Panel replaces the existing AC Panel in a home. It not only includes existing AC Panel function such as bus bar and circuit breakers, but also current sensor, voltage sensing circuitry and relay devices to help control and monitor power associated with each branch circuit.
- the current sensor, voltage sensing circuitry interfaces to an embedded controller.
- Various embedded controllers are connected through CAN serial communication to a supervisory embedded controller which in turn has internet connectivity.
- Figure 1 is a schematic view of a smart ac panel
- Figure 2 is a schematic view of a smart ac panel showing critical components.
- Figure 1 is a schematic view of a Smart AC panel
- MBC Main Circuit Breaker
- CBx Branch Circuit Breaker
- LI and L2 go to first and second circuit of a 2 pole breaker. Wires 40 in a standard AC panel leave the panel, but in a Smart AC Panel, they connect to the MIPCB 50. The external wires 40 are connected via ConnectionPoint 100.
- the MIPCB 50 and M2PCB 60 are powered with +5VDC 94 from the DCpowersupply 70. Common GND 92 is used.
- FIG 2 is a schematic view of a Smart AC panel focusses on the interfaces between MIPCB 50 and M2PCB 60, and how they are integrated with rest of the system.
- MIPCB 50 has CAN-High 96 and CAN-Low 98 interface to communicate with M2PCB 60.
- Both MIPCB 50 and M2PCB 60 have a Debugport 80 for software
- Ethernetport 90 in included in the M2PCB 60 to provide internet/web connectivity.
