Abstract

In a system composed of multiple units, it is necessary for system testing to prepare different system configurations. The selection of system configurations requires product knowledge, experience and many man-hours. This paper proposes a method to select system configurations using feature analysis. In this method, the result of the feature analysis is expressed with an extended product map. The proposed method is applied to commercial air conditioning systems. The commercial air conditioning system is composed of multiple indoor units, an outdoor unit, and a central unit, that work co-operatively.
