AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM AND AIR CONDITIONER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the reliability of a system with a simple structure. SOLUTION: A host side communication means 27 converting information into a communication language and transmitting the language to the outside is mounted on either of the indoor unit 19, outdoor unit 17, and remote controller 21 of air conditioners 3a to 3c. Host side communication means 27a to 27c are connected to a monitoring device 1 through a network 15. Since the host side communication means 27 can function merely by converting information on one model thereof into a communication language, the specifications of the device can be simplified more than a conventional one having a central control device. In addition, since the exchange of data performed so far between an air conditioner and the central control device can be eliminated, the reliability of the information transmitted can be increased.
