The existing commercial air conditioning device is generally provided with a wire controller, which is convenient for fixing and enriching the control function. However, the existing wired controller of the air conditioner is suitable for use in the brand. That is, one brand of air conditioner is only suitable for a corresponding brand of line controller, which causes inconvenience to the application in the large-scale commercial air conditioner market and the after-market. For example, air conditioners ordered in large commercial places are usually designed in multiple brands and models, the problem of unmatched management and use of a wire controller is often caused, and the construction period is delayed.
