Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lighting control system in which a large number of lighting fixtures each having a built-in dimming function are arranged on an office floor.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, office floors in owner buildings as well as tenant buildings have often been divided into separate office rooms. In such cases, the lighting fixtures are arranged at a constant density over the entire floor, so that the lighting fixtures can be controlled for each office room and on and off.

Then, to control the blinking, turn on the wall switch and turn it on/off.
This is done in combination with an OFF control circuit. In addition, the area of the office room changes by changing the floor partitions, but in order to control the blinking of each office room, wall switches and ON/○FF control circuits are programmably assigned using a computer. This is done by

Furthermore, regarding the dimming of lighting equipment, although the dimming is done on each floor, office rooms are not equipped with a dimming function.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention A dimming lighting fixture group consisting of a large number of dimming lighting fixtures with a built-in dimming function is provided, a main operation panel for generating and transmitting dimming level data and dimming control signals is provided, and this A ○N/○FF control terminal that is connected to the main operation panel via a multiplex transmission line and that divides the dimming lighting fixtures of the dimming lighting fixture group and opens and closes the power supply to these dimming lighting fixtures. ON/
By providing a group of OFF control terminals and a signal terminal connected to the main operation panel by the multiplex transmission line and supplying dimming level data and dimming control signals to the dimming lighting equipment, blinking control of the lighting equipment and the like can be achieved. It is possible to configure a lighting control system that can perform dimming. in this case,
When changing the area of an office room, the control system may extend to adjacent office rooms, or two or more control systems may be created in one office room. Therefore,
In addition to changing the office space, the control system for the lighting equipment also had to be changed due to construction, which was a hassle.

Means for solving the problem: A dimming lighting fixture group consisting of a large number of dimming lighting fixtures with a built-in dimming function, a main operation panel that generates and sends dimming level data and dimming control signals, and this main operation panel. It consists of an ON/○FF control terminal connected to the panel via a multiplex transmission line and for dividing the dimming lighting fixtures of the dimming lighting fixture group and opening/closing the power supply to these dimming lighting fixtures. A lighting control system comprising a group of ON/OFF control terminals, and a signal terminal connected to the main operation panel by the multiplex transmission line and providing dimming level data and dimming control signals to the dimming lighting equipment. A signal connector including an input signal system switching section of the dimming lighting device separated by the ON/OFF@control terminal was disposed between the terminal device and the dimming lighting device.

The flashing control of dimming lighting fixtures is controlled by O, which opens and closes its power supply.
This is performed using an N/OFF control terminal, and even if the control area changes, it can be easily handled by programmably changing the allocation using a computer on the main operation panel. And regarding dimming control,
By switching the connection status of the input signal system switching section of the signal connector installed between the signal terminal and the dimming lighting equipment, the control area can be changed. The structure is such that the light can be easily adjusted for each office room based on the signal.

Example An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

First, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, on the ceiling of floor 1 of an office building, there are 96 dimming lights with built-in dimming functions, 8 vertically and 12 horizontally.

Therefore, 31 ON/OFF control terminals 8 are used.

Next, a plurality of signal terminals 10 are connected to the main operation panel 5 via a two-wire multiplex transmission line 6, and a plurality of wall switches 11 are also connected. Four signal connectors 12, labeled A, B, C, and D, are connected to the terminal 1o of the signal terminal 1o. These signal connectors 12 are each connected to the dimming lighting equipment 2, as will be described later.

Therefore, the floor 1 has a partition 13 indicated by a thick solid line.
It is divided into four office rooms 14. The state shown in FIG. 2 shows office rooms 14 having the same area, and the state shown in FIG. 3 shows office rooms 14 having different areas.

Therefore, the signal connector 12 has a plurality of input signal system switching sections 16, each of which has a plurality of connection terminals 15, indicated by a white circle on one side, and an output terminal 17 indicated by a black circle on the other side. has.
