   Die Erfindung betnfft ein Zusatzgerät für Rundsteuerempfänger, das die   Selektivität   des Codesystems des Empfängers erhöht. 



   Es war bisher üblich, ausschliesslich die Verbraucher gewisser   Verbraucher- oder Tanfgruppen   gemein- sam mittels Rundsteuerempfänger anzusteuern, deren Codesystem in seiner Selektivität auf diesen Rah- men beschränkt war. Nunmehr aber besteht der Wunsch, einzelne oder auch nur wenige Verbraucher für sich allein ansprechen zu können. Dieser neue Bedarf kann aus verschiedenen Gründen entstehen, beispielsweise zum Zweck der Aktivierung von   Datenübertragunseinrichtungen   beim Verbraucher oder zur   gänzlichen   oder teilweisen Sperre säumiger Kunden. 



   Im allgemeinen ist es üblich, bei einem Bedarf an höherer   Unterscheidungsfähigkeiteines   Rundsteuer- systems den Code und allenfalls auch die Rundsteuerempfänger auszuwechseln. Dies ist ein umständlicher und langwieriger Vorgang, während dessen sowohl die nach dem alten Codesystem arbeitenden Geräte als auch die neuen Geräte mit je getrennten Steuerbefehlen versorgt werden müssen, was   u. U.   insoferne zu   Schwierigkeiten   führt, als Informationen der verschiedenen Systeme einander   irriteren   könnten. Um dies zu verhindern, wird In der DE-AS 32 38 249 ein Rundsteuerempfänger vorgeschlagen, der von einem blshengen Auswerteprogramm auf ein neues Programm fernumschaltbar ist.

   Solche Rundsteuerempfänger können Zug um Zug gegen vorhandene Empfänger ausgetauscht werden und ermöglichen zu einem gegebenen Zeitpunkt die gleichzeitige Umstellung des gesamten Systems. 



   Die Erfindung geht von dem Standpunkt aus. dass nicht sämtliche Verbraucher, sondern nur wenige Verbraucher einen hoch auflösenden Code benötigen, während die meisten Verbraucher mit dem ursprünglichen Code ausreichend versorgt sind. Demgemäss ist es ökonomischer, eine gennge Anzahl von Verbrauchern mit einem Zusatzgerät zu versehen, das einen grösseren Informationsfluss zu dem mit einem Zusatzgerät versehenen Verbraucher ermöglicht, als sämtliche Verbraucher mit neuen Rundsteuerempfängern auszurüsten.

   The invention relates to an additional device for ripple control receivers which increases the selectivity of the code system of the receiver.



   It was previously customary to use only ripple control receivers to target only the consumers of certain consumer or tan groups whose code system was limited in its selectivity to this framework. Now, however, there is a desire to be able to address individual consumers or only a few consumers on their own. This new need can arise for various reasons, for example for the purpose of activating data transmission facilities at the consumer or for the complete or partial blocking of defaulting customers.



   In general, it is customary to change the code and, if necessary, also the ripple control receiver if a ripple control system needs to be more distinguishable. This is a cumbersome and lengthy process, during which both the devices operating according to the old code system and the new devices each have to be supplied with separate control commands, which u. This may lead to difficulties in that information from the various systems could be confusing to one another. To prevent this, a ripple control receiver is proposed in DE-AS 32 38 249, which can be switched over remotely from a blown-out evaluation program to a new program.

   Such ripple control receivers can be exchanged for existing receivers step by step and enable the entire system to be converted at the same time.



   The invention proceeds from the standpoint. that not all consumers, but only a few, need a high-resolution code, while most consumers are adequately supplied with the original code. Accordingly, it is more economical to provide a small number of consumers with an additional device which enables a greater flow of information to the consumer provided with an additional device than to equip all consumers with new ripple control receivers.

Claims

The additional device according to the invention is designed according to claim 1.

By means of an additional decoder, the number of addressable and therefore selectively controllable ripple control receivers is increased, thereby enabling additional control tasks. The increase in the number of possible addresses depends on the number of additional pulses that the additional decoder processes; for each additional pulse, the number of possible addresses is doubled.

According to a further feature of the invention, the decoder of the receiver and the additional decoder are designed for receiving pulse trains of different pulse patterns, the pulses of one pulse train being set in the pulse pauses of the other pulse train.

The starting pulses for evaluating the different pulse sequences expediently have different lengths.

The basic structure of a ripple control receiver with the additional device according to the invention is shown in the drawing. 1 and 1 denote the frequency filters of the ripple control receiver R and the additional device Z connected to the network 2. These frequency filters can be tuned to different sound frequencies.

In the event that the ripple control receiver R and the additional device Z have the same control frequency, with a single frequency filter 1 the sufficiency is found and the filter 1 'is omitted, the branching, which is indicated by a dotted line, after the EMI1.1 ten start pulse causes the evaluation of either the ripple control receiver R or the pulse series provided for the additional device Z by the assigned decoder 4 or 4 '. The information obtained from the decoders 4 and 4 ′ is evaluated in combination by a common evaluation device 5 and converted into the corresponding switching command.

EMI1.2 ! ussmögi) chke) tens the parameterization and test plugs of the original ripple control receiver are also to be provided as a plug connection for the additional circuit board.

1. Additional device for ripple control receiver with decoder, characterized in that the decoder (4) EMI1.3 Chen start-up conditions is connected in parallel. and that an additional evaluation device (5) for joint evaluation of the information obtained from the two decoders (4, 4 ') is connected to both the decoder (4) of the receiver and the additional decoder (4'). <Desc / Clms Page number 2>

2. Additional device according to claim 1, characterized in that the decoder (4) of the receiver and the additional decoder (4 ') are designed for receiving pulse trains of different pulse patterns, the pulses of one pulse train being in the pulse pauses of the other pulse train are set.

3. Additional device according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the starting pulses for the Evaluation of the different pulse sequences have different lengths
