Abstract
The present invention provides a method for a multi-channel dimmer used for starting light control device. The multi-channel dimmer is used for feeding electricity to at least one load, wherein, a central control circuit is connected with a communication interface of the dimmer channels via data lines, and can separately control each dimmer channel by single address. Each dimmer channel has a power electronic device, a control electronic device and an output terminal for connecting load. More important, after at least one load is connected with only one dimmer channel or a plurality of dimmer channels, the control circuit is used for executing and estimating one testing process. In the testing process, the control circuit respectively and separably controls only one dimmer channel in a predetermined time interval; the control electronic devices of all the dimmer channels respectively detect the voltage signals existing at the output terminal and report the voltage signals to the control circuit; and the control circuit determines which dimmer channels are connected in parallel to form a combine dimmer group according to the reported voltage signals.

-execute-in- place key 8 or 18 or 25 or 37 or 45,
-be used for the communication interface 7 or 17 or 24 or 36 or 44 that is connected with control circuit 52,
-be used for the L interface (supply power voltage interface) 9 or 19 or 26 or 38 or 46 that is connected with the supply voltage line (phase line) of AC network,
-be used to connect the output (loading interfaces) 13 or 21 or 30 or 40 or 50 of load (lighting device),
-be used to connect the extension set input 10 or 20 or 27 or 39 or 47 of extension set.
Extension set 11 is connected with extension set input 10.Extension set 28 is connected with extension set input 27.Extension set 48 is connected with extension set input 47.Extension set 11 or other interface of 28 or 48 are used separately as N interface or L interface 12 or 29 or 49, are used for being connected with the supply voltage line or the zero line of power supply grid.
Fig. 2 shows a light modulation passage of multichannel dimmer.The exemplary light modulation passage 6 that illustrates has controllable power electronic equipment 54, and this power electronic equipment is connected with L interface 9 with its first main interface, and is connected with output 13 with its second main interface.The control input end of power electronic equipment 54 is connected with the output of control electronic installation 55.This control electronic installation 55 can:
-by execute-in-place key 8,
-by an extension set, by extension set input 10
-by control circuit 52, by communication interface 7,
Voltage in addition.
Tap at output 13 places is even more important, and control electronic installation 55 detects the voltage signal that exists at output 13 by this tap.Certainly, other light modulation passage is constructed in an identical manner.
Each light modulation passage 6,16,23,35,43 of multichannel dimmer 3 can be installed in the distribution box, perhaps also can be installed in the different concealed installation sockets.After the light control appliance is finished wiring in the mode of expectation, according to the present invention, by control circuit 52 start and assessment below the test process that will illustrate.Here, the precondition of startup test process is:
-apply supply power voltage for the L interface (seeing the mark 9,19,26,38,46 of Fig. 1) of all light modulation passages,
-control circuit 52 can separately be controlled each light modulation passage 6,16,23,35,43 by independent address and data wire 56,
-control circuit 52 and light modulation passage 6,16,23,35, the communication by data wire between 43 (is seen communication interface 7,17,24,36,44) be two-way communication, that is to say that the voltage signal that exists is can be by control electronic installation 55 detected and be reported to control circuit 52 by data wire 56 on the output of light modulation passage.
In the first step of test process, control circuit 52 sends the control signal that is used to control the first light modulation passage 6 at certain duration.Therefore, on the output 13 of light modulation passage 6, there is a voltage signal.Because the output 13,21 of two light modulation passages 6,16 interconnects, so this voltage signal also is present on the output 21.Therefore, the control electronic installation 55 of two light modulation passages 6,16 is reported these voltage signals by data wire 56 to control circuit 52.Control electronic installation 55 report one voltage signals " Null " of other light modulation passage 23,35,43.Control circuit is reached a conclusion thus: output 13,21 parallel connections of two light modulation passages 6,16.
In second step of test process, control circuit 52 sends the control signal that is used to control the 3rd light modulation passage 23 at certain duration.Therefore, on the output 30 of light modulation passage 25, there is a voltage signal.Therefore, have only the control electronic installation 55 of light modulation passage 23 to report these voltage signals to control circuit 52 by data wire 56, and control electronic installation 55 report one voltage signals " Null " of other light modulation passage 6,16,35,43.Control circuit 52 is reached a conclusion thus: the output of light modulation passage 23 is not in parallel with other light modulation passage.
In the third step of test process, control circuit 52 sends the control signal that is used to control the 4th light modulation passage 35 at certain duration.Therefore, on the output 40 of light modulation passage 35, there is a voltage signal.Because the output 40,50 of two light modulation passages 35,43 interconnects, so this voltage signal also is present on the output 50.Therefore, the control electronic installation 55 of two light modulation passages 35,43 is reported these voltage signals by data wire 56 to control circuit 52.Control electronic installation 55 report one voltage signals " Null " of other light modulation passage 6,16,23.Control circuit is reached a conclusion thus: output 40,50 parallel connections of two light modulation passages 35,43.
This test process repeats to the group subordinate relation of clearly determining all light modulation passages always.
After finish test procedure (perhaps alternatively after each single step of test process), the relevant parameter signal of the control electronic installation 55 by being sent to each light modulation passage makes execute-in-place spare, extension set input and some function of having distributed to a certain light modulation passage of associating light modulation group now not activate independently.In the present embodiment, execute-in- place spare 18,37 and extension set input 20,39 are not activated.Reason to this is: have only a light modulation passage to be responsible for by execute-in-place key or the operation by extension set input or the control circuit 52 by the higher level and responsible CSRC load condition also this state feedback to control circuit 52 in associating light modulation group.
Now, the operation of the first associating light modulation group 5 is only by execute-in-place spare 8, and extension set input 10 and control circuit 52 (by applying the bus of voltage for control circuit 52) carry out.
Now, the operation of the second associating light modulation group 34 is only by execute-in-place spare 45, and extension set input 47 and control circuit 52 (by applying the bus of voltage for control circuit 52) carry out.
Certainly, the front just exemplarily shows the special associating of the channel combined one-tenth light modulation of each light modulation group, that is to say that other any configuration is attainable.
