Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Signalanzeigeeinrichtung, insbesondere für Signalfelder in Gestellen von Digitalsignal- oder Trägerfrequenzsystemen, mit einer aus Leuchtdioden zur Anzeige von Signalen und aus einer Stromquelle bestehenden Reihenschaltung an einer Signalisierungsspannung, mit durch jeweils ein Signal ansteuerbaren Relais, mit ersten Relaiskontakten an jedem Relais, die einen Kurzschluß der jeweils zugeordnete Leuchtdiode oder ein Anschalten an die Signalisierungsspannung bewirken können, und mit zweiten Relaiskontakten an jedem Relais als Meldekontakte an Sammelleitungen, die zu einer Lichtzeicheneinrichtung, einer akustischen Zeicheneinrichtung und/oder einer Zentralen Betriebsbeobachtung führen.The invention relates to a signal display device, in particular for signal fields in frames of digital signal or carrier frequency systems, with a series connection of light-emitting diodes for displaying signals and a current source at a signaling voltage, with relays that can be controlled by a signal, with first relay contacts on each Relays, which can cause a short-circuit of the respectively assigned light-emitting diode or a connection to the signaling voltage, and with second relay contacts on each relay as signaling contacts on collecting lines, which lead to a light signaling device, an acoustic signaling device and / or a central operational monitoring.

Eine derartige Signalanzeigeeinrichtung befindet sich im PCM-Tonkanalsystem MStD, das in der Siemens-Druckschrift "PCM-Tonkanalsystem MStD für Tonsignale mit 15 kHz und 7 kHz Bandbreite", Bestell-Nr. S42022-A405-A1-2-29 beschrieben ist.Such a signal display device is located in the PCM audio channel system MStD, which is described in the Siemens publication "PCM audio channel system MStD for audio signals with 15 kHz and 7 kHz bandwidth", order no. S42022-A405-A1-2-29.

Bei der Signalisierung werden als Meldungen von fehlerhaften Geräten Fehlersignale und als Meldungen über die Nichtverfügbarkeit von Nachrichtenverbindungen Störungssignale erzeugt. Diese führen zu einem dringenden Alarm (A-Alarm) oder zu einem nicht dringenden Alarm (B-Alarm), die in Signalfeldern angezeigt werden. Quittierte Signale werden durch eine Erinnerungslampe kenntlich gemacht. Meldungen aus Signalfeldern werden an die bereits erwähnten Sammelleitungen von Gestellreihen weitergegeben.During the signaling, error signals are generated as messages from faulty devices and fault signals as messages about the unavailability of message connections. These lead to an urgent alarm (A alarm) or a non-urgent alarm (B alarm), which are displayed in signal fields. Acknowledged lamps are identified by a reminder lamp. Messages from signal fields are passed on to the above-mentioned manifolds of rack rows.

Einzelheiten über die Signalisierung bei der Bauweise 7R sind dem Pflichtenheft der Deutschen Bundespost, FTZ, 15281 Pfl 1, Ausgabe 5, Mai 1981 zu entnehmen.Details of the signaling for the 7R construction method can be found in the specifications of the Deutsche Bundespost, FTZ, 15281 Pfl 1, edition 5, May 1981.

Eine Signalanzeigeeinrichtung nach dem Stand der Technik zeigt Figur 1. Sie enthält ein Relais A, das erregt wird, wenn kein A-Alarm AA anliegt, ein Relais B, das abgefallen ist, wenn kein B-Alarm BA anliegt, und ein Relais C, das abgefallen ist, wenn kein Erinnerungssignal EA anliegt. Zu den Relais gehören mit dem entsprechenden kleinen Buchstaben bezeichnete Kontakte. Ihnen sind weiter Leuchtdioden A!, B1, C1 zugeordnet, die mit den gleichen Großbuchstaben aber mit einem Apostroph bezeichnet sind. Die Leuchtdiode C1 fungiert als Erinnerungslampe EL, die erst verlöscht, wenn Fehler und Störungen beseitigt sind. Eine Stromquelle enthält Transistoren Tl und T2 sowie Widerstände Rl und R2. Die Kontakte a2, b2 und c2 sind Meldekontakte, über welche die Zustände des A-Alarms ZA, des B-Alarms ZB und des Erinnerungssignals ZC signalisiert werden.FIG. 1 shows a signal display device according to the prior art. It contains a relay A, which is excited when there is no A alarm AA, a relay B, which has dropped out when there is no B alarm BA, and a relay C, which has dropped out if there is no reminder signal EA. The relays include contacts marked with the corresponding small letter. You are still LEDs A ! , B 1 , C 1 assigned, which are denoted by the same capital letters but with an apostrophe. The light-emitting diode C 1 acts as a reminder lamp EL, which only goes out when errors and faults have been eliminated. A current source contains transistors T1 and T2 and resistors R1 and R2. Contacts a2, b2 and c2 are signaling contacts via which the states of the A alarm ZA, the B alarm ZB and the reminder signal ZC are signaled.

An die Reihenschaltung aus der Stromquelle Tl, T2, R1, R2, aus den Leuchtdioden A!, BI und C1 und aus den Kontakten a3, b3, c3 wird eine Signalisierungsspannung Us zwischen 16 und 72 Volt angelegt. Der Transistor Tl erhält dann einen Basistrom über den Widerstand Rl, wenn einer der Kontakte a3, b3, c3 geschlossen ist. Der Emitterstrom dieses Transistors Tl fließt darauf im wesentlichen über den Widerstand R2. Erreicht der Spannungsabfall über diesem Widerstand R2 einen Wert, der größer als die Basis-Emitterspannung des Transistors T2 ist, dann wird dieser leitend und verringert den Basisstrom des Transistors Tl und damit dessen Emitterstrom. DerTo the series connection from the current source Tl, T2, R1, R2, from the LEDs A ! , B I and C 1 and from the contacts a3, b3, c3 a signaling voltage U s between 16 and 72 volts is applied. The transistor T1 then receives a base current through the resistor R1 when one of the contacts a3, b3, c3 is closed. The emitter current of this transistor T1 then flows essentially via the resistor R2. If the voltage drop across this resistor R2 reaches a value which is greater than the base-emitter voltage of the transistor T2, then this becomes conductive and reduces the base current of the transistor T1 and thus its emitter current. The

Strom, der über den Widerstand R2 fließt, ist daher im wesentlichen von der Basis-Emitterspannung des Transistors T2 abhängig. Der Strom, der durch den Widerstand Rl fließt, hängt dagegen von der Signalisierungsspannung Us und von der Anzahl der angesteuerten Leuchtdioden A', B', C' ab. Mit größerwerdender Signalisierungsspannung Us steigt der Strom durch den Widerstand Rl und damit auch der Strom durch die Leuchtdioden A', B', C', der sich aus den Kollektorströmen der Transistoren Tl und T2 zusammensetzt. Die Einschaltung der einzelnen Leuchtdioden A', B' und C' bewirken die Relaiskontakte al, bl, cl, a3, b3, c3.Current flowing through resistor R2 is therefore essentially dependent on the base-emitter voltage of transistor T2. The current which flows through the resistor Rl, on the other hand, depends on the signaling voltage U s and on the number of controlled light-emitting diodes A ', B', C '. As the signaling voltage U s increases, the current through the resistor R1 and thus also the current through the light-emitting diodes A ', B', C ', which is composed of the collector currents of the transistors T1 and T2. Switching on the individual LEDs A ', B' and C 'cause the relay contacts al, bl, cl, a3, b3, c3.

Die zulässige Signalisierungsspannung liegt zwischen 16V und 72V, weil Amtsbatterien von 24V, 48V und60V vorliegen.The permissible signaling voltage is between 16V and 72V because 24V, 48V and 60V official batteries are available.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, den zulässigen Bereich der Signalisierungsspannung Us auf 10,5V bis 72V zu erweitern, den Strom durch die Leuchtdiodenschaltung möglichst konstant zu halten und eine Verbilligung der Signalanzeigeeinrichtung zu erreichen.The object of the invention is to extend the permissible range of the signaling voltage U s to 10.5V to 72V, to keep the current through the light-emitting diode circuit as constant as possible and to make the signal display device cheaper.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß als Stromquelle ein Transistor mit Emitterwiderstand vorgesehen sind, daß der Basis des Transistors als Referenzspannungsquelle eine Zenerdiode zugeordnet ist, deren Vorwiderstand mit einem Speiseeingang verbunden ist, und daß als erste Relaiskontakte Wechselkontakte vorgesehen sind, die bei Freigabe der jeweils zugeordneten Leuchtdiode eine Verbindung von der dem Transistor abgewandten Seite der Leuchtdiode für die vom Transistor am weitesten entfernt liegende Leuchtdiode unmittelbar und für die weiteren Leuchtdioden über eine Entkoppeldiode zum Speiseeingang herstellen.This object is achieved in that a transistor with an emitter resistor is provided as a current source, that a Zener diode is assigned to the base of the transistor as a reference voltage source, the series resistor of which is connected to a supply input, and that change contacts are provided as first relay contacts, which when the each associated light-emitting diode directly from the side of the light-emitting diode facing away from the transistor for the light-emitting diode furthest away from the transistor and for the further light-emitting diodes via a decoupling diode to the feed input.

Die Erweiterung des Signalisierungsspannungsbereichs hat zur Folge, daß die Signalanzeigeeinrichtung auch in Ämtern mit 12V Amtsbatterien einsetzbar ist. Der Strom durch die Leuchtdioden soll konstant bleiben, um deren gleichmäßige Leuchtdichte zu erreichen und um die Leuchtdioden durch ein unzulässig hohes Ansteigen des Stroms nicht zu überlasten. Ein Relais mit Wechselkontakt ist billiger als eins mit zwei Einzelkontakten.The expansion of the signaling voltage range has the consequence that the signal display device can also be used in offices with 12V official batteries. The current through the light emitting diodes should remain constant in order to achieve their uniform luminance and in order not to overload the light emitting diodes due to an impermissibly high increase in the current. A relay with a changeover contact is cheaper than one with two individual contacts.

Soll ein geringer Anstieg des Stroms durch die Zenerdiode bei Ansprechen des Relais vermieden werden, dessen zugeordnete Leuchtdiode vom Transistor in der Reihenschaltung am weitesten entfernt liegt, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn auch dieser Leuchtdiode eine Entkoppeldiode zugeordnet ist.If a slight increase in the current through the Zener diode is to be avoided when the relay responds, the associated light-emitting diode of which is furthest away from the transistor in the series circuit, it is advantageous if a decoupling diode is also assigned to this light-emitting diode.

Vorteilhaft kann es weiter sein, wenn bei kleinen Zenerspannungen anstelle der Zenerdiode eine Reihenschaltung mehrerer Dioden vorgesehen ist. Bei kleinen Zenerspannungen kann eine Zenerdiode nämlich auch durch eine Reihenschaltung mehrerer Dioden ersetzt werden.It can also be advantageous if, in the case of small Zener voltages, a series connection of several diodes is provided instead of the Zener diode. With low Zener voltages, a Zener diode can also be replaced by a series connection of several diodes.

Bei zu großem Basis-Kollektor-Reststrom des Transistors ist es erforderlich, daß der Zenerdiode oder der Reihenschaltung mehrerer Dioden ein Widerstand parallelgeschaltet ist, um den Transistor sicher zu sperren, wenn kein Alarm anliegt.If the base-collector residual current of the transistor is too high, it is necessary for the zener diode or the series connection of a plurality of diodes to have a resistor connected in parallel in order to reliably block the transistor when there is no alarm.

Anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen wird die Erfindung nachstehend näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of exemplary embodiments.

Diese Reihenschaltung liegt an einer Signalisierungsspannung US. Die Leuchtdioden A' ... N' werden von Wechselkontakten al' ...nl' in einer Lage überbrückt. In der anderen Lage verbinden sie die vom Transistor T abgewandten Seiten der Leuchtdioden A' ... N' über Entkopplungsdioden DA ... DN mit dem Speiseeingang S des Widerstandes R1.

Die Dioden DA ... D (N - 1) sind erforderlich, da ohne sie immer nur eine Leuchtdiode leuchten würde, wenn mehrere Relais gleichzeitig angesprochen haben. Durch die Entkoppeldioden DA ... DN wird außerdem erreicht, daß der Strom durch den Widerstand Rl immer gleich groß ist und zwar unabhängig davon, ob ein oder mehrere Relais A ... N angesprochen haben. Der Strom ILD aus der Stromquelle T, R2, Z, Rl ist gleich Null, wenn kein Relais A ... N angezogen hat, da der Transistor T dann keinen Basisstrom über den Widerstand Rl erhält. Hat ein oder haben mehrere Relais A ... N angesprochen, so fließt durch die entsprechende Leuchtdiode ein Strom
