Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for programming a programmable logic controller or a microprocessor control circuit for groupwise control of lighting fixtures.
  • the invention further relates to a method for programming a programmable logic controller or a microprocessor control circuit for group-wise control of window blinds.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a method by means of which the programming of a programmable logic controller for lighting control can be carried out in a simple and rapid manner.
  • this is achieved in that the assignment into a computer is entered by room push buttons to the lighting groups, the assignment of lighting functions for the lighting groups is also entered, and that the computer uses the input values to generate a program which can be loaded into the programmable logic controller or the microprocessor control circuit and which, in the controller or the control circuit, the selected one Assignments and functions.
  • a loadable program it is also possible to generate a parameter list to supplement a program preloaded in the control or the control circuit.
  • the programming of the control is divided in such a way that on the one hand only the assignments of the room pushbuttons to the lighting groups and the desired functions per lighting group are entered into a computer, and that the computer uses these input values to load a program or a parameter that can be loaded into the control. If a list is created, the programming of such a controller is simplified in such a way that a controller ready for installation can be provided within a very short time.
  • Assignments and functions are preferably entered using screen input masks.
  • the computer also forms the program that can be loaded into the control system by compiling the program from a plurality of existing software modules on the basis of the input values.
  • Figure 1 shows schematically a conventional control of lighting groups by means of a programmable logic controller.
  • One lighting group 1 is provided in each room, only the lighting group 1 in room 1 being shown in the figure for the sake of simplicity.
  • an illumination group 2 in room 2 or an illumination group 3 in room 3 etc. would be provided.
  • At least one room push button RT1, RT2, RT3, RT4, RT5 and RT6 is also provided in each room.
  • the lighting groups are controlled by means of a programmable logic controller 8. This is e.g. a known controller of the type Micro-1 from the company Square D.
  • the room push buttons are connected to the inputs 1-6 of the controller 8.
  • the lighting groups are each connected to an output of the controller 8.
  • buttons ZE and ZA are shown in the figure, which act on the inputs 0 and 7 and enable the central activation or deactivation of all lighting groups.
  • software modules are available which allow the programming of the controller in such a way that a conventional sensible controller of the room lighting can be programmed. Nevertheless, the programming is relatively complex and complicated control functions cannot be implemented with reasonable effort.
  • the computer preferably generates a screen input mask, as is shown schematically in FIG. 2.
  • the lighting groups are specified in this input mask, which is preferably constructed in the form of a matrix or crossbar. In the illustration in FIG. 2, this was done in such a way that the outputs 200, 201, 202, 203, 204 and 205 of the programmable logic controller are shown for the lighting groups.
  • the room buttons RT1, RT2, RT3, RT4, RT5 and RT6 are specified in the input mask.
  • This input mask allows you to easily assign the room push buttons to the lighting groups. This is done by keyboard-controlled or mouse-controlled marking of the matrix or crossbar element that links the respective room sensor with the respective lighting group.
  • the assignment of each room button to an illumination group is highlighted by marking the respective matrix element.
  • the controller 8 is to be programmed by the computer in such a way that the room push button RT1 is assigned to the lighting group which is addressed by the output 200 of the controller 8; the push button RT2 is assigned according to the output 201, the push button RT3 is assigned to the output 202 etc.
  • the RT1 button can also control the lighting group connected to output 201.
  • the lighting group in room 1 and room 2 is switched on. This can be useful, for example, if the rooms 1 and 2 have a connection with each other. It can also make sense if room 1 and room 2 are only partially separated from each other by partitions. It can also be useful if separate rooms 1 and 2 are expected to have the partition removed in the foreseeable future.
  • the computer which is generally a normal personal computer, selects corresponding control program modules from a module library according to the input values on the screen input mask and connects these to bring about the desired assignment of the room push button control output the controller 8.
  • the program modules for the controller 8 stored in the computer are known per se and their connection is also known in principle. Therefore, this need not be explained in detail here.
  • the input mask shown in FIG. 3 is generated after the screen input mask shown in FIG. This is function-related.
  • the outputs 200-205 of the controller 8 are shown again.
  • a number of selectable functions are listed. In the example shown, these are the function ON / OFF, the function ONLY ON, the function ENERGY SAVING switch, the function MINUTERIE and the function MINUTERIE WITH TWO DELAY TIMES.
  • One of these functions can now be assigned to each output 200-205.
  • outputs 200 and 201 are assigned the ONLY function.
  • the output 202 as an ON / OFF output and the other outputs according to the matrix elements highlighted in FIG. 3.
  • the ON ONLY function causes the lighting to be activated using the corresponding buttons that act on these outputs can only be switched on, but not switched off.
  • Such a function is useful, for example, for shop lighting. There it is not desirable for a customer to be able to switch off the shop lighting by means of a generally accessible button. With this function, the switching off or the deactivation of the outputs 200 and 201 can only be achieved by the central function explained below, that is to say by a central button ZA.
  • the specified ON / OFF function results in the normal function of a light switch, whereby the state of the lighting changes each time the button is pressed.
  • the function designated as an energy-saving switch in the input mask causes the correspondingly selected output to react to the buttons assigned to it in such a way that one press of a button switches on the lighting for a preselected lighting period and a second press of the button switches it off immediately.
  • a central ON / OFF switch is possible for both the ON / OFF switch and the energy-saving switch.
  • the following function, which is called the minute track corresponds to the usual staircase lighting.
  • the selection of these lighting durations can be selected, for example, by the duration of the key press on the assigned keys.
  • a short key press gives a lighting duration during a preselected short time
  • a long key press gives a lighting duration during a preselected long time.
  • Such an application can be useful, for example, in an underground car park, where the user can change the duration of the lighting as required can choose.
  • the central ON / OFF switching can also be possible here.
  • the computer selects the corresponding software modules from the module library when creating the program for the controller 8 and assigns them to the respective output. This also needs to be described here, which is basically known from the programming of programmable logic controllers.
  • the modules for the above-described new functions of the control are not yet known in the prior art, but can easily be created by a person skilled in the art on the basis of the above-described desired function.
  • FIG. 4 shows a further input mask which appears when a function with a time delay has been selected in the previous function input mask, that is to say in the case of the energy-saving switch and the minute track function.
  • the desired time can be selected in the input mask for the respective output or for the lighting group.
  • two times can be selected or one time can be fixed and only the second time must be selected in each case or one time can be entered and the second time is obtained by multiplying the first time by a predetermined factor, for example the factor 4.
  • the selection is again made via the matrix-type screen input mask from FIG. 4 via the selection of the corresponding matrix element.
  • the selection of a variable time is also provided, which is shown in FIG. 4 with a second to 100 minutes. In this case, the controller 2 provides an adjustment option for this time.
  • the time is set in a known manner in the corresponding software modules by inserting a count value.
  • the input mask shown in FIG. 5 enables the input of the desired central ON or central OFF functions into the computer, if such are provided.
  • Central ON which in turn can be assigned in matrix form to the corresponding outputs or the pushbuttons that act on them, you can select whether the central switch-on takes place without delay or whether it is used in cascade to avoid peak network loads, i.e. in lighting groups in succession. You can also choose whether a cascade switch-on should only take place after a mains interruption or only in normal operation.
  • the central functions can be designed in such a way that they take precedence over the local functions. For example, the time functions for the central OFF function are interrupted. Conversely, the time function can be switched to steady light if the central ON function is activated on the corresponding switch. If one of the room pushbuttons is subsequently actuated, the central ON command can be canceled again for this room; for example the light in each cleaned room can be switched off separately by cleaning staff. These links are also made automatically by the computer when the control program is created.
  • FIG. 6 schematically shows a flow diagram of a computer program for the method according to the invention.
  • the program for the controller 8 formed by the computer in this way can be introduced into the respective control circuit in various ways.
  • the program formed by the computer can be programmed directly into an electrically programmable memory module via a programming device connected to the computer. This is then used in the controller 8.
  • the controller 8 has an interface for direct connection to the computer and that the program code in this way is entered into the controller.
  • the program created by the computer 8 on the basis of the input values can also be temporarily stored on a data carrier.
  • the computer preferably also uses a connected printer to create a label for identifying the controller 8. This can be identified, for example, by the system name, a project name, a date, etc. An exact protocol is preferably also generated and printed out, in which, in addition to the project name, the individual input masks are also specified with the input values.
  • the invention described using the example enables a significant simplification of the programming of a lighting control.
  • the entire programming takes place on the one hand configuration-related when selecting the assignment of room buttons and lighting groups and on the other hand function-related separately when selecting the function belonging to each lighting group.
  • Programming is carried out by entering values into a computer, preferably via screen input masks, and thus detached from conventional wiring diagrams that are difficult to understand.
  • This simplification of programming means that new functions such as the energy-saving switch described or the minute scale with two delay times can only be implemented in practice.
  • the computer can also generate a parameter list based on the input values. This is then loaded into the controller or control circuit and, together with a preloaded standard program, forms the individual, executable program according to the input values. Instead of just one program or only one list, several different programs can also be created and loaded into the controller. These programs are then effective depending on the time and / or event. For example, a different lighting control program can be active at night than during the day, or it can be switched to a different lighting control program when a fire alarm is triggered in the building.
  • a control for window blinds can also be programmed in the same way.
  • the programming is carried out by a computer by entering the desired assignments of actuation switches and blinds and the desired functions. Based on these input values, the computer then generates the corresponding control program for the control.
  • central functions can of course be provided, such as a centrally switchable raising or lowering of the blinds and possibly centrally selectable intermediate positions.
