Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein DALI- Stromschienensystem für Beleuchtungssysteme mit einer Datenleitung, enthaltend ein oder mehrere Endgeräte, die an beliebigen Positionen in dem Stromschienensystem flexibel lösbar anschließbar sind, wobei ein gemeinsames zentrales Steuersystem vorgesehen ist, und wenigstens eines der Endgeräte ein Sensor oder ein Empfänger ist, mit welchem Signale aufnehmbar und über die Datenleitung an das zentrale Steuerungssystem leitbar sind.The invention relates to a DALI busbar system for lighting systems with a data line, comprising one or more terminals, which are flexibly detachably connectable at arbitrary positions in the busbar system, wherein a common central control system is provided, and at least one of the terminals is a sensor or a receiver , with which signals can be received and can be conducted via the data line to the central control system.
Bei der Gebäudetechnik und insbesondere bei der Beleuchtung von Gebäuden, oder Teilen von Gebäuden werden häufig Leuchten mit einstellbaren Parametern eingesetzt. Zu diesen einstellbaren Parametern gehört die Auswahl von Leuchten, die eingeschaltet werden sollen und die gewünschte Helligkeit, mit welcher die Leuchten strahlen. Üblicherweise werden die Leuchten mittels Schaltern zum Beispiel an einer Tür betätigt, die auch als Dimmer ausgestaltet sein können. Mit diesen Dimmern kann die Helligkeit der Leuchten eingestellt werden.In building technology, and in particular in the lighting of buildings, or parts of buildings are often used lights with adjustable parameters. These adjustable parameters include the selection of luminaires to be switched on and the desired brightness with which the luminaires shine. Usually, the lights are operated by means of switches, for example on a door, which can also be configured as a dimmer. With these dimmers, the brightness of the lights can be adjusted.
Es gibt weiterhin Stromschienensysteme, die es ermöglichen Leuchten flexibel durch einen Laien in beliebiger Zahl und Lage an gewünschten Positionen anzubringen. Die Stromschiene besteht aus einem meist U-förmigen Metallprofil, welches in oder an der Decke eines Raumes fest angebracht wird. Innerhalb der Stromschiene sind isolierte Leiterbahnen vorgesehen. Jede Leuchte ist mit einem Adapter versehen, der an dem Stromschienensystem befestigt wird und mittels eingebauter Kontakte mit der Stromleitung verbunden wird. Solche Stromschienensysteme haben den Vorteil, daß die Position der Leuchten auch vom Laien eingestellt werden können. Weiterhin haben die Stromschienensysteme den Vorteil, daß sie in neuen Gebäuden bereits verlegt werden können, auch wenn deren Nutzung und entsprechend die genaue Anzahl, Art und Lage der verwendeten Leuchten noch nicht feststeht. Bei derartigen Stromschienensystemen können die Leuchten jedoch nicht einzeln angesteuert werden. Es ist daher erforderlich, die Leuchten mit Informationen über den gewünschten Betriebszustand zu versorgen.There are also busbar systems that allow luminaires to be mounted flexibly by a layman in any number and position at desired positions. The busbar consists of a mostly U-shaped metal profile, which is fixedly mounted in or on the ceiling of a room. Within the busbar insulated tracks are provided. Each luminaire is provided with an adapter which is attached to the busbar system and connected to the power line by means of built-in contacts. Such busbar systems have the advantage that the position of the lights can also be adjusted by the layman. Furthermore, the busbar systems have the advantage that they can be installed in new buildings already, even if their use and according to the exact number, type and location of the lights used is not yet established. In such busbar systems, however, the lights can not be controlled individually. It is therefore necessary to provide the lights with information about the desired operating state.
Die Übertragung sämtlicher Informationen mittels Funk- oder Infrarotsendern und Empfängern zu diesem Zweck ist zwar prinzipiell möglich, jedoch störanfällig. Das Verfahren produziert den sogenannten Elektrosmog, der Störungen anderer Geräte bewirken kann. Auch ist die Verwendung der erforderlichen Sender und Empfänger kostenintensiv. Bei Infrarotübertragung können andere Systeme, die sich ebenfalls im Raum befinden gestört werden.The transmission of all information by means of radio or infrared transmitters and receivers for this purpose is in principle possible, but prone to failure. The process produces what is known as electrosmog, which can cause other devices to malfunction. Also, the use of the required transmitter and receiver is costly. With infrared transmission, other systems that are also located in the room can be disturbed.
Die Informationsübertragung über fest installierte Kabel kombiniert mit einer Stromversorgung über Kabelkanäle ist ebenfalls bekannt. Kabelkanäle sind fest installierte Kunststoffrohre oder -profile, in denen eine Vielzahl von Stromkabeln, Datenleitungen und anderen Kabeln lose gerührt werden kann. An dem Kunststoffrohr sind fest integrierte Anschlüsse vorgesehen, an denen die so verlegten Kabel angezapft und Energie oder Informationen über eine geeignete Schnittstelle entnommen werden können. Die Anschlüsse liegen dabei fest installiert an vorgegebenen Punkten des Kabelkanals. Zusätzliche Anschlüsse können nur über einen Fachmann mit vergleichsweise großem Aufwand installiert werden.The information transmission via permanently installed cables combined with a power supply via cable channels is also known. Cable ducts are permanently installed plastic pipes or profiles in which a variety of power cables, data cables and other cables can be stirred loosely. Firmly integrated connections are provided on the plastic pipe, on which the cables laid in this way can be tapped and energy or information taken out via a suitable interface. The connections are permanently installed at predetermined points of the cable duct. Additional connections can only be installed by a specialist with comparatively great effort.
Es ist weiterhin unter der Bezeichnung EIB (European Installation Bus) ein System mit einer Stromschiene und einer Datenleitung bekannt. Das System ist u.a. beschrieben in der Druckschrift "Tageslichtabhängige Beleuchtungssysteme auf der Basis von Installationsbussen" von P.T. Knoop, Fortschritt-Ber. VDI Reihe 6 Nr. 396 1998. Jede angeschlossene Leuchte ist bei diesem System über einen Knoten mit der Stromschiene und der Datenleitung verbunden. Der Knoten weist eine Datenverarbeitungseinheit auf. Die Knoten sind zusammen mit einem Informationsgenerator und einem Übersetzer in einem Aktor vorgesehen, der fest mit der Stromschiene verbunden ist. Jeder an das System angeschlossene Knoten ist dabei bezüglich der Kommunikation der angeschlossenen Geräte gleichberechtigt. Jedes angeschlossene Gerät ist Sender und Empfänger von Informationen, die über ein BUS-System kommuniziert werden. Eine zentrale Steuereinheit ist nicht vorgesehen. Das System eignet sich daher für quasi beliebig große Anwendungen wie die Verwaltung komplexer Gebäudetechnik für große Gebäude. Das System ist aber für viele einfachere Anwendungen zu teuer und aufwendig.It is also known under the name of EIB (European Installation Bus) a system with a busbar and a data line. The system is described inter alia in the publication "Daylight Dependent Lighting Systems Based on Installation Buses" by PT Knoop, Progress-Ber. VDI Series 6 No. 396 1998. Each luminaire connected in this system is connected via a node to the busbar and the data line. The node has a data processing unit. The nodes are provided together with an information generator and a translator in an actuator fixedly connected to the bus bar. Each node connected to the system is equal in terms of the communication of the connected devices. Each connected device is the sender and receiver of information that is communicated via a BUS system. A central control unit is not provided. The system is therefore suitable for almost arbitrarily large applications such as the management of complex building technology for large buildings. However, the system is too expensive and expensive for many simpler applications.

Bei dem bekannten Stromschienensystem mit Datenleitung fließen die Daten in Form von Steuerbefehlen vom zentralen Steuerrechner zu den angeschlossenen Leuchten. Eine Veränderung des Betriebszustands kann daher nur durch ein Programm oder eine Eingabe am Steuerrechner erreicht werden.In the known busbar system with data line, the data flow in the form of control commands from the central control computer to the connected lights. A change in the operating state can therefore only be achieved by a program or an input at the control computer.
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein DALI-Stromschienensystem zu schaffen, bei dem angeschlossene Endgeräte in Abhängigkeit von den Umgebungsbedingungen steuerbar sind und welches kostengünstig realisierbar ist. Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß die Endgeräte individuell addressierbar ohne eigene Steuerfunktionen sind und eine Datenübertragung nach dem Master-Slave-Prinzip ausschließlich zwischen einem der Endgeräte und dem zentralen Steuersystem erfolgt. Durch die Verwendung von Sensoren oder Empfängern fließen Informationen auch in der entgegengesetzten Richtung zum Steuerrechner. Der Steuerrechner kann die vom Sensor oder Empfänger gelieferten Informationen aufnehmen, zentral verarbeiten und die Resultate zur Steuerung weiterer angeschlossener Endgeräte vorsehen. Durch die Verwendung eines gemeinsamen Steuerrechners können die Endgeräte entsprechend kostengünstig ausgeführt werden. Die Endgeräte brauchen keine eigenen Datenverarbeitungseinheiten. Die ohnehin vorhandene Infrastruktur für die Stromversorgung wird gleichzeitig für die Datenkommunikation nutzbar gemacht, wobei eine besonders hohe Flexibilität gewährleistet wird, da die Endgeräte vom Laien ohne besonderenAufwand installiert werden können. Dies macht die Verwendung in solchen Fällen besonders attraktiv, in denen die Nutzungsart häufig wechselt und die Installationen entsprechend jeweils an unterschiedlichen Stellen vorgesehen sind. Für die Kommunikation dient der Kommunikations-Standard DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface).It is an object of the invention to provide a DALI busbar system in which connected terminals are controllable depending on the environmental conditions and which is inexpensive to implement. According to the invention the object is achieved in that the terminals are individually addressable without their own control functions and a data transfer according to the master-slave principle takes place exclusively between one of the terminals and the central control system. By using sensors or receivers, information also flows in the opposite direction to the control computer. The control computer can receive the information supplied by the sensor or receiver, process it centrally and provide the results for controlling other connected terminals. By using a common control computer, the terminals can be carried out in accordance with cost. The terminals do not need their own data processing units. The already existing infrastructure for the power supply is made available at the same time for data communication, whereby a particularly high flexibility is ensured because the devices can be installed by the layman without special effort. This makes the use particularly attractive in cases where the type of use changes frequently and the installations are respectively provided at different locations. The communication standard DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) is used for communication.

Then the properties of badly accessible luminaires can be set optimally and complete scenarios can be changed and programmed without much effort.
Bei größeren Anwendungen kann die Anordnung als kleinerer Baustein an ein BUS-System ankoppelbar sein. Hierfür kann eine geeignete Schnittstelle oder ein Koppler vorgesehen sein. Dann können auch große Zahlen von Endgeräten in komplexen Anwendungen eingesetzt werden. Statt eines Sensors kann auch ein Empfänger vorgesehen sein, der Steuersignale eines Senders zur Steuerung weiterer Endgeräte erhält.

Zur Einstellung des Betriebszustands des Beleuchtungssystems ist ein Infrarot-Empfänger 50 in der Stromschiene vorgesehen. Der Infrarot-Empfänger 50 empfängt Daten von einem Infrarot-Sender 52, der vom Anwender 54 nach Art einer Fernbedienung betätigt wird. Statt einer Datenübertragung mittels Infrarot-Signalen kann auch eine Datenübertragung per Funk oder einem Kabel erfolgen. Die aktuellen Werte des Schienenabschnitts für den Betriebszustands werden auf einem Display der Fernbedienung 52 angezeigt. Durch Eingabe neuer Daten kann dann der Betriebszustand am Beleuchtungssystem 38 verändert werden. Hierfür werden die Infrarot-Signale zunächst an den Empfänger 50 gesendet. Dies ist durch einen Pfeil 56 dargestellt. Der Empfänger 50 wandelt die Infrarot-Signale in einen Datenstrom und gibt diese an den zentralen Steuerrechner weiter. Dies ist durch einen Pfeil 58 dargestellt. Mittels der Fernbedienung sind auch schlecht erreichbare Beleuchtungssysteme auf Bühnen oder dergleichen gut einstellbar. Weitere Leuchten können durch den gleichen Empfänger angesteuert werden. Solche komplexere Beleuchtungssysteme treten zum Beispiel in Schaufenstern oder Bühnen auf.

Alle Endgeräte sind mit einem Sicherheitsbaustein versehen. Der Sicherheitsbaustein ist an das Vorschaltgerät anschließbar oder in das Vorschaltgerät integrierbar. Er besteht im wesentlichen aus einer Sicherung. Mit dem Einbau eines Sicherheitsbausteins soll verhindert werden, daß bei Defekten in einem Endgerät ein Kontakt zwischen der Stromleitung der Datenleitung hergestellt wird. Die Datenleitung kann dann quasi frei zugänglich ausgestaltet werden und braucht aufgrund der geringen fließenden Ströme nicht extra gegen unbeabsichtigtes Berühren durch den Anwender gesichert werden. Dabei ist der Sicherheitsbaustein als Adapter ausgebildet, der durch eine einfache Steckverbindung anschließbar ist.All terminals are provided with a security module. The safety module can be connected to the ballast or integrated into the ballast. It essentially consists of a fuse. With the installation of a security module is to prevent that in case of defects in a terminal, a contact between the power line of the data line is made. The data line can then be designed quasi freely accessible and need not be secured against accidental contact by the user due to the low flowing currents. In this case, the security module is designed as an adapter, which can be connected by a simple plug connection.
