Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the geographic location of the lamps of a lighting network or the like and relates in particular to the geographic location and addressing of the lights of a beacon network.
  • the beacon networks concerned by the present invention are public lighting networks or any other similar lighting or beaconing network. These networks consist of one or more circuit sections on which a plurality of lamps or beacons are mounted in series or in parallel. The large number of lamps or beacons mounted on these networks makes it essential to set up a tracking or addressing system for each lamp or beacon necessary for the control and monitoring of their operating state. In the case of an airport runway lighting system, this tracking system is also necessary for piloting the lights, including for example their lighting, the adjustment of their brightness or their intensity.
  • Such tracking systems exist today and consist, during the installation of the network, in identifying each light or group of lights by an address corresponding to the geographical location of the light, the address then being programmed on a central station. in connection with each traffic light in the network.
  • the tracking system may be composed of a relay system capable of evaluating a current ratio flowing in a section of the network of lights with respect to a reference current and of issuing an alarm signal when this ratio is lower at a threshold value corresponding to the nominal operation of all the lights in the section comprising the relay system.
  • This type of system makes it possible to locate the section comprising at least one defective lamp and avoids manual operations which consist in recording the address of each lamp.
  • this system also requires an adjustment of the relay system after the replacement of a light and does not allow precise identification and addressing of the defective light.
  • a first object of the invention is to provide a system for addressing the lights of a lighting or beaconing network which avoids the configuration of each light during its installation or its replacement.
  • the object of the invention therefore relates to a system for locating and addressing lights in a lighting or beaconing network comprising a central station, an electrical distribution line, a plurality of lights connected individually or in groups to said distribution line via a communication and control module.
  • each communication and control module is equipped with a GPS (Global Positioning System) system automatically transmitting its geographic location and therefore the geographic location of the group light or lights at the central station.
  • GPS Global Positioning System
  • FIG. 1 represents a beacon network in parallel according to a preferred embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 2 represents a block diagram of a communication and control module.
  • the lighting or beaconing network is a circuit composed of a central station 10 and an electrical distribution line in parallel 12 comprising a plurality of beacon lights 16-1 to 16-m, all connected individually or in groups to a communication and control module 14-1 to 1 -n.
  • the communication module 14-1 to 14-n can also be integrated into the light and in this case there are as many modules as there are lights.
  • each communication and control module 14 has a serial number stored in a register 20, implanted in its memory during its manufacture for example, it is a unique identification number which distinguishes it from other.
  • the GPS receiver 26 allows the automatic addressing of each communication and control module and therefore of each light or group of lights. It thus avoids the configuration of each lamp or group of lamps during the installation of the network of lamps and when replacing one or more defective lamps.
  • the tracking and addressing system according to the invention allows the precise tracking of each communication and control module and therefore of each light or group of lights in the network to within a few meters, regardless of the size of the network and the number of network lights.
  • the tracking and addressing system according to the invention also allows the maintenance operator also equipped with a GPS receiver to go exactly to the location of the faulty module or light.
