Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to methods and apparatus by which bulbs, such as LEDs, gas discharge lamps, high pressure lamps, etc. can be controlled and / or regulated to predefined dimming levels (dimming levels).
  • ECGs electronic ballasts
  • operating devices are also known from the prior art in which at such a digital control input (digital interface) optionally just a digital signal or else a signal generated by means of a mains-powered pushbutton can be applied. In this case, so a user, if he does not want to get over the digital peripherals, the Activate the digital control input of the operating device by pressing the button. In this case, for example, the time duration and the repetition rate of the push-button operation are evaluated by the connected operating device as a signal for switching on / off or for dimming.
  • ECG electronic ballast
  • an operating device for lighting means which is controllable starting from a switch connected to a supply voltage switch. Functionalities are programmed in advance in the operating device.
  • the present invention now has the task of expanding the known button control.
  • the extension consists in programming and / or calling complex functionalities for the first time in this way, as previously known only in the field of digital or analog bus control.
  • a “complex” functionality is characterized by the fact that not as in the known “simple” functionality essentially timely 1: 1 a control signal is traced. Examples of “simple” functionalities are the switching on and off as well as the specification of dimming values.
  • time-shifted processes can also be triggered, which are often programmed in advance.
  • the control signal can also have the character of a selection signal, by one of several pre-programmed functionalities is triggered.
  • a method for configuring a control device for lighting means from a pushbutton or switch connected to a supply voltage.
  • the button or switch is manually operated to selectively apply the supply voltage as a control signal to a control input of the operating device.
  • the control signal is evaluated.
  • a functionality of the operating device is stored, changed or deleted. Thus, this functionality can be made available according to the changed extent in a future operation of the operating device accordingly.
  • the stored functionality can then be called, for example by pressing the button or switch, or by other wireless or wired interfaces.
  • the operating device can be set in a configuration mode. In this configuration mode it is possible to store, modify or delete functionalities.
  • the operating device can thus interpret further push-button or switch operations as an editing of functionalities.
  • the functionality can also be, for example, the assignment of an address to the operating device.
  • the control signal itself can also be transmitted address-specific, i. At least part of the control signal is interpreted by a connected operating device as a (logical) address.
  • a supply voltage such as mains voltage.
  • Functionalities in the operating device are programmed in advance. These functions can then be called by manual operation of the button or switch, wherein the operation of the button or switch selectively the supply voltage is applied as a control signal to a control input of the operating device.
  • the functionalities mentioned may include, for example, the address assignment, the addressed control, the programming of functionalities, the programming of parameters for future activations and / or the calling of sequences (sequences).
  • a method for controlling an operating device for lighting means starting from a connected to a supply voltage, such as the mains voltage switch or switch.
  • the control based on the button or switch is addressable, i. E. the operating device interprets at least a portion of the signal generated by the button or switch as a logical address.
  • the invention also relates to control gear for lighting, in particular to an electronic ballast for gas discharge lamps, the Support of such a method are formed.
  • FIG. 1 shows an inventive system for controlling a lighting means.
  • a system according to the invention comprises a control gear electronics 1, which may be, for example, an electronic ballast for gas discharge lamps.
  • This operating device 1 controls lighting means, such as lamps 2.
  • the operating device 1 is connected to a supply voltage 3, such as the mains voltage.
  • the operating device 1 has an interface 5, 6, wherein in the illustrated embodiment, a terminal 6 of the interface 5, 6 is connected to the neutral of the supply voltage 3.
  • a button or switch 4 is connected. By manual actuation of the switch or push-button 4, therefore, the voltage of the phase conductor L can be selectively applied to the terminal 5 of the interface 5, 6 of the operating device 1.
  • these complex functionalities can also be configured in the operating device.
  • a new functionality may be activated by a special button press with a defined duration or a defined sequence (sequence) of pushbutton operations (e.g., 'double click').
  • the operating device can be brought into a configuration mode by a special push-button operation, in which the following button actuations are interpreted as programming commands by the operating device.
  • one of the complex functionalities can be executed directly by a special keystroke or a defined sequence of push-button actuations. For example, it can be provided that a defined light scene is selected and activated by a keystroke with a predetermined duration.
  • a control system with a pushbutton connected to a supply voltage is made addressable.
  • the operating devices are designed such that at least a part of the control signals originating from the push button is interpreted as a logical address, in particular as an operating address.
  • the operating device can determine whether, especially in the case of several operating devices connected to a pushbutton, a currently incoming control command is intended for the present operating device.
  • a group-wise control can take place when several operating devices are combined to form a group with matching logical addresses.
  • Address assignment to an operating device can be achieved by simple coding, for example by inserting resistors on an externally accessible interface (see, for example, US Pat EP 1 492 391 A1 ), via firmware programming or via other wired or wireless interfaces.
  • the address assignment itself can be done by pressing the button.
  • a mode for storing light scenes can be activated. All addressed and connected operating devices are then dimmed to a minimum value.
  • the currently selected operating device can be dimmed to the desired light value of the light scene (light sequence).
  • the relevant operating device After completion of the selection (for example, a short keystroke), the relevant operating device then the store set light value as a value of the light scene (light sequence).
