Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electronic ballast for electric lamps and a method for adjusting operating conditions of an electronic ballast.
  • electric lamps and especially fluorescent lamps are known. These electronic lamps and electronic ballasts required for their operation must be coordinated to ensure the proper functioning of the entire lighting system.
  • a major problem that arises in this case is that electronic ballasts, in particular those for discharge lamps, can only be used in combination with a single type of lamp or a few specific lamp types. Therefore, it is often necessary for a given range of particular lamps to provide a variety of matching electronic ballasts, and this number will further increase if, in addition, different application requirements, such as geometry, dimming, multi-lamp operation, etc., are taken into account.
  • ballast factor In known electronic ballasts in this regard by means of a miniature switch this ballast factor is changed in several stages, with only predefined levels are adjustable and still an adaptation to certain lamps is required. In addition, electronic ballasts are known in which this ballast factor can be adjusted by appropriate software. In all known electronic ballasts, however, a considerable number of different types of electronic ballasts is still required in order to operate the respective electric lamps, in particular fluorescent lamps.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide an electronic ballast and a method for adjusting operating conditions of an electronic ballast, with which a plurality of different electric lamps can be operated and the number of different types of electronic ballasts can be reduced.
  • An electronic ballast for electric lamps has an information element in which information about characteristic operating parameters and / or their setting for operation of the electronic ballast at least partially in coded form are included.
  • the information is contained partly in coded and partly in uncoded form in the information element.
  • the information element is arranged on an outer side of the electronic ballast.
  • the coded information of the information element can be accessed in a simple and fast manner.
  • the region of the information element which contains the information in encoded form is exchangeable and in particular is detachably connected to the electronic ballast.
  • a proper adjustment of the electronic ballast is effected exclusively by the information contained in the information element.
  • the information element is designed as a label, which has the characteristic operating parameters and / or their setting for an operation of the electronic ballast partly in coded and partly in uncoded form.
  • a relatively space-saving design for the information element can be provided.
  • the coding on the label is designed as a bar code and / or as a graphic coding.
  • the information contained in the information element can be read out in an advantageous manner by a separate unit.
  • a communication connection between the electronic ballast and the separate unit for reading the information from the information element is preferably wirelessly formed.
  • the separate unit can be designed as a barcode reader. In this regard, a relatively simple way to capture the coded information of the information element quickly and reliably.
  • a radio communication may also be provided.
  • Communication connection can also be provided a radio communication.
  • an RFID Radio Frequency Identification
  • transponder or transceiver systems can be provided.
  • the information contained in the information element comprises a first part of information provided for a plurality of types of electronic ballasts and having a second part of information ready for a particular type of electronic ballast is.
  • the second part of information is advantageously contained partly in coded and partly in uncoded form on the information element.
  • the first part of the information is already applied to the information element in the manufacture or in the production of electronic ballast, which in turn is applied to the electronic ballast, the second part of information with the corresponding encoded and uncoded information is formed and is applied to the information element only in the following. It can be provided that the first part of information is contained in uncoded form on the information element.
  • the separate unit is advantageously electrically connected to a programming and parameterization system.
  • This programming and parameterization system can have an electrical connection for data transmission for setting the electronic ballast to the electronic ballast.
  • the programming and parameterizing system can also be designed such that additional functions can be performed. In this regard, it may be provided that the programming and parameterizing system is also designed to record internal measurement data of the electronic ballast. Furthermore, the programming and parameterizing system can be designed to detect the operating time of the electronic ballast, the temperature of the electronic ballast or, for example, to detect fault information.
  • the electrical connection for data transmission between the programming and parameterization system and the electronic ballast can take place via a special data interface, which is arranged on the electronic ballast. This data interface can be designed as an electrical, optical or optically insulating data interface.
  • the information elements, in particular the labels can be provided by the manufacturer of the electronic ballast in the form of hardware, for example as self-adhesive paper labels, or in the form of electronic files, for example as image files, as software.
  • the manufacturer of electronic lamps can produce such labels themselves and apply them to the electronic ballast, in particular glue them, or directly print the electronic ballast with the corresponding information.
  • one or more specific parameters for example the ballast factor
  • the ballast factor it is necessary that the manufacturer of the electronic ballast ensures that in all possible operating parameter configurations, the system of electric lamp and electronic ballast is properly matched and all safety requirements and electromagnetic compatibility and the like are met. It is essential in this regard that the development-side design of an electronic ballast and a parameterization software control over a possible setting of an electronic ballast with the manufacturer of the electronic ballast and thus faulty parameterizations can be excluded in principle. It can be provided that suitable parameterizing devices are made available to a user by the manufacturer of the electronic ballast.
  • An electronic ballast according to the invention can also be newly parameterized or reprogrammed in a simple manner in which an existing information element is replaced, in particular an existing label is pasted over with a new label.
  • the programmable or parameterizable electronic ballasts according to the invention thus carry the potential for a substantial reduction of the previously known market variety of types of electronic ballasts, in this regard, a commitment to a particular type of electronic ballast, for example, to a specific ballast factor, an electric lamp with the corresponding electronic ballast to be set and operated, as late as possible.
  • a determination for example, in the warehouse of the manufacturer electronic ballast, in the warehouse of a customer of the manufacturer, in the manufacture of luminaires or even when the luminaire is fitted with the lamps.
  • a method according to the invention for setting operating conditions of an electronic ballast, in particular for electric lamps, with an information element information about characteristic operating parameters and / or their setting for operation of the electronic ballast are stored at least partially in coded form in the information element.
  • the information is advantageously provided partly in coded and partly in uncoded form.
  • the electronic ballast can be adjusted with required operating conditions and used for a plurality of different electric lamps, in particular fluorescent lamps.
  • the variety of types of electronic ballasts can be significantly reduced.
  • FIGURE 1 shows an electronic ballast according to the invention.
