Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Beleuchtungssystem der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, das sich problemlos verändern, insbesondere erweitern lässt und das unvorhersehbar wirkende Beleuchtungsereignisse ermöglicht.Based on this prior art, the present invention seeks to provide a lighting system of the type mentioned, which can be easily changed, in particular can be expanded and allows the unpredictable acting lighting events.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Beleuchtungssystem der eingangs erwähnten Art dadurch gelöst, dass
- sich das Beleuchtungssystem aus einer Vielzahl von Leuchtmodulen zusammensetzt, vorzugsweise mindestens sechs Leuchtmodulen,
- die Steuerung jedes Leuchtmoduls Steuerungsinformationen zumindest zur Aktivierung der Leuchtmittel verarbeitet und/oder generiert,
- die Steuerung jedes Leuchtmoduls mit der Steuerung mindestens eines benachbarten Leuchtmoduls über das Kommunikationssystem zumindest zur Übertragung von Steuerungsinformationen verbunden ist und
- das Kommunikationssystem zwischen sämtlichen Leuchtmodulen technisch übereinstimmend ausgeführt ist.
- the lighting system is composed of a multiplicity of lighting modules, preferably at least six lighting modules,
- the controller of each lighting module processes and / or generates control information at least for activating the lighting means,
- the controller of each lighting module is connected to the controller of at least one adjacent lighting module via the communication system at least for the transmission of control information, and
- the communication system between all the lighting modules is designed technically consistent.
Die Steuerung jedes einzelnen Leuchtmoduls verarbeitet und/oder generiert Steuerungsinformationen zumindest zur Aktivierung der Leuchtmittel. Da die Steuerung jedes Leuchtmoduls mit der Steuerung mindestens eines benachbarten Leuchtmoduls über das Kommunikationssystem verbunden ist, können sich die Steuerungsinformationen zur Aktivierung der Leuchtmittel in dem Beleuchtungssystem von einem Modul zu einer Vielzahl anderer Leuchtmodule ausbreiten. Die autarke Steuerung jedes Leuchtmoduls in Verbindung mit dem Kommunikationssystem eröffnet damit die Möglichkeit, interessante und überraschend wirkende Beleuchtungsszenarien hervorzurufen, insbesondere wenn zeitgleich verschiedene Leuchtmodule des Beleuchtungssystems unterschiedliche Steuerungsinformationen an benachbarte Leuchtmodule weitergeben. Im Interesse der Modularisierung des Beleuchtungssystems ist das Kommunikationssystem zwischen sämtlichen Leuchtmodulen technisch übereinstimmend ausgeführt, insbesondere weist das Kommunikationssystem übereinstimmende Schnittstellen zwischen sämtlichen Leuchtmodulen auf. Neben diesen standardisierten Datenschnittstellen weisen sämtliche Leuchtmodule vorzugsweise auch standardisierte Hardware-Schnittstellen auf, deren Lage und Abmessungen bezogen auf einen Bezugspunkt jedes Leuchtmoduls und deren Art der elektrischen Verbindung festgelegt sind. Das Kommuikationssystem verbindet die Steuerungen benachbarter Module, um Steuerungsinformationen zumindest zur Aktivierung von Leuchtmitteln zwischen benachbarten Modulen zu übertragen.The control of each individual lighting module processes and / or generates control information at least for activating the lighting means. Since the control of each lighting module is connected to the control of at least one adjacent lighting module via the communication system, the control information for activating the lighting means in the lighting system can propagate from one module to a plurality of other lighting modules. The autonomous control of each lighting module in conjunction with the communication system thus opens up the possibility of creating interesting and surprisingly effective lighting scenarios, in particular if at the same time different lighting modules of the lighting system pass on different control information to adjacent lighting modules. In the interest of modularization of the lighting system, the communication system between all the lighting modules is technically consistent, in particular, the communication system has matching interfaces between all lighting modules. In addition to these standardized data interfaces, all the lighting modules preferably also have standardized hardware interfaces whose position and dimensions are defined with reference to a reference point of each lighting module and their type of electrical connection. The communication system connects the controllers of adjacent modules to transmit control information at least to activate bulbs between adjacent modules.
Indem sich das Beleuchtungssystem nach dem Baustein- bzw. Baukastenprinzip aus standardisierten Leuchtmodulen zusammensetzt, kann das Beleuchtungssystem beliebig verändert werden, insbesondere problemlos an unterschiedliche Raum- und Größenverhältnisse angepasst werden. Insbesondere lassen sich die einzelnen Leuchtmodule in unterschiedlicher Art und Weise zu dem Beleuchtungssystem kombinieren. Der Aufbau des Beleuchtungssystems aus Leuchtmodulen reduziert die Herstellungskosten und vereinfacht die Montage sowie die Reparatur fehlerhafter Komponenten.By the lighting system composed of standardized lighting modules according to the module or modular principle, the lighting system can be arbitrarily changed, in particular be adapted to different space and size ratios easily. In particular, can be combine the individual lighting modules in different ways to the lighting system. The construction of the illumination system of lighting modules reduces the manufacturing costs and simplifies the installation and repair of faulty components.
Jedes Leuchtmodul weist mindestens ein, vorzugsweise jedoch mehrere Leuchtmittel auf. Als Leuchtmittel kommen sämtliche elektrischen Betriebsmittel in Betracht, die dazu dienen, Licht zu erzeugen. Neben den traditionellen elektrischen Leuchtmitteln kommen auch moderne Leuchtmittel, insbesondere Leuchtdioden zum Einsatz.Each light module has at least one, but preferably a plurality of bulbs. As lighting means are all electrical equipment into consideration, which serve to generate light. In addition to the traditional electric bulbs and modern bulbs, especially light emitting diodes are used.
Das Kommunikationssystem kann nicht nur zur Übertragung von Steuerungsinformationen für die Leuchtmittel benachbarter Leuchtmodule, sondern darüber hinaus zur Übertragung von Programmdateien für die Steuerung verwendet werden, sofern die Steuerung als programmierbare logische Schaltung ausgeführt ist. Die Steuerungen der einzelnen Leuchtmodule können vorzugsweise zusätzliche Steuerungsinformationen, insbesondere zur Dauer der Aktivierung und/oder zur Festlegung des Aktivierungszeitpunkts und/oder zum Zeitpunkt der Übertragung der Steuerungsinformationen verarbeiten und/oder generieren.The communication system can be used not only for the transmission of control information for the lamps of adjacent lighting modules, but also for the transmission of program files for the controller, if the controller is designed as a programmable logic circuit. The controls of the individual lighting modules may preferably process and / or generate additional control information, in particular for the duration of the activation and / or for determining the activation time and / or at the time of transmission of the control information.
Indem die vorgenannten Parameter für die einzelnen Leuchtmodule unterschiedlich gewählt werden, können höchst zufällig wirkende Anzeigeereignisse auf dem Beleuchtungssystem hervorgerufen werden. Die Steuerung kann die Verarbeitung und Generierung von Steuerungsinformationen darüber hinaus an den Eintritt von Bedingungen knüpfen, die erfüllt sein müssen, bevor eine Steuerungsinformation über das Kommunikationssystem an ein benachbartes Leuchtmodul übertragen wird.By choosing the aforementioned parameters differently for the individual lighting modules, extremely random-looking display events can be caused on the lighting system. The controller may also link the processing and generation of control information to the occurrence of conditions that must be met before transferring control information to a neighboring light module via the communication system.
Weitere interessante Beleuchtungseffekte des Beleuchtungssystems lassen sich erzielen, wenn die Steuerungen der einzelnen Leuchtmodule Steuerungsinformationen in Abhängigkeit von eingehenden Sensorsignalen erzeugen. Zu diesem Zweck weisen zumindest einzelne Leuchtmodule mindestens einen Sensor auf, der mit der dem Leuchtmodul zugeordneten Steuerung verbunden ist. Entweder werden sämtliche Leuchtmittel des Leuchtmoduls von einem Sensor oder jedes Leuchtmittel des Leuchtmoduls von einem separaten Sensor beeinflusst.Further interesting lighting effects of the lighting system can be achieved if the controls of the individual lighting modules generate control information as a function of incoming sensor signals. For this purpose, at least individual lighting modules have at least one sensor which is connected to the control associated with the lighting module. Either all light sources of the light module are influenced by a sensor or each light source of the light module by a separate sensor.
Als Sensoren kommen aktive bzw. passive Sensoren zur Erfassung physikalischer und/oder chemischer Eigenschaften, wie insbesondere die Temperatur, Licht, Feuchtigkeit, Schalldruck, Druck sowie die Zusammensetzung der Raumluft, in Betracht.Suitable sensors are active or passive sensors for detecting physical and / or chemical properties, in particular the temperature, light, moisture, sound pressure, pressure and the composition of the room air.
Die Steuerung jedes Leuchtmoduls kann mit der Steuerung mindestens eines benachbarten Leuchtmoduls auch über ein BusSystem, insbesondere einen Feld-Bus, als Kommunikationssystem verbunden werden. Diese Art der seriellen Vernetzung ist kostengünstig und zuverlässig. Die Feld-Bus-Vernetzung bietet darüber hinaus die einfache Möglichkeit von Erweiterungen des Beleuchtungssystems durch Hinzufügung weiterer Leuchtmodule, die an den seriellen Bus problemlos anschließbar sind.The control of each light module can be connected to the control of at least one adjacent light module via a bus system, in particular a field bus, as a communication system. This type of serial networking is cost effective and reliable. The field bus networking also offers the simple possibility of extensions to the lighting system by adding additional lighting modules that can be easily connected to the serial bus.
Sofern das Kommunikationssystem eine externe Schnittstelle aufweist, können an das Beleuchtungssystem externe Geräte, wie beispielsweise eine Audioquelle, angeschlossen oder das Beleuchtungssystem in Kommunikationsnetze, wie beispielsweise das Internet, eingebunden werden.If the communication system has an external interface, external devices such as an audio source can be connected to the lighting system or the lighting system can be integrated into communication networks such as the Internet.
Über das Kommunikationssystem können jedoch nicht nur Daten an benachbarte Beleuchtungsmodule übertragen werden, sondern darüber hinaus die Energieversorgung sichergestellt werden.However, not only data can be transmitted to adjacent lighting modules via the communication system, but also the power supply can be ensured.
In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung können einzelne oder sämtliche Leuchtmodule Aktoren aufweisen, die mit der dem Leuchtmodul zugeordneten Steuerung verbunden sind. Als Aktoren kommen beispielsweise Sender, Lautsprecher sowie insbesondere Antriebe in Betracht. Jedes Leuchtmodul kann über einen oder auch mehrere Aktoren verfügen, die im letzt genannten Fall jeweils einem Leuchtmittel zugeordnet sind. Beispielsweise kann jedem Leuchtmittel ein Antrieb zugeordnet sein, der das Leuchtmittel abhängig von Steuerungsinformationen und/oder eingehenden Sensorinformationen in unterschiedlichen Richtungen bewegt. Alternativ kann der Antrieb dem gesamten Leuchtmodul zugeordnet sein und dieses in unterschiedlichen Richtungen abhängig von eingehenden Steuerungsinformationen und/oder Sensorsignalen in unterschiedlichen Richtungen bewegen.In a further embodiment of the invention, individual or all lighting modules can have actuators which are connected to the control associated with the lighting module. As actuators, for example, transmitters, speakers and in particular drives come into consideration. Each light module can have one or more actuators, which are each associated with a light source in the latter case. For example, each lamp can be assigned a drive which moves the lamp in different directions depending on control information and / or incoming sensor information. Alternatively, the drive can be assigned to the entire lighting module and move it in different directions depending on incoming control information and / or sensor signals in different directions.
Die erfindungsgemäßen Leuchtmodule lassen sich in beliebiger Form in zwei- und dreidimensionalen Strukturen zu dem Beleuchtungssystem zusammensetzen. In einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Leuchtmodule in einer zweidimensionalen ebenen Struktur zusammengefasst, die sich als flaches Objekt vorteilhaft an Wänden von Gebäuden oder auch Tragkonstruktionen anbringen lässt. Die Form des zweidimensionalen flachen Objekts kann unregelmäßig begrenzt, jedoch auch symmetrisch sein und beispielsweise die Form eines Vierecks oder Kegelschnitts aufweisen. Eigenartige Konturen erhöhen den Aufmerksamkeitswert des Beleuchtungssystems, das vorteilhaft in öffentlichen Gebäuden zu Werbe- und Unterhaltungszwecken eingesetzt wird.The lighting modules according to the invention can be assembled in any form in two- and three-dimensional structures to the lighting system. In one embodiment of the invention, the lighting modules are combined in a two-dimensional planar structure, which can be attached as a flat object advantageous to walls of buildings or supporting structures. The shape of the two-dimensional flat object can be irregularly limited, but also symmetrical and, for example, have the shape of a quadrangle or conic. Peculiar contours increase the attention value of the lighting system, which is advantageously used in public buildings for advertising and entertainment purposes.
Die zweidimensionale flächige Struktur des Beleuchtungssystems kann in einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung auch gekrümmt sein, um die Aufsicht auf die Oberfläche des Beleuchtungssystems bei sehr großen zweidimensionalen Strukturen zu verbessern.In one embodiment of the invention, the two-dimensional planar structure of the illumination system can also be curved in order to improve the view of the surface of the illumination system in the case of very large two-dimensional structures.
Wenn die Leuchtmodule in einer dreidimensionalen Struktur zusammengefasst sind, weist diese eine dreidimensionale geometrische Form, z. B. die Form eines Prismas, eines Polyeders, einer Kugel oder eines Kegels auf. Die dreidimensionale Struktur erlaubt die Betrachtung der Leuchtmodule von mehreren Seiten des Beleuchtungssystems, das beispielsweise als Blickfang in einem Raum aufstellbar ist.If the lighting modules are combined in a three-dimensional structure, this has a three-dimensional geometric shape, eg. Example, the shape of a prism, a polyhedron, a sphere or a cone. The three-dimensional structure allows viewing of the lighting modules from multiple sides of the lighting system, which can be set up as an eye-catcher in a room, for example.
Aus ästhetischen Gründen sowie zur bestmöglichen Ausnutzung der Oberfläche der zwei- oder dreidimensionalen Struktur des Beleuchtungssystems weisen sämtliche Leuchtmodule vorzugsweise eine übereinstimmende Form auf. Die Form der einzelnen Leuchtmodule wird vorzugsweise so gewählt, dass die aneinander anliegenden Leuchtmodule eine geschlossene Oberfläche des Beleuchtungssystems bilden.For aesthetic reasons and for the best possible utilization of the surface of the two- or three-dimensional structure of the illumination system, all the illumination modules preferably have a matching shape. The shape of the individual lighting modules is preferably selected such that the adjacent lighting modules form a closed surface of the lighting system.
Um die Leuchtmodule in der zwei- oder dreidimensionalen Struktur miteinander zu verbinden, können diese an einer Tragkonstruktion befestigt sein. Als Tragkonstruktion für eine zweidimensionale Struktur kommt beispielsweise eine Platte und für eine dreidimensionale Struktur beispielsweise ein entsprechend geformter Rahmen oder Körper in Betracht.In order to connect the lighting modules in the two- or three-dimensional structure with each other, they can be attached to a support structure. As a support structure for a two-dimensional structure is for example a plate and for a three-dimensional structure, for example, a correspondingly shaped frame or body into consideration.
Eine separate Tragkonstruktion ist entbehrlich, wenn benachbarte Leuchtmodule untereinander lösbar miteinander verbunden sind. Als lösbare Verbindung kommen insbesondere Formschlussverbindungen zwischen benachbarten Leuchtmodulen in Betracht, wobei die Verbindungsteile der Formschlussverbindungen vorzugsweise zugleich die Hardware-Schnittstellen zwischen benachbarten Leuchtmodulen aufweisen. Die Erweiterung des Beleuchtungssystems ist daher nach Art eines Puzzles durch Zusammenfügen der Leuchtmodule mit ihren formschlüssigen Verbindungsteilen möglich.A separate support structure is unnecessary if adjacent lighting modules are detachably connected to each other. As a detachable connection in particular form-fitting connections between adjacent lighting modules come into consideration, wherein the connecting parts of the form-locking connections preferably at the same time have the hardware interfaces between adjacent lighting modules. The extension of the lighting system is therefore possible in the manner of a puzzle by joining the lighting modules with their positive connection parts.

Ein Beleuchtungssystem (1) setzt sich aus einer Vielzahl von mehr als sechs Leuchtmodulen (2), beispielsweise 20 - 10.000 Leuchtmodulen, nach dem Baukastenprinzip zusammen.
Ferner weist das Leuchtmodul (2) drei Sensoren (6) auf, die ebenfalls mit der dem Leuchtmodul (2) zugeordneten Steuerung (4) verbunden sind. Die Sensoren (6) erfassen physikalische Eigenschaften in der Umgebung des Leuchtmoduls (2), wobei beispielsweise der erste Sensor als Infrarotsensor ausgestaltet ist, der mit einem entsprechenden IR-Strahler im Abstand von dem Leuchtmodul kommuniziert, der zweite Sensor ein Mikrophon ist, der auf Schallereignisse in der Umgebung des Leuchtmoduls reagiert und der dritte Sensor die Umgebungshelligkeit berücksichtigt.Furthermore, the lighting module (2) has three sensors (6) which are likewise connected to the control (4) associated with the lighting module (2). The sensors (6) detect physical properties in the vicinity of the light module (2), wherein, for example, the first sensor is designed as an infrared sensor, which communicates with a corresponding IR radiator at a distance from the light module, the second sensor is a microphone, the on Sound events in the vicinity of the light module reacts and the third sensor takes into account the ambient brightness.
Die eingehenden Sensorsignale werden in der Steuerung (4) verarbeitet und führen abhängig von den Umgebungsbedingungen zu Reaktionen der Leuchtmittel (3). Des Weiteren kann die Steuerung (4) die Sensorsignale verarbeiten und die verarbeiteten Signale ganz oder teilweise über die Schnittstellen (5) an benachbarte Leuchtmodule (2) übertragen.The incoming sensor signals are processed in the controller (4) and, depending on the ambient conditions, lead to reactions of the lamps (3). Furthermore, the controller (4) can process the sensor signals and transmit the processed signals completely or partially via the interfaces (5) to adjacent lighting modules (2).

Figuren a, b veranschaulichen, wie die Leuchtmodule (25) nach
In dem erfindungsgemäßen Beleuchtungssystem (1) setzen sich aufgrund der jedem Leuchtmodul(2,9,19,25) zugeordneten autarken Steuerung in Verbindung mit dem ausschließlich unmittelbar benachbarte Leuchtmodule (2,9,19,25) einbeziehenden Kommunikationssystem(5,18,24,29) Steuerungsinformationen für die Leuchtmittel von einem Leuchtmodul zum anderen in einer kaum vorhersehbaren Art und Weise fort. Des Weiteren können die erfindungsgemäßen Beleuchtungssysteme (1) über den Leuchtmodulen (2,9,19,25) zugeordnete Sensoren(6) auf äußere Einflüsse, wie beispielsweise sich ändernde Raumhelligkeit, Raumluft oder vorbeigehende Personen, reagieren und diese Einflüsse in den Steuerungen (4) der Leuchtmodule in Reaktionen der Leuchtmittel (3) umsetzen, wie beispielsweise Ein-/Ausschalten, Verringern der Leuchthelligkeit sowie Veränderung der abgestrahlten Wellenlänge. Des Weiteren können die Sensorsignale über externe Schnittstellen mit dem Beleuchtungssystem (1) gekoppelte externe Geräte, wie beispielsweise Audioquellen, ansteuern. Denkbar wäre beispielsweise auch die Verbindung des Beleuchtungssystems (1) mit einem Antrieb, der die Position des gesamten Beleuchtungssystems (1) im Raum abhängig von eingehenden Sensorsignalen verändert.In the illumination system (1) according to the invention, based on the self-sufficient control associated with each light-emitting module (2, 9, 19, 25), the communication system (5, 18, 24) is used in conjunction with the lighting module (2, 9, 19, 25) which is exclusively adjacent to it , 29) continues control information for the bulbs from one light module to another in a barely predictable manner. Furthermore, the illumination systems (1) according to the invention via the light modules (2, 9, 19, 25) assigned sensors (6) to external influences, such as changing room brightness, room air or passing people, react and these influences in the controls (4 ) of the lighting modules in reactions of the bulbs (3) implement, such as switching on / off, reducing the luminous brightness and Change in radiated wavelength. Furthermore, the sensor signals via external interfaces with the lighting system (1) coupled external devices, such as audio sources, drive. It would also be conceivable, for example, to connect the lighting system (1) to a drive which changes the position of the entire lighting system (1) in the room as a function of incoming sensor signals.
