Definitions
- the invention relates to electronic control gear for discharge lamps and more particularly to a method for programming electronic control gear for discharge lamps.
- the electronic control gear is programmed via an on-off pattern, during which different parameters can be set over the duration of the switch-on.
- Tables are stored in the operating device, which are accessed via the switch-on times, and the parameters derived therefrom are stored as working parameters. These working parameters are e.g. the time during which the electronic control gear operates the lamp at rated power, the time at which the electronic control gear operates the lamp dimming and the dimming level. However, any other parameters are conceivable.
- the last on-off pattern is preferably a checksum to confirm the correct detection of the previous parameters.
- the electronic control gear preferably sends an answer in the form after receiving the on-off pattern an on-off pattern of the lamp. The power remains switched on all the time.
- This method according to the invention can be implemented in a standard operating device at almost no extra cost. Since these devices have a microcontroller is present, only a modified firmware must be implemented and created an internal timebase ⁇ to.
- FIG. 1 Diagram of a lamp power programmed into the electronic operating device over time in the case of street lighting as an application
- FIG. 2 Representation of the time sequence of the programming method according to the invention.
- the preferred embodiment of the invention relates to an electronic control gear that is designed for street lighting ⁇ tion.
- Such operating devices often come as a replacement for conventional ballasts in old In ⁇ workmanship practices for street illumination. In such a modernization, however, there is often the requirement to dim the street lights at night to save energy.
- old installations usually have no additional lines that could be used as programming or control lines.
- input, alternative methods Programmierme ⁇ for radio or powerline are usually too expensive and aufwen- dig. In such a case, the invention pro ⁇ programming method can be used to great advantage.
- a light output as shown in FIG. 1 is desirable.
- the lighting of a street train is switched on at 18:00, the operating devices operate the lamps with rated power, ie with 100% (block 71 of the curve).
- This state should now be maintained for 4h, after which the operating device should operate for 7h 45min the lamps with a lamp power P L of 30% (block 73 of the curve).
- the lamps should be operated at rated power again until they are switched off (block 77 of the curve).
- the parameters t 7i , t 73 and t 75 can be programmed in the electronic control gear .
- the ECG at the time ti by switched create the versor ⁇ supply voltage and at the time t 4 is turned off by switching off the supply voltage. All electronic operating devices of one or several streets are switched. The electronic operating ⁇ device should then automatically switch to the previously programmed time t 2 to a previously programmed dimming level and switch to Zeitpukt t 3 again to 100% power.
- Parameter t 75 (dimming level): 70%, 60%, 55%, 50%, 45%, 40%, 35%, 30%. This results therefore 8 different parameter values ⁇ .
- the duration of the third programming switch-on pulse defines parameter 75 (dimming level) as follows:
- the normalized duration is calculated as follows: 1 + remainder left over dividing the sum of the normalized durations of the first 3 switch-on pulses by 4.
- t 7 i 4h.
- the length of the evening lighting should be 4h.
- the first programming switch-on pulse t 6 i therefore has a length of 105 s.
- t 73 7h45.
- the length of the night lighting should be 7h45min.
- the second programming switch-on pulse t 3 6 therefore has a length of 120s.
- the control pulse therefore has a length of 60s
- an on-off pattern as shown in FIG. 2 is to be executed.
- the power supply is switched on for 105s, then for a sufficient time (the absolute length here is less critical) out ⁇ on, then turned on again for 120s, turned off for a sufficient time, then turned on again for 120s, turned off for a sufficient time, and finally turned on for 60s, then turned off again for a sufficient time. Thereafter, the power supply is turned on again for a certain response time ⁇ t ⁇ 2 to await the response of electronic ballasts.
- the on-off pattern has certain time ⁇ Liche sequences with certain time conditions and sequential conditions.
- the electronic control gear can evaluate the sequence and the duration of the on-off pattern and distinguish it from random power failure patterns.
- the answer can be evaluated visually, either by means of the power consumed by the supply or by the current or by the light, ie by visual inspection and a clock without additional equipment.
- the following information can be displayed, for example, about the transmission or non-transmission and about the duration of the response delay t 64 or the duration of the response pulse 65 of the ECG response: successful / invalid programming, feedback of a programming status (No. of the current dimming program ), or the time until a lamp change is necessary.
- the response delay is particularly well suited to parameters that differ for individual or a subset of electronic control gear.
- the response delay time t 6 4 is in the range 10min to 30min (this is necessary for high pressure lamps). It is subdivided into a cooling-down time (identical for all electronic control gear) and an answer-data time (for transmitting a parameter such as still usable lamp life).
- the response pulse duration t 6 5 of the response pulse 65 is in the range Is - 20min
- the electronic control unit can evaluate the program ⁇ ming pulse properly, it requires a time ⁇ basis.
- the internal time counter eg, the clock frequency of the microcontroller
- Mög ⁇ there are several possibilities Mög ⁇ .
- the electronic control gear can calibrate its time base based on the mains frequency of the power supply.
- the electronic control unit can also base its time on the basis of a specific Pro ⁇ (is also applied, for example, with a reference time pulse wel ⁇ cher in programming as a turn-on pulse) programming pattern to calibrate.
- the electronic Commissionge ⁇ recommends using at least one of these options to arrive at an appropriate time basis.
- the programmed-in times are not absolutes but normalized times which, for example, apply only to a specific day length.
- ratio components of the total switching- on time are programmed into the electronic operating device. This means that the electronic control gear adapts automatically to changing day and night times, so that it only (the difference for summer / winter operation, for example) must be programmed, and for different A ⁇ switching times always chooses the right duty cycles of the different dimming levels.
- the electronic control gear has a memory in which it stores the total on time t G when switching off in the morning. From the last full turn- ⁇ t G and the programmed Normeinschalt-
