Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for controlling and powering at least one electrical load, wherein the at least one electrical load is wired electrically connected to an energy source.
  • DE 10 2007 010 998 A1 describes a method and a device in which a consumer, namely an electric drive, is supplied with both energy and control signals via three separate lines, wherein the energy is supplied via two lines and the control signals in use a commercial three-phase cable via a third, separate line to be transmitted.
  • a consumer namely an electric drive
  • the control device is supplied separately with energy, and thus has a separate from the electrical • consumers power supply.
  • Lighting systems are also known in practice in which the power supply is wired and the control is wireless, for example by radio transmission, infrared or ultrasound transmission.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore a method for driving and power supply of at least one electrical load so to design that the control of the electrical load can be realized as inexpensively and insensitive to interference. Both the installation and the commissioning and control of individual electrical consumers should be as simple as possible.
  • This object is achieved in that electrical energy is transmitted by means of an AC voltage and control information for controlling the at least one electrical load by means of an angular modulation of the AC voltage used for the power supply to the electrical load.
  • a significant advantage in the transmission of control information through angular modulation of the AC voltage used for the power supply is that the same lines can be used to provide the electrical load with both power and control information. Separate control lines or complex bus systems are not required.
  • the electrical energy and the control information are transmitted on the same lines.
  • only a two-core unpolished connection line is required.

  • the Connection line can of course also be provided for a poled use and connected accordingly.
  • control information is transmitted by means of a frequency modulation of the alternating voltage used for the power supply. It is of course also conceivable to transmit the control information by means of a phase modulation of the AC voltage used for the power supply at a constant frequency of the AC voltage. As an alternative to the above-described possibility of an angular modulation of the alternating voltage used for the power supply, an amplitude modulation of this alternating voltage can also be used for the transmission of control information.
  • control information is transmitted in binary form, wherein individual binary values are represented and transmitted by a respective assigned, predetermined frequency of the alternating voltage used for the energy supply.
  • An immediate switching of the frequency of the alternating voltage used for the energy supply between two frequencies in the ratio 10:11 has proved to be particularly advantageous in the first experiments.
  • binary 1 may be represented and transmitted by a higher frequency and a binary 0 by a lower frequency of the AC voltage used for the power supply.

  • the electrical consumers are assigned a unique address and the control information in each case one of the controlled contain electrical address identifying information.
  • a plurality of electrical consumers can be combined to form a group with a common group address and the control information can contain a group address information identifying the group.
  • This group address information may be provided instead of or in addition to the address information of a single electrical load and transmitted with the control information.
  • each consumer could also belong to several groups.
  • each binary value is transmitted by several oscillations of the AC voltage.
  • a single binary control information that is to say a single bit, accordingly corresponds in each case to a plurality of successive pulses of the alternating voltage.
  • the number of vibrations transmitted for a binary value is inversely proportional to the respectively assigned frequency of the alternating voltage.
  • a constant length of each information unit or of each binary value for the control information can be ensured.
  • the frequency of the alternating voltage used for the power supply is at least five kHz, preferably at least ten kHz and particularly preferably more than 20 kHz.
  • an AC voltage having a frequency of more than 20 kHz is excluded that an impairment of the environment by frequency-dependent noise or the like.
  • the use of an alternating voltage with a frequency above the audible limit also has other advantages such as the possibility of using inexpensive commercial components.
  • the AC voltage used is only several hundred hertz or about one to five kHz, if required by the respective applications, or allow.
  • a conceivable variant could also be a bit-wise change in the frequency (frequency-width modulation) with the advantage of a significantly higher transferable data rate.
  • Power supply used alternating voltage compared to a cost-effective square-wave signal can be reduced. It is particularly important to avoid or suppress odd harmonics of the relevant frequencies for the AC voltage to the
  • the invention also relates to a system for controlling and supplying energy to at least one electrical consumer with at least one electrical consumer, which is electrically conductively connected to a power source by means of a cable.
  • the system has a device for generating an alternating voltage, which is arranged between the energy source and the at least one electrical load, that the system has a device for angular modulation of the alternating voltage and that the electrical load has a decoder, the angle modulation the AC voltage capture and convert into a control signal for controlling the electrical load.
  • a suitable decoder can in most cases be assembled inexpensively from commercially available electronic and electrical components. Conceivable, for example, would be a cheap microprocessor with or without additional commercially available components or an individually developed and programmed microprocessor.
  • the decoder has a universal asynchronous receiver and transmitter (UART).
  • UART universal asynchronous receiver and transmitter
  • a suitable UART can be emulated, for example, as part of a commercially available microcontroller, or microprocessor or software cost.
  • a reliable decoding of the control signals is possible in this way easily and inexpensively.
  • a constant clock for transmitting the control signals or a constant length of the transmitted control signals is not required when using a UART.
  • a clock can be determined from the transmitted data for each transmission.
  • the means for generating an alternating voltage comprises a harmonic filter.
  • a suitable harmonic filter in particular disturbing harmonics can be filtered out before transmission, which occur when using inexpensive rectangular signals for the generation of the AC voltage and can not be completely suppressed.
