Definitions

  • Control unit for controlling a luminaire or lighting arrangement
  • the present invention relates to a control device which is provided for driving a lamp or lighting arrangement, which has at least two operating devices for operating light sources connected to the operating devices. These are, in particular, operating devices which are provided for driving different lamps or light sources.
  • a luminaire or lighting arrangement has different light sources. If, for example, a color temperature control is to be enabled, the associated luminaire generally has fluorescent lamps or high-pressure discharge lamps as the primary light source. In addition, however, differently colored LEDs are used to add a certain amount of color to the white light of the fluorescent lamp or high pressure discharge lamp. If the luminaire is now to be externally controllable, then there is the problem that separate operating devices are used to operate the different light sources, which must be controlled in a suitable manner. For example, it would be possible to control the individual operating devices according to the known DALI standard. For this purpose, however, it is necessary that each device has its own operating address and is connected to the bus line of the DALI system, which is obviously associated with a great deal of effort.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a novel solution for operating corresponding lights with different operating devices, in which the disadvantages described above are avoided.
  • the solution according to the invention is based on the idea of allocating a control unit to the luminaire or lighting arrangement. This can for example be arranged directly upstream of the luminaire or integrated into the luminaire.
  • the control unit according to the invention alone communicates via the bus with a central office responsible for the transmission of external control commands and is responsible for controlling the operating devices of the light or lighting arrangement on the basis of these external control commands.
  • a control device for driving a lamp or lighting arrangement wherein the lamp or lighting arrangement has at least two operating devices for operating light sources connected to the operating devices and further wherein the controller input terminals for receiving external control commands, output terminals for transmitting control gear commands to the Operating devices of the lamp or lighting arrangement and a control unit, which is adapted to generate based on the received external control commands, the operating device commands.
  • the solution according to the invention thus provides that the various operating devices of the luminaire or lighting arrangement need not each be controlled individually from the control center. Instead, it is sufficient to transmit a single corresponding command to the control unit, which then carries out a suitable control of the individual operating devices. As a result, the effort for driving the lamp is significantly reduced. Furthermore, the luminaire within a larger system only needs to be assigned a single operating address.
  • the external control commands received by the control device preferably include a brightness, a color location and / or a color temperature for the light to be emitted by the luminaire or lighting arrangement in their entirety.
  • the controller then makes an implementation of the external command such that the operating devices the associated lamps or lighting means with a suitable Intensity, so that ultimately the light is given off with the desired properties.
  • the external control commands received by the control unit can preferably also contain information about a portion of the light to be radiated directly and / or a portion of the light to be radiated indirectly, ie, for example, information about the ratio of direct to indirect light.
  • the external control commands received by the control unit may include the above-mentioned parameters brightness and / or color location and / or color temperature as a function of information about a portion of the light to be radiated directly and / or an indirect portion of the light to be radiated.
  • the control commands can therefore also contain information about the portion of the light of the luminaire or lighting arrangement which is emitted directly to the surface to be illuminated or via the portion which is emitted indirectly, usually via a ceiling.
  • these are information on the proportion of direct to indirect light, the brightness, the xy coordinates in the color space (ie the light color) and the color temperature.
  • corresponding sensors may be provided for the direct and the indirect component for this purpose.
  • control unit additionally has an input for receiving temperature information, wherein this temperature information is taken into account when generating the operating device commands.
  • the control of the operating devices in the sense of a regulation can be extended.
  • an input is additionally provided on the control device for receiving information relating to the light emitted by the luminaire or by the illumination arrangement, this information being taken into account when the operating device commands are generated by the control unit.
  • control unit also has a unit for logging the operating times of the operating devices or the light sources connected to the operating devices. This information can also be taken into account when generating the operating device commands. In this way, it is ensured that the desired light is permanently emitted from the luminaire in a reliable manner, although, as is known, the light output of individual light sources varies, in particular decreases, over the course of the operating time.
  • control of the individual operating devices by the control unit can be done in different ways.
  • a luminaire according to the present invention preferably has at least two operating devices for operating light sources and a control device according to the above explanations.
  • the operating devices may be, for example, an electronic ballast for operating a gas discharge lamp, in particular a fluorescent lamp. Operating devices for operating LEDs or LED arrangements can also be used.
  • FIG. 1 Shown is a generally provided with the reference numeral 1 luminaire, which has a lamp housing 2, on the underside of which is closed with a transparent pane 3, light is to be emitted. Shown in the present case, a box-shaped recessed ceiling light, the inventive concept, however, is transferable to lights of any kind.
  • a color temperature control should be possible.
  • the light emitted by the luminaire 1 is basically white, but has a desired color temperature due to the admixture of a small proportion of color.
  • the lamp 1 two primary or main light sources in the form of elongated fluorescent lamps 5, is emitted via the white light.
  • the activation of the fluorescent lamps 5 takes place with the aid of a suitable operating device 6, which in the present case is a so-called electronic ballast (ECG).
  • ECG electronic ballast
  • 1 color light sources are provided in the light, which are formed in the illustrated embodiment by LED modules 7. Strictly speaking, three LED modules are provided, which each emit light in the colors red, green and blue.
  • the intensities of the individual colors on the one hand, the overall intensity and, on the other hand, the color of the light mixed with the white light of the fluorescent lamps 5 can be adjusted so that the light emitted via the exit disk 3 finally has the desired color tone or the desired color temperature.
  • optical elements such as reflectors, diffusers and the like can be used in a known manner.
  • the light is emitted in the desired manner from the lamp 1, the associated operating devices, so the ballast 6 and the LED control gear 8, the associated light sources in a suitable manner and control tuned to each other.
  • This in turn requires that the operating devices 6 and 8 corresponding commands are transmitted.
  • control operating devices by the transmission of external control commands, according to the classical approach this would require, however, that both the ECG 6 and the LED operating devices 8 are connected to a bus line and are individually controlled via a separate operating address.
  • the associated expense can be achieved by the inventive solution, which is now based on FIG. 3 be explained clearly reduced.
  • a central component of the invention is a control unit 10, which is associated with the lamp 1 or integrated into the lamp 1.
  • the control unit 10 according to the invention makes it possible to easily control the luminaire 1 with its large number of operating devices without the need for individual control of the individual operating devices.
  • the control unit 10 first on input terminals 11, via which the control unit 10 external control commands can be transmitted.
  • these input terminals 11 will be terminals with the aid of which the controller 10 can be connected to a bus line, for example to a DALI bus or DMX bus.
  • the control unit 10 is connected to the general power supply network 50 as shown.
  • the control unit 10 alone now communicates with a control center which transmits the external control commands.
  • the control commands received via the input terminals 11 are then converted by the control unit 10 to drive the various operating devices of the lamp.
  • the luminaire controlled by the control device 10 initially has a first operating device in the form of an electronic ballast 20, as well as two further operating devices 21 and 22 for driving LEDs.
  • three more LED operating devices 23 to 25 are provided which each drive LED modules in the colors red, green and blue.
  • These three operating devices 23 to 25 are connected to a common output 15 of the control unit 10, whereas the other three operating devices 20 to 22 are individually connected to respective output terminals 12 to 14 of the control unit 10.
  • all operating devices 20 to 25 are furthermore connected to the power supply network 50.
  • the control of the various operating devices 20 to 25 by the control unit 10 can be carried out depending on the type of operating device. For example, it is possible to control the devices via broadcast commands according to the DALI standard. It would also be conceivable to use DALI addressing commands or DALI commands to special addresses that were previously assigned to the corresponding operating device. Another possibility for controlling operating devices, which is used in particular in devices for operating LEDs, consists in the output of PWM signals. It is essential here that the external control commands received by the control unit 10 are internally converted into operating device commands, which are then transmitted via the connections 12 to 14 to the operating devices 20 to 25.
  • control unit 10 has a control unit which, on the basis of the external control commands, which contain, for example, information relating to the desired brightness, the color locus and / or the color temperature of the light to be emitted by the luminaire, into setting values for the individual operating devices 20 to 25 implements.
  • the external control commands which contain, for example, information relating to the desired brightness, the color locus and / or the color temperature of the light to be emitted by the luminaire, into setting values for the individual operating devices 20 to 25 implements.
  • algorithms and / or reference tables can be used which have been stored in a memory of the controller 10.
  • the input-side external control commands can be converted into suitable control values for the operating devices very quickly.
  • control unit 10 may be coupled to a temperature sensor 30 or have corresponding input terminals 16, in which case the determined temperature values in determining or Creating the control values for the outputs are taken into account.
  • the control unit 10 may be coupled to a temperature sensor 30 or have corresponding input terminals 16, in which case the determined temperature values in determining or Creating the control values for the outputs are taken into account. This is advantageous in that for individual light sources, the light output is very much dependent on the present temperature. Taking into account the values obtained by the temperature sensor 30, a constant, uniform light output can be achieved independently of temperature fluctuations.
  • control unit 10 internally has a logging unit 17 (shown schematically), with the help of which the operating times of the operating devices or the light sources connected to the operating devices are logged.
  • logging unit 17 shown schematically
  • the light output of individual light sources changes over their lifetime, so that such effects can now also be taken into account with the aid of the logging unit 17.
  • control of the light sources can be expanded in the sense of a regulation.
  • a color or color temperature sensor 31 is provided, which is connected via terminals 18 to the control unit 10.
  • the task of the sensor 31 is to detect the light emitted by the lamp as a whole and to provide the control unit 10 with corresponding information. This can then use the information to determine whether there is a deviation from the desired light color or color temperature and if necessary make a correction in the control of the operating devices.
  • the various output connections 12 to 15 for the operating devices can be configurable depending on the type of operating device to be controlled, so that the number and type of light sources used can be reacted very flexibly.
  • input elements could be provided in the form of buttons or the like, with the aid of a lamp change is signaled. This information is taken into account, in particular, by the logging unit 17 in order, for example, to set lifetimes curves for the corresponding light source which have been taken into account in the determination of the control values back to an initial value.
  • a decisive advantage of the solution according to the invention is that the individual operating devices used need not be designed for complex communication with external control units. It is sufficient to use simple devices which respond appropriately to corresponding signals. This in turn means that an exchange of operating equipment in the event of damage or a defect can be easily done without a Programming the exchanged device would be required.
  • a luminaire with a corresponding control device according to the invention is accordingly much easier to put into operation.
  • control unit a single address, via which the device is individually addressable.
  • the individual operating devices for operating the light sources do not participate directly in the data traffic, which ultimately significantly simplifies the control of the light overall.
