Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for programming an operating device for lighting means, in particular for programming an electronic ballast for gas discharge lamps. Furthermore, the present invention relates to an interface for an operating device for lighting means, wherein the interface for receiving external control commands for the operation of the lighting means is provided.
  • the various commands transmitted to the individual operating devices by a central control unit within the framework of the DALI standard are processed in the operating devices according to a specific scheme or program.
  • This program the so-called firmware
  • the firmware is usually stored in a memory of the lamp operating device and responsible for the proper processing of the received commands.
  • the firmware ensures that the control commands received via an interface of the lamp operating device are transmitted in a suitable manner to a control unit of the lamp operating device in order to cause the control unit to control the light source in the desired manner.
  • the interface which in normal operation is primarily responsible for receiving the control commands for the operation of the luminous means, is also used for receiving the information via which a programming or updating of the firmware is carried out becomes.
  • the need for a separate programming input can be avoided here, which in particular also has the advantage that the operating device does not have to be disconnected from the general lighting system and then connected in a special way to a separate programming device.
  • the programming of the firmware can thus be carried out, for example, directly in a phase during which the lamp operating device is in operation.
  • programming in a standby state of the operating device or in the off state would also be conceivable.
  • the programming can then be used, for example, to change the instruction set which the interface uses for communication with the central control unit. It would also be possible to communicate with new subscribers or other devices, such as brightness sensors or the like.
  • the firmware by changing the firmware, the functionality of the operating device could also be changed by giving the device e.g. novel ways to control the corresponding light means are assigned.
  • the programming of the firmware takes place during the normal operation of the operating device.
  • the interface used for receiving this programming information can be - in the sense of the first aspect of the present invention - either the interface that is also designed to receive the external control commands for the operation of the light source, but it could also be a separate interface, wherein then the operating device has a further interface, which is additionally designed for the reception of control commands.
  • the various interfaces for a wireless reception or for connection to a bus line system which will be described in more detail later.
  • the lamp operating device 1 further comprises connections 2, 3 for connecting a light source LA, which is formed in the illustrated embodiment by a gas discharge lamp. Again, however, there is the possibility that the lamp operating device 1 also for operating other light sources, e.g. Incandescent or semiconductor light sources may be formed.
  • a light source LA which is formed in the illustrated embodiment by a gas discharge lamp.
  • the lamp operating device 1 also for operating other light sources, e.g. Incandescent or semiconductor light sources may be formed.
  • the operation of the interface 5 and the control unit 10 is controlled in particular by the firmware, which is stored within a memory 6.
  • This memory 6, which is part of the interface 5 in the illustrated first embodiment, thus contains a Program whose sequence determines the manner in which the data received via the bus connection 4 are further processed by the interface 5 and converted by the control unit 10 for activating the light source LA.
  • this firmware can be designed such that the lamp operating device 1 can be controlled by means of digital commands in accordance with the DALI standard.
  • corresponding programming information for updating the firmware can also be received via the interface 5, which is actually intended to receive the external control commands for the lamp operation.
  • the provided for the data transmission bus lines 15 and the power supply lines in the case of using the PLC technology are thus used if necessary, at the same time for transmitting the programming information for performing an update of the firmware, this information, for example, in turn from the central control unit 16 on the Bus lines 15 can be given.
  • a separate programming device 17 is connected to the bus line system 15 and the corresponding programming information is on the bus lines 15.
  • the solution according to the invention opens the possibility of the firmware of the lamp operating device 1 in easy way to update. This updating can in particular also take place when the lamp operating device 1 is activated or connected to the lighting system. A disconnection from the power supply and a temporary deactivation of the lamp operating device, however, according to the present invention is no longer mandatory.
  • Lamp operating device 1 is connected to a bus system 15 to receive from a (not shown) central control device control commands for the operation of the light means LA. Again, therefore, a first interface 7 is initially provided, which is connected to a bus input 4 of the lamp operating device 1.
  • a programming of the firmware stored in a memory 6 is now performed by a separate second interface 8, which is provided exclusively for the reception of the programming information for updating the firmware.
  • This second interface 8 could in turn be connected to corresponding data lines, in the illustrated embodiment, however, provided that the second interface 8 is designed for wireless communication.
  • a portable programming device 17 could now be used, which communicates via radio or infrared signals with this separate interface 8.
  • This variant also has the advantage that the lamp operating device 1 in the installed state and during normal operation or in a standby state can be reprogrammed without direct access to the device is required. This is particularly advantageous, for example, when the lamp operating device 1 is mounted at a location that is difficult to access, for example on a ceiling of a hall or the like.
  • the second interface which is provided for transmitting the firmware update, as a PLC interface.
  • the regular data transmission would take place via the dedicated data lines 15, whereas the power supply network would be used to transmit the new firmware.
  • the aforementioned advantages of a simple and comfortable update of the firmware are retained.
  • a single interface 9 is used both for receiving the external control commands and for receiving information intended for programming the firmware.
  • this third embodiment differs in that this interface 9 is designed exclusively for wireless communication.
  • the lamp operating device 1 does not have to be connected to the lines of a larger bus system in this case, but could be arranged as a single device at any point within a space to be illuminated.
  • a simple and convenient update of the firmware is made possible by the fact that, for example by means of a portable programming device 17, the corresponding information is transmitted.
  • the alternative solution could also be provided for this embodiment, the data transmission - as shown - to make wireless and perform the firmware update via a PLC interface.
  • the present invention thus opens up the possibility of updating the firmware of a lamp operating device in a simple manner. Compared to previously known solutions, the transmission of information can be carried out without great effort, in particular, it is no longer necessary to previously put the device in a special programming state or separately connect to a corresponding programmer.
