Description

Zuweisung einer Betriebsadresse an ein busfähiges Betriebsgerät für Leuchtmittel Assignment of an operating address to a bus-compatible operating device for lamps
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich Zuweisung einer Betriebsadresse an ein Betriebsgerät für Leuchtmittel.The present invention relates to assigning an operating address to a lighting device.
Üblicherweise wird busfähigen und adressierbaren Betriebsgeräten für Leuchtmitteln, bspw. EVGs für Gasentladunglsampen oder Leuchtdioden, während der Produktion eine Ursprungsadresse zugewiesen. Zur logischen Gruppierung von Leuchtmitteln bei der Anwendung wird dann eine kürzere Betriebsadresse zugewiesen, über die das Leuchtmittel bzw. das zugehörige Betriebsgerät nach Installation über einen Bus ansprechbar sein soll.Usually, bus-capable and addressable operating devices for light sources, for example, electronic ballasts for gas discharge lamps or light-emitting diodes, are assigned an originating address during production. For the logical grouping of bulbs in the application then a shorter operating address is assigned, via which the light source or the associated operating device should be accessible after installation via a bus.
Aus der EP 149239 Al als Stand der Technik ist es bekannt, über einen an den Smart-Eingang eingesetzten Ohmschen Widerstand eine Adressvergabe durchzuführen.It is known from EP 149239 Al as state of the art to perform an address assignment via an ohmic resistor which is used at the smart input.
Bei dem DALI-Industriestandard muss jedes Betriebsgerät eine individuelle Adresse aufweisen. Während der Installation muss diese Adresse dann mit der physikalischen Position des Leuchtmittels in Bezug gesetzt werden.In the DALI industry standard, each operating device must have an individual address. During installation, this address must then be related to the physical position of the light source.
Jede Leuchte wird dann mit einer oder mehreren Steuereinrichtungen verbunden. Die Steuerparameter können aufweisen:Each luminaire is then connected to one or more control devices. The control parameters may include:
- Gruppenzuordnung,- group assignment,
- Fernsteuerungsnummern- Remote control numbers
- Dimmpegel- Dimming level
- Dimmgeschwindigkeit - Lichtszenen etc..- Dimming speed - light scenes etc ..
Der Installateur speichert individuell die Verbindungsparameter und die Steuerparameter für jede Leuchte, was sehr viele Mühe bedeutet.The installer individually stores the connection parameters and the control parameters for each luminaire, which means a great deal of effort.
Die Erfindung vereinfacht diesen Zuweisungsprozess .The invention simplifies this assignment process.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale der unabhängigen Ansprüche gelöst. Die abhängigen Ansprüche bilden den zentralen Gedanken der Erfindung vorteilhaft weiter.This object is solved by the features of the independent claims. The dependent claims further advantageously form the central idea of the invention.
Die Erfindung sieht vor ein Verfahren zur Zuweisung einer Betriebsadresse an ein Betriebsgerät für Leuchtmittel, bei dem die Betriebsadresse dem Betriebsgerät digital kodiert über eine Schnittstelle übermittelt wird, die zum Anschluss eines Lichtsensors konfiguriert ist. D.h., an derselben Schnittstelle kann ein unidirektionaler oder bidirektionaler Datenaustausch mit einem aktiven oder passiven Lichtsensor erfolgen, bzw. dieser mit elektrischer Energie versorgt werden.The invention provides a method for assigning an operating address to an operating device for lighting means in which the operating address is transmitted to the operating device digitally coded via an interface which is configured to connect a light sensor. That is, at the same interface, a unidirectional or bidirectional data exchange with an active or passive light sensor can be done, or they are supplied with electrical energy.
Die Zuweisung der Betriebsadresse kann dabei erfolgen, indem ein Benutzer mit einem Handgerät optische Digitalsignale an einen mit der Schnittstelle verbundnen Lichtsensor oder IR-Sensor übermittelt.The assignment of the operating address can be carried out by a user with a handheld optical digital signals transmitted to a connected to the interface light sensor or IR sensor.
Die Zuweisung der Betriebsadresse kann alternativ erfolgen, indem mit der Schnittstelle ein aktives Steckmodul („Plug") verbunden wird.The assignment of the operating address can alternatively be done by an active plug-in module ("plug") is connected to the interface.
Der Plug kann über die Schnittstelle von dem Betriebsgerät aus mit Spannung versorgt werden. Das Betriebsgerät kann eine Spannung zur Versorgung des Lichtsensors bzw. der Lichtsensorschnittstelle bereitstellen.The plug can be supplied with voltage via the interface from the operating device. The operating device may provide a voltage for supplying the light sensor or the light sensor interface.
Die Zuweisung der Betriebsadresse kann erfolgen, indem mit der Schnittstelle ein Programmiergerät verbunden wird.The assignment of the operating address can be done by connecting a programming device to the interface.
Das Betriebsgerät kann eine erfolgreiche Adresszuweisung und -speicherung optisch, akustisch und/oder über einen angeschlossenen Bus bestätigt.The operating device can confirm successful address assignment and storage visually, acoustically and / or via a connected bus.
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auch auf ein System mit einem Betriebsgerät mit Lichtsensorschnittstelle, das selektiv in einen Programmiermodus zur Durchführung eines Verfahrens nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche versetzbar ist.The invention also relates to a system having an operating device with light sensor interface, which can be selectively set into a programming mode for carrying out a method according to one of the preceding claims.
Bei der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, einem Betriebsgerät eine Betriebsadresse zuzuteilen, in dem eine entsprechende Information aus digital bspw. über Infrarot an eine Lichtsensor-Schnittstelle übertragen wird. Insbesondere kann dies ausgehend von einer Infrarot-Fernbedienung als Handgerät zu einem Infrarot-Empfänger des Betriebsgeräts erfolgen. Der Infrarot-Empfänger kann beispielsweise dem Betriebsgerät über einen Eingang für einen Tageslichtsensor oder Umgebungslichtsensor verbunden sein. Die Erfindung setzt also gemäss diesem Ausführungsbeispiel einen Infrarot-sensiblen Lichtsensor voraus. Die Übertragung erfolgt im nicht-sichtbaren Bereich (beispielsweise Infrarot) .In the invention, it is provided to assign an operating address to an operating address, in which a corresponding information is transmitted from digital, for example, via infrared to a light sensor interface. In particular, this can be done starting from an infrared remote control as a handheld device to an infrared receiver of the operating device. The infrared receiver may, for example, be connected to the operating device via an input for a daylight sensor or ambient light sensor. Thus, according to this embodiment, the invention requires an infrared-sensitive light sensor. The transmission takes place in the non-visible area (for example infrared).
Dabei ist es bei der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass die Adressübermittlung digital kodiert erfolgt. Dies kann wie gesagt über eine Art Infrarot-Fernbedienung und einem Infrarot-Sensor erfolgen. Alternativ kann ein , smart plug' , also eine Art Digitalspeicher oder ein Kontroller zur Übermittlung der Digitalinformation an dem Lichtsensor- Eingang angeschlossen werden.It is provided in the invention that the address transmission is digitally coded. This can be like said to be done via a kind of infrared remote control and an infrared sensor. Alternatively, a 'smart plug', that is a kind of digital memory or a controller for transmitting the digital information, can be connected to the light sensor input.
Es kann aber auch eine Übertragung im sichtbaren Bereich erfolgen. In diesem Fall kann eine entsprechende Information über einen Tageslichtsensor oder anderen Helligkeitssensor an eine Lichtsensor-Schnittstelle übertragen wird. Insbesondere kann dies ausgehend von einer Fernbedienung mit einem Laser oder einer LED als Sender zu einem Licht-Empfänger des Betriebsgeräts erfolgen. Der Licht-Empfänger kann beispielsweise dem Betriebsgerät über einen Eingang für einen Tageslichtsensor verbunden sein.But it can also be a transmission in the visible range. In this case, corresponding information can be transmitted via a daylight sensor or other brightness sensor to a light sensor interface. In particular, this can be done starting from a remote control with a laser or an LED as a transmitter to a light receiver of the operating device. The light receiver may, for example, be connected to the operating device via an input for a daylight sensor.
Alternativ kann anstelle des , smart plugs' auch ein Programmiergerät angeschlossen werden, durch dessen Betätigung direkt die Betriebsadresse dem Betriebsgerät in der Leuchte zugeteilt wird.Alternatively, instead of the 'smart plug', a programming device can also be connected, the actuation of which directly assigns the operating address to the operating device in the luminaire.
Fig. 1 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel gemäss der Erfindung.Fig. 1 shows an embodiment according to the invention.
Die Kurzadresse (Betriebsadresse) von jedem Betriebsgerät wird über eine Schnittstelle übertragen, die auch zum Anschluss eines Tageslichtsensors bzw. Umgebungslichtsensors konfiguriert ist. Bei angeschlossenem Lichtsensor kann das Betriebsgerät selektiv in einen Betriebsadressen-Zuweisungsmodus versetzt werden, in dem dem Lichtsensor digital kodierte Lichtsignale übermittelt werden, die das Betriebsgerät in diesem Modus als zugewiesene Betriebsadresse dekodiert und abspeichert.The short address (operating address) of each operating device is transmitted via an interface that is also configured to connect a daylight sensor or ambient light sensor. When the light sensor is connected, the operating device can be selectively placed in an operating address assignment mode in which the light sensor transmits digitally coded light signals be decoded and stored in this mode as the assigned operating address.
Dies stellt also ein Beispiel für eine digitale Übermittlung einer Betriebsadresse über einen Lichtsensor- Eingang eines Betriebsgeräts für Leuchtmittel dar.This therefore represents an example of a digital transmission of an operating address via a light sensor input of a control device for lighting means.
Die Abfolge von digitalen Lichtimpulsen folgt einem digitalen Frame (bspw. mit dem Aufbau PREAMBEL ADRESSDATEN - ÜBERPRÜFEN) . Der Frame ist derart aufgebaut, dass keine unbeabsichtigte Programmierung einer Adresse erfolgen kann.The sequence of digital light pulses follows a digital frame (for example, with the structure PREAMBLE ADDRESS DATA - CHECK). The frame is constructed in such a way that no unintentional programming of an address can take place.
Das Betriebsgerät kann wie gesagt in einen Programmier- oder Adresszuweisungmodus versetzt werden (manuell oder durch einen selektiven oder Broadcast-Busbefehl) . In diesem Modus wartet das Betriebsgerät dann auf den Empfang eines Daten-Frames .The operating device may, as stated, be placed in a programming or address assignment mode (manually or through a selective or broadcast bus command). In this mode, the operating device then waits for the receipt of a data frame.

Ein möglicher Installationsablauf ist bspw. der folgende:One possible installation procedure is, for example, the following:
(1) Lege für jede Leuchte in einem Installationsplan (Gebäudeplan) eine Betriebsadresse fest. (2) Programmiere wie oben beschrieben die zugehörigen Betriebsgeräte in den Leuchten.(1) Set an operation address for each lamp in an installation plan (floor plan). (2) Program the associated operating devices in the luminaires as described above.
(3) Sende alle weiteren Parameter bspw. über einen DALI-Bus unter Verwendung der Betriebsadresse. Dies stellt also ein Beispiel für eine digitale Übermittlung einer Betriebsadresse über einen Lichtsensor- Eingang eines Betriebsgeräts für Leuchtmittel dar.(3) Send all other parameters, for example via a DALI bus using the operating address. This therefore represents an example of a digital transmission of an operating address via a light sensor input of a control device for lighting means.
Der Lichtsensor kann sowohl ein aktiver Lichtsensor sein, der mit einer Spannung versorgt wird und ein vorzugsweise digitales Signal als Helligkeitsinformation aussendet, als auch ein passiver Lichtsensor wie beispielsweise ein LDR sein. Ein LDR ist ein lichtabhängiger Widerstand, der in Abhängigkeit der Helligkeit seinen Widerstandswert ändern kann. Diese Widerstandsänderung kann beispielsweise überwacht werden, indem eine Spannung an den LDR angelegt wird und dabei der sich durch den LDR einstellende Strom überwacht wird. Die Bereitstellung der Spannung für den LDR als auch die Überwachung des Stromes durch den LDR kann durch das Betriebsgerät erfolgen.The light sensor may be both an active light sensor which is supplied with a voltage and emits a preferably digital signal as brightness information, as well as a passive light sensor such as an LDR. An LDR is a light-dependent resistor that can change its resistance as a function of brightness. This resistance change can be monitored, for example, by applying a voltage to the LDR while monitoring the current set by the LDR. The supply of the voltage for the LDR as well as the monitoring of the current through the LDR can be done by the operating device.
Die Zuweisung der Betriebsadresse kann aber beispielsweise auch dadurch erfolgen, dass der jeweilige Lichtsensor für eine gewisse Zeit einmal oder mehrfach abgedunkelt oder angestrahlt wird. Die Abdunkelung des Lichtsensors kann erfasst werden und somit dem jeweiligen Betriebsgerät eine Betriebsadresse zugeordnet werden. Die Anstrahlung des Lichtsensors kann beispielsweise durch ein Anstrahlen mit einer Taschenlampe erfolgen. Diese Anstrahlung kann durch den Lichtsensor erfasst werden und somit dem jeweiligen Betriebsgerät eine Betriebsadresse zugeordnet werden.However, the assignment of the operating address can also take place, for example, in that the respective light sensor is darkened or illuminated once or several times for a certain time. The darkening of the light sensor can be detected and thus an operating address can be assigned to the respective operating device. The illumination of the light sensor can be done for example by illuminating with a flashlight. This radiation can be detected by the light sensor and thus the operating device associated with an operating address.
Die Zuweisung der Betriebsadresse kann somit durch eine manuelle Signalisierung wie beispielsweise ein Abdunkeln oder Anstrahlen erfolgen. In einer weiteren Variante kann ein IR-Sensor (als Infrarotsensor eine spezielle Form eines Lichtsensors) extern zur Adressvergabe genutzt werden:The assignment of the operating address can thus be done by a manual signaling such as a darkening or highlighting. In a further variant, an IR sensor (as infrared sensor a special form of a light sensor) can be used externally for address assignment:
Dabei kann ein IR-Sender/Empfänger (nachfolgend DALI-IR genannt) an den DALI-Bus angeschlossen werden, um so die Steuerung von DALI-Geräten über eine konventionelle oder programmierbare IR-Fernbedienung zu erlauben. Der DALI-IR kann mit diversen Leistungsmerkmalen ausgestattet werden wie z.B. Szenen -Sequenzer oder Gruppen-Kontroller. Anstelle des DALI-Bus kann auch jeder andere digitale Bus angewendet werden, wie beispielsweise DSI, DMX, Powerline- Carrier oder Bluetooth.An IR transmitter / receiver (hereafter referred to as DALI-IR) can be connected to the DALI bus to allow the control of DALI devices via a conventional or programmable IR remote control. The DALI-IR can be equipped with various features, such as Scene sequencer or group controller. Any other digital bus can be used instead of the DALI bus, such as DSI, DMX, Powerline Carrier or Bluetooth.
Der DALI-IR kann auch als Schnittstelle zwischen 2 DALI- Bussen agieren.The DALI-IR can also act as an interface between 2 DALI buses.
Der DALI-IR kann folgendermassen konfiguriert werden:The DALI-IR can be configured as follows:
1. Sensor konfiguriert („Teaching") die Fernbedienung: Der DALI-Befehl, welcher der Fernbedienung beigebracht wird, wird via DALI-Bus an den DALI-IR gesandt. Dieser sendet den Befehl an die lernende Fernbedienung welche sich im Lernmodus befindet.1. Sensor configured ("Teaching") the remote control: The DALI command, which is taught to the remote control, is sent via DALI bus to the DALI-IR, which sends the command to the learning remote which is in learning mode.
2. Fernbedienung Sensor (konfiguriert („Teaching") benötigt Konfigurations-Software) :2. Remote sensor (configured ("teaching") requires configuration software):
An der Fernbedienung wird eine Taste gedrückt, dies wird vom DALI IR registriert und meldet der Konfigurations- Software, dass ein IR-Signal detektiert wurde. Nun lassen sich die DALI-Befehle zuordnen und so in dem DALI-IR abspeichern.A key is pressed on the remote control, this is registered by the DALI IR and informs the configuration software that an IR signal has been detected. Let it go Assign the DALI commands and save them in the DALI-IR.
Der DALI-IR kann in bestehende Sensorgehäuse integriert werden, z.B. Lichtsensorgehäuse.The DALI-IR can be integrated into existing sensor housings, e.g. Light sensor housing.
Es kann beispielsweise auch eine Übertragung im sichtbaren Bereich erfolgen. In diesem Fall kann eine entsprechende Information ausgehend von einer Fernbedienung mit einem Laser oder einer LED als Sendemittel über einen Tageslichtsensor oder anderen Helligkeitssensor an eine Lichtsensor-Schnittstelle übertragen werden. Anstelle eines Handgeräts in Form einer Fernbedienung mit einem Laser oder einer LED als Sendeelement kann aber auch ein anderes Gerät zur Aussendung des Lichtes verwendet werden, beispielsweise ein Laserpointer oder ein Handy mit einem steuerbaren LED Licht.For example, it can also be a transmission in the visible range. In this case, a corresponding information can be transmitted from a remote control with a laser or an LED as a transmitting means via a daylight sensor or other brightness sensor to a light sensor interface. Instead of a handheld device in the form of a remote control with a laser or an LED as a transmitting element but also another device for emitting the light can be used, such as a laser pointer or a cell phone with a controllable LED light.
Weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel (siehe auch Figur 1) :Further exemplary embodiment (see also FIG. 1):
Betriebsgeräte, welche über den sog. DMX-Bus angesteuert werden, werden normalerweise über Drehschalter, DIP-Switch oder ähnliche mechanische Codierung adressiert. Erfindungsgemäss werden die Betriebsgeräte mit einem Funk- oder Infrarot-Empfänger oder Tranceiver ausgestattet. Über diesen Empfänger können die Betriebsgeräte adressiert werden. Dadurch ist eine berührungsfreie Adressierung möglich (z.B. in grosserer Höhe) und es sind keine zusätzlichen mechanischen Schnittstellen (Stecker) für die Adressierung notwendig. So ist es auch möglich, geschlossene Gehäuse zu konstruieren und dadurch höhere IP Schutzklassen zu erreichen. Die Geräte können also erfindungsgemäss nach der Installation berührungsfrei adressiert werden. So können geschlossene Gehäuse (bei IR mit Sichtfenster) konstruiert werden, da kein Steckeranschluss notwendig ist.Operating devices that are controlled via the so-called DMX bus are normally addressed via rotary switches, DIP switches or similar mechanical coding. According to the invention, the operating devices are equipped with a radio or infrared receiver or transceiver. The operating devices can be addressed via this receiver. As a result, non-contact addressing is possible (eg at a higher altitude) and no additional mechanical interfaces (connectors) are required for the addressing. So it is also possible to construct closed housing and thereby achieve higher IP protection classes. Thus, according to the invention, the devices can be addressed without contact after installation. Thus, closed housings can be constructed (with IR with viewing window), since no plug connection is necessary.
Nutzung mittels digitaler Signale zur Adressierung über den Sensor-Eingang :Use by means of digital signals for addressing via the sensor input:
Eine Spannungsversorgung an einer Schnittstelle für einen Lichtsensor kann gleichzeitig auch als serielles Interface genutzt werden. Damit kann ein aktiver Plug (Stecker) so betrieben werden, dass der Plug zunächst einmal über die Lichtsensor-Schnittstelle ausgehend von dem Betriebsgerät mit Spannung versorgt wird um einen Controller in dem Plug zu betreiben. Dieser Controller kann dann seinerseits eine vorprogrammierte (abgespeicherte Adresse) seriell auf den Lichtsensor-Eingang ausgeben, der dann vom Betriebsgerät interpretiert werden kann. Dass dabei ein genügend großer Puffer zur Spannungsversorgung auf dem Plug vorgesehen werden muss, ergibt sich aus der Notwendigkeit, dass dann ja beim Senden des Plugs die Versorgungsspannung immer bei logisch 0 vom Controller kurzgeschlossen wird um ein serielles Protokoll zu erzeugen.A power supply to an interface for a light sensor can also be used as a serial interface. Thus, an active plug (plug) can be operated so that the plug is initially supplied via the light sensor interface, starting from the operating device with voltage to operate a controller in the plug. This controller can then in turn output a preprogrammed (stored address) serially to the light sensor input, which can then be interpreted by the operating device. The fact that a sufficiently large buffer for the voltage supply must be provided on the plug results from the necessity that, when the plug is sent, the supply voltage is always short-circuited by the controller at logic 0 in order to generate a serial protocol.
Ein solchermaßen aktiver Plug, kann natürlich nicht nur fix programmierte Adressen seriell ausgeben, es lassen sich damit auch noch andere Konfigurationen und Daten übertragen. In Anlagen mit einer Schnittstelle für Taster oder Schalter kann so z.B. eine einfache Alternative zu den unterschiedlichen Tastendruckkodierungen bereit gestellt werden. Der Plug kann auch vom Anwender programmierbar (mit PC oder Laptop bspw. über USB) sein. Natürlich könnten ■ auch vorprogrammierte Plugs mit aufgedruckter Adresse dem Anwender zur Verfügung gestellt werden.Such an active plug-in, of course, can not only output permanently programmed addresses serially, it can also be used to transfer other configurations and data. In systems with an interface for pushbuttons or switches, for example, a simple alternative to the different keystroke codes can be provided. The plug can also be programmed by the user (with PC or laptop, for example via USB). ■ course could be made even preprogrammed Plugs with printed address to the user.
Anstelle eines Lichtsensors können genauso andere Sensoren wie beispielsweise Bewegungssensoren oder Geräuschsensoren angewendet werden. Die Betriebsgeräte, an die die entsprechenden Sensoren angeschlossen sind, können jeweils selektiv in einen Programmiermodus zur Durchführung eines Verfahrens zur Zuteilung einer Betriebsadresse an das Betriebsgerät in einer Leuchte versetzt werden. Dann wird dem jeweils eingesetzten Sensor ein entsprechendes Signal wie beispielsweise ein Geräusch (wie beispielsweise ein Pfeifton) angelegt, so dass dieser Sensor dies als Signalisierung zur Vergabe der Betriebsadresse erfassen kann.Instead of a light sensor as well as other sensors such as motion sensors or noise sensors can be applied. The operating devices, to which the corresponding sensors are connected, can each be selectively placed in a programming mode for carrying out a method for allocating an operating address to the operating device in a luminaire. Then the sensor used in each case a corresponding signal such as a noise (such as a whistling sound) is applied, so that this sensor can detect this as signaling for the assignment of the operating address.
Zusätzlich wäre es möglich, auch noch den eigentlichen Lichtsensor bestimmungsgemäß parallel mit dem aktiven Plug zu betreiben. In den entsprechenden Pausen des seriellenIn addition, it would be possible to operate the actual light sensor as intended in parallel with the active plug. In the appropriate breaks of the serial
Protokolls könnte der Lichtsensor wie gewohnt betrieben werden. Der etwaige Fehler der aus der Stromversorgung desProtocol, the light sensor could be operated as usual. The eventual error from the power supply of the
Plug entsteht, könnte ja leicht in der Software korrigiert werden, wenn ein Plug vorhanden ist. Plug is created, could be easily corrected in the software, if a plug is available.
