Abstract

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Betriebsgerät (BG) für Leuchtmittel (LM), welches eine Schnittstelle (IF1) aufweist, über die dem Betriebsgerät (BG) externe Dimmwerte zuführbar sind. Das Betriebsgerät (BG) setzt diese zugeführten externen Dimmwerte in interne Dimmwerte um, auf deren Grundlage die Ansteuerung der angeschlossenen Leuchtmittel (LM) erfolgt. Dabei sind die internen Dimmwerte höher aufgelöst als die externen Dimmwerte. Darüber hinaus ist das Betriebsgerät (BG) erfindungsgemäß dazu ausgelegt, dass die Umsetzung der externen Dimmwerte in die internen Dimmwerte programmierbar ist.The present invention relates to an operating device (BG) for lighting means (LM), which has an interface (IF 1 ), via which the operating device (BG) external dimming values are supplied. The operating device (BG) converts these supplied external dimming values into internal dimming values, on the basis of which the control of the connected lamps (LM) takes place. The internal dimming values are higher than the external dimming values. In addition, according to the invention, the operating device (BG) is designed so that the conversion of the external dimming values into the internal dimming values can be programmed.

Das Betriebsgerät (BG) kann insbesondere auch dazu ausgelegt sein, dass die vorgenannte Umsetzung hinsichtlich ihrer Dynamik programmierbar ist. Dabei kann vorgesehen sein, dass programmierbar ist, durch welches zeitliche Übergangsverhalten (linearer, logarithmischer oder exponentieller Zeitverlauf etc.) ein einem externen Dimmwert zugeordneter interner Dimmwert erreicht wird.

Figure imgaf001
The operating device (BG) can in particular also be designed so that the aforementioned implementation can be programmed with regard to its dynamics. It can be provided that it is programmable, by which temporal transition behavior (linear, logarithmic or exponential time course, etc.) an internal dimming value assigned to an external dimming value is achieved.
