  • dimming values For the instruction of control commands to dimmable operating devices of a lighting system many of the lighting systems used today use an example.
  • DALI or DSI standard standardized bus system by the u.a. external dimming values can be transmitted.
  • the control units required for driving the individual lamps internally convert these values into dimming values, for example using conversion tables, which represent the actual stages of the brightness control of the connected lamps and the possibly higher-resolution control values (eg 16-bit quantized control values) than the external ones Dimming values represent.
  • An operating device with a constant current source as a driver circuit for driving a multi-LED LED module is in DE 20 2004 006 292 U1 disclosed.
  • the driver circuit is connected to the LED module via a total of three channels, two of which serve to power the LED module with a pulse width modulated in dimming power supply voltage and designed as a digital interface third channel ("module detection channel") for unidirectional or bidirectional transmission digital operating parameters and / or calibration data between the LED module and driver circuit is used, so that the driver circuit can adjust to this. This allows the operation of different types of LED modules with the same driver circuit under the same operating conditions.
  • EP 1 135 005 A2 a controllable via a digital data interface circuit for dimming light sources of a lighting system is described which has suitable means for generating a dependent of a predetermined setpoint control signal for controlling the brightness of the light sources and means for adjusting the control signal to different light source types.
  • DE 203 12 298 U1 an electronic ballast for operating a gas discharge lamp is disclosed, which comprises a memory device in which are stored by a control device retrievable operating parameters.
  • the present invention is the object of proposing a flexible design of a dimmable control device for lighting.
  • An operating device for lighting means has an interface via which external dimming values can be supplied to the operating device.
  • the operating device converts these supplied external dimming values into internal dimming values on the basis of which the connected lamps are controlled.
  • the internal dimming values are at least as high and optionally higher than the external dimming values.
  • the operating device is designed so that the conversion of the external dimming values into the internal dimming values is programmable.

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.
  • the assignment ("mapping") of an internal dimming value to be controlled in the stationary state to an external dimming value can also be programmed.
  • the resolution of the internal dimming values need not be higher than that of the external dimming values.
  • the lighting means may be a LED module comprising a plurality of light emitting diodes, wherein the stationary assignment of an internal dimming value to an external dimming value compensates for manufacturing tolerances of the light emitting diode (s).
  • the operating device may have a flash memory in which the programmable conversion of the external dimming values is stored in internal dimming values.
  • a maximum dimming value limitation below 100% can be selectively defined, which can be selectively switched on and / or canceled by an external command.
  • the internal dimming values can be divided between the range 0% and the dimming value limitation so that there is a maximum resolution of dimming values in this range.
  • the control gear has several outputs for the control of lamps, whereby the internal dimming characteristics are individually programmable for each of these outputs.
  • the outputs control bulbs, LEDs, different colors.
  • the invention may provide for providing to the operating device value assignment tables for converting external dimming values into internal dimming values via a bus system with the aid of a communication protocol based on the DALI standard, in order to optimally trim the control unit to the light source or to adapt the shape of the dimming characteristic individually.
