Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an illumination system.
  • An illumination system in which a plurality of illumination fixtures are connected to a controller for controlling these illumination fixtures via a communication line has been conventionally provided.
  • a unique identification ID is assigned to each of the illumination fixtures, and according to a time schedule, a switching operation, or a sensor output or the like, a predetermined transmission signal containing the identification ID is transmitted from the controller to each illumination fixture.
  • a light source is turned on, turned off, or flashed according to a control command contained in the transmission signal.
  • a method of controlling the plurality of illumination fixtures in groups (refer to Patent document 1, for example) is more common than the above-mentioned method of controlling each illumination fixture.
  • Examples of a group setting method include a method of sequentially setting each of the installed illumination fixtures to a group one by one and a method of previously setting each of the illumination fixtures to a group and installing the illumination fixtures according to the set groups.
  • the illumination fixtures are sequentially set to a group one by one or the illumination fixtures are installed according to the previously set groups, as the number of the installed illumination fixture increases, time and effort also increase. Further, in the case where each of the illumination fixtures is directly set to the group, when a failure such as lamp exhaustion is transmitted to the controller through communication, the installation location of the illumination fixture having the failure cannot be determined based on only the identification ID.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide an illumination system capable of easily identifying the installation location of each illumination fixture while improving operability.
  • An illumination system includes a plurality of illumination fixtures each having an assigned unique identification sign, and a controller for controlling the plurality of illumination fixtures, and the controller transmits a transmission signal containing at least the identification sign assigned to each of the illumination fixtures and control information for causing each of the illumination fixtures to perform a predetermined operation to each of the illumination fixture, assigns a first address indicating an installation location to the illumination fixture that performs the predetermined operation based on the installation location of the illumination fixture, stores the first address in association of the identification sign of the illumination fixture and sets a correctively operated group based on the first address assigned to each of the illumination fixtures.
  • the controller has a data table in which the first addresses and the second addresses associated with the group are associated with each other, and in the case where there is a plurality of spaces where the plurality of illumination fixtures are arranged with the same layout, it is preferred that group setting of the spaces are performed collectively by using the data table.
  • An illumination system capable of easily identifying the installation location of each illumination fixture while improving operability can be provided.
  • the illumination system in the present embodiment includes a plurality of (three in Fig. 1 ) illumination fixtures 2 and a controller 1 for controlling these illumination fixture 2, and these illumination fixtures 2 are connected to the controller 1 via a communication line Ls.
  • Each of the illumination fixtures 2 has a transmission/reception part 21 for transmitting/receiving a transmission signal to/from the controller 1, a light source (for example, fluorescent lamp) 22, a control part 20 for controlling the transmission/reception part 21 and the light source 22 as well as performing general control and a storage part 23.
  • a unique identification ID (identification sign) is assigned to each of the illumination fixtures 2 to distinguish the illumination fixtures 2 from one another, and is stored in the storage part 23.
  • the identification ID may be stored in the storage part 23 at factory shipment or may be randomly set on boot-up of the system after installation and stored in the storage part 23.
  • the controller 1 has a transmission/reception part 11 for transmitting/receiving a transmission signal to/from each of the illumination fixtures 2, a setting part 12 for setting below-mentioned location addresses and group addresses, a control part 10 for controlling the transmission/reception part 11 and the setting part 12 as well as performing general control and a storage part 13.
  • the location address and the group address set by the setting part 12 are associated with the identification ID assigned to each of the illumination fixtures 2 and stored in the storage part 13. Details will be described later.
  • the floor is divided into four areas A to D, nine illumination fixtures 2 1 to 2 9 are arranged in the area A and three illumination fixtures 2 10 to 2 12 are arranged in the area B.
  • the four illumination fixtures 2 13 to 2 16 are arranged in the area C and the six illumination fixtures 2 17 to 2 22 are arranged in the area D.
  • numerals written in the illumination fixture 2 1 to 2 22 indicate location addresses of the illumination fixtures 2 1 to 222.
  • the group address 1 is set to the illumination fixtures 2 1 to 2 9 to which the location addresses 1 to 9 are set, respectively (that is, the illumination fixtures arranged in the area A) and the group address 2 is set to the illumination fixtures 2 10 to 2 12 to which the location addresses 10 to 12 are set, respectively (that is, the illumination fixtures arranged in the area B).
  • the group address 3 is set to the illumination fixtures 2 13 to 2 16 to which the location addresses 13 to 16 are set, respectively (that is, the illumination fixtures arranged in the area C) and the group address 4 is set to the illumination fixtures 2 17 to 2 22 to which the location addresses 17 to 22 are set, respectively (that is, the illumination fixtures arranged in the area D).
  • This data table is previously prepared based on an address map not shown and stored in the storage part 13, and in setting the group address to each illumination fixture 2, is read from the storage part 13.
  • the location addresses 1 to 22 are used as first addresses of the installation location of the illumination fixtures 2 and the group addresses 1 to 4 are used as second addresses associated with groups each operated collectively.
  • the controller 1 transmits the transmission signal containing at least the identification ID of an illumination fixture 2 1 and control information for causing the illumination fixture 2 1 to perform a predetermined operation (such as a flashing operation) to the illumination fixture 2 1 via the communication line Ls. Then, since the identification ID contained in the transmission signal transmitted from the controller 1 matches the identification ID assigned to the illumination fixture 2 1 , the illumination fixture 2 1 starts the flashing operation based on the control information contained in the transmission signal.
  • a predetermined operation such as a flashing operation
  • a setting person When confirming that the illumination fixture 2 1 is flashing, a setting person sets the location address 1 corresponding to the flashing illumination fixture 2 1 by operating the setting part 12 of the controller 1, and transmits the transmission signal containing the identification ID and the location address 1 of the illumination fixture 2 1 via the communication line Ls.
  • the location address 1 contained in the transmission signal is fetched and stored in the storage part 23.
  • the identification IDs contained in the transmission signal do not match the identification IDs of the illumination fixtures 2 2 to 2 22 , the location address 1 is not fetched.
  • the location address 1 of the illumination fixture 2 1 is stored in the storage part 13 in association with the identification ID.
  • the location addresses 2 to 22 are set to the illumination fixtures 2 2 to 2 22 , respectively, and the location addresses 2 to 22 are stored in the storage parts 23 of the illumination fixtures 2 2 to 2 22 , respectively, and are stored in the storage part 13 of the controller 1 in association with the respective identification IDs.
  • the group addresses can be sequentially set to the illumination fixtures 2 1 to 2 22 , for example, by operating the setting part 12. That is, since it is no need to individually set the group address to each of the illumination fixtures 2, the operating time can be reduced.
  • Fig. 3 shows another example of arrangement of the illumination fixtures 2 configuring the illumination system.
  • the illumination fixtures 2 1 to 2 22 are arranged on a plurality of (three in Fig. 3 ) floors with the same layout.
  • group setting of the plurality of floors can be performed all at once, thereby further reducing the operating time.
  • the controller 1 since the controller 1 performs assignment of the location addresses (first addresses) and group setting after installation of the illumination fixtures 2, as compared to the case where the illumination fixtures 2 previously set to the groups are installed, time and effort to select the illumination fixture 2 according to the installation location can be saved, thereby advantageously improving operability. Further, since the installation location of each of the illumination fixtures 2 can be identified based on the location address set to each of the illumination fixtures 2, for example, when a failure such as lamp exhaustion or overpower occurs, the illumination fixture 2 having the failure can be easily identified.
  • the illumination fixture 2 to be targeted may be operated so that it can be visually distinguished from the other illumination fixtures 2, for example, the illumination fixture 2 to be targeted may be turned on, or the illumination fixture 2 to be targeted may be turned off while the other illumination fixtures 2 are turned on.
  • the identification ID (identification sign) assigned to each of the illumination fixtures 2 may be a numeral, a sign such as alphabet or a combination of numeral and sign.
  • the location addresses and the group addresses are set by operating the setting part 12 of the controller 1 in the present embodiment, the addresses may be set by use of an infrared remote controller, for example.
  • the number of illumination fixtures 2 is not limited to that of the present embodiment and may be any plural number.
  • the location addresses and the group addresses are set in order from the illumination fixture 2 1 in the present embodiment, the addresses may be set in order from the illumination fixture 2 22 or may be set in a random order.
