Zusätzlich können weitere Steuergeräte 11, 13, 14 an die Busleitung 21 angeschlossen sein.Control unit 12 and the control unit 10 are part of a lighting system BA. In addition, further control devices 11, 13, 14 may be connected to the bus line 21.
Die verschiedenen Steuergeräte 11, 13, 14 werden auch als Aktuatoren bezeichnet und können verschiedene Sensoren wie beispielsweise Bewegungs- oder Helligkeitssensoren aber auch durch einen Benutzer steuerbare Aktuatoren wie beispielsweise Schalter, Taster oder auch berührungsempfindliche Bildschirme mit einem Benutzerinterface zur Beleuchtungssteuerung sein.The various controllers 11, 13, 14 are also referred to as actuators and can be various sensors such as motion or brightness sensors but also by a user controllable actuators such as switches, buttons or touch-sensitive screens with a user interface for lighting control.
Die Busleitung 21 ist als zweidrahtige Datenleitung ausgebildet, die als Steuerbefehl ein Digitalsignal mit einer niedrigen Gleichspannung überträgt . Über die Busleitung 21 wird beispielweise eine Datenübertragung gemäß DALI Standard übertragen. DieThe bus line 21 is designed as a two-wire data line, which transmits a control signal as a digital signal with a low DC voltage. For example, a data transmission according to the DALI standard is transmitted via the bus line 21. The
Schnittstellenschaltungen der Betriebsgeräte 1, 1', 1'', l'x, l'y , die zentrale Steuereinheit 12 und das Steuergerät 10 sind in der Lage, Steuerbefehle gemäß dem DALI Standard zu empfangen .Interface circuits of the operating devices 1, 1 ', 1'',l' x , l ' y , the central control unit 12 and the control unit 10 are capable of receiving control commands according to the DALI standard.
Anzumerken ist, dass die Datenübertragung der Steuerbefehle über die Busleitung 21 nicht drahtgebunden erfolgen muß, sondern sie kann beispielsweise drahtlos über eine Funkverbindung oder über eine Power Line Communication (PLC) über das Stromversorgungsnetz 20 übertragen werden.It should be noted that the data transmission of the control commands via the bus line 21 does not have to be wired, but it can be transmitted for example wirelessly via a radio link or via a power line communication (PLC) via the power grid 20.
Für die genannten Übertragungsvarianten existieren jeweils standardisierte Übertragungsverfahren analog zu dem DALI Standard für drahtgebundene Datenübertragung, wobei eine abgeänderte Datenübertragung über die gleiche Busleitung 21 erfolgen kann. Es ist aber auch möglich, dass die Busleitung 21 zur Übertragung von Tastersignalen ausgelegt ist. Die zentrale Steuereinheit 12 kann dabei ein Taster sein, der in einer einfachen Variante bei Betätigung die Busleitung 21 kurzschließt. Der Taster kann aber auch mit Netzspannung versorgt werden und die Busleitung ein mit Netzspannung versorgtes Tastersignal übertragen.Standardized transmission methods exist analogously to the DALI standard for wired data transmission for the transmission variants mentioned, whereby a modified data transmission can take place via the same bus line 21. But it is also possible that the bus line 21 is designed for the transmission of probe signals. The central control unit 12 may be a button which short-circuits the bus line 21 in a simple variant when actuated. However, the button can also be supplied with mains voltage and the bus line can transmit a button signal supplied with mains voltage.
Die zentrale Steuereinheit 12 kann über die Busleitung 21 einzelne oder mehrere Betriebsgeräte 1 von Leuchtmitteln steuern, wobei sie digitale Steuerbefehle empfangen und auch aussenden kann. Bei einem entsprechenden Ausschaltbefehl auf der Busleitung 21, welcher durch das Steuergerät 10 empfangen und ausgewertet wird, kann das Steuergerät 10 die angeschlossenen Betriebsgeräte 1 vom Netz trennen, um deren Leistungsaufnahme auf 0 zu senken. Es werden dadurch die Betriebsgeräte 1 vom Betriebszustand in einen Ruhezustand überführt . Das Steuergerät 10 überwacht weiterhin die Busleitung 21 auf Steuerbefehle und kann diese abspeichern.The central control unit 12 can control single or multiple operating devices 1 of lighting devices via the bus line 21, wherein they can receive and also send digital control commands.

Thereby, the operating devices 1 are transferred from the operating state to a standby state. The control unit 10 continues to monitor the bus line 21 to control commands and can save them.
Die Netzankopplung und Netztrennung der Betriebsgeräte 1 von der Netzversorgung erfolgt durch einen Netzunterbrecher 5.

Die Energieversorgung des Steuergerätes 10 und der Steuergeräte 11, 13, 14 und der zentralen Steuereinheit 12 kann über eine in das Steuergerät 10 integrierte Busversorgung erfolgen. Dabei kann die Busversorgung die Busleitung 21 speisen, indem eine Übertragung nach dem sogenannten , Active Low' Prinzip angewendet wird. Bei einer solchen Übertragung liegt dauerhaft ein Pegel von beispielsweise 12V an, solange keine Daten übertragen werden. Im Fall einer Datenübertragung wird der Pegel zum Übertragen eines Bit auf einen Pegel unter beispielsweise 2V gezogen wird.The power supply of the control unit 10 and the control units 11, 13, 14 and the central control unit 12 can be effected via a bus supply integrated in the control unit 10. The bus supply can feed the bus line 21 by applying a transmission according to the so-called 'active low' principle. In such a transmission is permanently a level of, for example, 12V, as long as no data is transmitted. In the case of data transmission, the level for transmitting a bit is pulled to a level below 2V, for example.
Auf diese Weise liegt eine dauerhafte Spannung auf der Busleitung 21 an und somit ist eine Versorgung der Steuergeräte 10 und 11 über die Busleitung 21 möglich.In this way, a permanent voltage is applied to the bus line 21 and thus a supply of the control units 10 and 11 via the bus line 21 is possible.
