Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to methods and devices by means of which lamps, such as LEDs, gas discharge lamps, high-pressure lamps, etc., can be controlled and / or regulated to predefined dimming levels (dimming levels).
  • lamps such as LEDs, gas discharge lamps, high-pressure lamps, etc.
  • EDG electronic ballasts
  • EMGs electronic ballasts
  • DALI Digital Addressable Light Interface
  • a digital signal is optionally available at such a digital control input (digital interface) or a signal generated by means of a button supplied with mains voltage can also be applied.
  • a user does not want to twist the digital periphery, he can Control the digital control input of the control gear by pressing a button.
  • the duration and the repetition rate of the button actuation by the connected control gear are evaluated as a signal for switching on / off or for dimming.
  • Examples of such an operating device to whose digital control input a signal originating from a button or switch supplied with mains voltage can also be applied, are for example in the German utility model DE 297 24 657 and in the patent application US2003 / 151917 A1 (Daughtry et al. ).
  • an electronic ballast (EVG) is known in which energy can be saved by daylight-dependent two-stage light control.
  • EMG electronic ballast
  • a dimming connection is provided, from which direct currents are taken, the size and dimension of which is for the control frequency and thus also for the lamp brightness.
  • the present invention now has the task of expanding the known button control.
  • the extension according to the invention consists in the fact that for the first time complex functionalities are programmed and / or called up in this way, as were previously only known in the field of digital or analog bus control.
  • a “complex” functionality is characterized in that, as in the known “simple” functionalities, a control signal is not replicated essentially promptly 1: 1. Examples of “simple” functionalities are switching on and off and specifying dimming values.
  • time-shifted processes can also be triggered, which are often programmed beforehand.
  • the control signal can also have the character of a selection signal by triggering one of several preprogrammed functionalities.
  • a method for configuring an operating device for illuminants is provided starting from a button or switch connected to a supply voltage.
  • the button or switch is operated manually in order to selectively apply the supply voltage as a control signal to a control input of the operating device.
  • the control signal is evaluated.
  • a functionality of the control gear is saved, changed or deleted. This functionality can thus be made available in a correspondingly changed scope when the operating device is operated in the future.
  • the stored functionality can then be called up, for example, by actuating the button or switch, or else by other wireless or wired interfaces.
  • the operating device can be set to a configuration mode by pressing the button or switch in advance. This configuration mode allows you to store, change or delete functionalities.
  • control gear can interpret further button or switch operations as editing functionalities.
  • the functionality can also be, for example, the assignment of an address to the operating device.
  • control signal itself can also be transmitted address-specifically, i.e. At least part of the control signal is interpreted by a connected operating device as a (logical) address.
  • a method for controlling an operating device for light sources starting from a button or switch connected to a supply voltage, such as a mains voltage.
  • a supply voltage such as a mains voltage.
  • Functionalities are programmed in advance in the control gear. These functionalities can then be called up by manual actuation of the button or switch, with the actuation of the button or switch selectively applying the supply voltage as a control signal to a control input of the operating device.
  • the functionalities mentioned can include, for example, the address assignment, the addressed control, the programming of functionalities, the programming of parameters for future controls and / or the calling of sequences (sequences).
  • a method for controlling an operating device for light sources is also provided, starting from a button or switch connected to a supply voltage, such as the mains voltage.
  • the control based on the button or switch is addressable, i.e. the operating device interprets at least part of the signal generated by the button or switch as a logical address.
  • the invention also relates to operating devices for lamps, in particular to an electronic ballast for gas discharge lamps, which Support of such a method are trained.
  • a system according to the invention has operating device electronics 1, which can be, for example, an electronic ballast for gas discharge lamps.
  • This operating device 1 controls lamps, such as lamps 2.
  • the operating device 1 is connected to a supply voltage 3, such as the mains voltage.
  • the operating device 1 has an interface 5, 6, a connection 6 of the interface 5, 6 being connected to the neutral conductor of the supply voltage 3 in the exemplary embodiment shown.
  • a button or switch 4 is connected between the second connection 5 of the interface and the phase conductor L. By manually operating the switch or button 4, the voltage of the phase conductor L can be selectively applied to the connection 5 of the interface 5, 6 of the operating device 1.
  • these complex functionalities can also be configured in the operating device.
  • a new functionality can be activated by pressing a button with a defined duration or a defined sequence (sequence) of button actuations (e.g. 'double click').
  • the operating device can be brought into a configuration mode by means of a special push button operation, in which the following push button operations are interpreted as programming commands by the operating device.
  • one of the complex functionalities can be carried out directly by pressing a special button or a defined sequence of button operations. For example, it can be provided that a defined light scene is selected and activated by pressing a button with a predetermined duration.
  • a control system is designed to be addressable with a push button connected to a supply voltage.
  • the operating devices are designed in such a way that at least some of the control signals originating from the button are interpreted as a logical address, in particular as an operating address. If a logical address is previously assigned to the operating device, for example, again by pressing a button or via wired or wireless interfaces the control gear can determine whether a control command currently being received is intended for the control gear in question, in particular in the case of a plurality of control gear connected to a button. This means that control can also take place in groups if several operating devices are combined to form a group with matching logical addresses.
  • the address assignment to an operating device can be done by a simple coding, for example by inserting resistors at an interface accessible from the outside (see for example EP 1 492 391 A1 ), via firmware programming or via other wired or wireless interfaces.
  • the address can of course also be assigned by pressing a button.
  • Operating devices can then be selected according to their address, in each case by briefly pressing a button, i.e. the control gear with the corresponding address dims to a maximum value, while all others remain dimmed to the minimum value.
  • the currently selected control gear can then be dimmed to the desired light value of the light scene (light sequence) by a long press of the button. After completing the selection (for example, a short keystroke), the operating device in question can then Save the set light value as a value of the light scene (light sequence).
  • the addressed operating devices can change the dimming speed between previously defined values for the dimming speed.
  • three different dimming speeds can be set in an operating device.
  • the first time you press the button the first dimming speed is set.
  • the second dimming speed is set.
  • the button When the button is pressed a third time, the third dimming speed is set.
  • a programmed operating device can select one of several predefined light sequences. In this case too, pressing the button is a selection signal.
  • different operating modes are stored in the operating device for illuminants.
  • pressing a button represents a selection signal for operating modes.
  • the operating modes can differ, for example, by the type and number of functions performed by the operating device. For example, by selecting the operating mode, it can be determined whether an output signal from a connected light sensor or motion sensor is evaluated or not.
  • a new group can be selected from a defined number of pre-defined or pre-programmed groups for all subsequent key presses. This means that only those control gear that then belongs to the selected group will react to the following button presses.
  • the first button signal is a selection signal for the different groups.
  • the connected equipment can switch to the addressing mode (address assignment mode).
  • the addressing mode address assignment mode
  • all connected devices are waiting to be selected (the selection can be made, for example, by manual manipulation directly on the device or by manipulation of the connected lamps, such as connecting and disconnecting the lamp).
  • a device selected in this way shows itself the lowest value of the address set to.
  • Another pushbutton operation can then take place, whereby the addressing of the first operating device is completed. All other, as yet unaddressed resources now know that the lowest address has already been assigned.
  • the next device which in turn is selected by manipulating the operating device itself or the connected illuminants, then assigns the next higher address to the address set.
  • the address assignment mode for the operating devices can be ended by a further defined key press (or a sequence).
  • a special push button operation or a special sequence of push button operations can represent a selection signal for the connected operating devices that these switch to the group assignment mode.
  • the prerequisite for this is that the operating devices already have a logical address.
  • the operating devices are then selected according to their address by a specific button actuation, that is to say the operating device with the address which corresponds, for example, to the number of long button actuations, shows a reaction (for example optically by dimming the connected lamps to maximum, while all other devices open their connected lamps Dim minimum).
  • the currently selected operating device is then assigned to the group that corresponds to the number of short button presses by a number of, for example, short button presses.
  • the corresponding operating device After canceling the selection mode by pressing the appropriate button, the corresponding operating device then saves the group assignment (corresponding to a group address). End by pressing the button again finally all connected operating devices enter the group assignment mode.
  • the connected control gear changes to a configuration mode.
  • this configuration mode parameters for future operations of the control gear can be set.
  • Different configuration modes are possible, such as saving light scenes, setting the switch-on level, setting minimum / maximum dimming values, etc.).
  • the operating devices are selected according to their address by pressing a defined button, i.e. the control gear with the address that corresponds to the number of short button presses, for example, shows a reaction (again, for example, optically by dimming the connected lamps).
  • the currently selected control gear is then dimmed to the desired light value by pressing the button for a long time.
  • this operating device saves the corresponding value as a scene value.
  • the operating devices end the configuration mode by pressing the button again.
