Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of operating devices in a lighting system having a DALI bus. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a so-called converter unit for use in a DALI system and a lighting system with a DALI bus and a corresponding converter unit.
  • DALI Digital Addressable Lighting Interface
  • It is a communication protocol for the digital control, in particular of light source control gear, which makes it possible to transmit commands to several devices either in groups or individually, e.g. to adjust or dim the light sources within a certain brightness range.
  • This DALI standard not only enables the digital control of the devices but also allows lamp operating devices to send feedback to a central control unit with regard to the operating state, whereby defects of individual devices can be determined very simply and quickly. Furthermore, other devices such. As sensors or the like. Be integrated into the system.
  • a lighting system based on the aforementioned DALI standard has a bus line, the so-called DALI bus, to which all devices are connected.
  • This DALI bus is a data line separate from the general power supply, via which commands are sent to the devices, which are mainly electronic ballasts.
  • An individual control of individual devices is made possible by the fact that each device is assigned a single, individual operating address, via which it can be controlled.
  • the DALI standard offers the possibility of assigning group addresses in order to control several operating devices in a uniform manner.
  • each of the usable devices must have an individual address, the number of devices that can be connected to the system is necessarily limited.
  • Another problem is that in lights with multiple operating devices or lights that a regular operating equipment and an emergency light device for operating in Have emergency situations, each operating device must be assigned a single address, which further reduces the number of connectable to the system lights.
  • converter are devices that are connected to the DALI bus and that are capable of receiving incoming DALI commands on the input side.
  • these converters are connected to a plurality of DALIcompatible devices, which are grouped together by the converter in the context of so-called broadcast commands, ie with signals or commands that are transmitted without address to all devices at the same time.
  • broadcast commands ie with signals or commands that are transmitted without address to all devices at the same time.
  • the use of such converters is particularly useful when all devices connected to the converter on the output side are to be driven in the same way, which makes sense in some applications, for example if the associated lights are within a common area.
  • a disadvantage of this solution is that in this way the output-side devices can actually basically only be controlled uniformly.
  • the solution according to the invention is based in turn on the idea of using the above-described converter or converter units to increase the number of devices to be used, which are designed for connection to a DALI bus and are connected to a DALI bus assigned to the converter unit. Operating address are accessible via the bus. On the output side are to the converter units other DALI-compatible devices connected, the converter unit in normal operation, these devices with broadcast commands, ie uniformly controls. However, according to the invention, at least temporarily, the converter unit can be placed in a so-called transparent operating mode or tunnel mode. In this transparent operating mode, the converter unit is able to individually address one of the devices connected on the output side under an individual address.
  • This individual address is relevant here exclusively for the communication between the converter unit and the selected device connected on the output side, but not for the communication of the converter unit via the actual DALI bus.
  • a central control unit connected to this DALI bus one of the devices connected on the output side to the converter unit according to the invention can then be addressed conventionally in the context of this transparent operating mode, namely under the DALI operating address of the converter unit.
  • feedback from the selected device in terms of its operating state via the converter unit are transmitted to the central control unit, ie, there are all control and query options that arise within the framework of the DALI standard, temporarily usable for this one device.
  • a converter unit for use in a lighting system, wherein the converter unit is provided for connection to a DALI bus and is configured to communicate via the DALI bus under a DALI operating address assigned to the converter unit and devices connected on the output side to the converter unit, which are likewise designed to communicate in accordance with the DALI standard, to jointly or uniformly control them.
  • the converter unit is designed in a transparent operating mode to individually address one or a selected one of the devices connected on the output side under an individual address.
  • the invention proposes a method for operating devices in an illumination system, wherein the illumination system has a DALI bus, to which a plurality of devices are connected, which are designed to be driven and communicate according to the DALI standard, wherein at least one the device is a converter unit which is designed to communicate via the DALI bus under a DALI operating address assigned to the converter unit and devices which are connected to the converter unit on the output side and which are likewise designed in accordance with the DALI bus Standard to communicate, to jointly or uniformly control, and wherein according to the invention, the converter unit responds individually in a transparent operating mode of one of the devices connected on the output side under an individual address.
  • the converter unit in the transparent mode of operation, is adapted to forward commands arriving at the input, but to replace the DALI operating address associated with the converter unit in the DALI commands with an operating address associated with the selected device connected on the output side.
  • the converter unit can be designed to forward feedback from the input-side device via the input-side DALI bus, but the operating address of the device contained in the feedback is assigned by the converter unit DALI operating address to replace.
  • the operating address of the converter unit is replaced by intended for the communication between converter unit and device operating address or it is carried out an exchange of addresses in the opposite direction.
  • a directly resulting from the invention further advantage also consists in the fact that it is no longer absolutely necessary that it is at the output side connected to the converter unit devices of the same type.
  • one of the devices can now also be a sensor, since the signals provided by this sensor can be interrogated at any time in the context of the transparent operating mode. The resulting control options and options for the design of the lighting system are therefore significantly increased.
  • the switching of the converter unit according to the invention into the transparent operating mode can take place in different ways.
  • the special commands available within the framework of the DALI standard in particular commands, by which reference is made to an entry in the so-called memory bank of the converter unit, are used.
  • this entry in the memory bank at the same time also identify the individual address, under which the converter unit with the in the context of transparent operating mode selected or selected output device communicates.
  • the leaving of the transparent operating mode can in turn preferably take place when a non-individually addressed DALI command, in particular a group-addressed command, is transmitted to the converter unit. This can then be interpreted by the converter unit to the effect that it is intended to change to the regular operating state in which the devices connected on the output side are again controlled uniformly with the aid of broadcast commands.
  • the addresses for communication between the converter unit and the output-side devices can be assigned within the scope of all options available for the DALI standard.
  • the DALI standard itself provides different variants for address assignment, whereby it is only necessary that each device is assigned an individual address. It may, for example, be random addresses assigned individual addresses. Furthermore, it is also possible in advance to assign addresses to the devices manually or by other programming operations.
  • FIG. 1 shows the structure of a lighting system according to the invention generally designated by the reference numeral 1, wherein a communication according to the DALI standard is provided.
  • the central component of the system 1 is therefore a bus line 2, the so-called DALI bus, to which the various subscribers of the system 1 are connected.
  • the lines for powering the various participants of the system 1 since the way the power supply for the inventive concept does not matter.
  • the illustrated lines are used in the present case, therefore, only the communication between the various devices.
  • the DALI standard is based on the so-called master-slave principle, that is, a unit of the system 1 is authorized to give on its own control commands to the bus line 2 to contact and control the various participants and possibly to request feedback.
  • a so-called DALI controller 100 that is to say a central control unit which gives control commands to the bus line 2. These are then transmitted to the various devices which are connected to the bus line 2.
  • These devices 10 and 110 can be very different devices, provided they are able to communicate according to the DALI standard.
  • the devices provided with the reference numeral 110 are electronic ballasts or in general operating devices for operating light sources.
  • These devices are thus integrated into luminaires and designed to implement input side incoming from the central control unit 100 DALI commands such that the light sources are adjusted in their brightness accordingly. It would also be conceivable beyond the connection of sensors via which an automated control of the lights can be done. These may be brightness or presence sensors. The signals provided by these sensors are interrogated by the central control unit 100 and then converted into corresponding commands for controlling the operating devices 110.
  • the lighting system 1 could, of course, be extended to the effect that the central control unit 100 receives information for controlling the lighting from a higher level again.
  • This is shown in FIG. 1 schematically by a further unit 200, which communicates with the control unit 100.
  • a further unit 200 which communicates with the control unit 100.
  • the communication according to the DALI standard he follows. Instead, any type of communication between two smart devices could be used.
  • DALI device which is connected to the bus line 2
  • the latter also receives commands arriving via the bus line 2 from the central control unit 100 in accordance with the DALI standard and accordingly has, like all other devices, which are connected to the bus 2, a her individually assigned DALI operating address. Commands which contain an individual operating address are thus processed exclusively by the corresponding device. In this way, the DALI standard offers the possibility to individually and individually control luminaires.
  • the converter unit 10 does not constitute an operating device, via which associated light sources are operated directly. Instead, their function is to control connected devices on the output side.
  • FIG. 1 Thus, in turn, several devices 20 1 to 20 4 and 30 are connected on the output side via a control line 12 to the converter unit 10 and form an independent group within the lighting system 1.
  • These devices 20 1 to 20 4 and 30 are again DALI compatible and accordingly able to receive incoming, now originating from the converter unit 10 DALI commands and implement accordingly.
  • the devices 20 1 to 20 4 are again, for example, lamp operating devices, whereas the device 30 represents a sensor.
  • the control of the devices 20 1 to 20 4 or 30 by the converter unit 10 is thus again with the aid of DALI commands, wherein it is initially provided that during a regular operation, a uniform control of this bone 20 1 to 20 4 or 30 by means of broadcast commands, that is, commands that do not contain address information takes place.
  • the operation of the converter unit 10 in the context of a regular operation is schematically in the FIGS. 2 and 3 shown.
  • the arrows drawn in the illumination system show how DALI commands transmitted by the central control unit 100 are passed on to control the devices 20 1 to 20 4 or 30 connected on the output side to the converter unit 10.
  • the converter unit 10 within the bus system 2 is assigned an individual operating address via which the converter unit 10 can be controlled by the central control unit 100. Meets with the corresponding address Afflicted DALI command at the converter unit 10, so this is forwarded by the converter unit 10 such that the output side connected devices are driven uniformly.
  • the input side of the converter unit 10 arriving, provided with the individual operating address DALI command is converted into an output side given to the control line 12 broadcast command, ie for all connected to the output side control line 12 devices 20 1 to 20 4 or 30 has validity. Schematically, this is in FIG.
  • a command value transmitted to the converter unit 10, which includes, for example, the information "50% brightness” is forwarded to the output-side devices 20 1 to 20 4 such that all of these lamp operating devices 20 1 to 20 4 contribute the associated light sources 50% of maximum brightness.
  • the sensor 30 is also connected to the output-side control line 12 does not interfere since an incoming brightness command from the sensor 30 is simply ignored, even though it is a broadcast command.
  • the converter unit 10 can also be operated in a transparent operating mode or a tunnel mode which, at least temporarily, is an individual operating mode Communication between the central control unit 100 and one of the devices 20 1 to 20 4 or 30 allows.
  • a transparent operating mode or a tunnel mode which, at least temporarily, is an individual operating mode Communication between the central control unit 100 and one of the devices 20 1 to 20 4 or 30 allows.
  • the manner provided for forwarding DALI commands in the context of this transparent operating mode is shown schematically in FIGS. 4 to 6 shown.
  • the first requirement for this transparent mode of operation is that the devices 20 1 to 20 4 or 30 connected to the output-side control line 12 also have an operating address. It is again an operating address according to the DALI standard, which is provided for communication between the converter unit 10 and the devices 20 1 to 20 4 and 30 via the line 12. These addresses can be assigned using all the options available in the DALI standard. In particular, an address assignment can be provided by a random number generator, or it is possible to assign corresponding addresses to the devices 20 1 to 20 4 or 30 in advance. These addresses of the devices 20 1 to 20 4 and 30, the converter unit 10 are known, but not the central control unit 100th
  • the converter unit 10 is sent a corresponding command to initiate the transparent operating mode.
  • This command also includes the information which device - in this case the device 20 1 - should be individually addressable.
  • a DALI special command would be conceivable for initiating the transparent operating mode, for example a command which refers to a corresponding entry in the memory bank of the converter unit 10.
  • the individual addresses of the devices 20 1 to 20 4 or 30, which are connected on the output side are located at different positions, to which reference can be made in each case by the DALI special command.
  • a DALI command arriving on the input side is again applied in a modified manner to the output-side data line 12, wherein now however, the address information contained in the first byte, which relates to the operating address of the converter unit 10 in the system 2, is replaced by the operating address of the device 20 1 in the system 12.
  • the second byte of the DALI command which contains the actual DALI command, remains unchanged. For example, in this case, a brightness control value would then be forwarded exclusively to the device 20 1 .
  • a command can also be transmitted which requests the addressed device to forward feedback with regard to the operating state or the like. If this is the case, in a next step, the device 20 1 will transmit a response in the form of a DALI command, which is then transmitted by the converter unit 10 as shown in FIG. 6 is forwarded to the input side bus 2.
  • the converter unit 10 As shown in FIG. 6 is forwarded to the input side bus 2.
  • the above-described mode of operation of the converter unit 10 in the context of the transparent operating mode therefore results in the selected device being individually addressable by the central control unit 100 during the transparent operating mode and, in the view of the central control unit 100, at the operating address of the converter.
  • Unit 10. During this transparent operating mode, all communication options available within the scope of the DALI standard can be used between the central control unit and the selected device. This has the consequence that now also the placement of a sensor 30 in the subsystem 12 is useful, since the signals provided by the sensor 30 available at any time by the central control unit 100 can be retrieved. All that is required for this is that the converter unit 10 is temporarily set to the transparent operating mode and the sensor 30 is selected as the individually addressable device. The subsequent communication between the central control unit 100 and sensor 30 takes place in the same way as would be the case if the sensor 30 were connected directly to the bus line 2.
  • Leaving the transparent operating mode can then take place, for example, by transmitting to the converter unit 10 a DALI command which does not relate to a single address.
  • a DALI command which does not relate to a single address.
  • the receipt of a group command from translator unit 10 could be interpreted as leaving the transparent mode of operation and again resuming communication in accordance with FIG FIGS. 2 and 3 should be done.
  • the expansion of the functionality of the converter unit 10 according to the invention thus creates a variety of possibilities for integrating devices into a lighting system based on the DALI standard.
  • the number of connected devices can be increased overall, although in spite of all there is the possibility to contact each of the devices - if desired or required - individually by the central control unit.
