LEDs werden immer häufiger in den verschiedensten Bereichen der LEDs are becoming more common in a wide variety of areas
Beleuchtungstechnik eingesetzt. So können mit derartigen modernen Lichtquellen beispielsweise vielfältige Lichteffekte in einfacher Weise realisiert werden. Da LEDs in ihrer Helligkeit verhältnismäßig einfach verändert werden können, besteht die Möglichkeit, bei Verwendung verschiedenfarbiger Lichtquellen auf LED-Basis durch ein entsprechendes Einstellen der Intensität der jeweiligen Farbe ein Mischlicht in nahezu jedem beliebigem Farbton oder jeder beliebigen Farbtemperatur zu generieren. Im Vergleich zu klassischen Lichtquellen wie Glühlampen oder Leuchtstofflampen, bei denen Farbeffekte in erster Linie durch den Einsatz entsprechender Filter erzeugt werden konnten, kann dementsprechend in deutlich effektiverer Weise eine Lighting technology used. Thus, for example, diverse light effects can be realized in a simple manner with such modern light sources. Since LEDs can be relatively easily changed in their brightness, it is possible to generate a mixed light in almost any hue or any color temperature when using different color LED-based light sources by adjusting the intensity of the respective color. Compared to classical light sources such as incandescent or fluorescent lamps, in which color effects could be generated primarily by the use of appropriate filters, accordingly, in a much more effective manner
Lichtabgabe generiert werden. Da LEDs hinsichtlich ihrer Abmessungen auch deutlich kompakter realisiert werden können, besteht nun beispielsweise die Möglichkeit, eine Vielzahl von LEDs matrix artig oder dergleichen anzuordnen und durch entsprechendes aufeinander abgestimmtes Ansteuern der LEDs video-ähnliche Effekte zu erzielen. Light output to be generated. Since LEDs can be realized much more compact in terms of their dimensions, it is now possible, for example, a variety of LEDs matrix-like or the like to arrange and to achieve by corresponding coordinated driving the LEDs video-like effects.
Ein komfortables Erzeugen derartiger Beleuchtungseffekte ist insbesondere dann möglich, wenn die LEDs in ein größeres System eingebunden werden und diese hierbei zentral angesteuert werden. In diesem Zusammenhang sind aus dem Stand der Technik unterschiedlichste Möglichkeiten bekannt, größere derartige A comfortable generation of such lighting effects is particularly possible when the LEDs are integrated into a larger system and this be controlled centrally. In this context, the widest variety of possibilities known from the prior art, larger such
Beleuchtungssysteme zu bilden. In Figur 1 ist beispielhaft ein derartiges System schematisch gezeigt, wobei eine zentrale Kontrolleinheit bzw. Video Control Unit (VCU) 5 vorgesehen ist, die mit mehreren Kontrollgeräten bzw. Streaming/Segment Control Units (SCUs) 1 verbunden ist. Zusätzlich ist an jede SCU 1 mindestens ein LED-Strang 2 angeschlossen, der mehrere LEDs 3 aufweist. Die LEDs 3 sind hierbei über eine entsprechende Leitung miteinander verbunden, wodurch sich längliche LED- Stränge 2 ergeben. To form lighting systems. Such a system is shown schematically in FIG. 1, wherein a central control unit or video control unit (VCU) 5 is provided, which is connected to a plurality of control devices or streaming / segment control units (SCUs) 1. In addition, at least one LED string 2, which has a plurality of LEDs 3, is connected to each SCU 1. The LEDs 3 are connected to each other via a corresponding line, resulting in elongated LED strands 2.
Diese LED-Stränge 2 können dann beispielsweise parallel zueinander angeordnet werden, wodurch sich ein matrixartiger Aufbau aller LEDs 3 ergibt und es möglich wird video-ähnliche Effekte zu erzielen. Hierbei ist es dann aber auch erforderlich, dass die LEDs 3 jeweils einzeln gesteuert bzw. angesteuert werden. Dies erfolgt durch die SCUs 1 an die die LED-Stränge 2 und somit auch die LEDs 3 angeschlossen sind. Um dann auch über die gesamte matrixartige Anordnung video-ähnliche Effekte zu erreichen, ist es zusätzlich erforderlich, dass das Steuern bzw. Ansteuern der LEDs 3, welche an unterschiedliche SCUs 1 angeschlossen sind, aufeinander abgestimmt bzw. koordiniert wird. Hierfür ist dann die VCU 5 zuständig, die entsprechende These LED strands 2 can then be arranged, for example parallel to each other, resulting in a matrix-like structure of all LEDs 3 and it is possible to achieve video-like effects. In this case, it is also necessary that the LEDs 3 are each controlled or controlled individually. This is done by the SCUs 1 to which the LED strings 2 and thus also the LEDs 3 are connected. In order to achieve video-like effects over the entire matrix-like arrangement, it is additionally necessary that the control or activation of the LEDs 3, which are connected to different SCUs 1, be coordinated or coordinated with one another. For this purpose, the VCU 5 is responsible, the corresponding
Steuerbefehle an die SCUs 1 übermittelt bzw. die SCUs 1 entsprechend ansteuert bzw. steuert. Transmits control commands to the SCUs 1 or the SCUs 1 controls accordingly or controls.
Anstatt der parallelen und somit matrixartigen Anordnung der LED-Stränge 2 sind aber auch andere Anordnungen vorstellbar. So könnte beispielsweise vorgesehen sein, dass an jede SCU 1 ein LED-Strang 2 angeschlossen ist, wobei die LED-Stränge 2 dann nacheinander in einer langen Linie beispielsweise um ein Gebäude herum angeordnet sind. Auch hier ist es dann wünschenswert, die LEDs 3 einzeln zu steuern bzw. anzusteuern um entsprechende lichttechnische Effekte zu erzielen. Die SCUs 1 und die VCU 5 sind dabei unabhängig von der Anordnung über eine Videodatenleitung bzw. Datenleitung miteinander verbunden, wobei beispielsweise vorgesehen sein kann, dass jede SCU 1 einen Dateneingang und einen Datenausgang aufweist und somit eine erste SCU 1 direkt an die VCU 5 angeschlossen ist und alle weiteren SCUs 1 jeweils untereinander über die Datenleitung miteinander verbunden sind. Alternativ ist es aber auch denkbar, dass es sich bei der Datenleitung um eine Busleitung handelt, an die die SCUs 1 jeweils nur entsprechend angekoppelt werden. Instead of the parallel and thus matrix-like arrangement of the LED strands 2 but other arrangements are conceivable. Thus, for example, it could be provided that an LED string 2 is connected to each SCU 1, wherein the LED strands 2 are then arranged successively in a long line, for example around a building. Again, it is desirable then to individually control or control the LEDs 3 to achieve appropriate lighting effects. The SCUs 1 and the VCU 5 are connected to each other regardless of the arrangement via a video data line or data line, for example, it may be provided that each SCU 1 has a data input and a data output and thus a first SCU 1 connected directly to the VCU 5 is and all other SCUs 1 each interconnected via the data line are. Alternatively, however, it is also conceivable that the data line is a bus line to which the SCUs 1 are only respectively coupled accordingly.
Die Spannungsversorgung der SCUs 1 und der LED-Stränge 2 bzw. LEDs 3 erfolgt, wie in Figur 2 gezeigt, durch zusätzliche Spannungskonverter bzw. Treiber (Driver) 4, wobei jeder SCU 1 ein Spannungskonverter 4 zugeordnet ist. Die Spannungskonverter 4 sind hierbei an eine Versorgungsleitung mit 230V angeschlossen und konvertieren diese Spannung auf 24V, die der jeweiligen SCU 1 zur Verfügung gestellt wird. Die SCUs 1 wiederum konvertieren dann die 24V auf eine Spannung mit der die LEDs 3 entsprechend betrieben werden können, beispielsweise 5 V. Somit werden bei dem in Figuren 1 und 2 gezeigten System über die Datenleitung lediglich die entsprechenden Steuerinformationen für die LEDs 3 übermittelt. Die Strom bzw. The voltage supply of the SCUs 1 and the LED strands 2 or LEDs 3 takes place, as shown in Figure 2, by additional voltage converter or driver (driver) 4, wherein each SCU 1 is assigned a voltage converter 4. The voltage converters 4 are in this case connected to a supply line with 230V and convert this voltage to 24V, which is the respective SCU 1 available. The SCUs 1 in turn then convert the 24V to a voltage with which the LEDs 3 can be operated accordingly, for example 5 V. Thus, in the system shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, only the corresponding control information for the LEDs 3 is transmitted via the data line. The current or
Spannungsversorgung der SCUs 1 erfolgt über die jeweils zugeordneten Power supply of the SCUs 1 via the respectively assigned
Spannungskonverter 4, die an die Versorgungsleitung angeschlossen sind. Die von den Spannungskonvertern zur Verfügung gestellte Spannung wird durch die SCUs 1 dann auch zur Strom- bzw. Spannungsversorgung der LEDs 3 verwendet. Voltage converters 4 connected to the supply line. The voltage provided by the voltage converters is then also used by the SCUs 1 to supply power to the LEDs 3.
Bei dem in den Figuren 1 und 2 gezeigten System ist bisher vorgesehen, dass die SCUs 1 und Spannungskonverter 4 beispielsweise jeweils in einem entsprechend großen Gehäuse angeordnet sind, wobei dieses Gehäuse separat von den LED-Strängen 2 angeordnet ist, da aufgrund der Größe ausreichend Platz für das Gehäuse vorhanden sein muss. Dies führt jedoch beim Einsatz derartiger Systeme beispielsweise bei der Fassadenverkleidung häufig zu Platzproblemen, da bei Häuserfassaden zumeist nicht ausreichend Platz für derartige Gehäuse ist. In the system shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, it has heretofore been provided that the SCUs 1 and voltage converters 4 are each arranged, for example, in a correspondingly large housing, this housing being arranged separately from the LED strands 2, since there is sufficient space due to the size must be present for the housing. However, this often leads to the use of such systems, for example in the facade cladding to space problems, since in house facades usually not enough space for such housing.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt dementsprechend die Aufgabe zugrunde, dass in den Figuren 1 und 2 gezeigte System derart weiterzuentwickeln, dass der Platzbedarf reduziert wird und somit auch ein Einsatz bei geringem Platzangebot möglich wird. Die Aufgabe wird durch ein System zur Akzentbeleuchtung oder zur Erzeugung von Leuchteffekten gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst.

Vorzugsweise sind die Boxen mit den Kontrollgeräten und Spannungskonvertern lösbar an dem Profil befestigt, insbesondere durch Rast- bzw. Klemmelemente. According to the invention, a space-saving arrangement of the control devices and voltage converters is thus provided on an elongate profile on which or in which run the LED strings, supply line and data line. Advantageously, it is provided that the control devices can each control each LED independently of the others.

Zusätzlich kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Boxen mit den Kontrollgeräten und Spannungskonvertern seitlich am länglichen Profil angeordnet sind, wobei die Kontrollgeräte und Spannungskonverter und die Boxen mit den Kontrollgeräten und Spannungskonvertern kleinbauend ausgestaltet sein können.

Vorteilhafterweise kann dann auch vorgesehen sein, dass das längliche Profil im Querschnitt U-förmig ausgebildet ist, wobei die Versorgungsleitung und Datenleitung innerhalb der U-Form angeordnet sind. Zusätzlich kann an der offenen Seite der U- Form des länglichen Profils eine längliche Schiene befestigt sein, auf der die LED- Stränge angeordnet sind. Die längliche Schiene kann hierbei lösbar an dem länglichen Profil befestigt sein, insbesondere durch Rast- bzw. Klemmelement. Advantageously, it can then also be provided that the elongated profile is U-shaped in cross-section, wherein the supply line and data line are arranged within the U-shape. Additionally, an elongate rail may be secured to the open side of the U-shape of the elongate profile on which the LED strands are disposed. The elongate rail can in this case be detachably fastened to the elongate profile, in particular by latching or clamping element.
Vorzugsweise ist die längliche Schiene im Querschnitt H-förmig ausgebildet, wobei auf der Seite auf der die LED-Stränge angeordnet sind ein optisches Element zur Lichtbeeinflussung vorgesehen ist. Preferably, the elongated rail is H-shaped in cross section, wherein on the side on which the LED strands are arranged, an optical element for influencing the light is provided.
Desweiteren kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Kontrollgeräte dazu ausgebildet sind die von den Spannungskonvertern zur Verfügung gestellte Spannung in eine Spannung zu konvertieren, die sich zur Spannungs Versorgung der LEDs eignet, wobei es sich bei der von der Versorgungsleitung zur Verfügung gestellten Spannung um 230V handeln kann und die Spannungskonverter die Spannung auf 24V konvertieren und die Kontrollgeräte die von den Spannungskonvertern zur Verfügung gestellte Spannung von 24V auf eine Spannung von 5V konvertieren.

Die vorliegende Erfindung ermöglicht somit durch die Befestigung von Boxen, in denen die Kontrollgeräte und Spannungskonverter angeordnet sind, seitlich an einem länglichem U-förmigen Profil, in dem bzw. auf dem die LED-Stränge angeordnet sind, ein System zur Akzentbeleuchtung oder zur Erzeugung von Leuchteffekten, das besonders wenig Platz benötigt und somit beispielsweise auch bei Häuserfassaden eingesetzt werden kann, bei denen wenig Platz zur Verfügung steht. Nachfolgend soll die Erfindung anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen und den beiliegenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert werden. Es zeigen: The present invention thus allows by attaching boxes in which the control devices and voltage converters are arranged laterally on an elongated U-shaped profile in which or on which the LED strands are arranged, a system for accent lighting or to create lighting effects, which requires very little space and thus can be used, for example, in house facades, where little space is available. The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Show it:

Figur 5 das in Figur 4 gezeigte System in zusammengebautem Zustand. Wie bereits zuvor erläutert, zeigen die Figuren 1 und 2 ein bereits aus dem Stand der Technik bekanntes System zur Akzentbeleuchtung oder zur Erzeugung von Figure 5 shows the system shown in Figure 4 in the assembled state. As already explained above, FIGS. 1 and 2 show a system already known from the prior art for accent lighting or for generating
Leuchteffekten, bei dem eine zentrale Kontrolleinheit bzw. Video Control Unit (VCU) 5 vorgesehen ist, welche mit mehreren Kontrollgeräten bzw. Streaming/Segment Control Unit (SCUs) 1 verbunden ist, wobei an jede SCU 1 mindestens ein LED- Strang 2 angeschlossen ist. Jeder LED-Strang 2 weist hierbei mehrere LEDs 3 auf, die über eine entsprechende Leitung miteinander verbunden sind. Die SCUs 1 dienen hierbei zur Steuerung und Spannungs Versorgung der LEDs 3, wobei wie aus Figur 2 hervorgeht, jeder SCU 1 ein Spannungskonverter bzw. Treiber (Driver) 4 zugeordnet ist, der an eine entsprechende Versorgungsleitung mit 230V angeschlossen ist. Der Spannungskonverter 4 konvertiert die Spannung von 230V auf 24V und stellt diese Spannung der jeweiligen SCU 1 zur Verfügung. Diese ist dann dazu ausgebildet, die 24V in eine Spannung zu konvertieren, die sich zur Spannungsversorgung der LEDs eignet, beispielsweise 5V. Die SCUs 1 versorgen somit die LEDs 3 mit einer Spannung von 5 V und können gleichzeitig auch jede LED 3 entsprechen steuern bzw. ansteuern. Lighting effects, in which a central control unit or video control unit (VCU) 5 is provided, which is connected to a plurality of control devices or streaming / segment control unit (SCUs) 1, wherein at least one LED strand 2 is connected to each SCU 1 , Each LED strand 2 in this case has a plurality of LEDs 3, which are connected to each other via a corresponding line. The SCUs 1 serve to control and supply voltage to the LEDs 3, wherein, as shown in FIG. 2, each SCU 1 is assigned a voltage converter or driver 4, which is connected to a corresponding supply line with 230V. The voltage converter 4 converts the voltage from 230V to 24V and provides this voltage to the respective SCU 1. This is then designed to convert the 24V into a voltage suitable for powering the LEDs, for example 5V. The SCUs 1 thus supply the LEDs 3 with a voltage of 5 V and can simultaneously control and / or control each LED 3 as well.
Um eine aufeinander abgestimmte Steuerung aller an die verschiedenen SCUs 1 angeschlossenen LEDs 3 zu ermöglichen, ist dann desweiteren vorgesehen, dass die VCU 5 den SCUs 1 entsprechende Steuerbefehle übermittelt bzw. die SCUs 1 entsprechend ansteuert bzw. steuert. Somit ergibt sich dann beispielsweise bei einer parallelen und somit matrixartigen Anordnung der LED-Stränge 2 die Möglichkeit video-ähnliche Effekte mit Hilfe des Systems darzustellen. In order to enable a coordinated control of all LEDs 3 connected to the different SCUs 1, it is further provided that the VCU 5 transmits control commands corresponding to the SCUs 1 or controls or controls the SCUs 1 accordingly. Thus, for example, in the case of a parallel and thus matrix-like arrangement of the LED strands 2, it is possible to display video-like effects with the aid of the system.
Wie bereits zuvor erläutert, ist nun beim Stand der Technik vorgesehen, das jede SCU 1 zusammen mit dem entsprechenden Spannungskonverter 4 in einem großen Gehäuse angeordnet ist, das allerdings aufgrund der Größe separat angeordnet werden muss. Um einen Einsatz des Systems auch bei beengten Verhältnissen zu ermöglichen, ist erfindungsgemäß nunmehr vorgesehen, dass die LED-Stränge 2, Versorgungsleitung und Datenleitung auf bzw. in einem länglichem Profil 11 angeordnet sind und jede SCU 1 zusammen mit dem jeweiligem Spannungskonverter 4 jeweils in einer an dem Profil 11 befestigten Box 12 angeordnet ist. Dieser Aufbau ist genauer in den Figuren 3, 4 und 5 dargestellt, wobei zu beachten ist, dass in den Figuren 3-5 jeweils nur ein LED-Strang 2 und eine Box 12 gezeigt ist. As previously explained, it is now provided in the prior art that each SCU 1 is arranged together with the corresponding voltage converter 4 in a large housing, which, however, must be arranged separately due to the size. In order to enable use of the system even in cramped conditions, is now provided according to the invention that the LED strands 2, supply line and data line are arranged on or in an elongated profile 11 and each SCU 1 together with the respective voltage converter 4 in each case arranged on the profile 11 box 12 is arranged. This structure is shown in greater detail in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, it being noted that only one LED strand 2 and one box 12 are shown in FIGS. 3-5.
Diesen Figuren kann dann das längliche im Querschnitt U- förmige Profil 11 entnommen werden, wobei in diesem länglichen Profil 11 die Videodatenleitung bzw. Datenleitung und die Versorgungsleitung angeordnet sind. Die offene Seite des U- förmigen länglichen Profils 11 ist mit einer länglichen im Querschnitt H-förmigen Schiene 16 verschlossen, wobei diese längliche Schiene 16 durch entsprechende Rastbzw. Klemmelemente an dem länglichen Profil 11 befestigt ist. Auf der länglichen Schiene 16 sind dann entsprechend die LED-Stränge 2 mit den LEDs 3 angeordnet. Die LED-Stränge 2 sind somit auf der dem U- förmigen länglichem Profil 11 gegenüberliegenden Seite der H-förmigen länglichen Schiene 16 angeordnet. These figures can then be taken from the elongated cross-sectionally U-shaped profile 11, wherein in this elongated profile 11, the video data line or data line and the supply line are arranged. The open side of the U-shaped elongated profile 11 is closed with an elongated cross-sectionally H-shaped rail 16, said elongated rail 16 by appropriate Rastbzw. Clamping elements is attached to the elongated profile 11. On the elongated rail 16 then the LED strands 2 are arranged with the LEDs 3 accordingly. The LED strands 2 are thus arranged on the U-shaped elongate profile 11 opposite side of the H-shaped elongated rail 16.
Zusätzlich ist an der länglichen Schiene 16 noch ein optisches Element 17 vorgesehen, dass auf der Seite, auf der die LED Stränge 2 angeordnet sind, befestigt ist und somit dass von den LEDs 3 abgegebene Licht entsprechend beeinflusst. In addition, an optical element 17 is provided on the elongate rail 16 that is fixed on the side on which the LED strands 2 are arranged, and thus that the light emitted by the LEDs 3 is influenced accordingly.
Wie bereits erläutert, weist das erfindungsgemäße System auch mehrere Boxen 12 auf, in denen jeweils eine SCU 1 und der zugehörige Spannungskonverter 4 angeordnet sind. As already explained, the system according to the invention also has a plurality of boxes 12, in each of which a SCU 1 and the associated voltage converter 4 are arranged.
Diese Boxen 12 werden dann wie insbesondere auch aus den Figuren 4 und 5 hervorgeht, seitlich an dem länglichen U-förmigen Profil 11 befestigt, wobei hierfür Rast- und Klemmelemente vorgesehen sind, die ein lösbares Befestigen der Boxen 12 an dem länglichen Profil 11 ermöglichen. These boxes 12 are then as shown in particular from Figures 4 and 5, laterally attached to the elongated U-shaped profile 11, for this purpose locking and clamping elements are provided, which allow releasably securing the boxes 12 to the elongated profile 11.
Die Boxen 12 bestehen hierbei aus einem Gehäuseunterteil 13, in dem sowohl jeweils die SCU 1 als auch der Spannungskonverter 4 angeordnet sind. Die Gehäuseunterteile 13 werden hierbei von einem Gehäuseoberteil 14 und von seitlichen Deckeln 15 verschlossen, wie dies auch den Figuren 3-5 entnommen werden kann. Bei der in den Figuren 3-5 gezeigten Ausführungsform ist dabei vorgesehen, dass die Rast-bzw. Klemmelemente der Boxen 12 an dem Gehäuseunterteil 13 angeordnet sind, wodurch ermöglicht wird, dass bei der Montage zuerst das Gehäuseunterteil 13 seitlich an dem länglichen U-förmigen Profil 11 befestigt wird und dann anschließend nach anbringen der SCUs 1 und Spannungskonverter 4 innerhalb des Gehäuseunterteils 13 mit Hilfe des Gehäuseoberteils 14 und den Deckeln 15 die Box 12 leicht verschlossen werden kann, wobei das Gehäuseunterteil 13 entsprechende Befestigungsvorrichtungen für das Gehäuseoberteil 14 und die seitlichen Deckel 15 aufweist. Hierbei ist auch vorgesehen, dass sowohl die SCUs 1 und Spannungskonverter 4 als auch die Boxen 12 kleinbauend ausgestaltet sind. The boxes 12 in this case consist of a lower housing part 13, in which both the SCU 1 and the voltage converter 4 are arranged. The housing lower parts 13 are in this case closed by an upper housing part 14 and side covers 15, as can also be seen in Figures 3-5. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3-5, it is provided that the latching resp. Clamping elements of the boxes 12 are arranged on the lower housing part 13, which is made possible that during mounting first the lower housing part 13 is laterally attached to the elongated U-shaped profile 11 and then subsequently after attaching the SCUs 1 and voltage converter 4 within the housing base 13 with Help the housing top 14 and the lids 15, the box 12 can be easily closed, wherein the lower housing part 13 corresponding fastening devices for the upper housing part 14 and the side cover 15 has. It is also provided that both the SCUs 1 and voltage converter 4 and the boxes 12 are made physically small.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung des Systems zur Akzentbeleuchtung oder zur Erzeugung von Leuchteffekten ist es dementsprechend nun mehr möglich, dass dieses System auch beispielsweise bei Häuserfassaden eingesetzt werden kann, bei denen nur wenig Platz zur Verfügung steht. Dies wird insbesondere dadurch erreicht, dass relativ kleine Boxen 12 jeweils direkt seitlich an dem länglichem U- förmigen Profil 11, in dem bzw. auf dem die LED-Stränge 2, Versorgungsleitung und The inventive design of the system for accent lighting or for the production of lighting effects, it is therefore now more possible that This system can also be used for example in house facades, where only little space is available. This is achieved in particular by the fact that relatively small boxes 12 each directly on the side of the elongated U-shaped profile 11, in which or on which the LED strands 2, supply line and
Datenleitung verlaufen, lösbar befestigt sind. Somit ist es lediglich erforderlich, dass in dem Bereich in dem die Boxen 12 jeweils an dem länglichen U-förmigen Profil 11 befestigt sind etwas Platz zur Verfügung zu stellen. Jedoch ist es nicht mehr nötig, die relativ großen aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Gehäuse mit den SCUs 1 und Spannungskonvertern 4 separat anzuordnen und einen entsprechenden großen Platz jeweils für jedes dieser Gehäuse zur Verfügung zu stellen. Data line run, are releasably secured. Thus, it is only necessary that in the area in which the boxes 12 are each attached to the elongated U-shaped profile 11 to provide some space available. However, it is no longer necessary to dispose the relatively large prior art housings with the SCUs 1 and voltage converters 4 separately and provide a corresponding large space for each of these housings.
