- PDM Pulse Width Modulation
- lighting devices which comprise a plurality of light emitters in at least two different colors, which are designed to be coupled to a circuit having a current source and a common potential reference and driver (TRI, TR2, TR3 , DRV) for operating the plurality of light emitters, of which at least two are connected to the plurality of light emitters and the circuit and comprise the respective current paths of the at least two differently colored light emitters corresponding switches.
- said prior art lighting device includes control for periodically and independently opening and closing at least two switches.
- the controller has an externally assigned, variable bus address to identify the address portion of an input ⁇ data flow and respond to it, the mannan- part, in particular an addressed data packet, this control is assigned.
- this prior art lighting device is characterized in that each light emitter is an LED and the controller generates a plurality of PWM signals, wherein each PWM signal is associated with one of the plurality of LEDs of different colors and each of the PWMs Signals causes a corresponding one of the at least two switches to open and close at corresponding frequencies according to the respective operating cycles, and wherein the data flow component contains data for Mood of the respective working cycles of at least two differently colored LEDs comprises (see, for example, EP-B-1 016062).
- Fig. 1 shows an exemplary spectrum for a bipolar PWM according to the prior art.
- the invention solves the problem of providing a device for supplying light emitters and / or LEDs with electrical energy, wherein an interference spectrum with reduced amplitude and in contrast to the prior art within certain limits modelable interference spectrum arise.
- a subtask given later in the description is to provide a pseudo-random signal with a fill factor that deviates from 50%.
- the invention proposes a lighting device which is provided with a first group of bulbs for emitting light of a first color, wherein the first group comprises at least one light source, at least a second group of bulbs for emitting light of a second different from the first color Color, the second
- Group comprises at least one lamp
- a first driver unit for driving the first group of lamps
- a second driver unit for driving the second group of lamps
- a drive unit for jointly and / or independently actuating the first and the second drive unit by means of drive signals
- each drive signal of the drive unit is an n-bit-representing drive signal of a multi-bit code, with n> 1, wherein the multi-bit code comprises a plurality of binary codewords which are subdivided into at least two code classes of codewords having different numbers of one-bits,
- At least one code class has codewords with the same number of one bits
- code classes are associated with different intensities with which the bulbs emit light
- the drive unit when the intensity with which the respective light emitting device emits light should remain unchanged and the intensity is assigned a code class with a plurality of codewords, successively drive signals with different codewords from the group of codewords of the intensity associated code class sends.
- the lighting means are driven by means of a drive signal which is modulated by means of binary code words, which can also be referred to as pulse density modulation or as spread spectrum pulse density modulation.
- codewords of the code can be subdivided into several code classes, sorted according to the number of their one-bit bits. Each code class represents a specific energy / power used by a consumer.
- a subset of code words is selected from the number of code words of a code class, and that the code words of this subset are used to form the drive signal, the subset being at least two and less than the number of code words of the relevant one Code class includes.
- the (interfering) spectrum potentially starting from the activation of a device according to the invention can be specifically influenced by frequency response and position.
- the selection of the code words from a code class which are represented by the drive signals of the drive unit is randomly controlled, quasi randomly controlled, arbitrarily varying or deterministically varying.
- the drive signals only from such code classes which comprise a plurality of codewords represent codewords having a relation to the number n of the bits of the multi-bit code percentage of one-bit, between a predetermined lower and a predetermined upper limit and / or within one or more predetermined ranges.
- code classes which comprise a plurality of codewords represent codewords having a relation to the number n of the bits of the multi-bit code percentage of one-bit, between a predetermined lower and a predetermined upper limit and / or within one or more predetermined ranges.
- the or one of the predetermined ranges is between 30% and 70%, in particular between 45% and 55%.
- the lighting device according to the invention may, if desired, further comprise a data bus coupled to the drive unit for receiving data signals via the data bus which enable the drive unit to drive the drive units with the drive signals required to generate a desired mix color light ,
- At least one code table le exists are stored in the code words of the code classes or previously selected code classes.
- the at least two control signals do not correlate with one another and / or only after a predeterminable number of cycles, eg. B. only after 256, 512, 1024, 2048 or 4096 clocks for one or a few bars correlate with each other.
- This measure serves to suppress the formation and / or the effects of disturbances.
- correlation is meant here that the auto or the cross-correlation function assumes a value above a predetermined threshold for given intervals.
- the inventive lighting device may further comprise a color table le, in which for each Grup ppe of lamps nd ie the desired color of the light to be emitted by the lamps associated code classes are given.
- the erfind ungsdorfe Be ⁇ leuchtungsvorraum comprises a color sensor for detecting the color of the n emitted by the illuminant light for Controlstores color urch d t he drive unit.
- the drive unit regulates the color temperature of the lighting means on the basis of a setpoint and an actual color temperature value by the maximum current and / or the maximum voltage and / or the maximum energy of the respective drive signal is regulated.
- the background of this measure is that a consumer can react differently when activated by the signals generated according to the invention using code words from the same code class. This is because the location of the one-bits of the codewords of the same code class is different. So z. For example, the one-bit bits individually, ie separated from each other by zero bits, or in groups with different numbers of directly "contiguous" one-bit successive sequences.
- this effect is corrected by a variable value (represented by a one-bit of the code) for the voltage, current or power to be supplied to the load.
- a variable value represented by a one-bit of the code
- the above cognition can also be used to exclude those code words of a code class for a control whose one-bit patterns are less advantageous for the operation of a consumer than other one-bit patterns of this code class ,
- the clock frequency of the drive signals with which the code words are transmitted monotonically or bandwidth-limited with a lower limit frequency not equal to zero and an upper limit frequency and thus variable at is.
- each drive signal representing a codeword has a partial spectrum in the frequency domain and thus corresponds to a partial spectrum of each codeword of each code class and that those codewords whose partial spectra lie within a predeterminable total spectrum are potentially used for the formation of the drive signal become.
- the target specification that the (interference) spectrum should have a certain position and size is to be observed particularly advantageously.
- the invention further relates to a lighting arrangement with
- a central control unit which is coupled via a data bus to the control units of the lighting devices,
- the invention solves the problem of uncontrolled EMC emissions through the use of random bit sequences or pseudo random bit sequences.
- Such random sequences and pseudorandom sequences have the property that approximately 50% of the bits are 1 and approximately 50% of the bits are 0.
- a true random sequence is white noise. If such a sequence were used directly for controlling the light sources, in particular LEDs, their luminous intensity would also rush in frequency ranges that are perceived by the human eye. This is not wanted. It is therefore important that the random sequence is band limited. In particular, it is important that the amplitude of the control signal below a lower limit frequency o u in the ideal case is zero or negligible for the application.
- T C is the clock period for the shift.
- the feedback is done by a simple primitive polynomial. Reference should be made to the European application EP2631674A1.
- the reciprocal of the maximum period T P is the lower limit frequency. It should be noted, however, that such a pseudo-random sequence always has a mean expected value of about 50% for a 1 and thus is not suitable for amplitude control.
- a device consists of a plurality of lighting means (106, 107, 108, R, G, B), which are connected via supply lines (102, 103, 104) each having a driver (TRI, TR2, TR3, DRV).
- a controller regulates the power and / or the current and / or the voltage which the respective driver (TRI, TR2, TR3, DRV) supplies to the lighting means (106, 107, 108, R, G, B).
- TRI, TR2, TR3, DRV the respective driver
- a channel (CHN) generates a signal (102, 103, 104) corresponding to a predetermined code, the active code, and the method described below.
- This active code in the said example, a 4-bit code
- CTAB can ever be ⁇ wells stored in a memory for the exemplary 16 codes that result from said exemplary 4 bits.
- Such an exemplary code table (CTAB) is given below for the exemplary 4-bit code.
- the fill factor is the number of 1-bits in a code (in bits) divided by the length of the code (also expressed in bits) as a percentage. The maximum fill factor is therefore 100%.
- a numerical value of 0 of said exemplary 4-control bits is to correspond to a power output of 0% and a fill factor of 0%.
- a numerical value of 16, ie the numerical value of the code, with all 4 bits at logical 1, should correspond to a radiation power of 100% and a filling factor of 100%.
- a 3-bit data word corresponds to the selection of the filling factor, each with a code class.
- a code may, for example, have more than 16-bits for the said example, the concrete code being selected for example by a 4-bit random number from the set of codes with the same filling factor. For example, it makes sense to consider the physiological sensitivity.
- Channel (CHN) are generated. If the channel (CH N) always sent the same code, this would mean that individual frequencies would be preferred. The goal of blurring the transients would be missed. It therefore makes sense to exchange the codes from period to period. Codes of the same fill factor are combined into code classes. In the example of a 4-bit long code, there are therefore five code classes, namely the code class 0 with fill factor 0% with only one code, the code class 1 with fill factor 25% with four codes, the code class 2 with fill factor 50% with six codes, code class 3 with fill factor 75% with four codes and code class 4 with fill factor 100% with again only one code (see the right-hand column of the table).
- the exchange can for example take place in that, for example, as described above, by means of a feedback shift register and ei ⁇ nes simple primitive polynomial, which is implemented for example in the form of a entspre ⁇ sponding logic, a random or pseudo-random number (ZZ) in a random number generator (ZG ) is generated, but not directly to the control of the lighting means and / or the LED, but to select the active code to be used from the set of allowed and / or possible codes for the next transmission period from the codes of the given code Class is used by a controller (CTR) and sets this to be used active code.
- the code class corresponds to the desired fill factor. It corresponds in function to that of the duty cycle in a PWM.
- a fill factor for the drive signal can thus be determined, which deviates substantially from 50%, that is, at least in certain operating positions less than 45% and / or more than 55%.
- CTR Con ⁇ troller
- the selection of codes within a code class may be restricted due to EMC requirements. That's the way it is, for example the example discussed here, conceivable not to use all six codes with filling factor 50% (see table), but, for example, only two or even only one of these six possible codes. However, the use of only one code would result in a periodic signal, since then no selection of the code due to the random signal can take place and the control signal would lose the property of a random signal.
- a code bit sequence 0010 could thus be transformed into the sequence 0110, wherein the first 1 of the sequence due to the low-pass characteristics of the driver (DRV, TRI, TR2, TR3), the leads (102, 103, 103) and the LEDs (106 , 107, 108, R, G, B) is not shown, so that again the desired code 0010 results as the active code effectively represented by the LEDs.
- the illumination device therefore typically comprises a plurality of light means and / or LEDs in at least two, but typically three or four or more different, in a specific embodiment. which colors. These are typically designed to be connected to an electrical power supply.
- the power supply includes an electrical circuit and a common potential reference (105).
- the driver means (TRI, TR2, TR3, DRV) for operating the plurality of light emitters and / or LEDs are also part of the device.
- the driver means (TRI, TR2, TR3, DRV) are connected to said light sources and / or LEDs and the circuit and comprise the respective current paths (102, 103, 104) the at least two differently colored light bulbs / LEDs corresponding switches and / or regulators , Furthermore, a control for the aperiodic and independent opening and closing of the at least two switches or at least two regulators is provided. In this case, under the opening and closing in the case of a said regulator, a reduction or increase in the energy throughput by the respective controller should be understood.
- the controller is connected to a wired or wireless data network and / or a data line and / or a data bus.
- the controller may have a variable from the outside by means of programming or with the aid of an address generator, which is part of the device variable bus address.
- This bus address is used by the device to z. B. from the data stream data, in particular data packets or other data messages, filter out. It thus identifies the respective proportion of an assigned input data flow and reacts thereto typically by changing a parameter of the device. For example, it is conceivable to exchange a code or parts of the code table (CTAB) or the entire code table (CTAB). It should be noted at this point that the size of the code table (CTAB) does not necessarily have to be 2 n , where n denotes the length of the code.
- the code table (CTAB) is implemented much shorter with fewer codes. It is therefore an essential possible feature of the device according to the invention that the selection of the active codes is influenced by specifications via the said data interface.
- typically at least two of the luminous means are LEDs.
- the controller (101) typically generates a multiple by means of the drivers (TRI, TR2, TR3). number of drive signals (102, 103, 104).
- the control signals (102, 103, 104) do not correlate with each other. This non-correlation may also refer only to portions of the signals. For example, it is conceivable that a correlation only occurs after 256 or 512 or 1024 or 2048 or 4096 clocks, which does not correspond to the technical optimum.
- Each of the drive signals (102, 103, 104) corresponds in each case to one color of the plurality of LEDs (106, 107, 108, R, G, B) and / or light sources of different colors.
- each of the drive signals (102, 103, 104) is generated in that at least one respective switch or controller associated with the respective drive signal is opened and closed in accordance with the respective logic state of the internal drive signal (S) of the drive signal also associated with the respective drive signal respective channel (CHN) of the control unit (101) is caused.
- the frequency spectrum of the amount of the frequency of the drive signal as described above, band-limited. This means that the signal has a lower limit frequency co u and / or an upper limit frequency ⁇ 0 .
- said data flow component determines the data for determining the respective active regions of the transmission codes which emit the at least two differently colored LEDs. It is particularly advantageous if the data flow component, that is to say typically a data packet intended for the device, determines a predefined or preprogrammed color palette in the form of a subset of the possible active codes.
- the device therefore has, per light source, a subdevice which converts the subset of the possible active codes corresponding to this data flow component into a random sequence of on and off signals and in particular into a drive signal (S) for the said switch with the preselected fill factor.
- the controller comprises at least two registers for controlling the at least two differently colored ones Lamps / LEDs.
- registers or register parts are each used to store values which, for example, receives the said data interface from a data flow.
- These data flow components in particular data packets, are then assigned to the respective differently colored lamps / LEDs and, for example, each specify the said fill factor and thus the active code class. This can happen on the one hand in the form that the content of the data flow component directly reflects the fill factor that is to be used or, on the other hand, in such a way that the content of the data flow component directly or indirectly refers to the fill factor via further tables, which should be used.
- color palettes are conceivable, which can then refer to the register contents. This is particularly efficient when z. B. a restriction to 16 colors takes place. In this case, not all data but, for example, only a 4-bit data word for the color must be transmitted.
- the fill factor of each individual drive signal (102, 103, 104, Out) is then determined with the aid of the color palette.
- the device may conveniently have a controller adapted to adjust the code fill factor appropriately. As described above, it is determined which type of code may be used at all. In the example of a four-bit code shown here, the possible filling factors of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the exemplary code classes 0 to 4 result Filling factors close to the value of 50% each, the maximum number of code variations possible. If this code is sent to a light source or an LED, then the average duty cycle per duty cycle is equal to the product of code transmission time and fill factor. This means that the behavior is analogous to that of a PWM in which the data values are be assigned to the average duty cycle per unit time of the associated color LEDs (general color lamps).
- the controller comprises at least one further register for the control of the at least two differently colored lamps or LEDs.
- this third register or this third register part is used in each case for storing a third value, which, for example, the said data interface also receives from a data flow.
- the direct use of the value is possible, but also the indirect use of a color palette possibly associated with the code palette.
- the content of the third value refers to the correct code table.
- This data flow component, in particular a data packet is, in the direct utilization of the active code table extension associated with, and controls, for example, Se ⁇ lesson of the codes from the code table.
- the device It is basically useful to provide the device with a housing which substantially surrounds the plurality of light emitting devices or LEDs, the driver means (TRI, TR2, TR3, DRV) and the said controller (101).
- the device comprises an electrical regulator for controlling the maximum currents supplied via the current paths to the plurality of LEDs so as to keep the maximum currents at constant maximum values. This has the advantage that the color temperature of the LEDs can be kept constant.
- the amplitude of the pulse signal is typically also regulated.
- the device may be connected and / or provided with a color sensor which allows the control unit (101) to control the filling adjust the factor and / or the color temperature of the lamps or LEDs so that the desired color emission or color reflection of the irradiated object is achieved.
- a color sensor which allows the control unit (101) to control the filling adjust the factor and / or the color temperature of the lamps or LEDs so that the desired color emission or color reflection of the irradiated object is achieved.
- it makes sense to measure the color temperature of one channel (CHN, CHN1, CHN2, CHN3) whenever the other channels are turned off, for non-correlated drive signals (102, 103, 104, Out), random signals, or Pseudo-random numbers are based, will be the case again and again. This makes it possible to readjust the color temperature very easily by readjusting the maximum current and / or the maximum voltage and / or the maximum energy.
- the device comprises an electric regulator for controlling the maximum power to the plurality of bulbs or LEDs supplied via the current paths, so as to maintain the picked up by the lamps or LEDs maximum energy kon ⁇ constants maximum values.

- the control provides, for example, a bus address to all bus subscribers (lighting device) at the same time and the bus subscribers decide whether this bus address is suitable for the respective bus subscriber. If this decision is positive, the bus participant accepts the provided bus address and signals to all other bus participants that this bus address has been taken over or that now the transfer of the next bus address by another bus participant should be done.
- This signaling can take place, for example, by passing the data flow from said first data interface of the lighting device to said second data interface of the lighting device and vice versa from the time at which the variable bus address of the lighting device has been adopted.
- the bus address is not concretely assigned to a bus subscriber. It is thus the case that the controller provides the network - ie all bus users - with a bus address for (free) use. According to this procedure, individual bus users decide independently whether they use this bus address. It is thus not an assignment with respect to a single bus participant, but the assignment of the bus address to a network position.
- the particular advantage of this method is that the individual bus users receive their bus address due to their position and do not have to be preconfigured.
- bus user may also be appropriate for the bus user to maintain the address table of all network addresses (bus addresses) of the lighting network used.
- the bus user selects one of the bus addresses independently, determined by the position in the cable harness.
