- the board 1 has been described above as being arranged predominantly in the ballast, it is to be understood that the board 1 can alternatively or additionally also be arranged in other users and components of a lighting system, for example the lighting system 8.
- the circuit board 1 can also be part of a sensor or an actuator.
- An intelligent sensor IS is described below, which preferably comprises the circuit board 1 as described above. Consequently, the description of the ballast V and FIG. 1 essentially also applies to the intelligent sensor IS.
- An integration of the intelligent sensor IS into an illumination system BS is shown by way of example in FIG.
- the intelligent sensor can be connected to the lighting system BS.
- the intelligent sensor IS may also be connected to a higher-level bus system (for example, an IPv6 bus system, overlay network, etc.) and a microprocessor 2, a memory unit 3, and in particular a
- the microprocessor 2 does not necessarily have to be part of the intelligent sensor IS.
- the intelligent sensor IS can read data from several connected sensors NIS, which has no intelligence have, ie in particular no microprocessor and memory, wired via a bus line BL or wirelessly read and store. Read data can be processed by the microprocessor 2.
- the lighting system BS can also have further intelligent sensors and thus connect at least two sensors with each other.
- the bus line BL can form the signaling cut parts S.
- the sensor IS preferably has a microprocessor 2 or is connected to a microprocessor 2.
- the sensor IS furthermore has at least one memory unit 3 or is connected to a memory unit 3.
- a programming interface P which is preferably accessible from outside the sensor IS
- at least one signaling interface S which is preferably likewise accessible from outside the sensor IS
- the microprocessor 2 is configurable via the programming interface P.
- About the programming interface parts P at least one executable by the microprocessor 2 application software A in the at least one memory unit 3 can be transmitted.
- the application software A influences at least one of the following functionalities of the sensor IS:
- Signaling sections S can use the same hardware and be separated only by software.
- the intelligent sensor IS can also specify or adopt functions and / or limits for the non-intelligent sensors NIS or other intelligent sensors IS.
- the intelligent sensor IS may include one or more ballasts or converters in response to sensed data, e.g. from the non-intelligent sensors NIS and / or own data, control and / or configure.
- the non-intelligent sensors NIS may be implemented as simple motion detectors (e.g., PIRs) or light sensors (e.g., LDRs).
- the intelligent sensor IS can be a thermal imaging camera. If a detection event is detected by a non-intelligent sensor NIS, it can transmit information to the intelligent sensor IS that a detection event has been detected.
- the application software A of the intelligent sensor IS can evaluate the transmitted information in an application-specific manner and, depending on this, drive at least one other subscriber T of the lighting system BS, preferably a ballast or a converter.
- the intelligent sensor IS and / or the non-intelligent sensors NIS can also be integrated in one or more ballasts or converters.
