Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for recognizing the wiring of a set of at least two light dimmers comprising a first dimmer comprising a transistor and an output and a second dimmer comprising a transistor and an output, the output of the first dimmer. being connected to a first light source.
  • Dimmers such as those in such an assembly can be used to vary the luminous intensity of the light emitted by the first light source, including compact fluorescent lamps and light emitting diode lamps, which are now replacing to a large extent traditional incandescent bulbs, in particular because they consume much less energy.
  • the variable power supply of the light loads is carried out in practice by means of an output signal cut in the phase according to a cut mode which depends on the nature of the load, that is to say whether it is acts of a rather resistive, inductive or capacitive load.
  • the existing variators generally offer at least two operating modes, that is to say an operating mode called angle cut-off and a so-called angle conduction operating mode.
  • the variator closes the transistor at an instant of the zero crossing of the voltage coming from the alternating voltage source and the transistor is open, at an instant in the half-period following said passage to zero. The difference between when the transistor is closed and when the transistor is open defines the cutoff angle.
  • the variator opens the transistor at an instant of the zero crossing of the voltage from the alternating voltage source and the transistor is closed, at an instant in the half-period following said passage to zero. The difference between when the transistor is open and when the transistor is closed defines the cutoff angle.
  • the document DE 10 2007 029 979 B3 discloses a multi-channel dimmer intended to drive a plurality of loads.

  • This method of putting into operation has the advantage of being able to detect the wiring used with the set of at least two light dimmers, that is to say of detecting which of the outputs of the set are connected to the same light source, in order to be able to synchronize them with each other.
  • the second drive is connected in parallel with the first drive to the first light source.
  • the assembly further comprises a third variator, the output of the second variator being connected to a second light source and the output of the third variator being connected to the second light source, to another light source or to no light source. .
