Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating a consumer module having at least one electrical consumer and a control unit for activating the electrical consumer via a converter having an interface, the consumer module with its at least one electrical consumer being supplied with constant voltage via the interface of the converter and receiving control data and the converter is supplied with a control signal on the input side.
  • the invention also relates to an electrical load system with a converter having an interface for providing a constant voltage supply and control data for a load module to be connected or connected thereto and having at least one electrical load, the converter having a control input for receiving control data for controlling the at least one electrical consumer of the consumer module, has two contacts for the power supply and at least one contact as a data contact.
  • the interface is typically designed according to a junction box. This is typically installed on the wall or ceiling of a lighting device.
  • a light source to be connected to it is part of a consumer module which, in addition to the at least one light source, comprises a control unit as an electrical consumer, with which the at least one light source is controlled.
  • the control signal specified by the user, provided by a dimmer, is present on the input side of the connection box. In a manner known per se, this control signal is transmitted by the control unit in the Consumer module in the desired control parameters - implemented and controlled at least one consumer - a control parameterization.
  • control data provided by a sensor actuated by the user for example a dimmer
  • a sensor actuated by the user for example a dimmer
  • the control data provided by a sensor actuated by the user is matched to the electrical consumer to be controlled. Therefore, only such a light source that can be controlled with the dimmer can be connected as an electrical consumer to such an interface that is acted upon by a specific dimmer.
  • one consumer module can be replaced by another in this previously known consumer system, this requires that the at least one electrical consumer of the replacing consumer module can be controlled with the same control data as the at least one electrical consumer of the replaced consumer module. The flexibility of this previously known consumer system is therefore restricted.
  • a consumer module is not equipped with a corresponding connection, for example a plug module, if the complementary interface is designed as a connection socket, in DE 20 2018 102 080 U1 proposed to equip such a consumer module with a coupling module.
  • a coupling module is an adapter so that such an interface installed on the wall or ceiling can also be used by a consumer module which was originally not mechanically equipped with connection means complementary to the connection box.
  • U.S. 2017/0150561 A1 discloses a lighting system comprising a control module and a consumer.
  • the control module is set up to subject the consumer to a large number of different protocols in order to find out which of the protocols the consumer reacts to. If the control module detects a reaction, the consumer is controlled with the determined protocol.
  • DE 10 2004 020 216 A1 relates to a signal converter to which a large number of input devices and one or more operating devices are connected are connected. Using the signal converter, analog inputs from the input devices can be converted into luminaire protocols, such as the DALI protocol. Various lamp-specific commands are stored in the signal converter, with which the lamps can be controlled.
  • U.S. 2012/0126707 A1 discloses a variable-color lamp that can be controlled over the widest possible color range. For this purpose, a calculation logic is proposed with which a large number of color channels of an LED light can be controlled.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method for operating a consumer module having at least one electrical consumer and an electrical consumer system with which there is greater variability in the use of the interface.
  • the converter also has a control value transmitter for converting a received control signal into a normalized digital control value that is independent of the type of at least one electrical consumer of the consumer module and in which the consumer module comprises connection means for contacting the contacts of the converter and a control unit connected or connectable on the input side to the contact provided for data transmission, through which the at least one electrical load can be controlled in accordance with the received control value, with the applied control value being individualized as a scalable control signal in a consumer-related or load-related control parameterization only in the consumer module.
  • the electrical consumer module with its at least one electrical consumer is supplied with a constant voltage by a converter.
  • the converter has an interface to which the consumer module is connected or can be connected. This interface is preferably designed so that a load module can be or is releasably connected to it and thus a first load module can be exchanged for a second load module in a simple manner.
  • the load module is not only supplied with a constant voltage by the converter, but also receives control data from it via the named interface, according to which the at least one electrical load is to be controlled.
  • the converter has a control input to which a control signal, for example the output signal of a dimmer, is present.
  • the drive signal is typically scalable.
  • the output signal of the sensor which is designed as a dimmer, for example, can act on the converter directly, specifically at its control input. It is also possible that the control input of the converter is connected to a data bus, typically one of a building services installation system, for example according to the KNX standard. The converter then receives its control signal via the building installation system, it being possible for the original control signal to be provided by a dimmer.
  • the converter converts this control signal present at its control input into a normalized digital control value, with this conversion taking place independently of the type of electrical load of the load module provided for control. For this reason, this control value is addressed as "normalized”.
  • This normalized digital control value is a control value that corresponds to the control signal present on the input side according to its scaling, if the control signal is scalable. For example, if the output of a leading-edge or trailing-edge dimmer is present at the control input of the converter, the converter decouples the dimming signal and thus the desired dimming level from the power supply of the load module and feeds it into the load module as a control value via the data contact of the interface.
  • the control value corresponds to the dimming setting provided by the user.
  • the at least one electrical consumer of the consumer module is actually activated by the activation unit of the consumer module, which activates the at least one electrical consumer according to the control value present at the data contact.
  • the actual control of the at least one electrical consumer of the consumer module thus takes place with a control parameterization provided by the control unit of the consumer module. This is matched to the at least one electrical consumer. Both are part of the consumer module.
  • a possible individualization of a scalable control signal in a consumer or load-related control parameterization only takes place in the consumer module. From this it is clear that all upstream components can be designed independently of the consumer module.
  • consumer modules with a wide variety of electrical consumers can be connected to the interface of the converter, since the internal control is carried out by the control unit of the consumer module and the control unit of the consumer module is in turn controlled by a normalized control value.
  • the control input of the converter is connected to the output of a sensor providing a scalable signal, such as a dimmer, can be operated with this.
  • the at least one electrical consumer of such a consumer module can also be a radio device, a radio attachment or the like. In the case of a radio device as the electrical consumer of the consumer module, the volume and/or the station selection in the consumer module can be adjusted in this way by the dimmer.
  • the same is controlled via the control unit integrated in the consumer module using a consumer-specific or load-specific characteristic curve or a characteristic map (also multidimensional).
  • a characteristic curve or such a characteristic map is stored in a memory in the consumer module and can be called up by the control unit.
  • the control of the electrical load or loads in the load module then takes place with the control parameter resulting from the characteristic curve or the characteristic diagram and corresponding to the control value received. In this way, the perception on the part of the user can be adapted to the changing behavior of the electrical consumer(s) when there is a change in the control parameterization.
  • the interface of the converter can also be used by other consumer modules, and even those whose electrical consumers are not controlled, as is the case, for example, with a consumer module designed as a charging station, for example for a mobile phone.
  • the interface of the converter can also be used to connect a Connect load module, which contains a sensor, such as a motion sensor, a brightness sensor or the like as an electrical load.
  • the data line is used for communication from the load module via the converter to a control unit that is connected to the control input of the converter or can be reached via it, for example by means of a bus system or a network.
  • Consumer modules can also be connected to the interface of such a converter, which contain one and the same electrical consumer, for example one and the same lamp, but in different stages of expansion. According to one embodiment, such a consumer module can include a non-dimmable lamp.
  • control value received by the control unit of the consumer module it is controlled with the power provided for operating the at least one light source of the lamp as long as the consumer module is supplied with constant voltage and the control value received from the control unit exceeds a predefined value.
  • the lamp can be dimmed and is then controlled with a control parameterization that corresponds to the control value received from the control unit of the consumer module.
  • the converter has an emergency shutdown function so that it is not damaged in an overload situation.
  • the converter can have means for detecting irregular operating states of the load and for switching off the voltage supply if necessary.
  • an emergency shutdown it is taken into account that in the case of capacitive electrical consumers, when charging their charging capacities, a higher power is initially drawn. However, this is limited in time. Accordingly, the charging capacities to be charged in this regard will be set up in the electrical consumer module. In this respect, such an irregular operating state can be inferred if the consumption of a higher power than the nominal power lasts for a predefined period of time, for example 150 ms.
  • the power consumption of the load module is reduced if the power consumed by it is greater than or becomes greater than the maximum power provided or that can be provided by the converter.
  • the consumer module has a power consumption limiter.
  • the existing data line between the converter and the consumer module can be used for this purpose.
  • the converter transmits a load index as an indication of its maximum power to the consumer module via the data line. This load index is stored in the consumer module.
  • the control unit uses this load index and controls the at least one electrical load only with a control parameterization, so that the permissible maximum power of the converter expressed by the load index is not exceeded.
  • the load index is preferably transmitted isochronously from the converter to the consumer module. It is also possible that this is done when the load module is connected to the interface of the converter.
  • another embodiment provides for making the load index of the converter the load index of the consumer module if the load index of the consumer module calculated in the same way is greater than that of the converter.
  • a power consumption limit is useful to ensure damage-free operation for the converter or converters used in such a consumer system, without having to use converters with an excessive maximum power for the intended functioning of such a consumer system, which is the theoretically possible maximum Power consumption of a consumer module would correspond.
  • the normalized digital control value is preferably provided isochronously by the converter with a predetermined repetition frequency. This means that after connecting a consumer module to the converter, it is immediately ready for operation. In addition, any complex setup measures are no longer necessary. A load index then also does not need to be stored in the electrical load module.
  • the consumer module is equipped with on-site sensors.
  • Such an on-site sensor system is a sensor system located on the load module, with which the at least one electrical load can be controlled.
  • the on-site sensor system can be, for example, a sensor system for setting up the brightness of the lamp.
  • the control unit of the load module is switched to another operating state, specifically one in which the signals from the on-site sensor system are evaluated for the control of the electrical load or loads. This switching can be done by a predetermined data bit in the data stream of the on-site sensors. If the on-site sensors are activated, the light is dimmed using the on-site sensors.
  • Such an on-site sensor system can be activated, for example, simply by actuating it. If the on-site sensor system is activated, the activation of the at least one electrical consumer of the consumer module, ie for example the lamp, is decoupled from the control value currently present and provided by the converter. Consequently, the input side of the Control unit of the electrical load module applied control value is not used to provide the control parameterization for controlling the at least one electrical load.
  • a lamp can thus be dimmed and/or switched on and off directly on the lamp itself using such an on-site sensor system, without the user first having to move to a dimmer that may be some distance away from the lamp for this purpose.
  • Such a configuration is expedient, for example, in the case of bedside lamps if control is also provided by a room switch, for example mounted on the wall.
  • a room switch designed for example as a dimmer
  • the at least one electrical consumer of the consumer module can be switched on and off and also dimmed.
  • this light can also be operated on site and thus from the bed, for example.
  • the control of such a light can be switched back by such a local sensor either by corresponding actuation of the local sensor, i.e. the local sensor switches the load module-side control unit back to its other operating state or by control via the converter.
  • the converter that detects a change in the dimming position integrates a dedicated bit in its data stream, by means of which the evaluation unit in the electrical consumer module switches the on-site sensor system operating mode of the control unit back to the other operating state. This can be done, for example, by actuating the dimmer installed on the wall, which the converter detects and causes it to integrate the aforementioned switching bit into the data stream.
  • one exemplary embodiment provides that the dimmer described above, for example. which must be actuated to the extent to deactivate the on-site sensor system control that the control value provided by the converter falls below or exceeds the control value last applied to the data contact by a predetermined size. Through this it is ensured that the on-site sensor system control is only terminated if operation is actually to take place with the sensor mounted on the wall, for example, which is noticeable in an actuation of the same over a certain control value range. In such an embodiment, the evaluation takes place in the converter.
  • a change in the control parameterization of the at least one electrical consumer is only made if the control value present at the input of the control unit of the consumer module corresponds to the control parameterization that the last made via the on-site sensors.
  • the load module comprises a radio device or another audio device as the electrical load, in order to avoid unpleasant jumps in volume under certain circumstances.
  • consumer module-specific data for example characteristic data about the converter
  • the at least one electrical consumer of the consumer module can then be controlled according to its characteristic data via the building installation bus, using the relevant options.

  • the consumer module has a plug module with contact pins as connection contacts as a complement.

  • holding means which allow the consumer module to rotate relative to the interface of the converter.
  • magnetic holding means can be used for this.
  • the junction box and/or the load module has a holding magnet.
  • This can be a permanent magnet.

  • This can be a second magnet, which is arranged in the same direction as the holding magnet.

Then the connector module can be removed from the junction box.
