Description

Verfahren zum Betrieb eines Steuerungssystems zur Steuerung einer Beleuchtungsanlage  Method for operating a control system for controlling a lighting system
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betrieb eines Steuerungssys tems zur Steuerung einer Beleuchtungsanlage nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1. The invention relates to a method for operating a Steuerungssys system for controlling a lighting system according to the preamble of claim 1.
Bekannte Steuerungssysteme, die beispielsweise aus Lichtstellpulten gebildet sein können, dienen zur Steuerung von Beleuchtungsanlagen, wie sie beispielsweise in Theatern und Konzertbühnen zum Einsatz kommen. Diese Beleuchtungsanlagen umfassen regelmäßig eine Vielzahl von Beleuchtungseinrichtungen, beispielsweise Bühnenscheinwerfern, wobei die Beleuchtungseinrichtungen vielfach auch für sich genommen zwischen einer Vielzahl von Beleuchtungszuständen, beispielsweise unterschiedlichen Farben und Intensitäten, umgeschaltet werden können. Die verschiedenen Beleuchtungseinrichtungen mit ihren unterschiedli chen Beleuchtungszuständen werden dabei durch programmierte Parame ter im Beleuchtungsprogramm des Steuerungssystems gesteuert. Übliche Beleuchtungsanlagen können mehrere tausend Beleuchtungsein richtungen umfassen. Um derart komplexe Beleuchtungsanlagen steuern zu können, sind die einzelnen Lichtstellmodule, bei denen es sich bei spielsweise um Lichtstellpulte handeln kann, mit einem Digitalprozessor ausgestattet, der eine digitale Daten- und Signalverarbeitung erlaubt. Zur Speicherung der Daten ist weiterhin ein Digitalspeicher vorgesehen, der es insbesondere ermöglicht, Beleuchtungsprogramme zu archivieren und dann bei Bedarf entsprechend abzurufen. Um die Betriebs sicherheit des Steuerungs systems auch bei Ausfall einzelner Lichtstellmodule gewähr leisten zu können, umfasst das Steuerungs system gattungsgemäß mehrere Lichtstellmodule, die einzelne Beleuchtungsprogramme separat vonei nander abarbeiten und bestimmte Teile der Beleuchtungsanlage steuern. Durch die Schaffung eines Steuerungssystems , das durch die Kombinati on mehrerer Lichtstellmodule realisiert wird, läs st sich außerdem die technische Leistungsfähigkeit des Steuerungs systems in einfacher Weise auf den j eweiligen Bedarf abstimmen, da zur Erhöhung der Leistungsfä higkeit lediglich weitere Lichtstellmodule in das Steuerungs system zusätzlich eingebunden werden müs sen. Ein gattungsgemäßes Steue rungs system zur Steuerung einer Beleuchtungsanlage ist beispielsweise aus der US 8 138 689 bekannt. Known control systems, which may be formed for example from lighting desks, are used to control lighting systems, such as those used in theaters and concert stages. These lighting installations regularly comprise a multiplicity of lighting devices, for example stage lights, wherein the lighting devices can in many cases also be switched over between a multiplicity of lighting states, for example different colors and intensities. The various lighting devices with their unterschiedli chen lighting conditions are controlled by programmed parame ter in the lighting program of the control system. Usual lighting systems may include several thousand Beleuchtungsein directions. To control such complex lighting systems To be able to, the individual Lichtstellmodule, which may be, for example, lighting desks, equipped with a digital processor that allows digital data and signal processing. For storing the data, a digital memory is further provided, which in particular makes it possible to archive lighting programs and then retrieve them as needed. In order to ensure the safety of operation of the control system even in the event of failure of individual Lichtstellmodule, the control system includes generically several Lichtstellmodule that work off individual lighting programs separately from each other and control certain parts of the lighting system. The creation of a control system that is realized by the Kombinati on several Lichtstellmodule, läs st st also the technical performance of the control system in a simple way to meet the j eweiligen need tune because to increase the efficiency only further Lichtstellmodule in the control system in addition to be involved. A generic Steue system for controlling a lighting system is known for example from US 8 138 689.
Da die einzelnen Lichtstellmodule der bekannten Steuerungs systeme zur Steuerung einer Beleuchtungsanlage j eweils unabhängig voneinander arbeiten, ist eine zeitliche Ab stimmung des Programmablaufs in den einzelnen Lichtstellmodulen erforderlich . Bei bekannten Steuerungs sys temen erfolgt diese zeitliche Abstimmung dadurch, das s alle Lichtstell module gemeinsam durch ein vordefiniertes Anfangs signal gestartet werden. Danach arbeiten die einzelnen Lichtstellmodule ihre jeweiligen Beleuchtungsprogramme unabhängig voneinander ab , wobei eine zeitli che Synchronisation nicht vorgesehen ist. Da die Zeitmes seinrichtungen in den einzelnen Lichtstellmodulen nicht absolut exakt miteinander übereinstimmen, kann es bei längeren Programmabläufen dazu kommen, das s der Programmablauf der einzelnen Lichtstellmodule aufgrund der Unterschiede bei der Zeitmes sung nicht mehr exakt aufeinander abge stimmt ist. Diese mangelnde zeitliche Synchronisation zwischen den einzelnen Lichtstellmodulen wird dabei umso größer, j e länger die Beleuchtungsprogramme laufen . Außerdem ist die fehlende zeitliche Synchronisationsmöglichkeit zwischen den einzelnen Lichtstellmodulen bei der Programmierung der Lichtstellmodule von Nachteil, da nach Änderung einzelner Parameter in den Beleuchtungsprogrammen für einen Test der Beleuchtungsprogramme alle Lichtstellmodule gemeinsam von neuem gestartet werden müs sen. Der Test von neuprogrammierten Be leuchtungsprogrammen wird dadurch erheblich erschwert. Since the individual Lichtstellmodule the known control systems for controlling a lighting system in each case work independently of each other, a time from mood of the program flow in the individual Lichtstellmodulen is required. In known control sys tems this timing is characterized in that s all Lichtstell modules are started together by a predefined initial signal. Thereafter, the individual Lichtstellmodule work off their respective lighting programs independently, with a temporal synchronization is not provided. Since the Zeitmes device directions in the individual Lichtstellmodulen not exactly match with each other, it may happen at longer program sequences that s the program flow of the individual Lichtstellmodule due to the differences in the Zeitmes solution is no longer exactly matched abge. This lack of temporal synchronization between the individual lighting modules will be larger, the longer the lighting programs run. In addition, the lack of temporal synchronization option between the individual Lichtstellmodulen in the programming of the Lichtstellmodule disadvantageous because after changing individual parameters in the lighting programs for a test of the lighting programs all Lichtstellmodule must be started together again sen. The test of newly programmed lighting programs is made considerably more difficult.
Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik ist es deshalb Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein neues Verfahren zum Betrieb eines Steue rungs systems zur Steuerung einer Beleuchtungsanlage vorzuschlagen, das die oben beschriebenen Nachteile vermeidet. Based on this prior art, it is therefore an object of the present invention to propose a new method for operating a Steue ing system for controlling a lighting system that avoids the disadvantages described above.
Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren beruht auf dem Grundgedanken, das s in einem Lichtstellmodul ein Systemzeitsignal erzeugt wird, das der zeitli chen Synchronisation der verschiedenen Lichtstellmodule im Steuerungs system dient. Nach der Erzeugung des Systemzeitsignals wird dieses dann über Datenleitungen an alle zum Steuerungs system gehörenden Lichtstellmodule weitergeleitet. Durch den Empfang des Systemzeitsig nals können alle Lichtstellmodule des Steuerungssystems zeitlich mitei nander synchronisiert werden. Bei der Abarbeitung der Beleuchtungspro gramme in den verschiedenen Lichtstellmodulen folgt dann die Signal verarbeitung unter Verwendung des Systemzeitsignals . The method according to the invention is based on the basic idea that a system time signal is generated in a light-adjusting module which serves for the timely synchronization of the various light-adjusting modules in the control system. After the generation of the system time signal, this is then forwarded via data lines to all the lighting system belonging to the control system. By receiving the system time signal, all lighting control modules of the control system can be synchronized with one another in terms of time. During the processing of the Beleuchtungspro programs in the various Lichtstellmodulen then follows the signal processing using the system time signal.
Im Ergebnis wird also durch das Systemzeitsignal, das an alle Licht stellmodule des Steuerungssystems verteilt wird, eine zeitliche Synchro nisation aller Lichtstellmodule während des Programmablaufs der ein zelnen Beleuchtungsprogramme ermöglicht. Zeitliche Abweichungen zwischen den einzelnen Lichtstellmodulen können auf diese Weise problemlos eliminiert werden, bevor es zu wahrnehmbaren zeitlichen Abweichungen zwischen den einzelnen Lichtstellmodulen kommt. Au ßerdem können die Beleuchtungsprogramme synchronisiert zueinander getestet werden, ohne das s jeweils alle Beleuchtungsprogramme auf den Startzeitpunkt zurückgesetzt werden müs sen. As a result, therefore, by the system time signal, which is distributed to all light adjusting modules of the control system, a temporal Synchro organization of all Lichtstellmodule during the program flow of a single lighting programs allows. Time deviations between the individual light adjusting modules can be easily eliminated in this way, before it is noticeable temporal Deviations between the individual lighting modules comes. For putting in the lighting programs can be tested synchronized with each other without the S s all lighting programs must be reset to the start time sen.
Mit welcher Häufigkeit ein zur Synchronisation der einzelnen Licht- stellmodule dienendes Systemzeitsignal erzeugt wird, ist grundsätzlich beliebig . Bevorzugt ist es , dass das Systemzeitsignal mit einem regelmä ßigen zeitlichen Ab stand wiederkehrend erzeugt und an alle Lichtstell- module weitergeleitet wird. The frequency with which a system time signal serving to synchronize the individual light adjusting modules is generated is basically arbitrary. It is preferable for the system time signal to be generated recurrently with a regular time interval and forwarded to all light-adjusting modules.
Der zeitliche Abstand zwischen den einzelnen Systemzeitsignalen kann dabei bevorzugt in dem Bereich zwischen 5ms bis 50ms , insbesondere bei ca. 30ms, liegen. Dies bedeutet also mit anderen Worten, das s eine zeitliche Synchronisation aller Lichtstellmodule durch das Systemzeit signal mit einer Wiederholrate von 5ms bis 50ms erfolgt. The time interval between the individual system time signals may preferably be in the range between 5 ms to 50 ms, in particular approximately 30 ms. In other words, this means that a temporal synchronization of all Lichtstellmodule by the system time signal is at a repetition rate of 5ms to 50ms.
Welche Bauart die Lichtstellmodule in dem Steuerungs system aufweisen, ist grundsätzlich beliebig . Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das Verfahren zum Betrieb eines Steuerungssystems vorgesehen, bei dem zumindest ein Lichtstellmodul in der Art eines Lichtstellpults ausgebil det ist. Dieses Lichtstellpult umfas st dann mehrere Bedienelemente, insbesondere Tasten, Schieberegler und/oder Drehregler, die an der Oberseite des Gehäuses angeordnet sind. An den Bedienelementen kann der Bediener dann Bedienbefehle bei der Programmierung und beim Ablauf der Beleuchtungsprogramme eingeben. Außerdem umfasst das Lichtstellpult zumindest eine Anzeigeeinrichtung, beispielsweise ein Farbdisplay. Which type the light adjusting modules have in the control system is basically arbitrary. According to a preferred embodiment, the method for operating a control system is provided, wherein at least one light adjusting module is ausgebil det in the manner of a lighting console. This light control desk then includes several controls, in particular buttons, sliders and / or knobs, which are arranged at the top of the housing. On the controls, the operator can then enter operating commands during programming and during the course of the lighting programs. In addition, the lighting console comprises at least one display device, for example a color display.
Von besonderer Bedeutung ist das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren, wenn in zumindest einem Lichtstellmodul des Steuerungs systems ein Digitalpro zessor enthalten ist, der eine Effektengine zur Erzeugung von Beleuch tungseffekten berechnet. Denn bei der zeitlichen Synchronisation dieser Beleuchtungseffekte sind bereits kleinste zeitliche Abweichungen sehr störend. Durch die zeitliche Synchronisation mit dem Systemzeitsignal können die Beleuchtungseffekte mit höchster Präzision in synchronisier ter Form realisiert werden. Of particular importance is the method according to the invention, when in at least one light control module of the control system, a Digitalpro processor is included, which calculates an effects engine for generating lighting effects effects. Because with the temporal synchronization of these lighting effects even the smallest temporal deviations are very disturbing. Due to the temporal synchronization with the system time signal, the lighting effects can be realized with the highest precision in synchronized form.
In welcher Weise der Beleuchtungseffekt in der Effektengine des ent- sprechenden Lichtstellmoduls berechnet wird, ist ebenfalls grundsätzlich beliebig . Sehr große Vorteile bietet das erfindungs gemäße Verfahren, wenn bei der Berechnung des Beleuchtungseffekts in der Effektengine eine zeitabhängige Berechnungsformel E=F(t) verwendet wird. Denn solche mathematischen Algorithmen zur Definition von Beleuchtungsef- fekten sind zwar im Hinblick auf den notwendigen Speicherbedarf von großem Vorteil, zeigen aber eine hohe Empfindlichkeit im Hinblick auf die zeitliche Synchronisation bei Darstellung mehrerer Beleuchtungsef fekte verschiedener Lichtstellmodule. Diese Probleme können durch die zeitliche Synchronisation mittels des erfindungsgemäßen Systemzeitsig- nals problemlos eliminiert werden. The manner in which the lighting effect is calculated in the effect engine of the corresponding lighting control module is likewise basically arbitrary. The method according to the invention offers very great advantages if a time-dependent calculation formula E = F (t) is used in the calculation of the lighting effect in the effects engine. Although such mathematical algorithms for the definition of illumination effects are of great advantage in view of the necessary memory requirement, they show a high sensitivity with regard to the temporal synchronization when several illumination effects of different light-adjusting modules are represented. These problems can be easily eliminated by the temporal synchronization by means of the system time signal according to the invention.
