Ein solches System zum abschnittsweisen Beleuchten von in Verbund verlegten rechteckigen oder quadratischen Paneelen oder Fliesen, die beleuchtbare Musterausschnitte aufweisen, ist aus dem DE 20 2020 000 827 U1 des Anmelders bekannt.Such a system for the section-wise illuminating of rectangular or square panels or tiles laid in a composite and having illuminable pattern sections is from the DE 20 2020 000 827 U1 of the applicant known.

Bekannt ist die Energieversorgung von LED's über ein Netzgerät, kommt farbiges Licht zum Einsatz ist ein Controller nötig, wobei ein pulsweitenmodulierender Controller und RGB-LED's verwendet werden. Sollen Lauflichter zur Anwendung kommen, werden programmierbare LED's verwendet. Dies unterscheidet sich deutlich von den vorherigen Lösungen, da hier ein Datensignal benötigt wird, welches von speziellen Controllern bereitgestellt wird und zwar in Form von Digital Multiplex- oder Serial Peripheral Interface-Signalen.It is known that LEDs are supplied with energy via a power supply unit; if colored light is used, a controller is required, a pulse-width modulating controller and RGB LEDs being used. If running lights are to be used, programmable LEDs are used. This differs significantly from the previous solutions, since here a data signal is required which is provided by special controllers in the form of digital multiplex or serial peripheral interface signals.

Die Ansteuerung der LED's und damit die Stromversorgung erfolgt ausschließlich mit einer Spannung von 5 V, da die Chips innerhalb der LED's sonst Schaden nehmen würden. Das Datensignal ist eine Rechteckspannung und nicht höher als 5 V.The control of the LEDs and thus the power supply takes place exclusively with a voltage of 5 V, since the chips inside the LEDs would otherwise be damaged. The data signal is a square wave voltage and not higher than 5 V.

Bei einer hohen Anzahl der LED's steigt der Strom stetig an und erreicht bis zu 10 Ampere, wodurch ein großer Leitungsquerschnitt verwendet werden muss. Hinzu kommt, dass Leitungslängen von mehr als 10 m ein Spannungsabfall zur Folge haben und dies zu Funktionsstörungen führt. Diese äußern sich in Helligkeitsverlusten bei den LED's. Des Weiteren wird das Datensignal bei großen Leitungslängen unsauber, was zu Störungen, wie z. B. fehlerhafte Farbmischungen bei den LED's, führt.With a high number of LEDs, the current increases steadily and reaches up to 10 amperes, which means that a large cable cross-section must be used. In addition, cable lengths of more than 10 m result in a voltage drop and this leads to malfunctions. These are expressed in the loss of brightness in the LEDs. Furthermore, the data signal becomes unclean with long line lengths, which can lead to interference such as B. incorrect color mixes in the LED's, leads.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Anordnung zur Ansteuerung von digitalen mit einen integriertem Schaltkreis versehenen LED's, die in Musterausschnitte von Boden-, Decken- und/oder Wandpaneelen angeordnet sind, bereitszustellen, welche im weitesten Sinne fehlertolerant ist und weitestgehend durch einen geringen technischen Aufwand gekennzeichnet ist.

Weiterhin sollen die Reichweiten zwischen LED-Controller und den LED-Convertern und damit den LED-Strips bzw. den PCB-Bändern wesentlich verlängert werden, ohne dass es zu einem Spannungsabfall und/oder Störeinflüssen, wie zum Beispiel durch Fremdinduktion, kommt.The object of the invention is to provide an arrangement for controlling digital LEDs with an integrated circuit, which are arranged in sample sections of floor, ceiling and / or wall panels, which is fault-tolerant in the broadest sense and largely through little technical effort is marked. The fault tolerance is based on electromagnetic compatibility and seizure safety. Furthermore, the ranges between the LED controller and the LED converters and thus the LED strips or the PCB tapes should be significantly extended without there being a voltage drop and / or interference, such as by external induction.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst mit den Merkmalen des Hauptanspruchs. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen und der nachfolgenden Beschreibung.The problem is solved with the features of the main claim. Further advantageous refinements emerge from the subclaims and the following description.

Demgemäß wird eine Anordnung zum Ansteuern von LED's, die zum abschnittsweisen Beleuchten von in Boden-, Decken- und/oder Wandpaneelen und Fliesen eingelassenen Musterausschnitten, wie im DE 20 2020 000 827 U1 des Anmelders beschrieben, mit einer Stromversorgung, einem LED-Controller und mindestens einem Converter, der jeweils mit PCB-Bändern bzw. LED-Strips verbunden ist.Accordingly, an arrangement for driving LEDs, which are used for the section-wise lighting of pattern cutouts embedded in floor, ceiling and / or wall panels and tiles, as in FIG DE 20 2020 000 827 U1 described by the applicant, with a power supply, an LED controller and at least one converter, which is each connected to PCB tapes or LED strips.

Die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung umfasst einen LED-Controller, der ein SPI-Signal erzeugt und dieses in ein optisches Signal umwandelt, und mindestens einen LED-Converter, indem das optische Signal wieder in ein SPI-Signal umgewandelt wird und zur Ansteuerung der LED's in den PCB-Bändern bzw. LED-Strips weiterleitet.The arrangement according to the invention comprises an LED controller that generates an SPI signal and converts it into an optical signal, and at least one LED converter by converting the optical signal back into an SPI signal and for controlling the LEDs in the PCB - forwards ribbons or LED strips.

Der LED-Controller ist an eine Stromversorgung, beispielsweise einer Schutzkleinspannungsquelle angeschlossen, die den LED-Controller mit einer Gleichspannung von maximal 75 V DC, vorzugsweise 48 V DC, versorgt. Der LED-Controller umfasst eine Hauptplatine mit einem Prozessor und Verarbeitung von Sollwert-Informationen, die von einer App mittels Bluetooth oder W-LAN an den LED-Controller gesendet werden. In der App werden Einstellungen der Lichteigenschaften getroffen und die daraus resultierenden Sollwerte erstellt.The LED controller is connected to a power supply, for example a protective low voltage source, which supplies the LED controller with a direct voltage of a maximum of 75 V DC, preferably 48 V DC. The LED controller comprises a main board with a processor and processing of setpoint information that is sent to the LED controller by an app via Bluetooth or W-LAN. Settings for the light properties are made in the app and the resulting setpoints are created.

Die Hauptplatine des LED-Controllers verwendet die übermittelten Sollwert-Informationen, um ein zeitkritisches SPI-Signal zu erzeugen und auszugeben. Dies erfolgt in den genau richtigen Zeitabständen (zeitkritisches SPI-Signal), wodurch der integrierte Schaltkreis innerhalb der digitalen LED's weiß was zu tun ist. Je nach Anzahl der Farben gibt es z. B. für RGB (Rot, Grün, Blau) eine 24 Bit Kombination und für RGBW eine 52 Bit Kombination. Da ein zeitkritisches SPI-Signal generiert wird, ist keine zweite Datenleitung erforderlichThe main board of the LED controller uses the transmitted setpoint information to generate and output a time-critical SPI signal. This takes place at exactly the right time intervals (time-critical SPI signal), so that the integrated circuit within the digital LEDs knows what to do. Depending on the number of colors, there are z. B. for RGB (red, green, blue) a 24 bit combination and for RGBW a 52 bit combination. Since a time-critical SPI signal is generated, no second data line is required

Das ausgegebene zeitkritische SPI-Signal wird über einen Modulator in ein optisches Signal umgewandelt und mittels einem optischen Signalleiter an dem nachgeschalteten LED-Converter weitergeleitet.The output time-critical SPI signal is converted into an optical signal via a modulator and passed on to the downstream LED converter via an optical signal conductor.

Der LED-Converter empfängt die Versorgungsspannung (beispielsweise 48 V DC) sowie das modulierte optische Signal. Die Versorgungsspannung wird mittels eines Spannungswandlers in eine Kleinspannung von 5 V DC umgewandelt und über Kontaktleitungen an die LED's der PCB-Bänder bzw. LED-Strips ausgegeben. Das modulierte optische Signal wird in einem Demodulator in ein SPI-Signal gewandelt und dieses über eine Signalleitung (SPI) den integrierten Schaltkreisen der LED's zuführt. Das von den LED's kommende SPI-Signal wird einem Modulator zugeführt, der das SPI-Signal in ein optisches Signal umwandelt und diese über einen optischen Signalleiter dem nachfolgenden LED Converter zuführt.The LED converter receives the supply voltage (for example 48 V DC) as well as the modulated optical signal. The supply voltage is converted into a low voltage of 5 V DC by means of a voltage converter and output via contact lines to the LEDs on the PCB strips or LED strips. The modulated optical signal is converted into an SPI signal in a demodulator and this signal is fed to the integrated circuits of the LEDs via a signal line (SPI). The SPI signal coming from the LEDs is fed to a modulator which converts the SPI signal into an optical signal and feeds this to the subsequent LED converter via an optical signal conductor.

Ein weiterer LED-Converter umfasst neben dem Demodulator, dem Spannungswandler und dem Modulator zusätzlich eine Auswerteschaltung, die mit einer Brandmeldeanlage (BMA) gekoppelt ist. Entsprechende Signale werden von der Brandmeldeanlage über Signalleitung BMA an die im LED-Converter 2 angeordneten Auswerteschaltung gesendet.In addition to the demodulator, the voltage converter and the modulator, another LED converter also includes an evaluation circuit that is coupled to a fire alarm system (BMA). Corresponding signals are sent from the fire alarm system to the evaluation circuit arranged in the LED converter 2 via the BMA signal line.

Bei einem Brandalarm wird das vom Demodulator an die Auswerteschaltung ausgegebene SPI-Signal abgeschaltet und nach Durchlauf eines Alarmprogramms in der Auswerteschaltung ein neues SPI-Signal an die LED's der PCD-Bänder bzw. LED-Strips ausgegeben. Mit Hilfe des von der Auswerteschaltung im Brandfall ausgegebene SPI-Signal können die LED's beispielsweise als Lauflichter betrieben werden, um die Fluchtrichtung der Rettungswege zu kennzeichnen.In the event of a fire alarm, the SPI signal output by the demodulator to the evaluation circuit is switched off and, after an alarm program has been run in the evaluation circuit, a new SPI signal is output to the LEDs on the PCD strips or LED strips. With the help of the SPI signal output by the evaluation circuit in the event of a fire, the LEDs can be operated, for example, as running lights to mark the escape direction of the escape routes.

Die LED-Converter können mit zusätzlichen Funktionen ausgerüstet sein, wobei diese darin besteht bei Spannungsausfall auf Akkumulatorbetrieb umzuschalten. Dazu ist in den LED-Convertern eine Akkumulator-Ladesteuerung sowie die Möglichkeit mindestens einen Akkumulator an den LED-Converter über einen Steckkontakt anzuschließen.The LED converters can be equipped with additional functions, which consist in switching to battery operation in the event of a power failure. For this purpose, the LED converters have an accumulator charge control and the option of connecting at least one accumulator to the LED converter via a plug contact.

Anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels soll die Anordnung zum Ansteuern von LED's und deren Hauptbestandteile näher beschrieben werden.The arrangement for controlling LEDs and their main components will be described in more detail using an exemplary embodiment.
