Abstract

The subject of the invention is an EIB module, which consists of a universal, programmable bus connector and a terminal device with up to four input or output channels. A test button (T1) and a signal diode (D1) are assigned to each channel. Also, a logical switch (20) is provided, the bus control signal (BS) is present at one of its inputs, and the test signal (TS), which is triggered by the test button (T1) being pressed, is present at its other input (22). An actuator simulation signal (AS1) then appears at the output (23) e.g. of an output channel, and causes a relay (RL) to pick up, following which a supply voltage is present at an actuator clamp (A1). The switch (20) is an OR gate, which is connected so that the bus control signal (BS) which is present at the input (21) has priority over the test signal (TS). The signal diode (D1) is connected between the line (23) with the actuator simulation signal (AS1) and the internal power supply. <IMAGE>

110147

The present invention relates to an EIB module consisting of a universal bus connector 5 and a user-specific terminal device according to the preamble of claim 1 having up to four input and output channels.

In the field of building installation technology, the European Installation Bus (EIB), defined by the European Installation Bus Association (EIBA), has become increasingly important. When in normal electrical installations each function requires its own management and each control system is a separate network, the EIB can, in conjunction with all operational functions and procedures, implement, connect, control, monitor and signal | with another lead. Energy is supplied to the user without detours. This saves on the wires; in addition, Building installations can be implemented in a much simpler way and can later be easily expanded and flexibly utilized.

The EIB bus consists of a two-wire cable and bus-mountable mounting devices for switchgear, ··· and surface mounted and actuator mounted • · »·; · 25, ie for lighting, blinds and heating devices. . ·. controls. Sensors, e.g., light emitters, luminosity and temperature sensors, wind gauges, etc., and actuators communicate with each other without * "* control panels.

The core of a typical EIB installation system is a centrally located distributor with its EIB base, system and drive. It is always equipped with EIB modules as needed. These EIB Module 35 laths have standard dimensions and are fixed to standard rails (DIN EN 50022), thereby simultaneously forming a pre-wired bus contact.

110147 2 Bus-mounted flush, surface and indoor installation equipment shall be installed at a point within the building where it is required to perform its function. Each bus device consists essentially of a universal bus connector and a user-specific terminal. The bus connector is parameterized to the terminal and can handle up to four functions. The input and output channels can be combined freely. For flush mounting devices, bus connectors and terminals are supplied separately; terminals, usually push switches, temperature sensors and the like are simply inserted.

The bus terminals and terminals are located either in a suitable housing for the switchgear or in the drive unit. They can also be connected using an adapter. This also requires specific sensors and actuators with pre-made wiring. However, if the installer wants to connect optional actuators and sensors to the EIB bus, he or she will need to perform extensive wiring work on site 20 using additional connectors, support points, sockets and the like.

This is all the more so since ordinary EIB modules have only no-voltage switching outputs and * »>; \ sensor inputs.

t 25 »» 1 1 · 1! As a result of the present invention, there is provided a solution to a task which is intended to simplify and shorten the "" "". V on-site work, whereby the task is solved by the 30 EIB modules in accordance with the characterization part of claim 1.

The advantage of this arrangement is that the installer finds a well-known connector arrangement to which he connects the three conductors L, N, PE of the electric cable. Installation and wiring of auxiliary connectors, auxiliary switches and the like will be omitted.

In accordance with a further preferred embodiment of the invention, in addition to the usual three switching terminals, a second voltage supply terminal L and / or a second neutral conductor terminal N is used. An additional zero-conductor connector N is particularly advantageous in the output channels so that the voltage-specific switching contact can be converted, if necessary, into a second-voltage switching contact to which the desired current circuits and voltages can be connected.

The latter operation is easy to carry out, in particular when, according to a further embodiment of the invention, at least one factory wiring wire between each block-15 block is detachable.

In particular, the EIB module may be used in electrical installation ducts described, for example, in DE-C-25 16 404, which are commonly used worldwide. For this purpose, the EIB-20 module is integrated into the electrical installation duct mounting element as described, for example, in DE-U-92 03 064. This arrangement is the subject of claim 16 and its further forms subject to claims 17 and 18.

The invention will now be described in more detail by way of exemplary embodiments, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Fig. 1 is a plan view of an electrical installation duct having a mounting element 30 and an associated EIB module therein;

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the mounting element of Fig. 1 and the cover thereof; V * 35; t >> · Figure 3 is a first embodiment of an output channel connector arrangement and wiring; ί 110147 4

Fig. 4 is another embodiment of an output channel connector arrangement and wiring; and

Figure 5 is an exemplary embodiment of input channel connector arrangement and wiring.

Figure 1 is a plan view of the electrical installation duct 7 with the cover removed. The EIB line 6 is connected to the bus connector 1. The lower part 10 of the mounting element 10 is attached to the rear wall of the channel, to which the mounting devices are removably attached, as will be described in greater detail with respect to Fig. 2.

The actual EIB module comprises a programmable universal bus connector 1 and an associated terminal device 2, which here consists of four output channels having switch contacts, each of which is activated by RL1, RL2, RL3, R14. The bus connector 1 and the end device 2 are secured to the printed circuit board 3, which itself is attached to the lower part 10 of the mounting element.

. The printed circuit board 3 is furthermore fitted with a three-pole connector block 4 and a multi-pole connector block 5.

*; The three-pole connector block 4 serves as the connector for a standard power cable '25 KO. The multipole terminal block 5 can be connected with conventional power switching cables, whereby for the sake of clarity, only the cable K4 belonging to the output channel 4: is shown in the figure. The terminals L, N, PE of the same name in each connector block 4, 5 are wired to printed circuit board 30 by printed circuit members 30. The output terminals A1, A2, A3, A4 are each connected to a relay-controlled switch contact. The strain relief 11,; t secures the wires KO, K4 in place.

As shown in the drawing, each channel V 35 1 and 2 has five terminals and each channel 3 and 4 e.g.

: three connectors. The operation resulting from this arrangement is described in more detail in connection with Figures 3 and 4.

110147 5 j The test panel 13 adjacent to the bus connector 1 has two very useful arrangements for the installer, comprising the LEDs D1, D2, D3, D4 for each of the four output channels and the test buttons T1, T2, T3, T4. The indicator diodes D1 ... D4 light up when a specific bus switching signal is detected for each channel. This way, the installer will immediately know if there is a problem with the bus side. By pressing one of the test buttons T1 ... T4, the installer can additionally activate the corresponding relay RL1 ... RL4, thereby activating the actuator connected to the respective terminal block. This test can also be performed when the EIB or bus connector 1 has not yet been programmed, in which case the wiring performance of the interface can be tested beforehand. In addition, in the event of an actuator fault, the installer can then determine with certainty whether the cause of the fault can be found on the bus side or on the wiring side.

Figure 2 is a perspective exploded view of the mounting element of Figure 1 with the ElB module 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 shown. The figure shows the lower part 10 and the strain reliefs 11, as well as two cover mounting lugs 12.

The tray-like upper portion 13 may be placed over the lower portion 10. The removable attachment of the lower part 10 and the cover 13 takes place by means of a locking lug 15 formed on the tongues 14, which themselves themselves are connected to the cover 13 by membrane hinges. The breakable openings 16 allow the cable to run smoothly through-30.

Figure 3 shows, as a first exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 ;;; connector arrangement for the output channels. Connector block 4 with three terminals L, '· t N, PE has three poles: 35 connected power supply line KO. The wiring between the connector block 4 and the multi-pole connector block 5 takes place on the one hand via printed circuit board conductors (solid lines) j 110147 6 and on the other hand through the external conductors 7.N, 7.L (dotted dotted lines). This mixed wiring provides the possibility of external wiring 7.N, 7.N by disconnecting a voltage potential independent of voltage supply to the output terminals A1, A2 of the output terminals A1, A2. This would not be possible only with channels 3 and 4 connected via printed circuit sections.

The connection between each output channel connector and the actuators AR1, AR2, AR3, AR4 is accomplished by means of standard three-wire connecting wires K1, K2, K3, K4, which are easy to install quickly and securely without external support points.

Figure 4 shows another embodiment for the output channels. Here, in each case, two output channels I, II and III, IV respectively are interconnected and locked so that two drive motors can be controlled, e.g. for roller shutters, whereby the terminal block 5 'and the actuators are connected via four-wire connecting lines K5, K6. Here too, only simple wiring is required at this installation site. 1 2 3 »| · Figure 5 shows the connector arrangement and wiring: · 25 exemplary four input channels E1, E2, E3, E4 pin 2 ;; ··; ten. The terminals 3 L, N, PE of each of the connector blocks 4, 5 '' having the same name are fixedly connected to one another via printed circuit sections. The four external sensors SRI, SR2, SR3, SR4 are connected to the respective terminals via the four-conductor connecting cables K7, K8, K9, 30 K10. Again, no support connectors are needed, and wiring work is quick and reliable.
