(実施形態１)
本実施形態の照明システムは、図１に示すように１台のコントローラ１と複数台(図示は３台のみ)の照明器具２を有している。照明器具２は、蛍光ランプや発光ダイオードからなる光源20と、光源20を保持する器具本体(図示せず)とを備え、例えば、器具本体が天井に取り付けられることで照明空間(事務所など)に設置される。 (Embodiment 1)
As shown in FIG. 1, the lighting system of the present embodiment has one controller 1 and a plurality of lighting fixtures 2 (only three are shown). The lighting fixture 2 includes a light source 20 composed of a fluorescent lamp or a light emitting diode, and a fixture main body (not shown) that holds the light source 20, for example, an illumination space (office or the like) by attaching the fixture main body to the ceiling Installed.

コントローラ１は、光源20を点灯する点灯装置10と、点灯装置10を制御する制御部11と、制御部11に対してトリガを与えるトリガ入力部12とを備える。点灯装置10は、外部電源(商用交流電源)100から給電線101を介して給電される交流電力を光源20の点灯電力(蛍光ランプでは高周波交流電力、発光ダイオードでは直流電力)に変換し、変換した点灯電力を電力線３を介して照明器具２に供給する。ここで、各照明器具２の光源20が電力線３に対して互いに並列接続されている。   The controller 1 includes a lighting device 10 that lights the light source 20, a control unit 11 that controls the lighting device 10, and a trigger input unit 12 that gives a trigger to the control unit 11. The lighting device 10 converts the AC power supplied from the external power source (commercial AC power source) 100 through the feeder line 101 into the lighting power of the light source 20 (high frequency AC power for fluorescent lamps, DC power for light emitting diodes), and converts The lighting power thus supplied is supplied to the lighting fixture 2 through the power line 3. Here, the light sources 20 of the respective lighting fixtures 2 are connected in parallel to the power line 3.

トリガ入力部12は、照明空間における人の存否を検出する人感センサや照明空間の明るさを検出する明るさセンサ、あるいは可変抵抗器等を利用して調光レベルを設定する調光器などで構成される。明るさセンサで構成されるトリガ入力部12は、明るさセンサで検出される明るさが所定のしきい値よりも低く(暗く)なったとき及びしきい値よりも明るくあったときにトリガ信号を制御部11に出力する。また、人感センサで構成されるトリガ入力部12は、人感センサで人の存在が検出されたときにトリガ信号を制御部11に出力する。さらに、調光器で構成されるトリガ入力部12は、設定された調光レベルを示すトリガ信号(調光信号)を制御部11に出力する。   The trigger input unit 12 is a human sensor that detects the presence or absence of a person in the illumination space, a brightness sensor that detects the brightness of the illumination space, or a dimmer that sets a dimming level using a variable resistor, etc. Consists of. The trigger input unit 12 composed of a brightness sensor is a trigger signal when the brightness detected by the brightness sensor is lower (darker) than a predetermined threshold and brighter than the threshold. Is output to the control unit 11. In addition, the trigger input unit 12 configured by a human sensor outputs a trigger signal to the control unit 11 when the presence of a person is detected by the human sensor. Further, the trigger input unit 12 configured by a dimmer outputs a trigger signal (a dimming signal) indicating the set dimming level to the control unit 11.

制御部11は、例えば、マイクロコントローラと当該マイクロコントローラで実行されるプログラム(ソフトウェア)とで構成され、トリガ入力部12から入力されるトリガ信号に応じて、点灯装置10のオン・オフや点灯電力の増減(調光)などの制御を行う。例えば、明るさセンサからトリガ信号が入力されると、制御部11は点灯装置10の状態を反転させる。つまり、明るさがしきい値よりも暗くなると制御部11が点灯装置10をオンして全照明器具２の光源20を点灯し、反対に明るさがしきい値よりも明るくなると制御部11が点灯装置10をオフして全照明器具２の光源20を消灯するのである。   The control unit 11 includes, for example, a microcontroller and a program (software) executed by the microcontroller, and the lighting device 10 is turned on / off and lighting power in accordance with a trigger signal input from the trigger input unit 12. Control such as increase / decrease (dimming). For example, when a trigger signal is input from the brightness sensor, the control unit 11 inverts the state of the lighting device 10. That is, when the brightness becomes darker than the threshold value, the control unit 11 turns on the lighting device 10 to turn on the light sources 20 of all the luminaires 2, and conversely, when the brightness becomes brighter than the threshold value, the control unit 11 turns on the lighting device 10. The light source 20 of all the lighting fixtures 2 is turned off by turning off.

而して、本実施形態の照明システムでは、コントローラ１の点灯装置10から供給される点灯電力で全ての照明器具２の光源20が点灯するので、従来例のように個々の照明器具２に安定器(点灯装置)を備える必要が無く、また、コントローラ１と複数台の照明器具２が１系統の電力線３のみで接続可能である。故に、複数台の照明器具にそれぞれ点灯装置が搭載されるとともに電力線と信号線の２種類の電線が配線されていた従来例と比較して、本実施形態の照明システムは、配線工事の簡略化と費用の低減を図ることができる。   Thus, in the lighting system of the present embodiment, the light sources 20 of all the lighting fixtures 2 are lit by the lighting power supplied from the lighting device 10 of the controller 1, so that each lighting fixture 2 is stable as in the conventional example. It is not necessary to provide a lighting device (lighting device), and the controller 1 and a plurality of lighting fixtures 2 can be connected by only one power line 3. Therefore, compared with the conventional example in which the lighting device is mounted on each of a plurality of lighting fixtures and two types of electric wires, that is, a power line and a signal line, are wired, the lighting system of the present embodiment simplifies the wiring work. And cost reduction.

ここで、図２に示すようにコントローラ１に光源13を設けることでコントローラ１自体を照明器具２として構成しても構わない。なお、コントローラ１の光源13もコントローラ１の点灯装置10から点灯電力が供給されて点灯することは言うまでもない。   Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the controller 1 itself may be configured as the lighting fixture 2 by providing the controller 1 with the light source 13. Needless to say, the light source 13 of the controller 1 is also turned on when the lighting power is supplied from the lighting device 10 of the controller 1.

(実施形態２)
本実施形態の照明システムは、図３に示すようにコントローラ１の点灯装置10から供給される点灯電力を増幅する電力増幅器４がコントローラ１と照明器具２との間の電力線３に接続されて構成されている。但し、本実施形態におけるコントローラ１や照明器具２の構成は実施形態１と共通であるから、共通の構成要素には同一の符号を付して図示並びに説明を省略する。 (Embodiment 2)
As shown in FIG. 3, the lighting system of the present embodiment is configured by connecting a power amplifier 4 that amplifies lighting power supplied from the lighting device 10 of the controller 1 to a power line 3 between the controller 1 and the lighting fixture 2. Has been. However, since the configurations of the controller 1 and the lighting fixture 2 in the present embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and illustration and description thereof are omitted.

電力増幅器４は外部電源100から給電線101を介して給電されて動作し、電力線３を介して供給される点灯電力を増幅して照明器具２に出力する。このような電力増幅器４は、例えば、従来周知であるプッシュプル型の電力増幅回路などを用いて実現される。   The power amplifier 4 operates by being supplied with power from the external power source 100 through the power supply line 101, amplifies the lighting power supplied through the power line 3, and outputs the amplified power to the lighting fixture 2. Such a power amplifier 4 is realized using, for example, a conventionally known push-pull type power amplifier circuit.

このように本実施形態の照明システムは、コントローラ１の点灯装置10から供給される点灯電力が電力増幅器４で増幅されて照明器具２に供給されるので、１台のコントローラ１に接続可能な照明器具２の台数を増やすことができる。なお、図３ではコントローラ１に対して電力線３を介して３台の電力増幅器４が並列接続されているが、電力増幅器４が１台あるいは４台以上接続されていても構わない。   As described above, in the lighting system of the present embodiment, the lighting power supplied from the lighting device 10 of the controller 1 is amplified by the power amplifier 4 and supplied to the lighting fixture 2. The number of appliances 2 can be increased. In FIG. 3, three power amplifiers 4 are connected in parallel to the controller 1 via the power line 3, but one power amplifier 4 or four or more power amplifiers 4 may be connected.

(実施形態３)
本実施形態の照明システムは、図４に示すようにコントローラ１の制御部11を制御する上位コントローラ５を有している。但し、本実施形態におけるコントローラ１や照明器具２の構成は実施形態１と共通であるから、共通の構成要素には同一の符号を付して図示並びに説明を省略する。 (Embodiment 3)
As shown in FIG. 4, the lighting system of the present embodiment includes a host controller 5 that controls the controller 11 of the controller 1. However, since the configurations of the controller 1 and the lighting fixture 2 in the present embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and illustration and description thereof are omitted.

本実施形態の照明システムでは、複数台(図示例では３台)のコントローラ１が信号線６を介して上位コントローラ５と接続されており、上位コントローラ５から信号線６を介して伝送される制御信号により、各コントローラ１の制御部11が点灯装置10を制御する。   In the illumination system according to the present embodiment, a plurality of (three in the illustrated example) controllers 1 are connected to the host controller 5 via the signal line 6 and are transmitted from the host controller 5 via the signal line 6. The controller 11 of each controller 1 controls the lighting device 10 by the signal.

上位コントローラ５は、明るさセンサや人感センサあるいは調光器などを備え、これらのセンサや調光器から出力されるトリガ信号に応じて個々のコントローラ１に対する制御信号を作成し、当該制御信号を信号線６を介して伝送する。なお、各コントローラ１には固有の識別符号が割り当てられており、上位コントローラ５から伝送される制御信号の宛先アドレスに設定される識別符号と一致するコントローラ１のみが当該制御信号を受信して点灯装置10を制御する。   The host controller 5 includes a brightness sensor, a human sensor, a dimmer, and the like, creates control signals for the individual controllers 1 according to trigger signals output from these sensors and dimmers, and controls the control signals. Is transmitted via the signal line 6. Each controller 1 is assigned a unique identification code, and only the controller 1 that matches the identification code set in the destination address of the control signal transmitted from the host controller 5 receives the control signal and lights up. The device 10 is controlled.

而して、実施形態１，２の照明システムでは複数台の照明器具２が全て同じ状態にしか制御できないのに対して、本実施形態の照明システムでは、個々のコントローラ１に接続されている複数台(図示例では３台ずつ)の照明器具２が互いに異なる状態(点灯、消灯、調光レベル)に制御可能である。しかも、各コントローラ１と複数台の照明器具２との間には電力線３のみが配線されるため、従来例と比較して省配線化を図ることができる。なお、上位コントローラ５に接続されるコントローラ１の台数は３台に限定されるものではなく、また、各コントローラ１に接続される照明器具２の台数も３台に限定されない。   Thus, in the lighting systems of the first and second embodiments, the plurality of lighting fixtures 2 can all be controlled only in the same state, whereas in the lighting system of the present embodiment, the plurality of lighting fixtures 2 connected to the individual controllers 1 The lighting fixtures 2 of the tables (three in the illustrated example) can be controlled to different states (lighting, extinguishing, dimming level). In addition, since only the power line 3 is wired between each controller 1 and the plurality of lighting fixtures 2, it is possible to reduce wiring compared to the conventional example. The number of controllers 1 connected to the host controller 5 is not limited to three, and the number of lighting fixtures 2 connected to each controller 1 is not limited to three.
