Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pattern group setting device used in a multiplex transmission system for controlling and monitoring a controlled load using multiplex transmission signals. 2. Description of the Related Art FIGS. 7A and 7B show a system configuration of a conventional illumination control system including a multiplex transmission system. Since the systems (a) and (b) have the same basic configuration, the system (a) will be described here. The system A transmits a time-division multiplexed transmission signal including data such as address data and control data by sequentially accessing the addresses of terminals connected to the system to provide control data to the terminals. A lighting control unit 1A having a function of returning data on a lighting load and a state of an operation switch from the side;
A is connected via the transmission line 4 and a time division multiplex transmission signal including the set own address data is transmitted from the illumination control unit 1A via the transmission line 4 and included in the time division multiplex transmission signal. Control data to be turned on / off based on the control data for the connected lighting load, and data indicating the operating state of the lighting load is returned in a time-division multiplexed transmission signal. When the terminal 3T1 having the function of sending to the illumination control unit 1A via the transmission line 4 during the standby period or the operation switch attached thereto is operated, when its own address is accessed by the time division multiplex transmission signal, The operation load of the operation switch is sent out to the illumination control unit 1A in the return signal standby period and sent to the illumination control unit 1A. When the control data for performing display corresponding to the operation state is sent, the terminal 3 having the function of controlling the operation display unit are additionally provided captures control data
T2, a plurality of lighting loads controlled by the system are grouped, and a terminal 3T1 corresponding to a lighting load to be controlled by a group for simultaneously turning on / off the lighting loads belonging to the group and an operation switch for operating the terminal 3T1. When registering the address of the corresponding terminal 3T2 in the table of the lighting control unit 1A, or performing pattern lighting by turning on or off a predetermined lighting load, the terminal 3T1 corresponding to the target lighting load for each pattern and , A pattern group used for registering the address of the terminal 3T2 corresponding to the operation switch for operating the same in the lighting control unit 1A (hereinafter, the pattern group is abbreviated as PG)
And a setting unit 2PGA. As shown in FIG. 8, a PG setting unit 2PGA has keys (not shown) for setting PG setting contents by key operation and a display (not shown) for displaying the setting contents.
, A multiplex transmission signal processing unit 2-4 for performing transmission / reception processing of a time-division multiplex transmission signal, PG setting data and a multiplex transmission signal set on the operation display unit 2-3. PG setting storage section 2-5 for storing PG setting data from illumination control unit 1A received from processing section 2-4.
And a PG setting processing unit 2-1 for reading and writing PG setting data to and from the PG setting storage unit 2-5, and a part of the processing is added / changed to meet customer needs. (Transmission procedure and corresponding terminal) correspond to an illumination control unit including a transmission unit (not shown) which is the same, and a PG setting processing unit 2-1 determines a process by switching the switch. -2. Here, the difference between the lighting control unit 1A and the lighting control unit 1B is that the processing procedure of PG setting and the number of corresponding lighting control terminals are different, and there is no difference in basic functions. [0006] However, as described above, the lighting control unit has a different PG setting processing procedure and a different number of corresponding lighting control terminals depending on its type. Further, the lighting control unit and the PG setting device are paired, and the PG setting cannot be performed unless a PG setting device corresponding to the type of the lighting control unit is used. That is, in the conventional case, as shown in FIG. 7A, the illumination control unit 1A includes a PG setter 2PGA.
PG cannot be set without using the PG. As shown in FIG. 7B, the lighting control unit 1B includes a PG setter 2PGB.
PG setting was not possible without using. There are the following problems (1) and (2) as problems of the PG setting in the conventional environment. (1) Since the PG cannot be set unless a PG setting device corresponding to the lighting control unit is used, the type of the lighting control unit used is determined by directly looking at the lighting control unit or viewing the construction materials. I had to confirm. (2) Transferring the PG setting data from an arbitrary lighting control unit to another type of lighting control unit is inconvenient.
Check the PG setting data of an arbitrary lighting control unit, print (or write down) the contents thereof, and manually input the PG setting data to a PG setting device corresponding to another type of lighting control unit.
The setter had to be connected to the system (lighting control unit) and set.
