  There are a plurality of lighting devices 200 each including a lamp 201 (light source) and a lighting fixture 210 to which the lamp 201 is attached. The lamp 201 is, for example, a fluorescent lamp, a high pressure discharge lamp, or an LED. The lighting fixture 210 has an initial illuminance correction function that increases the dimming rate of the lamp 201 so as to store the accumulated lighting time of the lamp 201 and compensate for the light flux of the lamp 201 that decreases with the passage of time. The lighting fixture 210 communicates with the host controller 400 via the wireless / wired conversion gateway 300. The lighting fixtures 210 are grouped by the controller 400 and receive commands from the controller 400 in units of groups. The lighting fixture 210 performs a predetermined operation such as lighting / extinguishing or dimming of the lamp 201 in response to a command from the controller 400. That is, the lighting fixture 210 is controlled by the controller 400 to perform a predetermined operation for each group. In a specific case such as when the lamp 201 is replaced, the lighting fixture 210 is temporarily divided from the controller 400 into a group different from the normal time, and receives a command from the controller 400 in units of the group. Then, the lighting fixture 210 performs a predetermined operation such as resetting the accumulated lighting time of the lamp 201 in response to a command from the controller 400. That is, the lighting fixture 210 is controlled to perform a predetermined operation for each temporary group by the controller 400 in a specific case.

  When grouped by the controller 400, the luminaire 210 receives from the controller 400 a communication frame that includes its own individual address as a destination. This communication frame includes data indicating that it is for group setting, and also includes the group number of the group set in the lighting fixture 210 as data for group setting. The individual address is an individual identifier assigned to each lighting fixture 210, and is, for example, a MAC (Media, Access, Control) address. The group number is a group identifier assigned to each group, and is represented by an integer, for example. The lighting fixture 210 sets a group number, which is group setting data, as its own group number.

  When being divided into temporary groups by the controller 400, the lighting fixture 210 receives a communication frame including its own individual address as a destination from the controller 400. The communication frame includes data indicating that it is for temporary setting, and also includes a group number of a temporary group set in the lighting fixture 210 as data for temporary setting. The lighting fixture 210 sets a group number, which is temporary setting data, as a temporary group number.

  When controlled by the controller 400, the luminaire 210 receives from the controller 400 a communication frame that includes either its own group number or temporary group number as a destination. This communication frame includes data indicating that it is for control, and as control data, a command for a predetermined operation such as lighting, extinguishing, dimming of the lamp 201, or resetting of the accumulated lighting time of the lamp 201 is given. Is included. The lighting fixture 210 performs a predetermined operation in response to a command that is control data. The luminaire 210 may receive only the communication frame including the temporary group number as the destination while the temporary group number is set. That is, a communication frame including its own group number as a destination may be ignored.

  There are one or more wireless / wired conversion gateways 300, each of which is connected to at least one lighting fixture 210 via a wired serial communication line. The wireless / wired conversion gateway 300 performs wired communication with the lighting fixture 210 and wireless communication with the controller 400 via a wired serial communication line. The wireless / wired conversion gateway 300 has a conversion function between wireless communication and wired communication, and relays communication between the lighting fixture 210 and the controller 400. The wireless / wired conversion gateway 300 may perform wired communication with a human sensor, an illuminance sensor, and the like in addition to the lighting fixture 210.

  The controller 400 divides the plurality of lighting fixtures 210 into groups, and controls so as to perform a predetermined operation for each group. The controller 400 manages the individual address, group number, control state, etc. of each lighting fixture 210. The controller 400 receives from the wireless remote controller 500, for example, instructions for turning on / off the lamp 201 and the dimming rate, a monitor request for the current dimming state, and a reset instruction for the accumulated lighting time. The controller 400 creates the above-described communication frame in accordance with the instruction or request received from the wireless remote controller 500, and transmits the created communication frame to the lighting fixture 210 via the wireless / wired conversion gateway 300. As a result, the controller 400 instructs the lighting fixture 210 to turn on / off the lamp 201 and instruct a dimming rate, monitor the dimming state of the lamp 201, and instruct to reset the accumulated lighting time of the lamp 201. To do. The controller 400 returns the result to the wireless remote controller 500 as a response. In addition to the wireless / wired conversion gateway 300 and the wireless remote controller 500, the controller 400 may perform wireless communication with other devices such as a human sensor and an illuminance sensor. The controller 400 may directly perform wireless communication or wired communication with the lighting fixture 210.

  The wireless remote controller 500 receives an operation by the user, and, for example, gives an instruction to turn on / off the lamp 201 and a dimming rate with respect to the lighting fixture 210, a monitor request for the current dimming state, and a reset instruction for the accumulated lighting time. Transmit to the controller 400. The wireless remote controller 500 receives a response from the controller 400 through wireless communication, and displays, for example, the instruction result and the monitor contents of the dimming state of the lamp 201 on the screen based on the response. A function similar to that of the controller 400 described above may be mounted on the wireless remote controller 500 so that the wireless remote controller 500 communicates with the lighting fixture 210 directly or via the wireless / wired conversion gateway 300.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a procedure for exchanging the lamp 201 with one lighting device 200 and resetting the lighting accumulated time for the lighting fixture 210.

  As a premise, it is assumed that the controller 400 is operated from the wireless remote controller 500, and the three lighting devices 200 of L1, L2, and L3 are set to the group G1 by the controller 400. All of L1, L2, and L3 record 1000 hours as the accumulated lighting time of the lamp 201.

  In FIG. 2A, the lamp 201 having only L1 is replaced. At this time, all of L1, L2, and L3 remain set to the group G1. Further, the cumulative lighting time of the lamp 201 recorded in L1, L2, and L3 remains 1000 hours.

  In FIG. 2B, the controller 400 is operated by the wireless remote controller 500, and only the L1 is set to the group G99 for individual reset by the controller 400. At this time, L2 and L3 remain set in the group G1. Further, the cumulative lighting time of the lamp 201 recorded in L1, L2, and L3 remains 1000 hours.

  In FIG. 2C, the controller 400 is operated from the wireless remote controller 500, and a reset instruction for instructing the group G99 to reset the lighting accumulated time is transmitted from the controller 400. In response to this reset instruction, only L1 set in the group G99 resets the accumulated lighting time of the lamp 201. As a result, the cumulative lighting time of the lamp 201 recorded in L1 becomes 0 hour. On the other hand, the cumulative lighting time of the lamp 201 recorded in L2 and L3 remains 1000 hours.

  In FIG. 2D, L1 that has completed resetting the accumulated lighting time of the lamp 201 automatically cancels the setting of the group G99. Thereby, the group set to L1 returns from the group G99 to the group G1.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the controller 400 collects a plurality of lighting fixtures 210 as one group and performs lighting / extinguishing control, dimming control, and the like in units of groups. However, the accumulated lighting time of the lamp 201 is reset. When instructing, a communication frame of the same format with the group number as the destination is used. Thereby, the program of the microcomputer mounted in the lighting fixture 210 and the controller 400 is simplified, and it leads to the reduction of the memory capacity and cost of the microcomputer.

  When the controller 400 instructs to reset the accumulated lighting time of the lamp 201, it is desirable to transmit a communication frame for that purpose only to the luminaire 210 that has replaced the lamp 201. Therefore, in this embodiment, the controller 400 temporarily sets a group number individually for the luminaire 210 for which the lamp 201 has been replaced, so that a normal group number used for dimming control or the like is set as the destination. It becomes possible to transmit a lighting cumulative time reset instruction only to the target lighting fixture 210 in the same format as the communication frame. The luminaire 210 that has received the reset instruction for the accumulated lighting time can automatically delete the group number for individual reset temporarily set immediately before and return the setting to the group number used in the normal control. .

  Replacing the lamp 201 is rarely performed for all of the lighting fixtures 210 set in one group at the same time. Usually, the lamp 201 is individually performed for the lamp 201 that cannot be turned on due to its life. Often done. According to the present embodiment, a group number for individual reset is provided, a group number for individual reset is set for the luminaire 210 for which the accumulated lighting time of the lamp 201 is to be reset, and the wireless remote controller 500 performs the corresponding group number. By instructing the reset, it is possible to execute the reset of the lighting accumulated time all at once for only the corresponding lighting fixture 210. In addition, since the lighting fixture 210 that has completed the reset operation automatically deletes the temporarily set group number for individual reset and returns the setting to the normal group number set before that, the wireless remote controller No special operation is required at 500.
