Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to an emergency light control system using a DALI communication protocol,

The present invention relates to an emergency light control system, and more particularly, to an emergency light control system using a DALI communication protocol capable of controlling an emergency light by a DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) communication protocol and a control apparatus thereof.

In general, emergency lights are installed in the corridors and stairs of buildings, and in emergency situations such as power outages, earthquakes, and fires, power is supplied from the self-generator installed in the building to light up the interior or secure the safety by guiding the emergency passage .

Emergency lights currently in use are connected to the building's power supply, so the emergency light is normally turned on by the building power (ie, commercial power). However, once a power failure or an emergency occurs, power is not supplied from the building, and the emergency light is supplied by the emergency battery built in the emergency light, and the emergency light is turned on to guide people to the emergency door.

Therefore, in case of an emergency, the emergency light is turned on for one to two hours by the battery built in the emergency light, and when the battery is completely discharged after the elapse of the time, the light emergency light is also turned off.

Accordingly, the fire fighting system periodically checks the fire to check the discharge state of such a battery. When inspecting firefighting like this, an official of firefighting organization usually goes out and checks the equipment and emergency light related to firefighting while going through the building.

However, this is very unreasonable and time consuming. In addition, it is very inconvenient and labor-intensive and time-consuming because it is impossible to check the state of the emergency light or the state of the battery without checking the emergency light installed every day.

Therefore, there is a demand for a system that can easily confirm the state of the emergency light or the state of the battery without manually checking each emergency light installed in the building.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Hereinafter, a detailed description according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an emergency light control system using a DALI communication protocol according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a detailed configuration of a DALI ballast according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a system according to the present invention may include an administrator server 100, a communication network 110, a plurality of emergency light devices 130, and a user terminal 120.

The emergency lighting apparatus 130 may include an emergency light controller 131, a DALI ballast 132, and an LED lighting 133 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The manager server 100 is connected to one or more emergency light controllers 131 by wire / wireless communication and each emergency light controller 131 is connected to one or more DALI stabilizers 132 by a DALI communication scheme. The manager server 100 may centrally control or manage one or more emergency light controllers 131 via the communication network 110 and each emergency light controller 131 may control one or more DALI The ballast 132 can be integrally controlled or managed.

The DALI stabilizer 132 is a control device that drives the LED illumination 133 based on a control message transmitted from the emergency light controller 131 through DALI communication. FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating one embodiment of DALI ballast 132. FIG. 2, the DALI ballast 132 may include an illumination driver 230, a power supply 220, and a DALI illumination controller 210.

The illumination driver 230 drives the LED illumination 133 according to the control signal of the DALI illumination controller 210. The LED illumination 133 may be, for example, a red LED, a green LED, and a blue LED that represent a white LED and / or three primary colors of light. The LED illumination 133 may also include a lamp that is driven in a different manner from an LED, such as a halogen lamp or a xenon lamp. The illumination driving unit 230 may perform driving operations such as ON / OFF control, dimming control, and color control of the LED illumination 133. For example, if the LED illumination 133 is an LED, the dimming control may include sequential information on the DC drive voltage between 0 and 10 V, and may be applied to each of the red, green, and blue LEDs And may include information on the DC driving voltage.

The power supply unit 220 supplies power required for driving the illumination driving unit 230 according to a control signal of the DALI lighting control unit 210. The power supply unit 220 may be a voltage converter using the AC power as it is, or may be a Switching Mode Power Suppy (SMPS) that converts AC power to DC power and supplies power by a switching method. In particular, LEDs are driven by a low DC driving voltage as compared with other types of lamps, and the possibility of breakage due to unstable DC driving voltage is high. Accordingly, when an illumination device including an LED is employed, the power supply unit 220 preferably includes an SMPS capable of supplying a constant DC driving voltage without being affected by variations in an external voltage.

The DALI illumination control unit 210 receives a control message transmitted from the emergency light controller 131 and generates a control signal for controlling the power supply unit 220 and the illumination driving unit 230 from the control message. For example, the control signal may include information for adjusting the magnitude of the direct current driving voltage generated in the power supply unit 220 for the illumination control or the dimming control. In addition, it may include information for turning on / off a driving signal of the illumination driving unit 230 to turn on / off the LED lighting 133. Also, the DALI illumination control unit 210 can transmit status information such as the illuminance and the failure status of the current illumination apparatus to the emergency light controller 131 through the DALI communication.

The emergency light controller 131 generates a control message for controlling the DALI ballast 132 based on the control information transmitted from the administrator server 100 and transmits the control message to the DALI ballast 132. [ 3 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the emergency-light controller 131. As shown in Fig.

3, the emergency light controller 131 includes a charge remaining amount information receiving unit 301, a communication protocol converting unit 302, a commercial power supply unit 303, a rechargeable battery 304, a charge control unit 305, The LED power supply unit 306, the control message generator 307, the illumination information receiver 308, the storage unit 309, the stabilizer communication unit 310, the local communication unit 311, the speaker 312, .

First, the communication protocol converting unit 302 performs a protocol converting function for communication with the administrator server 100, and the ballast communicating unit 310 provides an interface for communication with the DALI ballast 132.

The control message generator 307 generates a control message based on the control information and the status information. The emergency light controller 131 may further include a storage unit 309 for storing status information and control information.

Meanwhile, the ballast communicator 310 is connected to the DALI ballast 132 through DALI communication. That is, the ballast communicator 310 receives a control message for controlling the operation of the DALI ballast 132 from the control message generator 307 and transmits the control message to the DALI ballast 132 using the DALI communication. Also, it receives the status information of the components (e.g., LED lighting 133) connected by the DALI communication and provides the status information to the illumination information receiving unit 308.

The communication protocol converter 302 receives the control information for controlling the DALI ballast 132 through the wired or wireless communication in the communication with the manager server 100 and generates the status information received from the DALI ballast 132 From the control message generator 307 and transmits the control message to the manager server 100. [ That is, the communication protocol converting unit 302 transmits the control information received from the administrator server 100 to the control message generating unit 307 to generate a control message.

The control message generating unit 307 generates a control message for controlling the LED illumination unit 133 based on the status information and the control information received from the communication protocol converting unit 302 and transmits the generated control message to the ballast communication unit 310 to the LED lighting 133. In addition, the control message generator 307 may transmit the status information, the control information, and the generated control message to the storage unit 309 for storage and storage.

On the other hand, a plurality of DALI stabilizers 132 may be connected to one emergency light controller 131. In this case, a ballast address is assigned to each of the plurality of DALI ballasts 132. [ The emergency light controller 131 can control each of the plurality of DALI stabilizers 132 by transmitting a control message including the ballast address through the DALI communication.

The plurality of DALI ballasts 132 are divided into a plurality of ballast groups each including one or more DALI ballasts 132, and can be controlled for each group. For example, when there are a plurality of control spaces provided with a plurality of illuminators and a plurality of DALI ballasts 132 for driving the plurality of illuminators, a plurality of DALI ballasts 132 installed in each control space are grouped into one group And can be group-controlled to produce a scene suitable for the use of the entire control space. In this case, the emergency light controller 131 can control a plurality of DALI ballasts 132 by group by transmitting a control message including the group information and the ballast address through the DALI communication. In general, DALI ballast 132 can be controlled up to 64 by one emergency light controller 131, and can be divided into a maximum of 16 groups.

The administrator server 100 generates control information based on information received from a user. The manager server 100 controls the DALI ballast 132 by being connected to each emergency light controller 131 through the communication network and receiving status information and transmitting control information. The manager server 100 may be connected to a plurality of emergency light controllers 131. In this case, each of the plurality of emergency-light controllers 131 is assigned a master address. Using the master address and the ballast address, the administrator server 100 can control a plurality of DALI masters and a plurality of ballasts individually.

On the other hand, the control information of the LED illumination 133 can be generated by the administrator server 100. [ To generate the control information, the administrator server 100 may be provided with a user interface such as a keyboard input device. The setting values for generating the control information may be input to the manager server 100 through the user interface. The set value may be input to the administrator server 100 through an external client connected to the administrator server 100 through the communication network 110. [ The external client may include, for example, a portable wireless communication terminal such as a cellular phone, a smart phone, and the like. The set value is transmitted to the emergency light controller 131 via wired / wireless communication in the form of control information together with the master address and the ballast address. The wired / wireless communication between the manager server 100 and the emergency light controller 131 may be near-field or remote communication in the form of RS-232, RS-485, USB, Ethernet or RF (Radio Frequency).

The control information transmitted from the manager server 100 to the emergency light controller 131 may include schedule data for allowing the emergency light controller 131 to control the DALI ballast 132 at a specific time. The emergency light controller 131 manages the schedule data transmitted from the manager server 100 and transmits a control message for operating the DALI ballast 132 to the DALI ballast 132 according to the schedule data. For example, the emergency light controller 131 may increase the illuminance of the bedroom in accordance with the weather time, shut off the power supply after a predetermined time elapses after the sunset, or change the schedule after the user leaves The DALI ballast 132 can be controlled to shut off the power supply when the time has elapsed. The emergency light controller 131 is required to set a real time clock (RTC) in order to manage such schedule data.

The communication network 110 may be configured without regard to its communication mode such as wired and wireless, and may be a personal area network (PAN), a local area network (LAN), a metropolitan area Network), a wide area network (WAN), and the like. Also, the communication network 110 may be a known World Wide Web (WWW) and may use a wireless transmission technique used for short-distance communication such as Infrared Data Association (IrDA) or Bluetooth It is possible. Preferably, the communication network 110 may be an Internet network, in particular a WAN.

The charge control unit 305 performs a function of supplying the power provided from the commercial power supply unit 303 or the rechargeable battery 304 to the DALI ballast 132 through the LED power supply unit 306 according to the embodiment of the present invention .

When the commercial power is normally supplied, the charge control unit 305 controls the LED power supply unit 306 to supply power to the commercial power supply unit 303. At this time, the commercial power provided through the commercial power supply unit 303 may be supplied to the rechargeable battery 304 to charge the battery. On the other hand, when the power is not supplied from the commercial power supply unit 303, the power is supplied from the rechargeable battery 304 and supplied to the LED power supply unit 306 in an emergency.

Meanwhile, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the charge control unit 305 provides charge state information of the rechargeable battery 304 to the charge remaining amount information receiving unit 301. The charge remaining amount information receiving unit 301 provides the provided charge status information to the control message generating unit 307. [ The control message generating unit 307 generates the control information of the provided charge remaining amount information as a control message and transmits a control message for the generated charge remaining amount information to the manager server 100 through the communication protocol converting unit 302. [ By doing so, the administrator server 100 can check the charging / discharging state of the rechargeable battery 304 of the emergency light controller 131 in real time.

The control message generator 307 generates the control status information or the remaining charge information of the rechargeable battery 304 provided from the rechargeable battery information receiver 301 together with the control message Alternatively, each information may be generated as a separate control message and transmitted. In addition, the control message generator 307 may store the provided charge remaining amount information in the storage unit 309. [

Meanwhile, the communication protocol conversion unit 302 performs a protocol conversion process so that the control message generated from the control message generation unit 307 can be transmitted to the administrator server 100 through the communication network 110. For example, DALI communication protocol data can be converted into TCP / IP communication protocol data so that data can be transmitted over the Internet network.

In addition, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the short range communication unit 311 may perform short range wireless communication with the user terminal 120 of the operator, and may transmit the light status information stored in the storage unit 309 Charge remaining amount information, and the like may be provided to the user terminal 120. [

In addition, the manager server 100 can provide a push service to a terminal of a fire manager or a terminal of a building manager, which is set in advance. That is, when an abnormality occurs from the illumination status information of each LED illumination provided to the manager server 100 or the recharging remaining amount information of the rechargeable battery, the push alarm service can be provided to the preset user terminal. This makes it possible to manage the emergency light easily, and it is possible to perform the maintenance of the emergency light in a short period of time, thereby effectively managing the emergency light.

In addition, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the emergency light controller 131 may further include a speaker 312 to inform the position of the emergency exit by voice during a power failure or an emergency. More specifically, since power is not supplied from the commercial power supply unit 303 at the time of a power failure, the charge control unit 305 determines this and outputs a voice message input through the speaker 312 in advance. At this time, in the storage unit 309, for example, "the position of the emergency exit is XXX." And then outputs the message through the speaker 312 during the power failure or emergency.

In addition, since control messages can be basically transmitted and received between the emergency light controller 131 and the administrator server 100, when the emergency situation or the evacuation occurs, the manager server 100 transmits a message informing each emergency light controller 131 of the emergency situation May be transmitted over the communication network 110. Accordingly, the emergency light controller 131 outputs the voice message stored in advance in the storage unit 309 through the speaker 312 according to the message provided from the administrator server 100, thereby notifying the location of the emergency exit in the case of power failure or emergency There is a number.

In the meantime, the respective components of the DALI ballast 132 and the emergency light controller 131 are separately shown in the drawing to indicate that they can be functionally and logically separated, and they may be physically separate components or may be separate codes It is not meant to be implemented.
