ADDRESS SETTING SYSTEM OF LIGHTING [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an address setting system for a luminaire, and more particularly, to an address setting system for a luminaire that allows a desired address to be easily and easily assigned to a desired luminaire after a luminaire is constructed .

In a lighting control system, when a plurality of luminaires are simultaneously connected to one system, each luminaires must be assigned a unique address in order to individually control a specific luminaires.

Therefore, conventionally, a dip switch is mounted on each luminaire, and an address is set by using a dip switch before the installation, or the address of each luminaire is set in advance at the time of shipment, and the shipment drawing shows the address of each luminaire. It also finds and attaches the luminaire at the address indicated in.

Any of the above methods requires careful attention to the work in the field and takes a lot of time.

Nevertheless, it was often erroneous construction, and it took a long time to correct it.

On the other hand, in a DALI (Digital Addressable Lightning Inter-Frame) system widely used as a lighting control system, if the same address exists in the same group, control may not be performed or communication failure may occur.

In the case of controlling illumination by unidirectional communication, there are cases in which the same address is given intentionally in some cases to perform the same operation. However, in order to perform a normal operation according to the designer's intention, precise work in the field is essential.

It is also conceivable to assign a unique address to the luminaire, but in order for the address to be unique, a considerable length of information is required, and the fact that such information is differently set in the control unit (CPU) of each luminaire at the time of manufacture This increases the workload and increases the management factor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

1 is a circuit block diagram of an address setting system of a luminaire according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, in the address setting system of the present invention,

An address setting means 110, a lighting control means 120 and at least one lamp unit 130-1 to 130-N.

The address setting means 110 is a movable device, and is positioned near the lamp so as to receive light emitted from an LED or the like of the lamp.

In addition, the address setting means 110 is a device which allows a user to set an address close to a luminaire to be set and operate the luminaire so that a user can easily set an address to the luminaire in real time.

The address setting means 111 includes a light receiving unit 111, a first control unit 112, a key input unit 113, a display unit 114 and a first communication unit 115.

The light receiving unit 111 includes a waveguide 111a for receiving light emitted from the LEDs 136 of the luminaire as shown in FIG. 2, and blocking the light from interfering with the light of other luminaire.

The waveguide 111a has an opening 111b at one end to receive light emitted from the lamp and a photosensor 111c at the other side to detect light from a lamp entering the waveguide 131a . However, it is not necessarily limited to such a structure.

The light receiving unit 111 senses the light emitted from the LED or the like of the selected lamp, or precisely, the blinking state, and generates a corresponding signal to input to the first control unit 112.

The first control unit 112 outputs a unique ID request command to all the luminaires by the illumination control unit 120 and extracts the unique ID information of the luminaires according to the blinking of the luminaires received from the light receiving unit 111, And gives an instruction to the lighting control means 120 so as to give an address set by the user to the unique ID of the lamp.

The key input unit 113 includes a plurality of numerals and function keys to set and input address information to be provided to the selected luminaire.

The display unit 114 displays an address set by the key input unit 113 and allows the user to check and correct the address.

The first communication unit 115 is a communication interface for transmitting a command output from the first control unit 112 to the lighting control unit 120. The first communication unit 115 is implemented in wired or wireless communication and is transmitted through the communication relay unit 140 give.

The lighting control means 120 detects a control signal inputted from the communication relay means 140 and outputs a series of signals for setting a general lighting control signal or an address to each of the lamps 130-1 to 130- And outputs the control signal.

Further, the lighting control means 120 requests a flashing output of an LED or the like to display its own ID to all the luminaires 130-1 to 130-N, so that a designated address is given to a luminaire having the unique ID Performs output that requires configuration.

Here, the communication relay unit 140 may include a program switch (Program S / W), an online network for receiving illumination control signals transmitted from the outside, various wireless communication means (WiFI, Bluetooth, RF, ZigBee, Such as an RS-485, and may be included in the illumination control means 120. [

The illumination control means 120 includes a second communication unit 121, a second control unit 122, and a third communication unit 123.

The second communication unit 121 receives the general illumination control signal input from the communication relay unit 140 or the address setting signal transmitted through the address setting unit 110 and inputs the signal to the second control unit 122.

The second control unit 122 outputs a flashing command such as an LED according to the unique ID to all the lamp units 130-1 to 130-N according to the address setting signal inputted from the address setting unit 110, And outputs an instruction to store an address set to " 0 ".

The third communication unit 123 transmits a control signal of the second control unit 122 to the luminaire through the communication line C. [

The lamps 130-1 to 130-N are connected to a power line P and are supplied with power. The lamps 130-1 to 130-N are controlled according to a control signal transmitted through the communication line C, Or perform a series of operations for address setting.

The lamps 130-1 to 130-N themselves generate a unique ID based on a random number or a register value of a central control unit (CPU), temporarily store the unique ID, Converts the signal corresponding to the generated unique ID into a blinking signal such as an LED, and then performs an operation of blinking and outputting an LED or the like.

In addition, the luminaire performs an operation of setting an address signal that is accompanied by the inherent ID input from the lighting control means 120 as its own address.

The lamp 130-1 includes a fourth communication unit 131, a third control unit 132, a storage unit 133, a power supply unit 134, an output unit 135, and LEDs 136.

The fourth communication unit 131 receives the control signal of the illumination control unit 120 input through the communication line C and inputs the control signal to the third control unit 132.

The third controller 132 generates a unique ID based on a random number or a register value of a central control unit (CPU) and stores it in the storage unit 133 for a predetermined time, And if there is a flashing request according to the unique ID, converts the information corresponding to the unique ID into a blinking data signal for blinking the LED or the like 136, And then blinks and outputs.

If the unique ID input from the lighting control means 120 matches the unique ID stored in the storage unit 133 after the LED lamp 136 is blinked by the blinking data, Sets the input address signal to its own address, and permanently stores it in the storage unit 133.

Also, the third controller 132 stores the address in the storage unit 133 and performs control to blink the LED lamp 136 a predetermined number of times as a confirmation signal for notifying the outside of the address when the setting is completed.

The storage unit 123 stores the unique ID for a predetermined time or stores the set address according to the command of the third control unit 132. [

The power supply unit 124 supplies power to the lamp through the power line P and the power supply unit 125 supplies power for lighting or dimming control of the LED 126 or the like.

According to the present invention, all the luminaires 130-1 to 130-N perform operations to generate their own unique IDs. At this time, generation of the unique IDs is performed by a random number or a CPU (central control unit) And so on.

Here, the random number is a random number generated.

That is, each of the lamp units 130-1 to 130-N generates a random number based on the time when the third control unit 132, which is a central processing unit (CPU), starts up when the power is turned on, .

At this time, even if power is simultaneously applied to all of the lamps 130-1 to 130-N, the probability that the absolute time of the third control unit (CPU) of each luminaires coincides becomes very low.

For reference, to generate a random number using a program, a certain initial value is required. In general, a time more than a second is specified. When the power-on to the CPU is performed at almost the same timing, The possibility becomes large. This is likely to be the same second.

However, the CPU has several registers including a program counter (PC) and the values are very low if the power-on timing of the CPU is not exactly the same.

Even if power is supplied at the same time, the probability of becoming the same value is low due to the difference in the characteristics of the power supply circuit, the error of the clock of the CPU, and the like.

In the present invention, the value of such a register is used as a parameter to generate a random number, or the register value itself can be used as a random value.

In addition, it is very unlikely that the ADC will convert the analog input signal of a particular pin to A / D conversion.

By combining a plurality of numbers having low probability of a value as described above, even if a random number is requested simultaneously to a plurality of luminaire by lowering the probability that the same number appears, all of the luminaire have different IDs, .

Since the unique ID described herein has a unique ID unique to only one system (only 64 or fewer lamps are connected to one lighting control means, or only 128 or 256 luminaires are connected and considered as one system) The probability of being the same is very low.

According to the present invention, another method of generating and storing a unique ID in the lamps 130-1 to 130-N is also possible in manufacturing the lamp.

That is, during the manufacture of a luminaire, when a program is downloaded to a luminaire from a manufacturing line and a random number is generated as an initial condition automatically when the program is first executed, the generated time is stored in a storage unit (nonvolatile memory) .

The operation of the address setting system of the present invention constructed as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

At least one lamp unit 130-1 to 130-N connected to the lighting control unit 120 and the power line P and the communication line C are installed, A lighting control system comprising a communication relay means (140) for transmitting an illumination control signal to a means (120) or receiving and transmitting a luminaire address setting signal,

When power is supplied through the power line P, all of the lamps 130-1 to 130-N are controlled by a random number corresponding to the start time of the third control unit 3 or a register value of the CPU And then temporarily stores the generated unique ID in the storage unit 133. [

That is, in the lighting control system according to the present invention, all the lighting apparatuses 130-1 to 130-N connected to one system simultaneously generate different unique IDs and temporarily store them.

Then, the user places the light receiving unit 111 of the address setting means 110 close to the corresponding lighting unit, and then sets the address to be set through the key input unit 113 Set it.

When the setting of the luminaire address is completed, a start button for address setting is inputted.

When the start button for address setting is input from the key input unit 113, the first control unit 112 controls the communication relay unit 140 through the first communication unit 115 to the illumination control unit 120, 130-1 to 130-N) (S10)

The second control unit 122 of the lighting control means 120 that has received the lamp ID request command from the address setting means 110 receives all the lamps 130-1 through 130-N through the third communication unit 123 And transmits an LED flashing output command according to the unique ID (S20)

Accordingly, all the lamps 130-1 to 130-N receive the command through the communication line C and the fourth communication unit 131 and input the command to the third control unit 132. [

At this time, the third control unit 132 reads the unique ID temporarily stored in the storage unit 133 and converts the unique ID corresponding information into a flashing data signal (binary number) for flashing the LED or the like 136.

And outputs the LED 135 or the like to the output unit 135 so as to blink by the blinking data.

Accordingly, the LED lamp 136 is flickered (S30)

In this way, the flashing operation from the LED lamp 136 is simultaneously performed by all the lamps 130-1 to 130-N. At this time, only the light of the selected lamp is inputted into the waveguide 111a as the light receiving unit 111 of the address setting means 110 And is then input to the first control unit 112 (step S40)

The first control unit 112 of the address setting unit 110 recognizes the unique ID of the corresponding lamp 130-1 through the blink data input to the light receiving unit 111 and sets the already set address as the unique ID And outputs the command to the lighting control unit 120 to be provided to the corresponding lamp unit 130-1 (step S50)

The unique ID transmitted through the first communication unit 115 of the address setting means 110 and the address information signal to be given thereto are transmitted to the illumination control means 120 via the control signal generating means 140, The illumination control means 120 transmits the corresponding unique ID and the address information signal to be provided to all of the lamps 130-1 to 130-N, and when it is a lamp having the unique ID, requests to set an address assigned thereto (S60)

When all the lamps 130-1 to 130-N detect the unique ID inputted from the lighting control means 120 and judge that the inputted unique ID is the own lamp, the lamp 130-1 is accompanied And stores the input address information in the storage unit 133 and sets it as its own address (step S70)

When the address setting of the lamp 130-1 is completed, the third controller 132 blinks the LED lamp 136 a predetermined number of times in accordance with the completion of the address setting (step S80)

Accordingly, the user recognizes that the address setting is completed by seeing the operation of the corresponding lamp 130-1 located at the upper end of the address setting means 110, and the address setting process of the lamp is completed.

Through such a process, the user can carry the address setting means 110 which can be moved and carried, and easily set a desired address in a desired luminaire.

4 is a circuit block diagram of an address setting system according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Another embodiment of the present invention is a lighting control system using power line communication (PLC), and its application method is the same as described above.

However, in the case of power line communication, there is no communication line C and data or information can be exchanged through the power line P, and the lighting control means 210 is provided with a PLC A signal extracting unit 221 for extracting information stored in the power line P is connected to the lamp units 220-1 to 220-N, a switching unit 220 for switching the LEDs 226, Circuit 225 is constructed.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the method of address setting of the power line communication and the control of the luminaire by radio are the same as those of the embodiment of the present invention described above.
