Definitions
- the present invention relates to a lighting control system, and particularly to a master-slave oriented two-way radio frequency (RF) lighting control system.
- RF radio frequency
- Lighting system control configurations range from simple to complex. In one of the simplest control schemes, lights are turned on/off by dedicated wall switches located, typically, in the same room as the lights controlled by the wall mounted switches. Additionally, wall dimmers may be used to control (i.e., vary) the intensity of the lights. More complicated control functions such as grouping, preset lighting scenes, dimming and lighting based on ambient light, occupancy, and other factors can be implemented to provide intelligent control of the building lighting system. Such intelligent lighting system control may be implemented using an open, proprietary, or a standard lighting control command set such as, for example, the industry-standard DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface). However, retrofitting and/or modifying a lighting system for DALI requires extra control wires for connecting a control box to the lighting units' ballast.
- DALI Digital Addressable Lighting Interface
- the conventionally wired DALI system has the disadvantage of added installation cost and retrofit inflexibility.
- a remote control unit is used, for example, to provide user convenience in controlling the lights.
- the remote control communication is based on IR (infrared) technology.
- IR communication requires a line-of-sight between the IR linked devices and have a limited range based on certain output power limits. Accordingly, lighting systems relying on IR communication are suitable for simple control functions limited to small areas such as a single room within a building. To communicate using IR over a large area requires increased transmitting power and/or repeaters, both of which are a costly proposition.
- RF technology has the advantages of flexibility and ease of installation. It can be used for both local control (one room) and wide area control (building wide).
- RF-based lighting control systems There are some RF-based lighting control systems.
- U. S. Pat. No. 6,174,073 describes a lighting system including a plurality of lighting units each having an illumination element and an associated switch (i.e., control box) responsive to a RF (radio frequency) signal, and remote control switch units for transmitting RF signals to the lighting units.
- the '073 patent discloses a lighting system using one-way communication between the remote control units and the control box attached to conventional electronic analog ballasts. The signal transmitted from the remote control switch unit is received by the control circuitry of the light unit to control a switch between the mains power supply and the ballast.
- the remote control switch turns on/off and dims the lighting units by connecting disconnecting the lighting to the power supply.
- the disclosed system may be used for retrofits to convert manually operated wall switches into remote/handheld wireless controlled switches. However, since communication in the '073 system is oneway, there is no data feed back from the ballast to the remote control unit.
- ballasts store the IDs of their assigned, designated remote control units so that only lighting control commands issued from the assigned remote control units will be acknowledged and responded to.
- This type of lighting control system provides two-way communication yet it has the disadvantage of being vulnerable to the situation where a remote control is lost or inoperable.
- This type of lighting system requires an additional device and intervention for recovering control of the ballasts in the event the designated remote control unit(s) assigned to the ballasts is lost or inoperable.
- a method and apparatus for providing a lighting control network including a remote control unit having a RF signal transmitter and a RF receiver, and a plurality of lighting control units, each of the lighting control units having a RF signal transmitter, a RF receiver, and a lighting unit associated therewith, wherein the remote control unit and the plurality of lighting control units are configured in a master-slave oriented network, one of the plurality of lighting control units being configured as a master in the network and remaining lighting control units of the plurality of lighting units and the remote control units being configured as slaves in the network, and the plurality of lighting control units and the remote control unit communicating bi-directionally with each other via RF wireless links.
- the network may also include sensors for detecting an environmental or system parameter. Multiple instances of the local lighting control network may be interfaced together to form a building-wide network.

- a pairing algorithm is used to associate the keys/controls of the remote control units with particular ballasts, according to the lighting configuration and layout needs. For example, remote control unit 40 is “paired” with ballast 15 and remote control unit 42 is “paired” with ballast 25. In this manner, the ballasts of the present invention are "virtually wired” (since communicating via RF wireless links) to the keys/controls of the remote control units.
- the pairing procedure is preferably accomplished by placing the remote control units in a special programming mode, referred to herein as TEACH mode.
- the local control master, ballast 5 records the pairing links between the keys/controls of the user interface of the remote control units and the ballasts paired together during the TEACH mode.
- the ballasts and remote control unit pairing relationships may be stored in a table and a relational database in a memory location of the MCU of the local confrol master.
- the local control master first enters TEACH mode and sends a command to turn on all the registered ballasts.

- Destination ballast 15 receives the packet via RF signal, demodulates, and decodes the signal. Lighting unit 20 is operated in accordance to the issued command, this example, lighting unit 20 is commanded to turn on.
- the local control master sends out beacons or polling messages at a predetermined interval to maintain the health of light control network 100.
- the network slave devices are periodically informed of the local control master's status.
- the local control master status may include whether the local control master is allowing new devices to join the network. Additionally, the local control master can monitor the status of the slave devices on the network.
- lighting control network 100 can be maintained in the instance of a power outage and/or local control master, ballast 5, malfunctions or is otherwise rendered inoperable for coordinating the functions of network 100.
- at least one of the slave ballasts may be designated as a back-up local control master in the event that the local control master, ballast 5, fails.
- back-up local control master ballast 15 becomes the primary local control master
- all of the devices not designated as the master may act as a back-up master and be randomly selected as the master upon an emergency or failure of the primary local control master.
- the designation of a primary, and a secondary, etc., back-up local control masters can be implemented according to a variety of network reconfiguration schemes.
- the particular algorithm used for converting a ballast into the new master may vary depending on the application and lighting control protocol used. It is noted however, that network 100 reconfigures as a master-slave oriented two-way communication network such that the pairing data is maintained by at least one device designated as a local control master.
- lighting control network 100 of the present invention provides increased lighting system layout flexibility; reliable two-way communication, including feedback data from the ballast, such as power consumption or diagnostic information, affording improved lighting and power management; is not susceptible to the missing remote control unit situation since pairing link data is consolidated in the local control master. As discussed above, in the instance the master fails, there is a back-up local control master to take over the coordination and control functionality for the network.
- the existence of a local control master facilitates forming a building-wide lighting control network.
- the local control master can transmit data, communicate, local network data concerning the local network to a central master for the entire building to achieve "building automation” or a "building management” network.
- This building-wide network connects all different kinds of the building management systems, such as lighting, heating, security and elevator systems, and so on together and forms communication pathways to the building management center, which can be a PC or other centralized confrol equipment such as central control master 200 of FIG. 1A.
- the devices included in this network include ballasts, remote control units, occupancy sensors, motion detectors, light sensors, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, window blind controllers, circuit breaker panel boxes, and any other type of sensors or devices that are may be used for the building control systems mentioned above.
- the devices in the network communicate in different ways depending on the communication protocol used. For instance, the communication protocol used may be a hierarchical net or a flat mesh.
- the central control master 200 is the top master of the network, hi each room, there is a local master that can reside in the ballast or any other appropriate devices in the local network.
- the ballast is suitable for the system where the local master needs to be mains-powered.
- the local masters of the building network can talk to one each through communication links established therebetween. Network data and status is reported to the central control master by the local masters (e.g., ballast 5) and network commands and data can be sent to central control 200 via the same communication pathways.
- Local control masters control and coordinate the operations of the various devices in the local networks.
- the devices can talk to another through physical/virtual links after initialization or configuration.
- the communication between any two slave-devices can go through the local master.
- central control master 200 is the master of the network. All the other devices can be the slaves si, s2,..., s6. All of the slave devices, sl-s6, can communicate with one another. A command issued by the master will find the best route to get to the destination slave device by using other slave devices as routing or repeating devices. For example, a command destined for slave s6 may take route CM-sl-s3-s6 or route CM-s2-s4-s6, depending on network traffic and other considerations.
