Definitions

  • the invention relates to a USB DALI interface component with a USB input / output, a microprocessor and a DALI input / output. It also relates to a method of enabling subscribers of a DALI bus from a personal computer with a USB interface, in which the personal computer and the DALI bus are connected to each other via a USB DALI interface component.
  • DALI stands for "Digital Addressable Light Interface” and represents a protocol that is used in suitable buses for the control of luminaires.Of course, conventional personal computers do not have a DALI interface.
  • a standard interface for personal computers is a USB interface, wherein USB stands for "Universal Serial Bus".
  • USB interface can be used to drive the DALI bus. It requires a USB DALI interface component and suitable software for the personal computer. Such software is not be ⁇ already available generally on the personal computers.
  • the software is provided by a CD (Compact Disk) supplied with the USB DALI interface device, so that the software can be installed on the personal computer.
  • CD Compact Disk
  • USB flash memory sticks An alternative to the CD is USB flash memory sticks. These are simply plugged into the USB interface of the personal computer. USB devices are divided into different classes. The memory sticks belong to the definition (USB Device Class Definition) "Mass Storage".

  • the USB DALI interface component has a flash memory connected to a microprocessor.
  • the microprocessor is programmed to provide the flash memory as a virtual drive to a personal computer connected to the USB input / output.
  • the contents of the flash memory is thus immediately after insertion of the USB DALI interface component in the USB input of the personal computer the personal computer available, the provision of the flash memory as a virtual drive means that the data can be accessed directly from the Per ⁇ sonalcomputer as they would find themselves on the personal computer.
  • the flash memory can be particularly set the software to ⁇ .
  • the following is stored on the flash memory:
  • the flash memory is thus provide everything that the per ⁇ personnel computer needs in order to be controlled by him directly DALI bus users.
  • the driver creates this first formal at all the communica ⁇ tion possibility, and the application supports performing individual communication steps.
  • individual luminaires can be controlled from the personal computer, and the user software can, for example, provide symbols for luminaires, which can be clicked on when the luminaires are switched on, etc.

  • the microprocessor 18 may provide the personal computer with a second virtual drive that represents the USB DALI interface device 10 as a whole. This can be linked to known techniques. Since the flash memory 22 does not consume much space, the USB-DALI interface component 10 is built almost exactly com ⁇ pact as conventional USB DALI interface components, but it eliminates the necessity of the software on the personal computer to be spat ⁇ len.
