Definitions
- the present invention relates to a module for the operation of at least one light source / a light path, preferably at least one LED.
- the invention particularly relates to a module whose output power / output current / output voltage (hereinafter only the term output voltage is used) can be set by selecting the output voltage via a select input of the module.
- output voltage for example, at least one selector resistor can be connected to the selector input and then the output voltage can be adjusted depending on a resistance value of the connected selector resistor.
- a control circuit of the module therefore detects a measurement signal representing the resistance of the connected resistor.
- this concept is referred to as "Iselect.”
- a voltage or current measuring signal with regard to the voltage / current through the light source (Iselect) can be tapped off at the selector resistor.
- the invention relates to modules which have a temperature measuring unit (eg NTC, negative temperature coefficient resistor, PTC, positive temperature coefficient resistor, or thermistor).
- a temperature measuring unit eg NTC, negative temperature coefficient resistor, PTC, positive temperature coefficient resistor, or thermistor.
- the control circuit can thus alternatively or additionally detect at least one further measurement signal, which reflects a temperature determined by the temperature measurement unit.
- This can e.g. be a temperature coefficient, which is determined in particular by means of a variable electrical resistance whose value varies reproducibly by a change in temperature.
- the measuring signal then again indicates a resistance value.
- the measurement signals are generally voltages / currents which either represent resistance values or by means of which the resistance values can be determined.
- the temperature is determined, for example, to change the output voltage of the module depending on the determined temperature, for example, to shut down the module at too high / too low temperatures.
- ITM intelligent temperature management
- the above-mentioned electrically insulating barrier divides the module with respect to the barrier into a primary side and into a secondary side, e.g. Also referred to as SELV page.
- the primary side is often supplied directly or indirectly starting from a mains supply (AC / DC voltage / current), while starting from the secondary side, the connectable light source can be supplied directly or indirectly.
- the invention is aimed at modules in which the detection and evaluation of the measurement signals is performed by a primary-side control circuit. That is, on the secondary side, preferably no control circuit for detecting and evaluation is provided, in particular no IC, ASIC or microcontroller.
- temperature information e.g. read out via a secondary side
- Temperature measuring resistor (NTC, PTC) to lead to the primary side.
- the tapping of the temperature information on the secondary side is desirable in this case, since the temperature measuring unit can be arranged so close to the light source.
- Output voltage is a component that can be used and replaced by a human user, in particular by differently sized resistors.
- the human user can come into contact with conductive parts of the module, which is why preferably the secondary side of the module with the safety extra-low voltage (low-voltage power supply, SELV or LVPS, low voltage power source) can be operated. Therefore, it is often desirable to pick up a voltage or current measurement signal with respect to the voltage / current through the lamp at the selector resistor and return it to the primary side. On the other hand, the primary-side control circuit can then be supplied with a higher voltage on the primary side.
- SELV or LVPS low-voltage power supply
- the invention now seeks to reduce the circuitry complexity and cost, and in particular bring the A / D converter, the optocoupler and the low-voltage supply in discontinuation.
- the invention therefore provides an apparatus and a method according to the independent claims. Further developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
- the invention provides a module for the operation of at least one luminous means, preferably at least one LED, prepared with at least one electrically insulating barrier that separates a starting 'suppliable from a power supply voltage primary side from a secondary side of the module, of which preferably the at least one lighting means is provided, wherein a secondary-side passive circuit is provided which is connected in a supply path across at least one capacitance across the barrier with a primary-side control circuit, and wherein the primary-side control circuit is adapted to the secondary-side passive circuit with a test signal create predetermined temporal development and at the same time to monitor a secondarily generated, returned in the supply path measurement signal.
- the passive secondary-side circuit may be a resistance circuit, in particular a measuring resistor network.
- At least one selector resistor and / or a temperature measuring resistor with the primary side
- the at least one capacitor may be a Y capacitor.
- the supply path may include a path for returning the measurement signal.
- the test signal may be a current or voltage jump.
- the feedback measurement signal can only depend on resistors connected in the passive circuit.
- the control circuit may determine from the feedback signal the value of at least one secondary resistance.
- the returned signal can be detected at least two times and the resistance value can be determined by extrapolation.
- the module can be an LED module.
- the invention provides a ballast with a module as described above.
- the invention provides a luminaire with a ballast as described above.
- the invention provides a method for the passive feedback of a measurement signal from the Secondary side of an electrically insulating barrier to a control circuit arranged on the primary side, which is connected in a supply path with a secondary-side passive circuit via at least one capacitance across the barrier, the primary-side control circuit to the secondary-side passive circuit applying a test signal with a predetermined time evolution and At the same time, a measurement signal generated thereby on the secondary side and fed back via the supply path is monitored.
- Fig. 1 exemplifies an inventive
- the invention provides the transmission from the primary side to the secondary side by means of SELV-approved capacitors, so-called Y capacitors.
- Y capacitors are hereby electrical capacitors which are connected between phase, respectively neutral conductor, and touchable circuit parts, e.g. a protective earthed housing, be connected and thus bridge the electrically insulating barrier.
- a current path is formed from a control circuit S on the primary side, the two poles of a secondary-side passive circuit, a resistor circuit with at least one of said resistors (R Iselect or a temperature measuring resistor RITM) , via a respective the said specified capacitances or Y capacitors C1, C2 connects across the barrier.
- the passive circuit is shown schematically by the resistor R PS .
- a predetermined test signal ie a signal with a predetermined time evolution of the current or voltage curve (for example, a jump) in the power / voltage supply of the secondary-side passive circuit
- a primary-side measuring resistor shunt
- the passive circuit R PS on the secondary side (in the simplest case, ohmic resistors or a PTC / NTC) is in turn connected to the primary-side control circuit S via at least one capacitance, a Y capacitor C1, C2 across the barrier ,
- the secondary-side passive circuit can also be quite more complex than just one resistor, but preferably has no voltage supply on the secondary side, but is supplied only on the basis of the primary-side control circuit.
- FIG. 2 shows a circuit alternative in which a first resistor R Iselect on the secondary side , in particular a selector resistor, and a second resistor R ITM , in particular a temperature measuring resistor, are connected to the primary side
- Control circuit S via a first capacitor C1 'and a second capacitor C2' are connected.
- the capacitances are here likewise preferably designed as Y capacitors.
- the control circuit S can now detect a signal on the third capacitance C3' that reproduces the resistance value of the first resistor R Iselect .
- the control circuit S can detect a signal at the third capacitance C3' representing the resistance of the first resistance Rselect .
- control circuit S, the first and the second test signal at a time interval from each other so as to temporally separate measuring signals at the third capacitance C3 'can be tapped, the respective resistance values play.
- the measuring signals are current / voltage signals.
- test signals can also be applied simultaneously.
- FIG. 3 for a simulation circuit which corresponds in its construction to the circuit arrangement from FIG. 1.
- the quantity Il-neg / mv plotted in the diagram from FIG. 3 results from a constant current which is applied to the capacitor C1 on the primary side.
- the capacities used preferably have large tolerances. Therefore, a two-point measurement can be performed and the value of a resistance can be extrapolated from the measurement by the control circuit S.
