Description

Power and communication integrated wiring device using power plexer

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a wiring distribution apparatus, and more particularly, to a power and communication integrated wiring apparatus using a power plexer configured to transmit and receive communication and power lines in a single unit.

With the recent improvement in the quality of life, people are increasingly interested in lighting. Modern lighting devices require more than just turning on the lights with a switch. In other words, modern lighting apparatuses are evolving into a more evolved form, such as producing a variety of ambience according to the use of the room, or automatically adjusting the illuminance according to the illuminance of the surroundings.

This evolving lighting device is typically based on Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) communications. The DALI communication standard can implement a lighting device that can meet user requirements by assigning addresses to each illumination or assigning them to groups to set scenes of different combinations.

DALI communication is driven by low voltage using a two-bus bus, and up to 64 DALI interfaces can be connected to one DALI bus.

DALI communication monitors and controls the status of the components connected to the DALI system through the DALI interface. The status of components that can be monitored and controlled as DALI communications can be faulty, fire by the sensor, or security issues.

The messages used in the DALI system are in the form of a serial data stream and consist of an address part and a command part. The DALI device uses digital data expressing "0" and "1" using two different voltage levels, and communicates by using each address in a broadcast form. In general, DALI communication has 64 address settings and 16 group address settings.

FIG. 1 discloses a lighting control device system using such a conventional DALI system.

The technique of FIG. 1 is disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2012-0095153 (name: DALI communication-based lighting control apparatus and method), and the lighting control apparatus includes a DALI ballast (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface ballast, 11, a DALI master 12, and a management server 13.

The management server 13 is connected to one or more DALI masters 12 by a wired or wireless communication method and each DALI master 12 is connected to one or more DALI ballast 11 by a DALI communication method. The management server 13 may centrally control or manage one or more DALI masters 12 using wired or wireless communications and each DALI master 12 may communicate with one or more DALI ballast 11) can be integrally controlled or managed.

The DALI bus power supply 14 supplies the power required for DALI communication between the DALI master 12 and the DALI ballast 11. [

The DALI ballast 11 is a control device that drives a lighting device based on a control message transmitted from the DALI master 12 through DALI communication.

The control information of the lighting apparatus can be generated by the management server 13. In order to generate the control information, the management server 13 may be provided with a user interface such as a keyboard input device. The setting values for generating the control information can be input to the management server 13 through the user interface. The set value may be input to the management server 13 via an external client connected to the management server 13 via the wired / wireless network. 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 DALI master 12 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 management server 13 and the DALI master 12 may be RS-232, RS-485, USB, Ethernet, or RF (Radio Frequency)

The control information transmitted from the management server 13 to the DALI master 12 may include schedule data for allowing the DALI master 13 to control the DALI ballast 11 at a specific time. The DALI master 12 manages the schedule data transmitted from the management server 13 and transmits a control message for operating the DALI ballast 11 to the DALI ballast 11 according to the schedule data. For example, in accordance with the schedule data transmitted from the management server 13, the DALI master 12 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, The DALI ballast 11 can be controlled to shut off the power supply when the time has elapsed. The DALI master 12 may be required to set a real time clock (RTC) in order to manage such schedule data.

In addition, lighting infrastructure in many residential, office and industrial areas has dimming circuits associated with lighting. Lighting dimming controls are being used to improve individual comfort, extend the life of the lighting source, and save energy.

However, such a conventional illumination system is disadvantageous in that it is inconvenient in separating power and communication of a conventional DALI system because power and communication cables are separately provided, and high costs are incurred due to an increase in labor costs and construction time.

In other words, referring to the conventional luminaire wiring diagram of FIG. 2, conventionally, a separate switch line for on / off control of each luminaire in the switch control stage is included in the cable or pipeline together with the power source, The number of cables to be connected to the ceiling increases, so that the number of the wiring lines increases, resulting in an increase in the air flow rate and a high installation cost.

In other words, referring to FIG. 2, lines corresponding to the power supply lines provided by AC or DC and the number of the switches SW1, SW2, SW3, and SW4 must be routed to the ceiling.

The lines provided in each switch must be connected to the four branching devices so that they can branch to channels (ch1, ch2, ch3, ch4) consisting of one or more luminaire connected to the same line. In FIG. 2, four branching mechanisms are used to control four channels with four switches.

Therefore, there arises a problem that the switch line corresponding to each channel must be piped to the branch mechanism. In each branch mechanism, the number of connection points connecting the corresponding switch line and the corresponding channel increases, so that the piping wiring becomes complicated, Costs are incurred.

In addition, since the conventional power source uses the star method, separate DALI communication piping / wiring is required to control the individual register discrimination dimming.

In order to solve such problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a device for integrated power and communication using a power plexer capable of integrating electricity and communication lines, distributing the electric power and the communication line, .

Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of using a power plexer for integrated power and communication wiring according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a power plexer.

As shown in the figure, the apparatus for integrated power and communication using a power plexer according to an embodiment of the present invention transmits signal lines commonly through one cable or pipe, processes the transmitted signals, A power plexer for outputting a control signal for power supply or dimming control of the luminaire is installed near the luminaire to be used so that the luminaire can be controlled.

To this end, a signal line consisting of power lines P1 and P2 transmitted by AC or DC and a data line D1 and D2 (hereinafter referred to as a communication line) used as a communication line is connected to one cable (or pipe) To the power flex 200 through the power control unit 200.

In the present invention, since it is necessary to transmit four lines (power supply line 2 and communication line 2) necessary for power control and communication regardless of the number of the luminaire, there is no need to wire a line corresponding to the number of channels .

Particularly, although it is described that the communication line requires two lines, it is a matter of course that the number of lines required for establishing the DALI communication, which is a standard used in the luminaire, is not limited to being reduced or increased.

That is, the present invention is characterized by a concept for constructing a facility with a minimum number of lines using a common power line and a data communication line.

2, since a common line is not used, it is necessary to construct a line corresponding to the number of the minimum switches since each channel must be connected to the corresponding switch line.

On the other hand, although the communication line has been described by way of example in which two lines D1 and D2 are set for normal data transmission, the present invention is not limited to this, and one or more lines may be used.

This is because the present invention is characterized not by the number of power lines and the number of communication lines but by inserting power lines and communication lines into one pipe and transmitting them to a power flex connected to each of the lamps.

Referring to FIG. 3, it is possible to control 64 lamps (CH1 to CH64) using four lines.

As a result, since four transmission lines are used and only a connection point for four lines is required, the number of lines to be wired is reduced, and the Powell Flex 200 can perform only signal processing for four lines. Therefore, will be.

Therefore, the power lines P1 and P2 and the communication lines D1 and D2, which are transmitted through one cable 220, can be connected by a connecting member so as to be easily connected to the power flex 200.

Referring to an example of a connector connected to a power flexor according to an embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 9,

connectors

221, 231, 241, and 251 of a second shape are connected to terminals of the

cables

220, 230, 202, 203, and 204 of the first shape that can be connected to the first connector 200, respectively.

Here, the connectors of the first shape and the second shape mean that they are combined to be used as one connector connecting member, and a female connector and a male connector can be formed in any one of them.

The communication lines D1 and D2 may include identifiers for specifying one of the lamps in the plurality of lamps CH1 to CH64 and electrical on-off and dimming control data.

Referring to the signal configuration diagram of the communication line of FIG. 10, the header part includes an ID part for specifying each luminaire, a power on-off data for controlling the power of each luminaire, and a data part including a dimming control signal, And configured to be transmitted in a data streaming manner.

In order to control the luminaire of 64 channels in FIG. 3, if the ID Part is configured to be 6 bits, the luminaire of 64 channels can be controlled.

The communication lines D1 and D2 according to the present invention are described on the premise that signals for power supply and dimming control of the respective lamps are formed through a switch control unit, a separate management server, a gateway, and the like.

The power plexer 200 is configured to receive the communication lines D1 and D2 and the power lines P1 and P2 through one cable 220 and output a signal for controlling power and dimming of the corresponding lamp.

To this end, the power flex 200 includes a bus bar 210 for mechanically connecting and distributing the power lines P1 and P2 and the communication lines D1 and D2 through a connector and a bus bar 210 located outside the bus bar 210 And a control circuit 110 for receiving signals of the power lines P1 and P2 and the communication lines D1 and D2 in a plane and outputting a power control signal and a dimming control signal which are processed in a circuit manner to the respective lamps .

The bus bar 210 includes a connector 201 having a first shape and connected to two or more power lines P1 and P2 and two or more communication lines D1 and D2, A connector 2 202 of a first shape connected by a respective first conductive material to connect the connection signal of the connector 1 201 to bypass the connector 1 201, 201 connected to each other by a second conductive material for outputting connection signals.

Referring to the drawings, the present embodiment shows an example in which the power plex includes an input connector and an output connector for bypassing the input connector to another power plex, and two control connectors for controlling the luminaire.

In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the input connector 201 is used as the connector 201, the output connector 203 is used as the control connector, and the 202 and 204 connectors are used as the control connector.

Referring to the wiring diagram of the bus bar according to the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 6, the bus bar 210 transmits a necessary signal through a crossbar and a bar connecting the booth bar directly to another booth, And a vertical bar configured to be extracted.

It is needless to say that the horizontal bars 212 and the vertical bars 211 are made of a conductive material such as copper.

Preferably, the horizontal bars and the vertical bars are vertically spaced apart from each other with a space therebetween, and the connecting portions are interconnected by another connecting member, or in a portion to be connected, So that the signal can be extracted by engaging with a fastening member such as a screw.

Referring to the drawing, vertical bars 211 in the form of bar bars for fetching signals are installed at a certain distance from each other in six-for convenience-referred to as first to sixth vertical bars, Shaped connection member 211a can be engaged.

The connecting member 211a may be formed at both ends with a bending part such as a " C " shape so as to be connected to terminals to which a signal is transmitted or outputted to a control circuit part 110 Is electrically connected to the vertical bar either directly or via a screw 211d and the bent piece at the other end is electrically connected to the control circuit part directly or through a fastening member.

For example, referring to FIG. 6, the connecting member 211a may have a substantially U-shaped bend at each end, and each bend may be securely fastened to the bend by a fastening member such as a horizontal bar and a vertical bar, And screw

holes

211b and 211c for fastening are fastened by fastening members 211d.

In the present invention, it is assumed that the first vertical bar and the second vertical bar are used as the power inlet ports P1 and P2, respectively, and the remaining four third vertical bars are used as the power ON / OFF control signal and the signal for dimming control Is used as an output terminal for transmitting to each luminaire.

The horizontal bar 212 is configured to connect the incoming signal to another booth bar at the same time as it is mechanically connected to the vertical bar and to transmit the corresponding signal to the vertical bar or the control circuit unit 110.

6, the horizontal bar 212 is divided into four bar bars for supplying the power supply lines P1 and P2 and the communication lines D1 and D2, And is installed at a distance.

The third and fourth horizontal bars used as the power supply lines P1 and P2 are configured to be in direct contact with the vertical bar and the first and second horizontal bars used as the communication lines D1 and D2 are formed to have approximately " Shaped connecting member 211a can be connected.

The connection member connected to the horizontal bar as in the connection member of the vertical bar is also used to constitute such that the signal is transmitted to the control circuit.

In the present invention, the power line is configured to direct the horizontal bar and the vertical bar, and the communication line is connected by a separate connecting member. However, the present invention is not limited to this and can be configured in various forms .

In the present invention, the structure of the bus bar is configured such that a power supply line and a communication line supplied from a lead-in terminal are constituted by a horizontal bar located at an upper portion of a bus bar and necessary signals are contacted with the horizontal bar at a vertical bar located therebelow, .

The names of the horizontal bars and the vertical bars refer to the horizontal bar and the vertical bar in FIG. 6, but the vertical bar is formed at the lower part of the horizontal bar and the signal is supplied through the horizontal bar. Of course, it can be changed.

More specifically, the first and second horizontal bars connected to the communication lines D1 and D2 directly connected to the booth are connected to one side of the output end thereof, and the connection member 211a is connected to the control circuit unit 110 at one end thereof. The D1 contact portion 215b and the D2 contact portion 215a are formed and the third and fourth horizontal bars connected to the power supply lines P1 and P2 are directly screwed to the vertical bar.

The first and second vertical bars fastened to the third and fourth horizontal bars and the first and second vertical bars may form a P1 contact portion 213b and a P2 contact portion 213a at both ends thereof to supply power to the control circuit portion.

Each of the horizontal bars and the vertical bars constitutes a connector contact portion 211e and a signal is transmitted through the connected connector. In the present embodiment, the horizontal bar and the vertical bar are connected to the 3.4th horizontal bar used as the power lines P1 and P2. The first and second vertical bars may not have the above-described connector contact portion.

That is, the vertical bar, which must supply or receive a signal to / from the control circuit unit, must be able to transmit and receive signals by configuring a connector contact portion at one end thereof so that related signals can be transmitted to the corresponding lighting apparatuses by connector connection.

A connection member 211a for connecting signals output from the control circuit unit 110 is formed at both ends of the third through sixth vertical bars, and outputs a power supply control signal for controlling the power supply of the luminaire A D1 output contact portion 214c and a D2 output contact portion 214d for outputting a dimming control signal for controlling the dimming of the lamp are formed.

The bus bar 210 mechanically connects necessary signals among the incoming signals and transmits the signals to the control circuit 110. The control circuit 110 processes the signals to generate a power on / off control signal and a dimming control signal, And is then output to the respective lamps by the connector.

In the present invention, since the bus bar is mounted in the case and is configured to allow mechanical connection of the signal line including the connector, the signal processed by the control circuit unit is directly output to the booth and is connected through the connector. However, It is also possible to configure a terminal for connecting a connector, and if necessary, a connector for connecting an external signal to the bus bar or the control circuit can be formed.

The control circuit unit 110 may be constituted by circuit components so as to receive a signal through the mechanical contact at the bus bar 210 and to output a signal necessary for the lamp control.

Preferably, the control circuit unit 110 includes a printed circuit board (PCB), receives necessary signals from the respective connection members 211a of the bus bar 210, electrically connects the circuit components, processes the signals, , And output it to the booth again.

5, the control circuit 110 reads the on / off and dimming control data of the ID and the electric power from the power supply line and the communication line input from the lead-in unit 120 from the control unit 111 Off control signal and a dimming control signal through the output unit 130 to the luminaire designated by the ID.

To this end, the control circuit unit 110 controls on / off the power line from the P1 inlet unit 121 and the P2 inlet unit 122, which are the power inlet units of the inlet unit 120, A dimming communication unit 113 for outputting a dimming control signal for controlling the dimming of the luminaire, a power switching unit 112 for outputting the power through the P1 output unit 131 and the P2 output unit 132 of the output unit 130, Off and dimming control data from the communication line between the D1 inlet 123 and the D2 inlet 124 of the inlet 211 and outputs the ON and OFF control data to the power switching unit 112), and outputs a signal for controlling the dimming communication unit (113) corresponding to the lamp designated by the ID.

The second power switching unit 114 and the second dimming communication unit 115 connected to the control unit 111 may be added to the power supply control signal and the dimming control signal to control one lamp, One luminaire can be controlled.

By adding the power switching unit and the dimming communication unit in this way, it is possible to control as much as necessary luminaires.

7, the third through sixth vertical bars, which are in contact with the vertical bar control circuit portion and to which signals are output, are connected to each other by a bar bar as shown in FIG. 6 However, it is also possible to configure them to be separated from each other without being directly connected to the bar to construct a simple structure.

In other words, the third through sixth vertical bars may be bar bars corresponding to a size sufficient to form the connecting member and the connector contact portion, and may be independently assembled and used.

These bus bars and control circuit portions are assembled by being joined to each other by a connecting member.

8, a control circuit portion is coupled to the bus bar 210. A " C " electrically connected to a horizontal bar or a vertical bar of the bus bar 210 in a plane positioned outside the bus bar 210, The control circuit unit 110 is mounted on the upper surface of the connecting member 211a of the first embodiment and is fastened so as to be electrically connected using a fastening member 116 such as a screw 116. [

The connecting member 211a is formed at one end with a fastening hole 211b and a portion of the connecting portion 211a of each of the inlet 120 and the output 130 of the control circuit portion 110, A through hole 120b is formed at the center of the copper foil 120a and a copper foil 120b corresponding to one end of each connecting member 211a of the bus bar 210 and a corresponding one of the copper foil 120a, and then fastened with the fastening member 116 to be electrically connected.

As a result, according to an embodiment of the present invention, four common lines are input and processed for on / off control of the lamp, dimming control, and then four signals are output for each lamp to control power of the lamp, Control can be done.

Meanwhile, a signal for controlling the power supply and dimming outputted from the control circuit 110 may be a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) for supplying power to the lamp.

11, the SMPS 310 outputs a power on / off signal and a dimming control signal, which are provided in the powerplex 200, to the SMPS 310. The power on / Off signal for controlling each of the lamp units 300 and a dimming control signal.

However, the SMPS 310 may be generally integrated with the luminaire, but it may be formed in the inner periphery of the power flex 200, or may be used as a separate power supply.

When the SMPS is configured externally, it is possible to simplify the configuration of the power flex by connecting common power supply lines, such as the common power supply line, directly to the luminaire from the bus bar without supplying them to the control circuit portion of the powerplex.

However, in another embodiment, the power supply line and the communication line are received in the same manner as in the above embodiment, and can be simply controlled on and off.

That is, a communication line for transmitting a signal including an ID for identifying one of the plurality of luminaire and electric on / off data, a power line supplied to the luminaire, It is needless to say that the power supply can be controlled by a simple construction by constructing a power plexer which receives a cable or a pipe and outputs a signal for controlling power of the lamp.

At this time, all of the configurations of the power plexes are made the same, and when only the power on / off control line is mechanically connected in the connector to be connected, there is an advantage that power supply control, power supply control and dimming control can be performed at the same time.

Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the above-described first embodiment, the signal input to the bus bar is mechanically distributed and transmitted to the control circuit unit. However, in the second embodiment described later, the signals inputted to the bus bar are electrically distributed and transmitted to the control circuit unit .

The description of the same configuration will be omitted.

Fig. 12 shows an embodiment of using a power plexer for integrated power and communication wiring according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 13 is an enlarged view of the power plexer of Fig.

To this end, a signal line consisting of power lines P1 and P2 transmitted by AC or DC and a data line D1 and D2 (hereinafter referred to as a communication line) used as a communication line is connected to one cable (or pipe) To be transmitted to the power flex 200a.

Although the present invention has been described or illustrated with reference to two power lines, it is for convenience of description that it is of course possible to add additional lines such as ground lines if necessary.

That is, the present invention is characterized in that a facility is constructed with a minimum number of lines using a common power supply line and a data communication line, and the amount of wiring and piping is reduced.

The saving rate of wiring and piping according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

The power plexer 200a is configured to receive the communication lines D1 and D2 and the power lines P1 and P2 and output a signal for controlling power and dimming of the corresponding lamp.

The power flex 200a includes a bus bar 210a for electrically connecting and distributing the power lines P1 and P2 and the communication lines D1 and D2 like a cable and a flat And a control circuit unit 110a for receiving the signals of the power lines P1 and P2 and the communication lines D1 and D2 and outputting the power control signal and the dimming control signal, .

The bus bar 210a includes at least one first connector 330 connected to one or more lines of the power lines P1 and P2 and the communication lines D1 and D2, And one or more

second connectors

320 and 340 electrically connected to signals output from the control circuit 110a.

Referring to the wiring diagram of the bus bar according to an embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 15, in the second embodiment, the power plex includes an input cable or pipe 220 and an output connector and a luminaire And two control connectors for controlling the control connector.

Also, in the drawings, signals are illustrated as being transmitted directly from a cable or a pipe, but it is obvious that they can be connected using an incoming connector.

In this embodiment, the connector 330 is used as the output connector, and the

connectors

320 and 340 are used as the control connector.

15, the cable or pipe 220 is connected to the first connector 330 through the cable 360 in the state where the cable or the pipe 220 is drawn into the bus bar 210a, Signals of the power supply line and the communication line are transmitted to the control circuit unit 110a and signals processed by the control circuit unit 110a are transmitted through the

second connectors

320 and 340 as the control connectors in the bus bar 210a, And a signal for controlling the power supply and the dimming are output.

In this embodiment, the signal in the bus bar 210a is all transmitted to the first connector 330 through the cable 360, the signals from the first connector 330 are all input to the control circuit 110a, The signal processed by the control circuit unit 110a is outputted through the

second connectors

320 and 340. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and at least one of the power line and the communication line of the cable 360 may be connected to the other connector It is also possible that the corresponding connector is connected to the control circuit part 110a and the signal processed by the control circuit part 110a is transmitted through another connector in the bus bar 210a.

One of the features of the present invention is that the signal line connection in the bus bar is electrically connected using a cable as shown in FIG. 15 without using a mechanism formed of a conductive material. Therefore, It is also possible to fix the connectors on the PCB without replacing the PCB 360 or replace the PCB pattern or the bus bar cable made of the metal conductor.

Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the signal of each connector is illustrated to form a conductive contact portion on top of each connector for contacting the control circuit portion 110a.

This is done by using a conductive connecting member 380 so that each connector is in electrical contact with the control circuit portion 110a.

15,

contact portions

331, 332, 333, and 334 are formed on the upper portion of the connector 330, and the

contact portions

331, 332, 333, and 334 are electrically connected to the respective cables 360.

15, the respective contact portions are connected to each other through the substantially " " -shaped connecting member 380, as shown in the drawing showing an example of the state in which the bus bar and the control circuit portion are combined as shown in Fig. 16 , Each connecting member 380 can be joined by a fastening member such as a screw 116 or by soldering.

The connecting member 380 may be formed at both ends with a bending part such as a " C " shape so as to be connected to terminals to which signals are transmitted or outputted to a control circuit part 110a described later, The connector can be electrically connected directly or by screws and the bent piece at the other end can be electrically connected to the control circuit portion directly or by using a fastening member.

Each connector of the bus bar 210a and the control circuit part 110a may be connected by the connecting member 380. However, referring to the drawing showing another example of the state in which the bus bar and the control circuit part are combined, 17, the

contact portions

331, 332, 333, and 334 are formed on the upper portion of the connector 330, and one end of the electric wire is soldered However, it is also possible to connect the control circuit portion 110a to the direct connector 330 by drawing out the electric wire corresponding to each line.

The bus bar 210a electrically connects the necessary signals among the incoming signals to the control circuit unit 110a, and the control circuit unit 110a processes the signals to supply the power on / off control signal or the dimming control signal to the booth bar And transmitted to each luminaire by a connector.

In the present invention, the bus bar is mounted in the case so that the signal line including the connector can be directly connected using an electric wire such as a cable without using a mechanical member.

The control circuit part 110a may be constituted by circuit parts so as to receive a signal through the contact of the connecting member 380 and the cable 370 in the bus bar 210a and to output a signal necessary for the lamp control.

14, the control circuit unit 110a includes a printed circuit board (PCB), receives a necessary signal from the bus bar 210a, electrically connects the circuit components, and processes the signal And then output it to the booth again.

That is, the control circuit unit 110a reads the on / off and dimming control data of the ID and electricity from the power supply line and the communication line input from the lead-in contact unit 120c from the control unit 111, And outputs the control signal and the dimming control signal through the output contact portion 130a.

Needless to say, three or more output contact portions 130a may be formed as needed.

To this end, the control circuit part 110a controls on / off of the power line from the P1 input contact part 123c and the P2 input contact part 124c, which are the power input parts of the incoming contact part 120c, A dimming communication unit 113 for outputting a dimming control signal for controlling the dimming of the luminaire, a power switching unit 112 for outputting the power through the P1 output contact 131a and the P2 output contact 132a of the output unit 130a, Off and dimming control data of the ID and electric power from the communication line between the D1 incoming contact portion 121c and the D2 incoming contact portion 122c of the incoming contact portion 120c and outputs the ON and OFF control data to the power switching portion 112), and outputs a signal for controlling the dimming communication unit (113) corresponding to the lamp designated by the ID.

The first dimming communication unit 115 and the second power switching unit 114 connected to the control unit 111 may be connected to one or more of the dimming control unit 115 and the dimming control unit 115, You can also control more than one luminaire.

In the above description, the power supply line and the communication line are input and processed at the same time for convenience of explanation. However, in another embodiment, the power supply line and the communication line are input in the same manner as in the above embodiment, Can be controlled.

That is, a communication line for transmitting a signal including an ID for identifying one of the plurality of luminaire and electric on / off data, a power line supplied to the luminaire, And a power plexer which receives a signal transmitted from a cable or a pipe and outputs a signal for controlling the power of the luminaire, not only the overall wiring distance and the piping distance are shortened, but also the lighting control and dimming The number of breakers and the number of relays required for control can be drastically reduced, so that not only the construction cost is reduced but also the power consumption due to the wiring can be reduced.

In the following, contrast tables of piping and wiring are shown when the present invention is applied to the past.

In the following table, L ₀ is the initial distance to the first lamp, ΔL is the equipotential interval, Pav is the power consumption of each luminaire, N is the average number of lamps per pipe, Imax is the maximum current per circuit, Nnode Is the maximum number of local control nodes.

Table 1 compares the number of breakers, the number of relays, the number of dimming controllers used, the average overall wiring length and the average overall pipe length in the case of lighting control, lighting control and dimming control.

For convenience of description, the distance from the power plex to the luminaire is omitted in Table 1.

For example, when the number of luminaire is 10, 20, and 30, respectively, when the equal interval L is 2m, 3m, and 4m, Table 2 shows the case where only power control is used, Is a numerical comparison of actual wiring and pipe length.

As can be seen from Table 2, when the number of lamps is 10, the length of the wiring is reduced by about 55% and the length of the pipe is reduced by about 33%. As the number of lamps is increased, It can be seen that the length shows a remarkable difference.

In comparison between Table 2 and Table 3, it can be seen that the length of wiring and piping is doubled by adding dimming control to power control, but the same wiring and piping length are required when applying the present invention .

Table 4 shows the piping and wiring reduction rates when the present invention is applied based on the contents of Tables 1 to 3.

As shown in Table 4, it can be seen that the wiring is reduced by about 55% and the piping is reduced by about 33% in case of power control, power control and dimming control, and when the power control and dimming control are simultaneously installed, 88%, and the piping is reduced by about 67%.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art.

The present invention is a technique that can be used for distribution and wiring to supply power from a building or an office. It not only shortens the entire wiring distance and the piping distance but also is required for illumination control and dimming control The number of circuit breakers and the number of relays can be drastically reduced, so that not only the construction cost is reduced but also the power consumption due to the wiring can be reduced.
