Thereby, in the lighting system 1 , the controller 20 can collectively control the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 , or the controller 20 can individually control the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 .
　また、照明システム１は、コントローラ２０が複数の照明器具３０のそれぞれとＲＤＭ通信可能か否か、つまりＲＤＭ通信によって複数の照明器具３０のそれぞれを検出できるか否かを、一定期間ごとに確認する。これにより、複数の照明器具３０の設置時にはＲＤＭ通信を行うことができていても、何らかの理由でＲＤＭ通信できなくなった照明器具３０、つまり検出できなくなった未検出の照明器具３０の有無を把握することができる。 In addition, the lighting system 1 confirms at regular intervals whether the controller 20 is capable of RDM communication with each of the plurality of lighting fixtures 30, that is, whether or not each of the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 can be detected by RDM communication. .

　制御処理部１１は、ＲＤＭ通信規格に準拠している複数の照明器具３０を制御するコントローラ２０に対して、複数の照明器具３０とＲＤＭ通信を試みる指示を出力する。つまり、制御処理部１１は、複数の照明器具３０とコントローラ２０とがＲＤＭ通信可能な状態であるか否かを確認するように、一定期間ごとに、複数の照明器具３０とＲＤＭ通信を試みる指示をコントローラ２０に出力する。これにより、コントローラ２０が複数の照明器具３０のそれぞれに対してＲＤＭ通信を試みることで、制御処理部１１は、複数の照明器具３０のうちの少なくとも一部の照明器具３０のそれぞれに対応するＲＤＭ通信に関する情報をコントローラ２０から取得する。 The control processing unit 11 outputs an instruction to attempt RDM communication with the multiple lighting fixtures 30 to the controller 20 that controls the multiple lighting fixtures 30 conforming to the RDM communication standard. In other words, the control processing unit 11 instructs to attempt RDM communication with the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 at regular intervals so as to confirm whether the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 and the controller 20 are in a state in which RDM communication is possible. to the controller 20 . As a result, the controller 20 attempts RDM communication with each of the plurality of lighting fixtures 30, and the control processing unit 11 performs RDM communication corresponding to each of at least some of the lighting fixtures 30 among the plurality of lighting fixtures 30. Information about communication is acquired from the controller 20 .
　ここで、ＲＤＭ通信に関する情報には、照明器具３０のＤＭＸアドレス、照明器具３０のＩＤ、照明器具３０の情報、照明器具３０のパラメータ等が含まれている。 Here, the information related to RDM communication includes the DMX address of the lighting fixture 30, the ID of the lighting fixture 30, the information of the lighting fixture 30, the parameters of the lighting fixture 30, and the like.

FIG. FIG. 2 illustrates a case where the control processing unit 11 associates a DMX address of information about RDM communication with information indicating position coordinates. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing a state before the icons 30a of the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 are changed in the layout diagram and the icons 30a of the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 displayed on the display screen 15a of the terminal device 14, and a schematic diagram showing a state before the icons 30a of the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 are changed. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a state after the icon 30a of the lighting device 30 is changed. FIG.
　図１～図３に示すように、制御処理部１１は、指示に応じてコントローラ２０から取得したＲＤＭ通信に関する情報と、複数の照明器具３０のそれぞれのアイコン３０ａが有する実空間位置に対応した位置座標を示す情報とを紐付けている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the control processing unit 11 acquires information about RDM communication from the controller 20 in response to an instruction, and a position corresponding to the real space position of each icon 30a of each of the plurality of lighting fixtures 30. It is associated with information indicating coordinates.
　具体的には、応答によりコントローラ２０に検出された照明器具３０については、制御処理部１１は、ＲＤＭ通信に関する情報と、表示画面１５ａに表示されており、当該ＲＤＭ通信に関する情報を保有する照明器具３０に対応するアイコン３０ａの位置座標とを紐付けている。 Specifically, for the lighting fixture 30 detected by the controller 20 in response, the control processing unit 11 displays the information on the RDM communication and the lighting fixture that is displayed on the display screen 15a and holds the information on the RDM communication. 30 are associated with the positional coordinates of the icon 30a corresponding to the icon 30a.
　また、コントローラ２０に応答しなかった未検出の照明器具３０については、制御処理部１１は、コントローラ２０からＲＤＭ通信に関する情報を取得しなくてもよい。この場合、記憶部１３における複数の照明器具３０のＲＤＭ通信に関する情報から未検出の照明器具３０を抽出してもよい。また、コントローラ２０に応答しなかった未検出の照明器具３０については、制御処理部１１は、コントローラ２０から未検出の照明器具３０のＤＭＸアドレス含んだＲＤＭ通信に関する情報として取得してもよい。 Also, for undetected lighting fixtures 30 that have not responded to the controller 20 , the control processing unit 11 does not need to acquire information on RDM communication from the controller 20 . In this case, the undetected lighting fixtures 30 may be extracted from the information on the RDM communication of the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 in the storage unit 13 . For the undetected lighting fixtures 30 that did not respond to the controller 20 , the control processing unit 11 may acquire from the controller 20 the information about the RDM communication including the DMX address of the undetected lighting fixtures 30 .
　これにより、制御処理部１１は、応答によりコントローラ２０に検出された照明器具３０と、コントローラ２０に応答しなかった未検出の照明器具３０とを把握することができる。 Thereby, the control processing unit 11 can grasp the lighting fixtures 30 detected by the controller 20 in response and the undetected lighting fixtures 30 that did not respond to the controller 20 .
　また、制御処理部１１は、応答しなかった未検出の照明器具３０の周囲に配置されている照明器具３０に対して、ＲＤＭ通信によって点灯信号又は点滅信号を送信するための指示をコントローラ２０に出力する。コントローラ２０が応答しなかった未検出の照明器具３０の周囲に配置されている照明器具３０に対して点灯信号又は点滅信号を送信する。これにより、実空間において、図４のドットのハッチングで示すように、未検出の照明器具３０の周囲に配置されている検出された照明器具３０が点灯又は点滅状態となる。その結果、ユーザは、実空間における未検出の照明器具３０を容易に認識することができる。図４は、実空間に配置した複数の照明器具３０を示す模式図である。 In addition, the control processing unit 11 instructs the controller 20 to transmit a lighting signal or a blinking signal by RDM communication to the lighting fixtures 30 arranged around the undetected lighting fixtures 30 that did not respond. Output. A lighting signal or a flashing signal is transmitted to the lighting fixtures 30 arranged around the undetected lighting fixtures 30 to which the controller 20 has not responded. As a result, in the real space, the detected lighting fixtures 30 arranged around the undetected lighting fixtures 30 are turned on or blinked, as indicated by the dotted hatching in FIG. As a result, the user can easily recognize undetected lighting fixtures 30 in real space. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing a plurality of lighting fixtures 30 arranged in real space.
　ここで、未検出の照明器具３０の周辺に配置されている照明器具３０とは、未検出の照明器具３０の実空間位置を中心として所定距離内に存在する照明器具３０、未検出の照明器具３０から所定方向に存在する照明器具３０等である。 Here, the lighting fixtures 30 arranged around the undetected lighting fixtures 30 refer to the lighting fixtures 30 existing within a predetermined distance from the real space position of the undetected lighting fixtures 30, and the undetected lighting fixtures 30. 30 and the like exist in a predetermined direction.
　なお、制御処理部１１は、未検出の照明器具３０の実空間位置と、未検出の照明器具３０の周辺に位置する照明器具３０の実空間位置を抽出しているが、実空間位置の代わりに配置図上の位置座標を用いてもよい。この場合、未検出の照明器具３０の周辺に位置する照明器具３０とは、未検出の照明器具３０の位置座標を中心として所定距離内に存在する照明器具３０、未検出の照明器具３０から所定方向に存在する照明器具３０等である。 Note that the control processing unit 11 extracts the real space positions of the undetected lighting fixtures 30 and the real space positions of the lighting fixtures 30 located around the undetected lighting fixtures 30, but instead of the real space positions You may use the position coordinates on the layout map for . In this case, the lighting fixtures 30 positioned around the undetected lighting fixture 30 are the lighting fixtures 30 existing within a predetermined distance from the position coordinates of the undetected lighting fixture 30, and the lighting fixtures 30 existing within a predetermined distance from the undetected lighting fixture 30 luminaires 30 and the like existing in the direction.
　表示制御部１２は、複数の照明器具３０が配置されている実空間を模した配置図を表示する表示画面１５ａにおいて、複数の照明器具３０の実空間位置のそれぞれに対応した位置座標に複数の照明器具３０を示すそれぞれのアイコン３０ａを配置図に表示する機能を有する。つまり、表示制御部１２は、複数の照明器具３０のそれぞれに対応するアイコン３０ａを、複数の照明器具３０のそれぞれの実空間位置に対応するように配置図上に配置し、アイコン３０ａ及び配置図を表示装置１５の表示画面１５ａに表示させるように制御する。配置図には、実空間に配置されている複数の照明器具３０のそれぞれの実空間位置と同様の配置となるように、複数の照明器具３０を示すそれぞれのアイコン３０ａが配置される。 The display control unit 12 sets the position coordinates corresponding to the real space positions of the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 on the display screen 15a that displays a layout diagram simulating the real space in which the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 are arranged. It has a function of displaying each icon 30a indicating the lighting device 30 in the layout. That is, the display control unit 12 arranges the icon 30a corresponding to each of the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 on the layout drawing so as to correspond to the real space position of each of the plurality of lighting fixtures 30, and displays the icon 30a and the layout drawing. is displayed on the display screen 15 a of the display device 15 . In the layout drawing, respective icons 30a representing the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 are arranged so as to have the same arrangement as the real space position of each of the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 arranged in the real space.
　配置図は、平面図又は立体図である。なお、配置図は、実空間を厳密に模した図でなくてもよく、実空間と異なる部分が存在していてもよい。 The layout plan is a plan view or a three-dimensional view. Note that the layout diagram does not have to be a diagram that strictly imitates the real space, and there may be portions different from the real space.
　位置座標は、照明器具３０を示すアイコン３０ａに対応付けられ、配置図上の位置を示す座標である。位置座標は、二次元座標又は三次元座標である。 The positional coordinates are coordinates that are associated with the icon 30a that indicates the lighting device 30 and indicate the position on the layout map. The position coordinates are two-dimensional coordinates or three-dimensional coordinates.
　図１及び図３に示すように、表示制御部１２は、表示画面１５ａにおいて、コントローラ２０が複数の照明器具３０に対してＲＤＭ通信を試みた結果、応答により検出された照明器具３０と、応答しなかった未検出の照明器具３０とに対応するそれぞれのアイコン３０ａの表示を変更する。図３では、応答により検出された照明器具３０のアイコン３０ａは斜線のハッチングで示し、応答しなかった未検出の照明器具３０のアイコン３０ａはドットのハッチングで示している。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the display control unit 12 displays the controller 20 on the display screen 15a, as a result of attempting RDM communication with the plurality of lighting fixtures 30, the lighting fixtures 30 detected by the responses, and the response The display of each icon 30a corresponding to the undetected lighting device 30 that has not been detected is changed. In FIG. 3, the icons 30a of the lighting fixtures 30 detected by response are hatched with oblique lines, and the icons 30a of undetected lighting fixtures 30 that did not respond are hatched with dots.
　つまり、表示制御部１２は、コントローラ２０が複数の照明器具３０に対してＲＤＭ通信を試みる前に対して、コントローラ２０が複数の照明器具３０に対してＲＤＭ通信を試みた後で、アイコン３０ａの表示を変更する。言い換えれば、表示制御部１２は、コントローラ２０が複数の照明器具３０に対してＲＤＭ通信を試みない照明器具３０に対しては、アイコン３０ａの表示を変更しない。 That is, the display control unit 12 changes the icon 30a after the controller 20 attempts RDM communication with the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 before the controller 20 attempts RDM communication with the plurality of lighting fixtures 30. change the display. In other words, the display control unit 12 does not change the display of the icons 30 a for the lighting fixtures 30 with which the controller 20 does not attempt RDM communication with the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 .
　また、表示制御部１２は、表示画面１５ａにおいて、ＲＤＭ通信を試みた結果、応答しなかった未検出の照明器具３０に対応するアイコン３０ａを、応答により検出された照明器具３０に対応するアイコン３０ａと異なる表示にする。例えば、表示制御部１２は、表示画面１５ａにおいて、ＲＤＭ通信を試みた結果、応答しなかった未検出の照明器具３０に対応するアイコン３０ａの色を変更する。なお、表示制御部１２は、ＲＤＭ通信を試みた結果、応答しなかった未検出の照明器具３０に対応するアイコン３０ａの形状をさらに変更したり、アイコン３０ａの表示を点滅表示にさらに変更したりしてもよい。 In addition, the display control unit 12 changes the icon 30a corresponding to the undetected lighting fixture 30 that did not respond as a result of attempting the RDM communication to the icon 30a corresponding to the lighting fixture 30 detected by the response on the display screen 15a. display differently. For example, on the display screen 15a, the display control unit 12 changes the color of the icon 30a corresponding to the undetected lighting device 30 that did not respond as a result of attempting RDM communication. Note that the display control unit 12 further changes the shape of the icon 30a corresponding to the undetected lighting fixture 30 that did not respond as a result of attempting the RDM communication, or further changes the display of the icon 30a to a blinking display.

　＜処理動作＞
　次に、本実施の形態における照明制御装置１０及び照明システム１の処理動作について説明する。 <Processing operation>
Next, processing operations of the lighting control device 10 and the lighting system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described.
　図５は、実施の形態に係る照明システム１の処理動作を示すフローチャートである。 FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing processing operations of the lighting system 1 according to the embodiment.
　図５に示すように、照明制御装置１０の制御処理部１１は、ＲＤＭ通信規格に準拠している複数の照明器具３０を制御するコントローラ２０に対して、複数の照明器具３０とＲＤＭ通信を試みる指示を出力する（Ｓ１１）。 As shown in FIG. 5, the control processing unit 11 of the lighting control device 10 attempts RDM communication with the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 with respect to the controller 20 that controls the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 conforming to the RDM communication standard. An instruction is output (S11).
　次に、コントローラ２０は、制御処理部１１から、複数の照明器具３０とＲＤＭ通信を試みる指示を取得することで、複数の照明器具３０に対してＲＤＭ通信を試みる（Ｓ１２）。つまり、コントローラ２０は、複数の照明器具３０のそれぞれに対して通信の要求を行う。 Next, the controller 20 attempts RDM communication with the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 by acquiring an instruction to attempt RDM communication with the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 from the control processing unit 11 (S12). That is, the controller 20 requests communication from each of the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 .
　次に、コントローラ２０は、複数の照明器具３０のうちの少なくとも一部の照明器具３０から、それぞれに対応するＲＤＭ通信に関する情報を取得する。コントローラ２０は、照明器具３０にＲＤＭ通信を試みた要求に対する照明器具３０からの応答によって、照明器具３０を検出することができる。一方、応答しなかった照明器具３０は、コントローラ２０が検出することができないため、未検出の照明器具３０となる。コントローラ２０は、応答により検出された照明器具３０に対応するＲＤＭ通信に関する情報を、照明制御装置１０に送信する。これにより、照明制御装置１０は、複数の照明器具３０のうちの少なくとも一部の照明器具３０からＲＤＭ通信に関する情報を取得することができる（Ｓ１３）。 Next, the controller 20 acquires information on RDM communication corresponding to at least some of the lighting fixtures 30 among the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 . Controller 20 can detect lighting fixture 30 by the response from lighting fixture 30 to a request to attempt RDM communication to lighting fixture 30 . On the other hand, lighting fixtures 30 that do not respond cannot be detected by the controller 20 , and therefore become undetected lighting fixtures 30 . The controller 20 transmits to the lighting control device 10 information about the RDM communication corresponding to the lighting fixture 30 detected by the response. Thereby, the lighting control device 10 can acquire information about RDM communication from at least some of the lighting fixtures 30 among the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 (S13).
　次に、制御処理部１１は、指示に応じてコントローラ２０から取得したＲＤＭ通信に関する情報と、複数の照明器具３０のそれぞれのアイコン３０ａが有する実空間位置に対応した位置座標を示す情報とを紐付けている。応答によりコントローラ２０に検出された照明器具３０については、制御処理部１１は、ＲＤＭ通信に関する情報に示される照明器具３０のＤＭＸアドレスと、ＤＭＸアドレスを保有する照明器具３０に対応するアイコン３０ａの位置座標とを紐付けている。本動作例では、ＤＭＸアドレスと位置座標とを紐付ける場合を例示しているが、これには限定されない。 Next, the control processing unit 11 links the information about the RDM communication acquired from the controller 20 in response to the instruction and the information indicating the position coordinates corresponding to the real space positions of the icons 30a of the plurality of lighting fixtures 30. attached. For the lighting fixture 30 detected by the controller 20 in response, the control processing unit 11 obtains the DMX address of the lighting fixture 30 indicated in the information on RDM communication and the position of the icon 30a corresponding to the lighting fixture 30 having the DMX address. It is associated with coordinates. In this operation example, the case of linking the DMX address and the position coordinates is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this.
　このため、コントローラ２０に応答しなかった未検出の照明器具３０については、制御処理部１１は、コントローラ２０からＲＤＭ通信に関する情報を取得しなくてもよい。この場合、制御処理部１１は、複数の照明器具３０における全てのＤＭＸアドレスを保有している記憶部１３から、全てのＤＭＸアドレスから検出された照明器具３０のＤＭＸアドレスを除いた未検出の照明器具３０のＤＭＸアドレスを抽出することで、その位置座標を抽出することができる。 For this reason, the control processing unit 11 does not need to acquire information on RDM communication from the controller 20 for undetected lighting fixtures 30 that have not responded to the controller 20 . In this case, the control processing unit 11 retrieves all the DMX addresses of the lighting fixtures 30 from the storage unit 13, which holds all the DMX addresses of the plurality of lighting fixtures 30. By extracting the DMX address of fixture 30, its position coordinates can be extracted.
　また、コントローラ２０に応答しなかった未検出の照明器具３０については、制御処理部１１は、コントローラ２０から未検出の照明器具３０のＤＭＸアドレス含んだＲＤＭ通信に関する情報として取得してもよい。この場合、コントローラ２０は、複数の照明器具３０における全てのＤＭＸアドレスを保有しており、全てのＤＭＸアドレスから検出された照明器具３０のＤＭＸアドレスを除いた未検出の照明器具３０のＤＭＸアドレスを抽出することで、その位置座標を抽出することができる。 In addition, the control processing unit 11 may acquire from the controller 20 the undetected lighting fixtures 30 that have not responded to the controller 20 as information related to RDM communication, including the DMX address of the undetected lighting fixtures 30 . In this case, the controller 20 has all the DMX addresses of the plurality of lighting fixtures 30, and the DMX addresses of the undetected lighting fixtures 30 excluding the DMX addresses of the detected lighting fixtures 30 from all the DMX addresses. By extracting, the position coordinates can be extracted.
　次に、表示制御部１２は、表示画面１５ａにおいて、コントローラ２０が複数の照明器具３０に対してＲＤＭ通信を試みた結果、応答により検出された照明器具３０と、応答しなかった未検出の照明器具３０とに対応するそれぞれのアイコン３０ａの表示を変更する（Ｓ１４）。 Next, on the display screen 15a, the display control unit 12 displays the lighting fixtures 30 detected by the response and the undetected lighting fixtures that did not respond as a result of the attempt of the RDM communication with the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 by the controller 20. The display of each icon 30a corresponding to the instrument 30 is changed (S14).
　具体的には、制御処理部１１は、応答しなかった未検出の照明器具３０のＤＭＸアドレスを抽出しており、抽出したＤＭＸアドレスに紐付けられている未検出の照明器具３０の位置座標を抽出している。制御処理部１１は、抽出した未検出の照明器具３０の位置座標に対応するアイコン３０ａの表示を、検出した照明器具３０の位置座標に対応するアイコン３０ａと異なるように変更する。 Specifically, the control processing unit 11 extracts the DMX address of the undetected lighting fixture 30 that did not respond, and extracts the position coordinates of the undetected lighting fixture 30 linked to the extracted DMX address. are extracting. The control processing unit 11 changes the display of the icon 30a corresponding to the extracted positional coordinates of the undetected lighting fixture 30 so as to be different from the icon 30a corresponding to the detected positional coordinate of the lighting fixture 30 .
　次に、制御処理部１１は、応答しなかった未検出の照明器具３０の周囲に配置されている照明器具３０に対して、ＲＤＭ通信によって点灯信号又は点滅信号を送信する指示をコントローラ２０に出力する（Ｓ１５）。 Next, the control processing unit 11 outputs to the controller 20 an instruction to transmit a lighting signal or a blinking signal by RDM communication to the lighting fixtures 30 arranged around the undetected lighting fixtures 30 that did not respond. (S15).
　具体的には、制御処理部１１は、応答しなかった未検出の照明器具３０のＤＭＸアドレスを特定し、特定したＤＭＸアドレスに紐付けられている未検出の照明器具３０の実空間位置、言い換えれば未検出の照明器具３０を示すアイコン３０ａの位置座標を抽出する。制御処理部１１は、未検出の照明器具３０の実空間位置と、未検出の照明器具３０の周辺に位置する照明器具３０の実空間位置とを抽出する。制御処理部１１は、コントローラ２０に対して、ＲＤＭ通信によって点灯信号又は点滅信号を抽出した照明器具３０に送信するための指示を出力する。コントローラ２０が抽出した照明器具３０に対して点灯信号又は点滅信号を送信するため、未検出の照明器具３０の周囲に配置されている照明器具３０が点灯又は点滅状態となる。また、未検出の照明器具３０は、消灯状態のままである。これにより、ユーザは、実空間における未検出の照明器具３０を容易に認識することができる。 Specifically, the control processing unit 11 identifies the DMX address of the undetected lighting fixture 30 that did not respond, and determines the real space position of the undetected lighting fixture 30 linked to the identified DMX address. For example, the position coordinates of the icon 30a indicating the undetected lighting device 30 are extracted. The control processing unit 11 extracts the real space positions of the undetected lighting fixtures 30 and the real space positions of the lighting fixtures 30 located around the undetected lighting fixtures 30 . The control processing unit 11 outputs an instruction to the controller 20 to transmit the lighting signal or blinking signal to the extracted lighting fixture 30 through the RDM communication. Since the controller 20 transmits a lighting signal or a blinking signal to the extracted lighting fixtures 30, the lighting fixtures 30 arranged around the undetected lighting fixtures 30 are turned on or flashing. Moreover, the undetected lighting fixtures 30 remain in the off state. This allows the user to easily recognize undetected lighting fixtures 30 in real space.
　＜作用効果＞
　次に、本実施の形態における照明制御装置１０及び照明システム１の作用効果について説明する。 <Effect>
Next, effects of the lighting control device 10 and the lighting system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described.
　例えば、施設に複数の照明器具を施工した場合、コントローラは、所定期間間隔で複数の照明器具とＲＤＭ通信することができるかどうかを確認することがある。ここで、何らかの事情により、コントローラと照明器具とがＲＤＭ通信することができなくなる場合がある。しかしながら、従来の照明制御装置では、未検出の照明器具の物理的な位置を発見し難い。このため、ＲＤＭ通信することができなくなった未検出の照明器具を特定したいという要望がある。 For example, when multiple lighting fixtures are installed in a facility, the controller may check whether RDM communication with multiple lighting fixtures is possible at predetermined intervals. Here, for some reason, RDM communication between the controller and the lighting fixture may become impossible. However, with conventional lighting control devices, it is difficult to find the physical location of undetected lighting fixtures. Therefore, there is a demand to identify undetected lighting fixtures that have become unable to perform RDM communication.

　これによれば、制御処理部１１がＲＤＭ通信に関する情報と位置座標を示す情報とを紐付けているため、未検出の照明器具３０に対応するＲＤＭ通信に関する情報から未検出の照明器具３０の位置座標を特定することができる。これにより、未検出の照明器具３０の実空間位置を特定することができる。 According to this, since the control processing unit 11 associates the information about the RDM communication with the information indicating the position coordinates, the position of the undetected lighting fixture 30 can be obtained from the information about the RDM communication corresponding to the undetected lighting fixture 30 . Coordinates can be specified. Thereby, the real space position of the undetected lighting device 30 can be specified.
　したがって、照明制御装置１０によれば、未検出の照明器具３０の位置を容易に特定することができる。 Therefore, according to the lighting control device 10, the positions of the undetected lighting fixtures 30 can be easily identified.

　この照明システム１においても、上述と同様の作用効果を奏する。 This lighting system 1 also has the same effects as described above.
　また、本実施の形態の照明制御装置１０において、表示制御部１２は、表示画面１５ａにおいて、コントローラ２０が複数の照明器具３０に対してＲＤＭ通信を試みた結果、応答により検出された照明器具３０と、応答しなかった未検出の照明器具３０とに対応するそれぞれのアイコン３０ａの表示を変更する。 Further, in the lighting control device 10 of the present embodiment, the display control unit 12 detects the lighting fixtures 30 detected by the responses from the controller 20 attempting RDM communication with the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 on the display screen 15a. , and the undetected lighting fixtures 30 that did not respond.
　これによれば、複数の照明器具３０のそれぞれとコントローラ２０とがＲＤＭ通信を行えているかどうかを、ユーザがアイコン３０ａの表示によって容易に確認することができる。 According to this, the user can easily check whether or not each of the plurality of lighting fixtures 30 and the controller 20 are performing RDM communication by displaying the icon 30a.
