Insbesondere offenbart diese Schrift ein Verfahren zur Zuordnung von Gruppenadressen an die Leuchten bzw. elektrischen Verbraucher des Beleuchtungssystems. Auf welche Weise die Identifizierung der einzelnen Leuchten durch die Steuerungseinrichtungen erfolgt, ist in der Offenlegungsschrift EP 0 639 938 A1 nicht beschrieben.The European patent application EP 0 639 938 A1 describes a method for Control of a lighting system according to the preamble of the claim 1. In particular, this document discloses a method for assigning Group addresses to the lights or electrical consumers of the lighting system.

Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Verfahren zur Inbetriebnahme eines Beleuchtungssystems gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 anzugeben, das während einer Inbetriebnahmephase des Beleuchtungssystems mit einfachen Mitteln eine Identifizierung jedes einzelnen, einer Steuerungseinrichtung zuzuordnenden elektrischen Betriebsmittels durch diese Steuerungseinrichtung ermöglicht.It is the object of the invention to provide a method for starting up a lighting system specify according to the preamble of claim 1, which during a commissioning phase of the lighting system with simple means Identification of each individual electrical device to be assigned to a control device Operating resources made possible by this control device.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of Claim 1 solved. Particularly advantageous embodiments of the invention are shown in described the subclaims.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Inbetriebnahme eines Beleuchtungssystems,
das mehrere mit Lampen und Betriebsmitteln zum Betreiben dieser Lampen bestückte
elektrische Leuchten, mindestens eine Steuerungseinrichtung zur Ansteuerung
der elektrischen Betriebsmittel und Bedienungselemente zur Bedienung und
Programmierung der mindestens einen Steuerungseinrichtung besitzt, weist während
einer Inbetriebnahmephase des Beleuchtungssystems Verfahrensschritte zur Zuordnung
von Adressen an die elektrischen Betriebsmittel durch die mindestens eine
Steuerungseinrichtung auf. Erfindungsgemäß werden zur Zuweisung von individuellen
Adressen an die elektrischen Betriebsmittel folgende Verfahrensschritte durchgeführt:
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren erlaubt mit einfachen Mitteln eine individuelle Adressenzuweisung an jede Leuchte beziehungsweise an jedes Betriebsmittel durch die entsprechende Steuerungseinrichtung. Durch kurzzeitiges Unterbrechen des elektrischen Kontaktes zwischen dem zu adressierenden Betriebsmittel und einer von diesem Betriebsmittel zu betreibenden Lampe wird dieses Betriebsmittel bzw. diese Leuchte für die entsprechende Steuerungseinrichtung erkennbar selektiert, da das zu dieser Leuchte gehörende Betriebsmittel bei nicht angeschlossener Lampe eine Meldung an die Steuerungseinrichtung sendet. Die dem zu adressierenden Betriebsmittel zugeordneten Lampen müssen dafür nicht unbedingt in Betrieb genommen werden. Vorteilhafterweise wird der elektrische Kontakt zwischen dem Betriebsmittel und der Lampe durch ein kurzzeitiges Lösen der elektrischen Verbindung zwischen Lampenfassung und Lampensockel herbeigeführt. Bei stabförmigen Leuchtstofflampen genügt beispielsweise eine Vierteldrehung der Lampe um ihre Achse, um den elektrischen Kontakt zwischen Lampenfassung und Lampe zu unterbrechen. Die Steuerungseinrichtung reagiert während der Inbetriebnahmephase auf die kurzzeitige Unterbrechung des elektrischen Kontaktes mit der Übertragung einer Adresse an diese Leuchte bzw. an das zu dieser Leuchte gehörende, die Lampe betreibende Betriebsmittel und anschließender Aufhebung der Selektion dieses Betriebsmittels. Das Betriebsmittel speichert die ihm zugewiesene Adresse in einem nicht-flüchtigen Speicher. Die erfindungsgemäße Art der Adressenzuweisung erfordert keine Codierungsschalter an den Betriebsmitteln. Insbesondere müssen die Betriebsmittel, die üblicherweise in der Leuchte versteckt angeordnet sind, für das Initialisierungsverfahren nicht zugänglich gemacht werden. Außerdem ist für die Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Initialisierungsverfahrens kein Fachpersonal erforderlich.The method according to the invention allows an individual with simple means Allocation of addresses to each luminaire or to each device the corresponding control device. By briefly interrupting the electrical contact between the equipment to be addressed and one of This operating device or lamp becomes this operating device Luminaire for the corresponding control device selected recognizable, because that too equipment belonging to this luminaire a message when the lamp is not connected sends to the control device. The equipment to be addressed assigned lamps do not necessarily have to be put into operation. The electrical contact between the equipment and the Lamp by briefly disconnecting the electrical connection between the lamp holder and lamp base brought about. With rod-shaped fluorescent lamps is sufficient for example, a quarter turn of the lamp around its axis to the electrical Interrupt contact between lamp holder and lamp. The control device reacts to the brief interruption during the commissioning phase electrical contact with the transmission of an address to it Luminaire or to the equipment belonging to this luminaire that operates the lamp and then deselection of this equipment. The resource stores the address assigned to it in a non-volatile memory. The type of address assignment according to the invention does not require any coding switches on the resources. In particular, the resources that are usually are hidden in the luminaire for the initialization process not be made accessible. In addition, for the implementation of the invention Initialization process requires no specialist staff.
Nachstehend wird die Erfindung anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels
näher erläutert. Die Figur zeigt ein schematisiertes Blockschaltbild eines Beleuchtungssystems
anhand dessen das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren beispielhaft näher
erläutert wird. Das Beleuchtungssystem besitzt eine Vielzahl von elektrischen
Leuchten L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6, von denen in der Figur nur sechs schematisch abgebildet
sind. Jede dieser Leuchten L1 bis L6 besteht aus einem Betriebsgerät B1,
B2, B3, B4, B5, B6 und mindestens einer daran angeschlossenen Lampe LP1, LP2,
LP3, LP4, LP5, LP6, LP7, LP8. Die Lampen sind jeweils in eine Lampenfassung
(nicht abgebildet) der entsprechenden Leuchte eingesetzt. An die Betriebsgeräte B1
bis B3 ist beispielsweise jeweils eine Leuchtstofflampe LP1 bis LP3 angeschlossen,
während an dem Betriebsgerät B4 beispielsweise zwei in Serie geschaltete Leuchtstofflampen
LP4, LP5 betrieben werden. Das Betriebsgerät B5 dient beispielsweise
zum Betreiben einer Niedervolt-Halogenglühlampe LP6, während an das Betriebsgerät
B6 beispielsweise zwei Niedervolt-Halogenglühlampe LP7, LP8 angeschlossen
sind. Zur Ansteuerung der elektrischen Leuchten L1 bis L6 ist eine Steuerungseinrichtung
100 vorgesehen, die über eine zweiadrige Steuerleitung 102 mit dem Betriebsgerät
B1 bis B6 jeder von dieser Steuerungseinrichtung St anzusteuernden
Leuchte L1 bis L6 verbunden ist. Die Kommunikationsschnittstelle jedes dieser Betriebsgeräte
B1 bis B6 ist mit den Adern der zweiadrigen Steuerleitung 102 verbunden.
Ferner weist das Beleuchtungssystem Bedienungselemente S zur Bedienung und
zur Programmierung der Steuerungseinrichtung St auf, die beispielsweise als Schalter,
Taster oder Regler ausgebildet sind.The invention based on a preferred embodiment
explained in more detail. The figure shows a schematic block diagram of a lighting system
on the basis of which the method according to the invention is exemplified
is explained. The lighting system has a variety of electrical
Lights L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6, of which only six are shown schematically in the figure
are. Each of these lights L1 to L6 consists of an operating device B1,
B2, B3, B4, B5, B6 and at least one lamp LP1, LP2 connected to it,
LP3, LP4, LP5, LP6, LP7, LP8. The lamps are each in a lamp holder
(not shown) of the corresponding lamp. To the operating devices B1
to B3, for example, a fluorescent lamp LP1 to LP3 is connected,
while on the control gear B4, for example, two fluorescent lamps connected in series
LP4, LP5 are operated. Operating device B5 is used, for example
for operating a low-voltage halogen lamp LP6 while connected to the control gear

Während der erstmaligen Inbetriebnahme des Beleuchtungssystems muß eine Initialisierung
des Systems durchgeführt werden, damit die Steuerungseinrichtung St die
ihr zuzuordnenden Betriebsgeräte B1 bis B6 identifizieren kann. Zu diesem Zweck
werden zunächst sämtliche Betriebsgeräte B1 bis B6, die der Steuerungseinrichtung
St zugeordnet werden sollen, eingeschaltet. Für diesen Einschaltvorgang ist die
Steuerungseinrichtung St nicht erforderlich. Anschließend wird durch Betätigen eines
oder mehrerer Bedienungselemente S das programmgesteuerte Initialisierungsverfahren
eingeleitet. Die Steuerungseinrichtung St schaltet daraufhin in den Initialisierungsmodus
und sendet über die Steuerleitung 102 an sämtliche daran angeschlossenen
Betriebsgeräte B1 bis B6 den Startbefehl des Initialisierungsverfahrens. Anschließend
überprüft die Steuerungseinrichtung St in periodisch wiederkehrenden
Zeitabständen, ob eine Leuchte L1 bis L6 bzw. ein Betriebsgerät B1 bis B6 einer
Leuchte L1 bis L6 selektiert wurde. Um beispielsweise das Betriebsgerät B4 zu selektieren,
wird die elektrische Verbindung zu einer der an dieses Betriebsgerät B4
angeschlossenen Lampe LP4 oder LP5 unterbrochen. Dazu genügt es, den elektrischen
Kontakt zwischen der Lampe LP4 oder LP5 und der ihr zugeordneten Lampenfassung
kurzzeitig zu unterbrechen. Das Betriebsgerät B4 reagiert während der
Initialisierungsphase auf das Unterbrechen des elektrischen Kontaktes zur Lampe
LP4 oder LP5 mit einer Rückmeldung an die Steuerungseinrichtung St. Durch diese
Rückmeldung ist das Betriebsgerät B4 selektiert. Die Steuerungseinrichtung St überträgt
daraufhin eine noch ungenutzte Adresse aus ihrem Adressenvorrat an das selektierte
Betriebsgerät B4. Das selektierte Betriebsgerät B4 speichert diese ihm zugewiesene
Adresse in einem nicht-flüchtigen Speicher des Betriebsgerätes B4 als
seine Geräteadresse und die Selektion des Betriebsgerätes B4 bzw. der Leuchte L4
wird aufgehoben. Mit den übrigen der Steuerungseinrichtung St noch zuzuordnenden
Betriebsgeräten bzw. Leuchten wird auf dieselbe Weise verfahren. Nachdem allen
Betriebsgeräten auf diese Weise eine Geräteadresse zugewiesen wurde, wird die Initialisierungsphase
durch Eingabe des entsprechenden Befehls über die Bedienungselemente
S beendet. Jede der Leuchten L1 bis L6 bzw. jedes der Betriebsgeräte B1
bis B6 verfügt am Ende der Initialisierungsphase über eine individuelle Geräteadresse,
die eine Identifizierung jeder dieser Leuchten L1 bis L6 durch die Steuerungseinrichtung
St erlaubt.During the initial start-up of the lighting system, an initialization must be carried out
of the system are performed so that the control device St die
can identify operating devices B1 to B6 to be assigned. To this end
First all operating devices B1 to B6, the control device
St should be assigned, switched on. For this switch-on process is the
Control device St not required. Then by pressing
or several operating elements S the program-controlled initialization process
initiated. The control device St then switches to the initialization mode

Durch die Zuordnung von Geräteadressen werden die Betriebsgeräte bzw. Leuchten unterscheidbar. Dadurch wird eine nachfolgende Zusammenfassung einzelner Betriebsgeräte bzw. Leuchten zu Gruppen möglich. Sie ist allerdings für das Funktionieren des Beleuchtungssystems nicht erforderlich.By assigning device addresses, the control gear or lights distinguishable. This is a subsequent summary of individual control gear or luminaires in groups possible. However, it is for the functioning of the lighting system is not required.
Das erfindungsgemäße Inbetriebnahmeverfahren kann zu einem beliebigen späteren Zeitpunkt nach der erstmaligen Inbetriebnahme des Beleuchtungssystems nochmals durchgeführt werden, wenn beispielsweise weitere elektrische Betriebsmittel beziehungsweise Leuchten zum Beleuchtungssystem hinzugefügt werden.The commissioning method according to the invention can be used at any later time Time after the initial start-up of the lighting system be carried out if, for example, further electrical equipment or Luminaires can be added to the lighting system.
