This makes the supply unit more compact and be kept simple, so that the required installation effort is significantly reduced.
Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist weiter eine Steuereinheit in der Versorgungseinheit enthalten, die auf der Grundlage der erkannten Identität der LED-Einheit die Leistungsversorgung der LED-Einheit steuert. Hiermit wird es ermöglicht, die erkannte Identität der angeschlossenen LED-Einheiten auszuwerten und entsprechend zu steuern, so dass die Versorgungseinheit automatisch immer die richtige Leistungsversorgung bereitstellt, wenn zum Beispiel eine neue oder zusätzliche LED-Einheit mit gegebenenfalls anderer Nennlast an die Versorgungseinheit angeschlossen wird. Gegebenenfalls kann die Steuereinheit auch die Leistungsversorgung unterbinden und eine Rückmeldung über den Zustand der angeschlossenen LED-Einheit ausgeben, wenn diese zum Beispiel defekt oder mit der Versorgungseinheit nicht kompatibel ist. Die Erkennung und die Leistungsversorgung erfolgen vorzugsweise ausschließlich über zwei Versorgungsanschlüsse.According to an advantageous embodiment, there is also a control unit in the supply unit included based on the recognized identity of the LED unit controls the power supply of the LED unit. This enables evaluate the recognized identity of the connected LED units and accordingly control, so that the supply unit automatically always the right one Provides power supply when, for example, a new or additional one LED unit with possibly different nominal load connected to the supply unit becomes.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Erkennung der Identität wenigstens einer LED-Einheit weist folgende Schritte auf: Bereitstellen einer ersten elektrischen Größe für die zu erkennende LED-Einheit, Erkennen der Identität der LED-Einheit anhand einer von der LED-Einheit im Ansprechen auf die erste elektrische Größe bereitgestellten zweiten elektrischen Größe. Das Erkennen der Identität erfolgt über zur Leistungsversorgung der LED-Einheit dienende Versorgungsanschlüsse.The method according to the invention for recognizing the identity of at least one The LED unit has the following steps: providing a first electrical variable for the LED unit to be recognized, recognizing the identity of the LED unit based on one provided by the LED unit in response to the first electrical quantity second electrical quantity. Identity is recognized via supply connections for the power supply of the LED unit.
Nach einer vorteilhaften Variante umfasst das Verfahren weiter die Steuerung der Leistungsversorgung der LED-Einheit auf der Grundlage der erkannten Identität der LED-Einheit. Hierdurch kann nicht nur die Identität einer angeschlossenen LED-Einheit erkannt werden, sondern die Informationen über die erkannte Identität kann verarbeitet und die Leistungsversorgung entsprechend gesteuert werden. According to an advantageous variant, the method further comprises controlling the Power supply to the LED unit based on the recognized identity of the LED unit. This means that not only the identity of a connected LED unit can be recognized, but the information about the identified identity can processed and the power supply controlled accordingly.
Das Verfahren kann ergänzend beim Betrieb der LED-Einheit wiederholt ausgeführt werden. Hierdurch kann bei Wechsel der LED-Einheit während des Betriebs, die nötige Leistungsversorgung überprüft und gegebenenfalls angepasst werden. Vorzugsweise erfolgen das Erkennen und die Leistungsversorgung der LED-Einheit ausschließlich über zwei Versorgungsanschlüsse.The method can additionally be carried out repeatedly when the LED unit is in operation become. As a result, when changing the LED unit during operation, the necessary power supply checked and adjusted if necessary. Preferably the LED unit is recognized and supplied with power exclusively via two supply connections.
Zum Erkennen der Identität der wenigstens einen LED-Einheit wird bevorzugt als erste elektrische Größe eine im Verhältnis zur Leistungsversorgung kleine Spannung angelegt, und die LED-Einheit wird durch eine Impedanz einer Identifikationseinheit als zweite elektrische Größe erkannt. Dabei ist die Impedanz der Identifikationseinheit gegenüber der bei der angelegten kleinen Spannung wirksamen LED-Impedanz klein. Dies hat zur Folge, dass die Versorgungseinheit von der LED-Einheit im wesentlichen nur die Identifikationseinheit "sieht" und nur die von der Identifikationseinheit bereitgestellte zweite elektrische Größe auswertet, ohne dass ein Einfluss nachgeschalteter LEDs die zurückgegebene zweite elektrische Größe deutlich beeinflusst. Bei der Impedanz kann es sich im einfachsten Fall um einen ohmschen Widerstand handeln. Es sind aber auch aktive Bauelemente möglich, die von sich aus eine elektrische Größe erzeugen. Ebenso können zu dem genannten Zweck digitale Bauelemente dienen. Vorzugsweise handelt es sich bei der Identifikationseinheit ein von den LEDs getrenntes Bauteil, das den LEDs in der LED-Einheit beispielsweise vorgeschaltet sein kann.To identify the identity of the at least one LED unit, a voltage which is small in relation to the power supply is preferably applied as the first electrical variable, and the LED unit is recognized as a second electrical variable by an impedance of an identification unit. The impedance of the identification unit is small compared to the LED impedance effective when the small voltage is applied. The consequence of this is that the supply unit essentially only " sees" the identification unit from the LED unit and only evaluates the second electrical variable provided by the identification unit, without the influence of downstream LEDs significantly influencing the returned second electrical variable. In the simplest case, the impedance can be an ohmic resistance. However, active components are also possible that generate an electrical quantity by themselves. Digital components can also be used for the purpose mentioned. The identification unit is preferably a component which is separate from the LEDs and which can be connected upstream of the LEDs in the LED unit, for example.
Die erfindungsgemäße LED-Einheit zum Anschließen an die oben erwähnte Versorgungseinheit weist wenigstens eine LED, Versorgungsanschlüsse zur Leistungsversorgung der Versorgungseinheit, und eine Identifikationseinheit mit bei der Erkennung der Identität der LED-Einheit erfassbaren technischen Eigenschaften auf. Hierbei ist die Identifikationseinheit über die Versorgungsanschlüsse identifizierbar.The LED unit according to the invention for connection to the above-mentioned supply unit has at least one LED, supply connections for power supply the supply unit, and an identification unit with the detection the technical properties of the identity of the LED unit. Here, the identification unit can be identified via the supply connections.
Vorzugsweise kann die Erkennung und Leistungsversorgung ausschließlich über zwei Versorgungsanschlüsse erfolgen, über welche die LED-Einheit mit der Versorgungseinheit verbunden wird.The detection and power supply can preferably be carried out exclusively via two supply connections are made via which the LED unit with the supply unit is connected.
Die Identifikationseinheit kann abschaltbar sein. Dies ist von Vorteil, da sie bei der eigentlichen Leistungsversorgung nicht benötigt und damit ein unnötiger Leistungsverbrauch vermieden wird. Die Impedanz der Identifikationseinheit ist vorzugsweise gegenüber der bei einer an die LED-Einheit angelegten im Verhältnis zur Leistungsversorgung kleinen Spannung wirksamen LED-Impedanz klein.The identification unit can be switched off. This is an advantage as it is used in the actual power supply is not required and thus unnecessary power consumption is avoided. The impedance of the identification unit is preferred compared to the one in relation to the power supply applied to the LED unit small voltage effective led impedance small.
Voranstehend wurde im Zusammenhang mit der Leistungsversorgung und der elektrischen Größen von der Regelung der Spannung gesprochen. Natürlich ist hier auch die Regelung des Ausgangsstroms der Versorgungseinheit möglich.The foregoing has been in connection with the power supply and the electrical Quantities spoken of the regulation of the voltage. Of course, here too the regulation of the output current of the supply unit is possible.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Figur, die eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung als Schaltbild zeigt, näher erläutert.The invention is explained below with reference to the figure, which is an embodiment of the Invention as a circuit diagram shows, explained in more detail.
Die Figur zeigt ein System aus einer Versorgungseinheit 1 und einer LED-Einheit 2,
welche über die Versorgungsleitungen 4a, 4b miteinander verbunden sind. Optional
können an der LED-Einheit 2 weitere Anschlüsse 8 zum Anschließen weiterer LED-Einheiten
2 vorgesehen werden, die dann ebenfalls durch die Versorgungseinheit 1
die erforderliche Leistungsversorgung erhalten können.The figure shows a system consisting of a supply unit 1 and an
Die Versorgungseinheit 1 enthält eine Erkennungseinheit 7, über die die Versorgungseinheit
1 Informationen über die angeschlossenen LED-Einheiten 2 erkennen
kann, beispielsweise die für die Leistungsversorgung durch die Versorgungseinheit
1 zum Betrieb der LED-Einheit 2 erforderliche Versorgungsspannung oder dergleichen.
Zur Bereitstellung solcher Informationen ist in der erfindungsgemäßen LED-Einheit
2 neben den LEDs 9 eine Identifikationseinheit 3 vorgesehen. Die Identifikationseinheit
3 liefert Informationen über die Identität der entsprechenden LED-Einheit
2 an die Erkennungseinheit 7 in der Versorgungseinheit 1 zurück. Dies geschieht
dadurch, dass die Erkennungseinheit 7 zunächst über die Versorgungsleitungen
4a, 4b eine elektrische Größe (in der Regel eine gegenüber der Versorgungsspannung
für die angeschlossenen LEDs kleine Spannung) an die LED-Einheit
2 ausgibt (Stellung A des Schalters 13). Im Falle eines Spannungssignals
kann die Identifikationseinheit 3 lediglich aus einer für die LED-Einheit charakteristischen
Impedanz, einem ohmschen Widerstand, bestehen. Diese Impedanz ist vorzugsweise
klein gegenüber der bei einer kleinen Spannung effektiven Impedanz der
LEDs 9, so dass etwa bei einer angelegten Spannung ein Strom lediglich durch die
Identifikationseinheit 3 fließt und die Erkennungseinheit 7 die LEDs 9 daher nicht
"sieht" und somit ausschließlich eine Rückmeldung der Identifikationseinheit 3 an
die Erkennungseinheit 7 erfolgt. The supply unit 1 contains a
Wird zum Beispiel eine kleine Spannung durch die Erkennungseinheit 7 in der Versorgungseinheit
1 an die LED-Einheit 2 angelegt (Schalterstellung A), so fließt ein
Strom durch die Identifikationseinheit 3, insbesondere den Widerstand 11, über die
Anschlüsse 4a, 4b zurück zur Erkennungseinheit 7 und wird dort gemessen, und der
Widerstand 11 in der Identifikationseinheit 3 kann so ermittelt werden. Anstelle eines
Widerstandes kann die Identifikationseinheit auch andere elektrische oder elektronische
(auch aktive) Bauelemente enthalten, die geeignet sind, um ein für die Identifikationseinheit
3 der entsprechenden LED-Einheit 2 charakteristisches Signal im
Ansprechen auf eine von der Erkennungseinheit 7 über die Versorgungsanschlüsse
4a, 4b bereitgestellte elektrische Größe auszugeben.For example, if the
Abhängig von der elektrischen Größe (z. B. Strom), die von der Identifikationseinheit
3 zurückgegeben wurde, kann die Erkennungseinheit 7 nun die für die angeschlossene
LED-Einheit 2 erforderliche Leistungsversorgung (Versorgungsspannung)
bestimmen. Über eine optionale Steuereinheit 6 kann die Information über die Leistungsversorgung
anschließend an eine in der Versorgungseinheit 1 vorgesehene
Ausgabeeinheit 5 weitergeleitet werden, die zum Beispiel die nötige Versorgungsspannung
für die LED-Einheit(en) 2 erzeugt und ausgibt. Hierzu schaltet die Steuereinheit
6 in den Schalterzustand B um, und die von der Ausgabeeinheit 5 erzeugte
Leistungsversorgung der LED-Einheit(en) 2 erfolgt über die Versorgungsanschlüsse
4a, 4b.Depending on the electrical size (e.g. current) by the
Da auch die Identifikationseinheit 3 einen Leistungsverbraucher darstellt, kann diese
etwa über einen durch ein Steuerelement 10 ausgelösten Schalter 12 optional abgeschaltet
werden, wenn die Leistungsversorgung beginnt. Dies kann zum Beispiel
dadurch geschehen, dass das Steuerelement 10 eine von der Versorgungseinheit 1
ausgegebene Versorgungsspannung erkennt und daraufhin den Schalter 12 in den
offenen Zustand umschaltet, so dass ein Versorgungsstrom nur noch durch die
LEDs 9 fließt.Since the
Während der Leistungsversorgung kann in den Erkennungsmodus (Schalterstellung
A) umgeschaltet werden, etwa um zu überprüfen, ob eine LED-Einheit 2 defekt oder
ausgetauscht worden ist. Dadurch können die Versorgungsparameter während des
Betriebs neu bestimmt und im Ausgabemodus (Schalterstellung 2) entsprechend
angepasst werden. While the power supply is in the detection mode (switch position
A) are switched over, for example to check whether an
Durch den erfindungsgemäßen Aufbau können sowohl die Versorgung der LED-Einheiten
2 als auch die Erkennung der Identität, d. h. der Versorgungsparameter,
der LED-Einheiten 2 ausschließlich über die Versorgungsanschlüsse 4a und 4b erfolgen.
Weitere Leitungen oder Anschlüsse sind nicht notwendig, so dass der Einsatz
komplizierter und komplexer Schaltungen zur LED-Versorgung vermieden wird.The structure according to the invention can both supply the
Claims (13)
wobei die Impedanz der Identifikationseinheit (3) gegenüber der bei der angelegten kleinen Spannung wirksamen LED-Impedanz klein ist.Method according to one of claims 4-7, characterized in that in order to recognize the identity of the LED unit (2) a voltage which is low in relation to the power supply is applied and the LED unit (2) is recognized by an impedance of an identification unit (3) becomes,
wherein the impedance of the identification unit (3) is small compared to the LED impedance effective at the applied low voltage.
