Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lighting system having a control unit and at least one decentralized lamp operating device for operating a lamp, wherein the lamp operating device is operable in different operating modes.
  • lighting systems which consist of several interconnected via a bus line system lights.
  • the lights are each assigned a lamp operating device, which is responsible for the operation of the associated lamp.
  • more complex systems offer the possibility of individually controlling individual lamp operating devices from a control center in order, for example, to switch the associated lights on and off.
  • the present invention now starts from the consideration that the needs and requirements for a lighting system may change over time. For example, different areas or rooms in larger buildings can often be used by different tenants, whose wishes to the corresponding lighting system change over time, especially in a Tenant change may be the case. Thus, the case may arise that a user is initially satisfied only with switchable lights in which no dimming function is present, whereas the new tenant would be willing to accept higher costs in order to also have the opportunity to fine tune in the Brightness control to make. However, a change from one device type to another would of course be associated with an extremely high cost and effort.
  • the present invention is based on the object of specifying a way to adapt the usable range of functions of a lamp operating device in the simplest possible way to the individual needs of a user.
  • the solution according to the invention is based on the idea of basically using dimmable lamp operating devices or general devices with an extended range of functions, which, however, can be adjusted depending on the needs of the user such that they are either only switchable for the user (on / off) or - if the need exists - have an extended range of functions.
  • dimmable lamp operating devices or general devices with an extended range of functions, which, however, can be adjusted depending on the needs of the user such that they are either only switchable for the user (on / off) or - if the need exists - have an extended range of functions.
  • a lighting system which has a control unit, at least one lamp operating device for operating one or more lamps and at least one local control unit, wherein the lamp operating device can be operated in different operating modes.
  • the control unit and the lamp operating device are designed such that the selection and adjustment of an operating mode for the lamp operating device from or via the central control unit is feasible, wherein the lamp operating device is configured depending on the set operating mode commands received from the local control unit in a implement appropriate control of the lamp / s.
  • the change in the usable functional scope of the lamp operating device is thus carried out according to the present invention in that the corresponding function or the desired operating mode is released on the lamp operating device by the central control unit.
  • the user of the lamp operating device can make full use of this within the unlocked functional scope, so that this - if desired - the full range of functions can be provided.
  • all other functions and modes of operation of the lamp operating device may be disabled so that the lighting system behaves in accordance with the wishes of the user. This creates the possibility that, for example, a landlord of a larger building can individually set how the different tenants can use their lights.
  • the solution according to the invention offers the possibility to individually adjust individual lights in their usable range of functions, so that in fact there is the possibility in the context of the lighting system different lights in different ways to make usable.
  • the lamp operating devices which are changeable according to the present invention in their usable range of functions, should preferably be able to receive according to the DALI standard control commands.
  • a software-moderate change in the lamp operating devices is provided that they can now receive an additional command in which different operating modes can be enabled or disabled by the controller.
  • the software-based extension also consists in the fact that depending on whether certain functions are enabled or not, interpreted the DALI commands in a certain way become. If, for example, the luminaire can only be switched, then a DALI dimming command would basically be interpreted as switching on and only the switch-off command according to the DALI standard would be interpreted as a switch-off command.
  • the lamp operating device basically operates the associated lamp as part of a basic function in which the lamp can at least be switched on and off.
  • the possibility of changing the functional scope of the lamp operating device or for setting the operating modes can then also be used to ensure a constant brightness of the lamp over a longer period of time.
  • luminaires drop in their light intensity over time, which is attributable to aging and wear of the lamp, but in particular also to contamination of the various luminaire components, for example the reflectors or covers based.
  • the remote-controlled change of the functional range of the lamp operating devices according to the present invention now makes it possible to make this correction or adjustment from a central office. It may, for example, be provided that the lamp operating device is set at the beginning of a period of use such that it operates the lamp in the on state only at a light output of about 80 or 90% of the available maximum value. Depending on the type of luminaire type and on the basis of empirical values, the output power of the lamp operating device is then periodically increased at weekly or monthly intervals to compensate for the light fall, so that, in principle, the same light output is achieved even when the luminaire is switched on for a relatively long period of time ,
  • the lifting can now be carried out by the central control unit which, by transmitting corresponding commands, configures the basic function such that the Switch-on command is assigned an appropriate output power.
  • This solution also brings with it an energy advantage with it, since ultimately an energy saving is achieved.
  • Fig. 1 shows a generally provided with the reference numeral 1 lighting system, which can be installed, for example, in a larger office building or the like.
  • the lighting system 1 is subdivided into several subsystems A and B, each of which constitutes an illumination system according to the DALI standard. Every system A and B accordingly has a local control unit 11 or 21, which are connected via respective lines 10 and 20 with light control units 12-1 to 12-4 and 22-1 to 22-4.
  • the lamp operating devices are each associated with corresponding lamps LA, which are operated by them.
  • the two subsystems A and B are further connected via additional bus lines 3 with a central control unit 2, which takes over the central management of the overall lighting system 1.
  • the bus lines 3 for connecting the subsystems A and B to the central control device 2 are not necessarily lines that are part of a DALI system. In general, it will rather be other lines of a general home automation system or the like.
  • the associated lamps LA can be switched on and off and operated at different brightness values, that is dimmed.
  • the corresponding control signals are for this purpose transmitted via the associated bus lines 10 and 20 of the respective subsystem, which can be entered by the user, for example. With the help of a button or the like.
  • Corresponding commands are, for example, also transmitted from the assigned local DALI control unit 11 or 21.
  • the user of the subsystem A now wishes to be able to dimming the lamps LA, then according to the present invention, he can acquire a license from the owner of the lighting system 1-for example, from the landlord of the building.
  • the corresponding operating mode is now enabled by the central control device 2. This is done by having the associated Lamp operating devices 12-1 to 12-4 corresponding commands over the data lines 2, 10 are transmitted, which are used internally by them to unlock the corresponding function.
  • the lamp operating devices 12-1 to 12-4 can for this purpose have corresponding memory units in which it is internally noted which functions and operating modes should be usable in which way.
  • the lamp operating device 12-1 to 12-4 then responds to commands transmitted externally via the bus line 10 of the DALI system.
  • the activation of the desired operating modes in the lamp operating devices 12-1 to 12-4 takes place by means of a corresponding software code or key, which is suitably converted by the lamp operating devices 12-1 to 12-4.
  • this software code can also be made dependent on the device type and the device number, so that misuse, for example, unauthorized use of the dimming functions of the lamp operating devices 12-1 to 12-4, is largely prevented.
  • the licenses are also managed by the central control unit 2, in which it is noted which luminaires can be used within the scope of an extended range of functions.
  • the local DALI control units can also monitor whether the various devices are being used within the scope of the acquired licenses.
  • the user of subsystem A can now use his lamp operating devices 12-1 to 12-4 corresponding to the extended range of functions. For example, it is now possible for him to dim the lights in the desired manner. It is essential here that no changes to the installations or a manual programming of the devices 12-1 to 12-4 must be made for this purpose. Instead, the release of the operating modes can be done in a simple manner by the central control device 2, which is why the cost is extremely low.
  • dimming licenses which, for example, is required if the user of the corresponding subsystem desires no more dimming function.
  • this function can be disabled again, so that the lamp operating devices 12-1 to 12-4 can be used only in the conventional manner, ie for switching on and off the lamps LA.
  • the licenses for using the dimming function can then be transferred, for example, to other lights, such as the lights of the subsystem B.
  • luminaires generally have the problem that they lose their light output over time. Reasons for this can be wear and tear of the lamp as well as contamination of certain lighting elements, eg. The reflectors or the like. Since the light output emitted by the luminaire should never fall below a desired desired luminous power, it is customary to design the luminaires in their manufacture in such a way that they deliver an excessive light output at the beginning of their lifetime. For example, it has hitherto been known to dimension the luminaires in comparison to the nominal luminous power in such a way that at the beginning they emit a light output increased by a factor of 1.2.
  • a light output E1 which is above the target power L 0 .
  • this power increasingly decreases due to aging phenomena, until the time t 1, the target light power L 0 is achieved. If the luminaire were to continue to be used, the emitted light output would fall below the setpoint, which is not permitted is. At least at the time t 1 , therefore, a maintenance of the lamp is required in which this example. Intensively cleaned and the lamp is replaced, so that a new cycle begins, in which initially an increased light output is delivered, in the manner described above decreases again over time.
  • the output power ie the light output which the luminaire emits at the beginning of a maintenance interval, could now be increased.
  • a higher output power E 2 at the beginning of a maintenance interval with the consequence that the time at which the lamp reaches the target light output L 0 due to aging phenomena, can be postponed.
  • a renewed maintenance until the time t 2 is required, which is well after the time t 1 .
  • this excessive light output is compensated by the fact that the lamp is activated in the switched-on state at the beginning of a maintenance interval at a reduced power compared to the maximum power.
  • the lamp power for the on state is thus set according to the invention with a reduced factor F of about 80%, whereby the excessive light output is compensated.
  • this factor F is set such that in the switched-on state at the beginning of the maintenance interval exactly the target light power L 0 is ultimately achieved.
  • the factor F ie the output power of the lamp operating device is successively raised, the height of the respective increase depends on the lamp and lamp type.
  • the particular advantage of using the in Fig. 1 illustrated illumination system is that the adaptation of the power factor F can now be done by the central control device 2 of the lighting system.
  • control device information is stored with regard to the respective lamp and luminaire type, so that the control unit 2 at regular intervals, for example. Weekly or monthly, the corresponding lamp operating devices can reprogram to a new switch-on.
  • control unit 2 contacting the lamp operating devices 12-1 to 12-4 or 22-1 to 22-4 at regular intervals, releasing the dimming function at short notice and, with the aid of a special command, setting a new brightness or brightness value Specifies the power value for the switch-on state in the context of the basic function.
  • the desired light output for the luminaire can thus be achieved permanently, with the tasks arising for a maintenance personnel being minimal.
  • the adaptation of the light emission factor depending on the wear state of the luminaire could also be made for the extended dimming function in such a way that the maximum dimming value is always adjusted, so that it is ultimately ensured that the same dimming range is always available over the entire period of use stands.
  • the present invention thus makes it possible to easily utilize various functions for the user of a lighting system according to his wishes.
  • the possibility of remote release of certain functions and reprogramming of the devices also offers the possibility to realize longer maintenance periods while saving energy and ultimately saving maintenance costs.
