- a user specifies a power change for a lighting means 43 by means of the switch or pushbutton 492 and / or via the digital or analog bus 491.
- the powerline modulator 48 generates a preliminary message to the central unit 41, which thus detects it by reading the powerline message from the DC output circuit 44.
- the parameter adaptation takes place in the central unit 41.
- the central unit 41 confirms to the powerline modulator 48 that the adaptation has been carried out. Only then does the powerline modulator 48 transmit the actual control command in a step S3 via the DC bus 44 or a separate control line to the operating means 42 to be controlled.
