Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for controlling operating devices according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the present invention relates to a lighting system for controlling at least two light sources according to the preamble of claim 2.
- Control gear of modern design such as electronic ballasts for gas discharge lamps or operating devices for light-emitting diodes, usually have interfaces via which external control commands can be transmitted to the operating device.
- a desired luminous intensity (dimming level) of the luminous means can be set by appropriate control signals.
- the operating device has a digital interface via which digital control commands can be sent from a control unit to the operating unit and back.
- the communication can be bidirectional, ie the operating device can not only be a receiver of signal commands, but also act as a transmitter of signals. For example, the operating device can actively report a status report to the control unit when an error occurs.
- the DALI standard includes a comprehensive digital command set for
- Switch generated signal is present, for example, disclosed in DE 297 24 657.
- An application for the control of the operating device by means of push-button operation is given in presence-controlled lighting solutions, where the operating device is controlled by a motion detector.
- Such operating devices which are connected to one or more motion detectors are, for example, in staircases, long corridors, underground garages, pedestrian underpasses or in subway stations in use. If a movement is detected by a motion detector, for example due to the presence of a person, the operating device ensures that the corresponding room area is illuminated by the illuminant with a desired brightness (operating setpoint). In the absence of movement (absence), the bulb is dimmed to a resting value.
- Operating devices of the prior art have only one Diram scenario, the determination of the dimming scenario with the individual dimming parameters takes place during the manufacture of the operating device or during installation shortly before commissioning, for example by means of
- a dimming scenario determines how to switch between the dimming levels. Instead of switching abruptly between the dimming steps, the operating device can be set so that the changeover between the dimming steps takes place during a certain period of time (fade-on or fade-off time).
- the frequency with which motion detection occurs and the time between two consecutive motion detections can vary widely:
- the motion detector in an underground garage responds very frequently in 1 rush hour when the underground car park is heavily frequented (for example in the morning at the start of work and in the evening at the end of work), while in quieter times a movement signal is relatively rarely triggered, for example in the low hours of the night.
- Illuminants as short a time as possible and only if they are really necessary to be in operation. On the other hand, rapid successive switching on and off operations with a short switch-on and switch-off time are to be avoided, since this can have a life-shortening effect on the lighting means.
- High-pressure gas discharge lamp can be operated very effectively at high brightness, while LEDs have a high efficiency even at very low levels of brightness. This consideration also includes the required drive. For example, when dimming
- Fluorescent lamps require heating of the coils. Presentation of the invention

- the dimming scenarios and / or dimming levels are adjusted.
- the time duration for the changeover between the dimming stages is prolonged when control signals accumulate during a certain period of time. If control signals are seldom applied to the operating device within a certain period of time, then the time interval for the changeover between the dimming steps can be shortened.

- a commercially available motion detector 1 is connected between the other terminal D2 of the operating device 2 and the phase conductor L of the power supply 5, a commercially available motion detector 1 is connected.
- two different signals can now be present at the control input D2, namely one for the detection of a movement by the motion detector 1 and a signal different therefrom in the event that no movement is detected on the motion detector 1.
- the following definition is present: If the motion detector 1 detects a movement, it closes the connection between the phase conductor L and the connection D2 briefly so that the signal level of the phase conductor L is present at the control input D2.
- the operating device 2 can also have a further interface with the terminals D3 and D4. To this interface (D3, D4), for example, a
- Brightness sensor or other sensor or even a signal from another operating device or control unit can be received. It may also be possible that signals can be sent via this further interface (D3, D4). The respective use or usage of this additional interface can be programmable.
- a method for controlling at least two light-emitting means (4, 6) is thus made possible, wherein two different light-emitting means (4, 6) are operated by an operating device (2)
- Operating device (2) has at least one interface (Dl, D2), and wherein depending on the via the interface (Dl, D2) of the operating device (2) supplied signal, the lighting means (4, 6) are driven differently from each other.
- the illumination system (10) for controlling at least two light sources (4, 6) may have the following features: at least two different light sources (4, 6), an operating device (2) for operating the light sources (4, 6), wherein the operating device (2) at least one interface (Dl, D2), wherein depending on a via the interface (Dl, D2) supplied signal, the lighting means (4, 6) are driven differently from each other.
- the signal supplied via the interface (D1, D2) may be a signal from a motion detector (1) or a relay. Via the interface (Dl, D2) of the operating device (2), a communication by means of digital signals may be possible. Push-button signals can be received via the interface (Dl, D2) of the operating device (2).
- the further light source (6) can be controlled via a further interface (D3, D4) of the operating device (2) via which data can alternatively be transmitted. This further interface (D3, D4) can be provided for the connection of a sensor.
- the operating device (2) can control the connected lighting means (4, 6) as a function of the signal supplied via a further interface (D3, D4) (if this is used for the transmission of data, for example by a sensor).
- the activation of the lighting means (4, 6) may differ in the (temporal) sequence or direction of the brightness changes.

- the two light sources (4, 6) can be arranged inside a luminaire.
- a possible time profile of the signal applied to the operating device 2 is shown in the lower part of Figure 2a.
- This signal can be generated for example by a motion detector 1. If a movement is detected, the full mains supply voltage is present in this example, but the motion detector 1 detects no movement, so there is no voltage at the control input (D1, D2) of the operating device 2.
- the motion detector 1 can be designed so that after elimination of a movement, the voltage at the control input (Dl, D2) of the operating device 2 does not drop immediately, but still a certain period of time
- Delay time the mains supply voltage is maintained at the control input of the operating device 2. This time period (delay time) can be adjusted if necessary and is marked in the figure (shown in dark).
- FIG. 2a The upper part of Figure 2a shows the activation of the operating device 2 and serves to explain a dimming scenario.
- the operating device 2 stores at least two dimming stages, the idle value DS_OFF and the operating setpoint DS_ON.
- the quiescent value DS_OFF can be a lower dimming level compared to the operating signal DS_ON, for example 0% light power, but of course also be set to a value with more than 0% light power.
- the quiescent value DS_OFF is typically triggered when no voltage is applied to the input signal (D1, D2) of the operating device 2. If the mains supply voltage now lies at the interface (D1, D2) of the operating device 2 (ie a movement is detected), the operating device 2 controls a different operating setpoint DS_ON from the idle value DS_OFF, wherein the operating setpoint DS_ON in an advantageous embodiment is one compared to Resting value DS_OFF indicates increased light output of the connected illuminant (4, 6). But it is also possible that the operating setpoint DS_ON has a lower light output than the idle value DS_OFF.
- a change in the signal is present at time A and time B.
- a dimming scenario is characterized by at least one dimming parameter, for example by the time duration during which the changeover takes place between the dimming stages.
- this time period for switching between DS_OFF and DS_ON is referred to as fade-on time, and the time period for switching between DS_ON and DS_OFF is marked as fade-off time. Switching between DS_OFF and DS_ON is very fast in the example shown in Figure 2a (the fade-on time is very small), but the fade-on time can of course be longer.
- the dimming scenario according to FIG. 2 a can be used, for example, in such a way that, when the operating setpoint DS_ON is operating, the lighting means 4 is operated with high brightness.
- the lighting means 6 can additionally be switched on, while the lighting means 4 is either switched off directly or switched off slowly, for example, by a shutdown of the brightness.
- the light-emitting means 6 can also be permanently activated, for example, with the higher brightness of the light-emitting means 4 (in the case of the operating setpoint DS_ON) this light-emitting means 4 providing the perceived brightness.
- the light source 6 may also be a light source, which should not be switched often or changed in its brightness.
- the change of the brightness which is desired, for example, by detecting a movement, can be achieved by changing the control of the illuminant 4.
- an additive total brightness for the operating setpoint DS_ON can result from operating both light sources 4 and 6.
- Dimming levels DS_1, ..., DS_N have dimming values between the idle value DS_OFF and the operating setpoint DS_ON.
- Figure 2b An example of such a dimming scenario is shown in Figure 2b, where first a medium dimming level DS_1 is driven (during the time period t1). The operating device 2 lingers for a certain time t2 at the level DS_1, before then the resting value DS_OFF is reached.
- Figure 2b shows a dimming scenario with a medium dimming level DS_1 for switching between DS_ON and DS_OFF.
- DS_1 medium dimming level
- DS_N intermediate dimming levels
- a dimming scenario is characterized by the values of the at least one dimming parameter.
- Dimming parameters are all parameters that describe the change between DS_OFF and DS_ON, such as the individual time periods for the change over time between the dimming levels (for example, fade-on time, fade-off time, etc .) And the dimming and number of intermediate dimming DS_1, ..., DS_N.
- the dimming scenario according to FIG. 2b can be used, for example, such that for the change between the dimming stages one illuminant (for example illuminant 6) gradually changes its brightness, while the second light means (for example illuminant 4) is complete from a certain moment switched off or switched on.
- one illuminant for example illuminant 6
- the second light means for example illuminant 4
- the dimming scenario is adapted to the switching behavior of the motion detector 1.
- the signal applied to the control input (D1, D2) of the operating device 2 can be statistically evaluated. In a preferred embodiment, it is detected and / or evaluated how often and at which time intervals a control signal is present. If the control signal is supplied by a motion detector 1, this means that it is statistically evaluated how often and / or at which time intervals movements are detected.
- This information can now be used to dynamically adapt the values of the dimming parameters and / or the dimming levels DS_OFF and DS_ON to the respective situation.
- Various dimming scenarios can be stored in the operating device 2 and the evaluation of the movement messages can be used to select a specific dimming scenario.
- the time required to switch between DS_ON and DS_OFF can be extended. Additionally or alternatively, the resting value DS_OFF and / or the operating setpoint DS_ON can also be changed (increased).
- Dimmszenarien done that is, for example, that the operating device 2 no longer directly controls in one step from the operating setpoint DS_ON to the DS_OFF resting value, but additionally in the meantime on one or more intermediate dimming levels DS_1, ..., DS_N lingers.
- the middle dimming levels DS_1, ..., DS_N can be selected close to the operating setpoint DS_ON.
- the time period for switching from DS_ON to DS_OFF can be chosen to be approximately the same as the average time between two motion messages.
- the dimming scenario can be adjusted in such a way that the idle value DS_OFF is reached more quickly, that is to say that the time span for the transition between DS_ON and DS_OFF is shortened.
- the dimming scenario can also be adapted.
- the dimming scenario (the dimming parameters) can be adapted to the time of day (day period).
- various dimming scenarios can be stored in the operating device 2, and depending on the time of day, a different dimming scenario can be used and / or selected.
- a determination of the time of day can be made on the basis of the detection of the control signals. It can be provided that the operating device 2 identifies patterns or properties on the basis of the statistical evaluation of the motion messages, which repeat themselves in a daily rhythm and thus allow conclusions to be drawn about the time of day (daily period). This detection of the time of day can also be supplemented by measuring the brightness, for example with the aid of a light sensor.
- the two bulbs 4 and 6 are controlled differently.
- the light source 6 (which can be switched quickly) is preferably operated and controlled, while the light-emitting means 4 can be activated when the switching frequency is low.
- a light source can be activated or deactivated permanently or at least for a longer period. This can be the case, for example, for the provision of a basic brightness for the resting value DS_OFF or for switching off a luminous means during exclusive operation of the other luminous means, for example in an operating phase (day period) with low operating setpoint DS_ON (for example night operation) and / or very frequently detected movement ,
- the control of the operating devices 2 can also be via a relay of a central control or, for example, in
- the setting of the dimming values (idle value DS_OFF, operating setpoint DS_ON) and the parameter of the dimming scenario (DS_1, ..., DS_N, fade-on time, fade-off time, ...) can be set, for example, via an interface (D3 , D4).
- This programming can be done during operation, during installation, during production etc.
- the interface for programming can also be designed wirelessly.
- Illuminants (4, 6) take place in accordance with various dimming scenarios and the selection of a dimming scenario can be effected as a function of a control signal which is supplied to the interface (D1, D2) of the first operating device (2).
