  • These sub-units 10 are attached from the bottom to the support member 101 and secured there in a manner not shown, for example by means of corresponding locking elements or with the aid of a magnetic holder.
  • all subunits 10 are supplied with power and each have light sources, which can be controlled individually.
  • the light sources of the subunits 10 may be formed by LEDs, but the invention is not necessarily limited to such types of light sources.

This would have the consequence that for setting the brightness of all modules 10 a total of 14 commands would have to be transmitted and possibly additionally a further command for the indirect light output, which would be connected on the one hand with a lot of effort in terms of time and the amount of data to be transmitted and on the other hand would also have the consequence that, for example, when using the DALI standard for controlling the lamp 100, this would occupy at least 14 different DALI addresses.

  • control unit of the lamp 100 is responsible for the control of all subunits 10i to 10i 4 , wherein the externally predetermined control values for the node subunits 10i, 10 7 and 10i 4 are taken directly and suitable for all other subunits 10 Control values are calculated.
  • the control unit does not directly operate the light sources of the subunits 10 but in turn generates commands corresponding to these manipulated variables which are transmitted to the subunits and converted there in a corresponding manner.

  • Subunits must have three support points. Instead, the number of nodes could also be increased or decreased, depending on how the individual behavior of the units is to be influenced or how many DALI operating addresses are available for use. If, for example, only two interpolation points are used, then these could be formed, for example, by the two outermost subunits 10i and 1014, in which case a linear increase or decrease in brightness is then determined for all intermediate subunits. The use of only a single interpolation point would be conceivable in extreme cases, which is then preferably formed by a central subunit and the brightness of all other subunits is then set, for example, such that it drops towards the two end positions towards a predetermined value.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de commande d'une lampe (100) qui comporte plusieurs sous-ensembles (10) commandables. Pour cela, on applique à l'entrée d'un module de commande (20) de la lampe (100) des premières informations de commande relatives à l'émission de lumière d'une partie seulement des sous-ensembles (10) commandables. Sur la base de ces premières informations de commande, le module de commande (20) détermine des deuxièmes informations de commande relatives à l'émission de lumière de tous les sous-ensembles (10) et ces deuxièmes informations de commande sont transmises aux sous-ensembles (10) connectés côté sortie.
