Description
Lichtmanagementsysteme der im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 genannten Gattung sind bereits bekannt (Licht-Forum Nr. 39 der Fördergemeinschaft Gutes Licht, de 22/2000, Seiten 18 bis 20). Elektronische Vorschaltgeräte zum Betrieb von Leuchten oder auch anderen Beleuchtungs- oder Abschattungseinrichtungen gehören zur Energieklasse A1 bis A3 und erlauben daher wesentliche Energieersparnisse gegenüber zu den Energieklassen D und C gehörenden konventionellen Vorschaltgeräten KVG. Darüber hinaus erlaubt die Steuerung bzw. Regelung solcher Leuchten oder dergleichen Einrichtungen über EVG auch eine längere Lebensdauer der Lampen. Zur elektronischen Steuerung der EVGs wird eine digitale Schnittstelle verwendet, die als DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) bezeichnet und in Form eines Bus in die Systemtechnik eines Gebäudes eingebunden wird. Hierdurch werden die Nachteile der analogen Steuertechnik vermieden. Bedient wird ein solches Lichtmanagementsystem durch Taster, die direkt an ein Steuergeräte des DALI-System angeschlossen sind.Light management systems in the preamble of the claim 1 genus mentioned are already known (Licht-Forum No. 39 the Fördergemeinschaft Gutes Licht, de 22/2000, pages 18 to 20). Electronic ballasts for operating lights or other lighting or shading devices belong to energy class A1 to A3 and therefore allow significant energy savings compared to the energy classes D and C belonging conventional ballasts KVG. In addition, the control or regulation allows such Lights or similar devices via electronic ballast also one longer lamp life. For electronic control of the ECGs, a digital interface is used, which as DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) and integrated into the system technology of a building in the form of a bus becomes. This eliminates the disadvantages of analog Control technology avoided. Such a light management system is operated by pushbuttons directly to a control unit of the DALI system are connected.
Darüber hinaus ist es auch bekannt, bei Gebäudemanagementsystemen Installationsbus zu verwenden, die innerhalb der Europäischen Union normiert sind als sogenannte EIB (Europäische Installations-Bus).In addition, it is also known in building management systems Installation bus to be used within the European Union are standardized as so-called EIB (European installation bus).
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Lichtmanagementsystem der eingangs genannten Gattung auf einfache Weise zu verbessern, um vor allen Dingen die Bedienung zu erleichtern und Fehlbefehle zu vermeiden.The invention has for its object a light management system the genus mentioned in a simple manner to improve, above all to make operation easier and to avoid wrong commands.
Die Erfindung ist im Anspruch 1 gekennzeichnet und in Unteransprüchen sind besondere Ausbildungen derselben beansprucht. Darüber hinaus sind in den Patentansprüchen 5 bis 7 besonders bevorzugte Verfahren gemäß der Erfindung beansprucht. The invention is characterized in claim 1 and in subclaims special trainings are claimed. In addition, claims 5 to 7 are special preferred method claimed according to the invention.
Gemäß der Erfindung wird bei Verwendung des zentralen DALI-Bus und eines dezentralen Installationsbus, insbesondere EIB, ein Gateway zwischen beiden Bussen als Schnittstelle eingefügt. Das Gateway überträgt Kommandos, die über den Installationsbus dort eintreffen, nach Umsetzung in entsprechende Befehle auf den DALI-Bus, um von dort bestimmte EVGs oder EVG-Gruppen zu steuern und/oder zu regeln. Darüber hinaus speichert das Gateway Adressen, welche bestimmten EVGs oder EVG-Gruppen zugeordnet sind. Das Gateway ist eine Schnittstelle zwischen zwei verschiedenen Daten übertragenden Systemen, insbesondere Haus- oder Gebäudeleitsystemen.According to the invention, when using the central DALI bus and a decentralized installation bus, especially EIB, a gateway inserted between the two buses as an interface. The gateway transmits commands via the installation bus arrive there after implementation in appropriate Commands on the DALI bus to certain ECGs or from there To control and / or regulate electronic ballast groups. Furthermore the gateway saves addresses which specific ECGs or ECG groups are assigned. The gateway is an interface between two different data transmitters Systems, especially house or building management systems.
Alle angeschlossenen Aktoren, wie einzelne oder Gruppen von EVGs, erzeugen jeweils eine Zufallsadresse, die sie intern speichern. Durch Kommunikation des Gateways mit den EVGs ist dieses in der Lage, ein EVG durch Zufallsadressen-Vergleich zu separieren und diesem eine feste Adresse zuzuweisen, damit es später eindeutig identifizierbar ist. Danach wird dieses EVG vom weiteren Vergleichsprozess ausgeschlossen und wird der Vergleichsprozess mit den verbleibenden EVGs oder Gruppen derselben fortgefahren, bis alle identifiziert sind. Die Anzahl der hierdurch "gefundenen" EVGs wird mit der Anzahl der tatsächlich projektierten EVGs bzw. EVG-Gruppen verglichen. Stellt sich der seltene Fall ein, daß dieselbe Zufallsadresse von mehreren EVGs ausgewählt wurde, dann stimmen die beiden Anzahlen nicht überein, da bei dem Vergleich weniger EVG-Adressen gefunden wurden als tatsächlich projektiert worden waren. Der Vorgang des Erzeugens der Zufallsadressen wird daher so lange wiederholt, bis die Anzahl gleich ist. Kann jedoch auch nach mehrmaliger Wiederholung keine Übereinstimmung erzielt werden, so liegt mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit ein Fehler in der Hardware vor, indem beispielsweise ein EVG nicht zuverlässig an den DALI-Bus angeschlossen worden war. Der Inbetriebsetzer ist daher hierauf hinzuweisen. All connected actuators, such as individual or groups of ECGs each generate a random address, which they use internally to save. By communicating the gateway with the ECGs this able to compare an electronic ballast by random address to separate and assign a fixed address to it it can be clearly identified later. After that, this TOE is excluded from the further comparison process and will be the comparison process with the remaining ECGs or groups continue until all are identified. The number of the "found" ECGs with the number of actually configured ECGs or ECG groups. The rare case arises that the same random address was selected by several ECGs, then the two are correct Numbers do not match because fewer ECG addresses are used in the comparison were found as actually projected were. The process of generating the random addresses is therefore, repeat until the number is the same. can however, no match even after repeated repetition are achieved, there is a high probability an error in the hardware before, for example, a ECG has not been reliably connected to the DALI bus was. The commissioning engineer must therefore be informed of this.
Zum Projektieren des Lichtmanagementsystems empfiehlt es sich, das Gateway als reguläres EIB-Gerät in die Projektionsstruktur eines Datenverarbeitungsprogramms bzw. einer Software einzufügen, die insbesondere als ETS, d.h. als EIB-Tool-Software ausgebildet ist. Dies ist ein PC-Programm, mit dessen Hilfe man einzelne EIB-Teilnehmer, wie Taster, Aktoren und Sensoren, programmieren, d.h. den EIB in Betrieb nehmen kann. Mit diesem Tool parametriert man die EIB-Teilnehmer, deren Funktion bereits festliegt, und stellt die Verknüpfungen zwischen den Aktoren und Sensoren her. Durch den anschließenden Download erhalten die an den EIB-Bus angeschlossenen Geräte die gewünschte Funktionalität.It is recommended for configuring the light management system the gateway as a regular EIB device in the projection structure a data processing program or Insert software that is used in particular as ETS, i.e. as EIB tool software is trained. This is a PC program with whose help you get individual EIB participants, such as buttons, actuators and sensors, i.e. put the EIB into operation can. With this tool you parameterize the EIB participants, whose function has already been determined and provides the links between the actuators and sensors. By the subsequent download will be sent to those connected to the EIB bus Devices the desired functionality.
Hierzu wird zweckmäßigerweise auf eine DLL (Dynamic Link Libraray) zurückgegriffen; dies ist eine dynamische Funktionsbibliothek insbesondere für WINDOWs-Programme. Diese Software-Technik von WINDOWS stellt Programmroutinen in Form einer Bibliothek den unter WINDOWS laufenden Programmen zur Verfügung.For this purpose, a DLL (Dynamic Link Libraray) used; this is a dynamic function library especially for WINDOWs programs. This WINDOWS software technology puts program routines in the form a library of programs running under WINDOWS Available.
Mit einer derartigen Software wird die Inbetriebsetzung erleichtert, da die Anzahl projektierter Leuchten oder Leuchtengruppen bekannt ist, so dass später der Inbetriebsetzer eine ausgewählte Lampe der richtigen Gruppe zuordnen kann, sofern ihm hierzu nicht sogar spezielle Unterstützung durch Software beispielsweise mit Hilfe graphischer Darstellung zur Verfügung gestellt wird.Commissioning is made easier with such software, because the number of projected lights or lighting groups is known, so that later the commissioning engineer can assign a selected lamp to the correct group, unless there is even special support from him Software, for example, with the help of graphical representation Is made available.
Bei der Erfindung ist wesentlich, dass die Befehle, welche die DALI-seitige Inbetriebsetzungsprozedur auslösen, als Kommandos über den EIB in das Gateway gelangen, das im Unterschied zu DALI-Steuergeräten selbst keine manuelle Auslösemittel, wie Taster, aufweisen Mus. Die Inbetriebnahme der an den DALI-Bus angeschlossenen EVGs kann mit den DALI-Systemen üblicherweise zur Verfügung stehenden Mitteln geschehen. Das Gateway erzeugt die erforderlichen DALI-Befehle selbständig nach Anstoß durch ein EIB-Kommando. It is essential in the invention that the commands which trigger the DALI-side commissioning procedure as Get commands via the EIB into the gateway that is in the In contrast to DALI control units themselves, no manual ones Triggers, such as buttons, have mus. Commissioning the ECGs connected to the DALI bus can be used with the DALI systems usually available resources happen. The gateway generates the required DALI commands independently after initiation by an EIB command.
Die Zuordnung erfolgt bei der Erfindung nicht durch Betätigung von EIB-Tastern, sondern durch solche Kommandos, die insbesondere von einem PC über den EIB an das Gateway gelangen. Mit Hilfe eines Softwareprogramms ist es dem Benutzer des PC möglich, die richtige Zuordnung eventuell graphisch am Bildschirm herzustellen. Nachdem diese Zuordnungen am PC definiert wurden, werden die insbesondere als Datentelegramme ausgebildeten Kommandos über den EIB an das Gateway geleitet, worauf dieses die entsprechende Kommunikation auf den DALI-Bus startet und die EVGs entsprechend konfiguriert.The assignment is not made by actuation in the invention of EIB buttons, but through such commands that in particular from a PC to the gateway via the EIB. With the help of a software program it is the user of the PC possible, the correct assignment possibly graphically on Screen. After making these assignments on the PC have been defined, in particular as data telegrams trained commands via the EIB to the gateway, whereupon the corresponding communication on the DALI bus starts and the ECGs are configured accordingly.
Bei der Erfindung werden also die Tastereingänge von DALI-Steuergeräten ersetzt durch eine Anbindung an den EIB. Während bei bekannten DALI-Systemen eine Projektierung in digitaler Form (Abspeichern und automatische Wiederherstellung der Zuordnungen durch Anschluss eines PC) nicht möglich ist, kann bei der Erfindung die Projektierung in einfacher Weise auch digital erfolgen. Auch wird eine zumindest halbautomatische Wiederherstellung einer Zuordnungstabelle im Gateway ermöglicht, da die Inbetriebnahmedaten in einer Speichereinrichtung (PC) gespeichert werden können.In the invention, the push button inputs of DALI control devices replaced by a connection to the EIB. While with known DALI systems, project planning in digital form (saving and automatic recovery assignments by connecting a PC) is not possible is the projecting in the invention in simpler Way also done digitally. Also becomes an at least semi-automatic Restore a mapping table in the Gateway enables because the commissioning data in one Storage device (PC) can be saved.
Im übrigen ist es auch möglich, die entsprechenden Verknüpfungen zwischen Sensoren und den DALI-Aktoren an einer Datenverarbeitungsanlage, wie einem PC, zu projektieren, um anschließend in digitaler Form solche Zuordnungen an die Schnittstelle zu senden.Otherwise, it is also possible to use the corresponding links between sensors and the DALI actuators on a data processing system, like a PC, to then configure in digital form such assignments to the Interface.
Die Erfindung erlaubt im übrigen nicht nur die Steuerung und Regelung von Leuchten, sondern auch von anderen Einrichtungen, mit denen die Lichtverhältnisse in einem Raum gesteuert werden können. Hierzu gehören beispielsweise Lichtreflektoren und Abschattungsvorrichtungen, wie Jalousien und Rollos.The invention allows not only the control and Regulation of lights, but also of other facilities, with which the lighting conditions in a room are controlled can be. These include, for example, light reflectors and shading devices such as blinds and blinds.
Die Befehle auf dem DALI-Bus können als Gruppenadressen, Kurzadressen oder Lichtszenenummern ausgebildet sein. The commands on the DALI bus can be used as group addresses, Short addresses or light scene numbers can be formed.
