Definitions

  • the present invention relates to monitoring a lighting network, and more particularly a public lighting network.
  • a substation can be normally powered and energized, as can the various outgoing circuits on which the light sources are installed, while the latter may be defective. It is therefore necessary to provide both, on the one hand, night surveillance by visual control of the thousands of light sources equipping a city, and, on the other hand, daytime repair by specialized teams. This results in significant labor costs and wasted time.
  • the object of the present invention is to avoid these drawbacks by proposing a new device capable of signaling to a checkpoint not only the existence, but also the position or address of a defective optical system, as well as the time of failure.
  • the present invention thus relates to a device for monitoring all the optical systems of a public lighting network, this device being characterized essentially in that it comprises, on each optical system, a fiber light sensor optics connected to an individual electronic module, which is in electrical connection with an intermediate electronic module, the set of intermediate modules which control the entire network being connected to the microcomputer system of a control station.
  • Such a device makes it possible to carry out the monitoring and localization of each optical system, not by monitoring the supply current received by the optical system, but by monitoring the emission or non-emission of light which results therefrom. Thus, it is the result of the operation that is observed, which eliminates any risk of error or ambiguity in the information managed by the central control station.
  • the central control station includes means for programming dialogue sequences with the intermediate modules.
  • These programming means can also include a memory in which the order of the intermediate modules is kept with which the dialogue is successively set up. This memory can be loaded by the central station.
  • the central station compares this status information with household supply information and deduces anomalies or breakdowns.
  • sequences may be incomplete, some of the intermediate modules or some of the individual modules not being able to be interrogated during a sequence.
  • the central station includes a clock indicating the date and time. It associates, with each detected fault, in addition to its address which is transmitted to it by an individual module detecting this fault via an intermediate module, the date and time of said fault. This various information is stored, printed or displayed by the central station.
  • a central control station 1 whose microcomputer 2 is connected, by a telephone link 3, to an intermediate module 4.
  • the latter is housed in a transformer station or in a low-voltage cabinet 5 ensuring the supply of a branch 6 of a public lighting network.
  • This branch 6 group along a low voltage power supply line 7 (for example at 220/240 volts), various optical systems or light sources, such as 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. It can be street lamp spotlights or light sources of a type known per se.
  • the invention consists in equipping each light source 8 to 12 with a fiber optic sensor 13 which faces it to detect directly and on site whether or not the optical system emits light.
  • each optical system 8 to 12 individually has its individual module 14.
  • the transformer substation or low-voltage cabinet in each branch of the public lighting network contains the intermediate module 4 illustrated in FIG. 2.
  • This module 4 includes a communication interface, or modulation-demodulation card 22, placed between the module intermediate 4 and the various individual modules 14 and ensuring the sending of address, control words and information concerning the state, lit or not, of the corresponding hearth 8 to 12.
  • a microcontroller 23 constituted by a microprocessor programmed with time base or "timer” is permanently connected to a static random access memory 24, which collects the information given by the individual modules 14.
  • the microcontroller 23 is supplied by a generator voltage 25, and it is connected, as well as the modulation-demodulation card 22, to a logic circuit 26 which is used to route the information to the individual modules 14 or to the central station 1.
  • the signals are processed in a "modem” or modulation and demodulation system 27 which processes the information of the logic circuits (bits) in connection with the telephone network 3.
  • the information collected is processed on a microcomputer by means of specialized software which is connected or incorporated into the central station 1 and which may include means for programming dialogue sequences with the intermediate modules 4.
  • the modulation card 22 In the intermediate module 4, it is to the modulation card 22 that the dedicated line 28 ends up.
  • the latter is, as before, connected to the logic switching circuit 26 which sends "bits" to the "modem” 27, which transmits to or receives signals from the telephone network 3.
