Definitions

  • the invention is based on a designed according to the preamble of the main claim dimmer arrangement with multiple control points.
  • Such dimmer arrangements with multiple keypads are designed to be able to turn on and off an assigned load or loads on the other hand via an operation of the associated actuator of each control point to be able to influence the degree of dimming of the associated loads as desired.
  • By rotating the controls the user is able to set the desired brightness or dimming level of the connected loads intuitively.
  • load or loads incandescent lamps, other bulbs, ballasts with bulbs and motorized shutters, blinds, fans can be changed in their degree of dimming.
  • Phase control and phase control, 1-10V interfaces and digital control means are used as driving methods.
  • incandescent lamps using a simple, end stops having rotary potentiometer in their brightness value or dimming adjusted continuously.
  • dimmers are designed as a pressure changeover switch, which have a knob as an actuator, which must also be operated groping for switching on and off.
  • Such dimmers are only capable of a limited extent of extension, so that it is not possible to influence the dimming level of the assigned loads of several control points on an equal basis, d.
  • H. Although the associated lighting devices (loads) can be switched on and off in cross-exchange circuits of each control point, but a dimming operation can only be performed by a control point, namely the Hauptbedienstelle.
  • the dimming speed is predetermined by the electronics, so that the user can not influence it.
  • an intuitive adjustment of the dimming level or the brightness value of the connected loads is not possible in the above types of actuation because a fine motor actuation is to perform dimming and at the same time the desired degree of dimming on the load to be adjusted must be observed.
  • the attention of the user is thus divided on the accurate operation of the control panel and the observation of the applied dimming of the lighting device, which is correspondingly cumbersome. For reasons of comfort, such operating modes are often undesirable.
  • the present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a dimmer assembly with multiple control points, which allows a comparatively low cost of the potentiometer to be used a comfortable and intuitive operation of all control panels on an equal footing.
  • z. B. a rotary actuator
  • the dimming direction from bright to dark or vice versa is clearly specified and the dimming speed variable, namely intuitively determined by the operating speed of the user.
  • at least one operating point is additionally groped actuated that z. B. on a short momentary actuation the switching on and off of the dimmer assembly is possible, and that by a long momentary actuation (greater than 10 seconds), the dimmer assembly in another operating condition, namely z. B. can be brought into a programming state.
  • such a dimmer arrangement consists essentially of a plurality of operating points 1, which are in each case connected via two connections 2 to a bus system 3, to which at least one load 4 to be influenced is connected.
  • control or dimming is advantageously carried out by a rotary actuator at the control points 1.
  • the actuators 5 of the control points 1 are designed for this reason as Tastwindknauf, so that an intuitive or self-explanatory operation is realized.
  • An optical feedback by an optionally designed as a lighting device load 4 is given directly and uniquely for the user during the actuation process. Since the actuation process is performed intuitively by the user, even coarse motor actuations at the operating points 1 do not lead to incorrect operation.
  • the user can determine the dimming speed of the connected load 4 in a simple manner by the operating speed he has specified.
  • the speed of the change in brightness can thus be predetermined in a simple manner by the choice of the operating speed.
  • the actuator 5 is designed as a Tastwindknauf, and the switching on and off of the dimmer assembly in a particularly simple, setbsterktDCde way is possible, because to turn on and off only a usual tactile operation on the actuator 5 is made.
  • each control point 1 is essentially a simple, end stops exhibiting, designed as Tast- / Drehpotentiometer potentiometer 6 and an associated, designed as Tastwindknauf actuator 5 on.
  • the potentiometer 6 or Tast- / Drehpotentiometer thus consists on the one hand of a variable by rotary actuation resistance and on the other hand influenced by Tastbetutz switch contacts.
  • each operating point 1 is also provided with a first intended for the detection of rotary actuations Actuator detection device 7 and provided for the detection of Tastbetuschisten second actuation detection device 8 equipped.
  • the actuation detection devices 7, 8 are provided to recognize the actuations on the actuator 5 and to deliver the positions tapped during the actuation process into the bus system 3 provided with the associated load 4.
  • the tapped on the potentiometer 6 positions are delivered only from the actuating point 1 in the bus system 3, at the moment an actuating operation takes place or delivered only from the control panel 1 in the bus system 3, at the last an actuating operation of one of the two actuation detection devices 7, the eighth was determined.
  • the delivery of the potentiometer 6 tapped positions takes place in the event of detection of the last occurred actuation process of the corresponding actuation point 1 cyclically repeated several times in the bus system 3.
  • Both the first actuation detection device 7, and the second actuation detection device 8 each has a cooperating with the potentiometer 6 , in a microcontroller 9 of the keypad 1 deposited program part.
  • the tapped at the potentiometers 6 positions are given by the control panels 1 as stored in the microcontroller 9 characteristics in the bus system 3, so that other bus subscribers, such. B. the load 4 can readily implement the tapped at the potentiometers 6 positions functionally.
  • each operating point 1 has an evaluation unit 10 which detects the magnitude of an actuating process. If the actuation process is below a specific threshold value stored in the microcontroller 9, this is evaluated by the evaluation unit 10 as an interference signal, so that the positions tapped on the potentiometer 6 of the relevant control point 1 are not output to the bus system 3. Only when the evaluation unit 10 detects an actuation process at one of the control points 1, which is above the threshold value stored in the microcontroller 9, the positions tapped on the potentiometer 6 of the relevant control point 1 are output to the bus system 3 for functional fulfillment.
  • each operating point 1 has an output unit 14, which outputs the positions of the potentiometer 6 stored as characteristic values as telegrams in the bus system 3.
  • the load 4 is designed as a lighting device is determined by the position on the corresponding control point 1, the lighting device with the set on the control point 1 or tapped dimming value turned on. If, subsequently, a rotary actuation takes place on the actuating member 5 designed as a rotary knob, the dimming value or brightness value is adjusted correspondingly to the lighting device in accordance with the operating speed set by the user.
  • the bus system 3 is designed as a so-called DALI bus. So that the operating points 1 can receive the information or telegrams delivered via the bus system 3, each operating point 1 has a monitoring level 11. Thus, it is possible that each control point 1 is also informed about the functional state of the load 4 assigned to it via the bus system 3. Moreover, it is thus possible, via a synchronization stage 12 of the various control points 1 with respect to the operating state on or off in a simple manner to establish a function synchronization. That is, when trained as Tastcardknauf actuator 5 has been placed in the operating position Off at one of the control points 1, which automatically applied to all other control points 1 also the function position Off. Conversely, this also means when trained as Tastcardknauf actuator 5 has been placed in one of the control points 1 in the operating position A, which automatically applied to all other control points 1 also the function position A.
  • each control point 1 The power required for the function of the electronic components of each control point 1 is ensured by a connected to the bus system 3 DC / DC power supply 13.
  • each control points 1 can be brought into a so-called programming mode.
  • device parameters such as the basic brightness, basic speed, etc.
  • device parameters can be reset when the programming mode has been called from the off state, ie when a longer tactile actuation (greater than 10 seconds) in the off state at a control point 1.
