Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for configuring a lighting bus system, in particular a lighting bus system designed as an installation bus in a building.
  • Bus systems for lighting control are known. For linking bus-compatible, lighting devices in buildings, the KNX standard based on the European installation bus (EIB) is often used. Another well known digital control protocol for lighting equipment is DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface). Furthermore, DMX (Digital Multiplex) is used for lighting control theaters and show stages.

  • the light scene can be static and thus constant.
  • changing light scenes can be generated.
  • a selection of a light scene is made by the user by means of a sensory bus device. Alternatively, a selection can also be made automatically, for example based on sensory data of brightness sensors connected to the illumination bus system or a time control.
  • the bus devices are addressed individually via the control unit.
  • a light scene has to be programmed or a light scene known per se with respect to its algorithm has to be converted to the respective installation.
  • This requires a selection of the actor bus devices involved in the last scene. These must be known to the user with regard to their type and their functionality.
  • the control commands for the individual actuator bus devices for the respective light scene are to be programmed and connected for the later activation of the light scene with an event on a sensory bus device.
  • the invention has for its object to propose a method for configuring a lighting bus system that allows automatic and / or semi-automatic configuration and also allows a non-specially trained user to make light scenes based on an installed array of sensory and actuatoric bus devices and to deposit in a control unit assigned in the lighting bus system.
  • this object is achieved by a method with which the following method steps carried out with a configuration control unit are carried out:
  • the physical sequence and the type and thus the functionality of the bus subscribers connected to the lighting bus system are determined in a first configuration step.

  • the information regarding the physical arrangement of the bus users and their type and thus their functionality is present in the configuration control unit.
  • a semi-automatic embodiment is understood to be an interactive configuration in which configuration suggestions are submitted to the user by means of a user interface and the latter can influence the design of a light scene via a menu-guided selection, for example.
  • the following method steps are carried out:
  • actuarial bus subscribers typically devices comprising a lighting means such as an LED, a fluorescent tube or groups thereof, etc., and sensory bus subscribers, such as controls or brightness sensors and the like.

  • the actual light scene can be designed in a next step. This can again be done automatically or semi-automatically.
  • At least one algorithm for generating light scenes is stored in the configuration control unit. With this algorithm, a light scene is generated depending on the number of physical arrangement and the type of belonging to the respective lighting group actuator bus participants, which group may also consist of the entirety of the actuator connected to the bus system participants.
  • a light scene can be constructed stepwise by means of a light scene generator in that the configuration control device presents the user with the choices for each actuator bus user available for the light scene.
  • an input by the user is to stop a successively changing drive of an actuator bus at a desired setting.
  • the user it is conceivable for the user to be able to call up possible, available settings of the respective actuatoric bus user step by step. These in turn will depend on the number and arrangement of the respective lamps provided in the selected actuator bus subscriber and their scope of control.
  • the user does not have to know the entire available scope of use of an actuatoric bus user at the beginning of the configuration. Instead, this functionality is represented by means of the configuration control unit or the aforementioned activation of the respective actuatoric bus user at the user interface or presented to the actuator bus user himself. Further, the configuration controller stores the necessary control commands for programming a selected setting.
