METHOD FOR THE RELATIVE ACTIVATION OF A LUMINAIRE, CONTROL UNIT AND LIGHTING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for the relative activation of a luminaire, wherein operation of an operating element (3), is sensed and while the operating element (3) is being operated the following steps are cyclically executed:
- determining a target actuation value (P_1, P_2) that corresponds to one of a plurality of interpolation points (61, 62) that are sequentially approached during the operation,generating an actuation command (31-35;
71, 72) on the basis of the target actuation value (P_1, P_2), andoutputting the actuation command (31-35;
71, 72) in order to approach an interpolation point (61, 62) that corresponds to the target actuation value (P_1, P_2) with a prescribed changeover time (68),wherein while the operating element (3) is continuing to be operated (30) a prescribed period of time (39;
68) is waited after the output of an actuation command (31;
71) before a further actuation command (32;
72) is output in order to approach a further interpolation point (62) that corresponds to a further target actuation value (P_2).

Abstract
For the relative activation of a luminaire, actuation of an actuating element, particularly of a pushbutton, is detected. During actuation of the actuating element, the following steps are performed cyclically: ascertainment of a target control point (P—1, P—2) that corresponds to one of a plurality of sampling points (61, 62) encountered sequentially during the actuation; generation of a control command (71, 72) on the basis of the target control point (P—1, P—2); and issuing of the control command (71, 72) in order to reach a sampling point (61, 62) corresponding to the target control point (P—1, P—2) at a predefined change-over time (68). During continued actuation of the actuating element, a predefined period of time (68) is allowed to pass after a control command (71) is issued before a further control command (72) is issued in order to reach another sampling point (62) that corresponds to a further target control point (P—2).

10. A controller (10) for the relative activation of a luminaire, comprising:
-
a signal input (14) for receiving an input signal (51) that indicates a state of an operating element (3); an interface (13) for outputting commands; and a control logic unit (11) that is coupled to the signal input (14) and to the interface (13) and is configured to take the input signal (51) as a basis for determining whether the operating element (3) has been operated, and in order, while the operating element (3) is being operated, to determine a target actuation value (P_1, P_2) that corresponds to one of a plurality of interpolation points (61, 62), to generate an actuation command (31-35;
71-73) on the basis of the target actuation value (P_1, P_2), andto output the actuation command (31-35;
71-73) via the interface (13) in order to approach an interpolation point (61, 62) that corresponds to the target actuation value (P_1, P_2) with a prescribed changeover time (68),wherein the control logic unit (11) is configured, while the operating element (3) is continuing to be operated (30), to wait a prescribed period of time (39;
68) after the output of the actuation command (31-35;
71, 72) before the output of a further actuation command (32-35;
72) to approach a further interpolation point (62) that corresponds to a further target actuation value (P_2). - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
