Method for open-loop and closed-loop control of a lighting busway
First Claim
1. A method for open-loop and closed-loop control of a lighting busway for an interior space, the lighting busway having a primary luminaire and a secondary luminaire, the method comprising:
- measuring a brightness at a location of the primary luminaire;
determining a primary ambient light percentage for the primary luminaire by comparing a brightness curve of the primary luminaire without ambient light and the combined brightness measured at the location of the primary luminaire with ambient light and light from the primary luminaire, in each case with respect to a primary manipulated variable of the primary luminaire;
determining a secondary ambient light percentage for the secondary luminaire based on the primary ambient light percentage; and
determining a secondary manipulated variable for the secondary luminaire based on the secondary ambient light percentage and a setpoint value for the secondary luminaire.

Abstract
A method for open-loop and closed-loop control of a lighting busway with a primary luminaire and at least one secondary luminaire for an interior space, involves measuring a brightness at the location of the primary luminaire, determining a primary ambient light percentage for the primary luminaire, determining a secondary ambient light percentage for at least one secondary luminaire based on the primary ambient light percentage, and determining a secondary manipulated variable for at least one secondary luminaire based on the secondary ambient light percentage and a setpoint value for this secondary luminaire.
