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, in which at a start of an actuation, an absolute actuation value that the luminaire is meant to adopt at the end of the actuation is not yet known,wherein operation of an operating element (3), is sensed and while the operating element (3) is being operated cyclically an actuation command (31-35;
-
71, 72) is issued and wherein during the operation of an operating element (3), 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 of the 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), in which an operating device (20) of the luminaire, continuously or in multiple stages, varies the target actuation value (P_1, P_2), and wherein the actuation command (31-35;
71, 72) is sent as digital data communication via a bus (5), which has further control devices connected thereto,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, in which at a start of an actuation, an absolute actuation value that the luminaire is meant to adopt at the end of the actuation is not yet known, the controller (10) 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 generate an actuation command (31-35;
71-73),wherein the control logic unit (11) is configured, 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 the 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) as digital data communication to a bus (5) 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), in which an operating device (20) of the luminaire, continuously or in multiple stages, varies the target actuation value (P_1, P_2), 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;

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 (11, 12)
