1. A lighting control system, comprising:
- an illumination device; and
a control card comprising;
a processor, anda computer-readable medium containing programming instructions that, when executed, will cause processor to;
receive an input signal from a controller electronic device,identify a type of the illumination device,use the identified type of the illumination device to identify an output signal protocol corresponding to the illumination device,convert data from the input signal to an output control signal according to the identified output signal protocol, andtransmit the output control signal to the illumination device.

Abstract
A lighting control system includes a control card for an illumination device. The control card receives an input signal from a controller electronic device, identifies a type of the illumination device, and uses the identified type to identify an output signal protocol corresponding to the illumination device. If the input signal uses a protocol that differs from that of the output signal protocol, the control card will convert the input signal to the output signal protocol. The controller device may be programmed to enable a user to display and/or control various parameters of various lighting devices.
