Abstract
Method for allocating an operating address to a bus-enabled operating device for luminaires, including determining an absolute position or a relative position of the operating device by a position detection device, converting the position into an operating address, and storing the operating address for the operating device.
Claims22
A method for assigning an operating address to a bus-compatible operating device for illuminants,
- comprising:
- finding an absolute position or a relative position of the operating device by a position detection device,
- converting the position into an operating address, and
- storing the operating address for the operating device.
The method as claimed in one of the preceding claims, comprising finding the position by:
- determining the position to be a 2D position or a 3D position,
- if the position is a 2D position:
- performing a check to determine whether level information is available, and if level information is available then combining the level information with the 2D position and storing the combination in the storage medium.
A bus-compatible operating device for illuminants, comprising:
- means for detecting an absolute position or relative position of the operating device and/or an interface for communicating with an external position detection device to transmit the position, and
- means for converting the position into an operating address.
A position detection device, for determining a position of an operating device for an illuminant, comprising:
- a positioning unit for ascertaining position data, and
- a communication module for transmitting the position data to the operating device.
