Abstract
In a method for the allocation of short addresses in illumination systems, whose illumination components (DALI EB, Lp) are controlled via a DALI bus, the short address is determined and allocated automatically without the intervention of an operator with the aid of a localization device (Tag, 4).
Claims20
A method for the allocation of short addresses in illumination systems, whose illumination components (DALI EB, Lp) are controlled via a DALI bus, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing a localization device (Tag, 4), which is suitable for notifying a device for short-address allocation (3) of the location of an activated illumination component (DALI EB, Lp),
- storing an allocation list in the device for short-address allocation (3), which links each location with a short address,
- allocating random long addresses in the illumination components (DALI EB, Lp),
- activating an illumination component (DALI EB, Lp) via its long address by the device for short-address allocation (3),
- outputting a signal by the illumination component (DALI EB, Lp) activated via its long address,
- triggered by the signal, notifying by the localization device (Tag, 4) the device for short-address allocation (3) of the location of the activated illumination component (DALI EB, Lp), and
- depending on the notified location, allocating by the device for short-address allocation (3) a short address to the activated illumination component (DALI EB, Lp) using the allocation list.
