Button configuration method of multifunctional lighting controller based on DALI (Digitally Addressable Lighting Interface) protocol

Abstract

The invention discloses a button configuration method of a multifunctional lighting controller based on a DALI (Digitally Addressable Lighting Interface) protocol. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out special function configuration onto each button by software, wherein the special functions include a button address, a target address, a control instruction and a button operation mode; and selecting the button address, the target address, the control instruction and the button operation mode on a software operation interface to complete button configuration. According to the method disclosed by the invention, not only can each button of the multifunctional controller be configured to take single lamp, a certain group of lamps or all lamps as the control object, but also sending operation of at most four different lighting control instructions can be supported; the lighting control instructions include a series of operations such as switching-on, switching-off, scene calling or light dimming of the control object, so that configuration and application of the controlled button are flexible and various, thereby breaking through configuration and application limitation of the lighting control button based on a digital accessible lighting interface in the prior art.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a lighting control system based on a digital addressable lighting interface, in particular to a key configuration method of a multifunctional lighting controller based on a DALI protocol. Background technique [0002] The buttons in the existing loop-type lighting control panel (such as the standard 86-type wall switch panel or dimming panel for household use) all use the lighting power supply circuit as the minimum control object. If there are multiple lamps connected to the lighting power supply circuit, then The control buttons can only realize unified on, off or dimming control of the lamps connected in parallel on these power supply circuits. In order to realize individual control of lamps on the power supply circuit, DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) digital addressable lighting interface technology came into being. DALI Digital Addressable Lighting Interface is a data transfer protocol that defines how elect...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the lighting control based on digital addressable lighting interface in the market is mainly divided into two categories: the first category has relatively fixed functions, such as group controller (GC: Group Controller) and scene controller (SC: Scene Controller). The buttons of the controller (GC: Group Controller) can only control the on, off or dimming of a certain group of lamps, while the buttons of the scene controller (SC: Scene Controller) can only call and control a certain scene for all lamps ; The second type of function is relatively flexible, such as the multi-function controller (MC: Multi-function Controller) produced by Tridonic in Austria, the function of the button can be configured to control a single lamp, a group of lamps or all lamps as the control object , and implement a series of command operations such as on, off, scene call or dimming on the control object, but each button can only support the operation of a maximum of two lighting control commands, so it also has certain limitations in use
