Embodiment Construction

[0017] In FIG. 1 , the ballast 1 according to the invention is reproduced schematically only by the essential components for operating lamps, since the invention is basically applicable to all kinds of electronic ballasts for operating lamps.

[0018] The components shown are: an input terminal 5 connected to the ballast 1, a rectifier 2 for rectifying the supply alternating current (a.c.) voltage supplied on terminal 5, and a direct current (d.c.) An inverter 3 that converts the voltage into a high-frequency alternating voltage and delivers it as an output voltage to the output terminal 6 of the ballast 1 , to which the lamp LA to be operated by the ballast 1 is connected. Further components normally found in electronic ballasts are not shown, such as various elements for harmonic filtering or smoothing circuits for converting the rectified supply AC voltage to a specific level of DC voltage, because they The function of is known and not of high importance to the invention. ...

Abstract

The invention relates to an electronic ballast (1) for operating a lamp (LA) or an operating device for illuminating elements comprising network connections (5) for connecting the ballast (1) or the operating device to a power supply, output connections (6) for connecting the lamp (LA) or a light source to the ballast (1) or to the operating device and a control unit (4) for controlling and / or adjusting an operating voltage supplied to the lamp (LA) or the light source by means of the output connections (6). According to said invention, external control information (Vprof) for programming or configuring operating performance of the ballast (1) or the operating device is transmitted to the control unit (4) by means of a programming input and stored in a memory (4a) assigned to said control unit (4). According to the invention, said programming input is formed by the network connections (5) and / or the output connections (6) of the ballast (1) or the operating device which are internally connected to the control unit (4).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of operating devices for lighting installations, wherein external control information for programming or configuring the status of electronic ballasts or operating devices can be transmitted to a control unit and stored in a associated memory. Background technique [0002] Electronic ballasts (EVGs) for operating lamps, more particularly gas discharge lamps, are well known. The latest ballasts not only accurately monitor the operating status of the controlled lamps to ensure trouble-free lamp operation, but also communicate with the central controller or other ballasts through data or communication links provided. For example, brightness commands for controlled lamps can be sent to the ballast via this connection. Furthermore, the transmitted data generally affects the operating state of the ballast, for example indicating the average power to be delivered to the gas discharge lamp, or determining the duration of wa...
