[0037] The following will further explain this technical solution in detail:

[0039] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the main panel power supply structure, which is mainly used to power the entire main panel and supply power to the slave panels through the slave panel power supply communication unit.

[0040] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the slave panel power supply communication unit, which is mainly used to obtain power from the slave panel and communicate with the master panel. Figure 3 As shown, the master panel supplies power to the slave panel via RT1 and D3 from the dual-control C port. The master and slave panel MCUs complete bidirectional communication through the dual-control C port by reading RX and controlling TX. It should be noted that RX needs to use the internal pull-down resistor of the MCU.

[0041] Figure 4 The waveform structure diagram of RX and TX is shown below. By changing the transmission frequency and duty cycle of TX, the on / off state, brightness state and indicator light state of the light can be transmitted.

[0042] The load switch unit is mainly used to control the on and off of the load lamp, and this part mainly includes a MOS tube or a thyristor;

[0043] The zero point circuit unit is mainly used by the MCU to detect the zero point of the AC power, thereby determining the frequency of the AC power and serving as a basis for determining whether to turn on or off the load, thereby achieving different brightness changes.
