This invention relates to the field of DC power supply and lighting control technology, specifically to a communication method and protocol for DC lighting. It utilizes a rapid output
voltage adjustment mechanism within the DC lighting control cabinet, switching between high and low voltages to transmit signals. The high level represents the standard
DC bus voltage, while the low level represents the standard
voltage reduced by 10V. Manchester encoding is used to
encode and transmit information between the high and low levels, ensuring the
bus voltage remains high during normal
system operation. This invention defines a complete communication frame structure, including a start bit,
function code, mode code, partition code, data code, and check code, and specifies the control
modes corresponding to different function codes. This communication scheme eliminates the need for additional communication lines, enabling
intelligent control of the
lighting system using existing DC power supply lines. It offers advantages such as low cost, high reliability, and strong compatibility, and can be widely applied to DC lighting systems in subway stations, shopping malls, office buildings, and other similar locations.
