NETWORKED LIGHTING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SUCH LIGHTING APPARATUS TO IDENTIFY ITSELF AND COMMUNICATE ITS NETWORK ADDRESS

摘要

In various embodiments an apparatus configured to be connected to a lighting network and to control a first and a second lighting unit in response to at least one signal received via the lighting network is disclosed. In one example, the apparatus comprises a processor configured to receive an identification command, and in response thereto to execute an algorithm for communicating a network address associated with the apparatus, the algorithm comprising sequentially, for each bit of the network address: controlling the first lighting unit, to indicate a value of the bit by the lighting unit entering a state corresponding to the value of the bit, and causing the second lighting unit, to signal that the first lighting unit validly indicates the value of the bit and causing the second lighting unit to enter a state which indicates an end of the network address.

主权项

1. An apparatus configured to be connected to a Digital Addressable Lighting Interface network, the apparatus comprising:
a processor; a display device integral to the apparatus; and a network communication interface circuit configured to receive DALI commands via the DALI network and to provide the DALI commands to the processor, the processor configured to receive an identification DALI command via DALI network, and in response thereto to causes the display device to display a DALI short address assigned to the apparatus.
