Method and Apparatus for Commissioning a Lighting System

摘要

An apparatus and method for commissioning a lighting system include monitoring a clock source signal to identify the presence of a feature in the clock source signal, wherein the clock source signal is a power line communication signal carried by an AC or DC signal used to provide power to the plurality of light fixtures, generating a trigger signal with a triggering module in response to identifying the presence of the feature in the clock source signal, providing the trigger signal to each of the plurality of light fixtures to command each of the plurality of light fixtures to stop outputting light, measuring ambient light with the light sensor assigned to each light fixture; and designating each light fixture to a lighting group based on the ambient light measured with the light sensor assigned to each fixture.

1. A method for commissioning a lighting system, the lighting system including a plurality of light fixtures, and a plurality of light sensors, where a light sensor from the plurality of light sensors is assigned to each light fixture, the method comprising:
monitoring a clock source signal to identify the presence of a feature in the clock source signal, wherein the clock source signal is a power line communication signal carried by an AC or DC signal used to provide power to the plurality of light fixtures; generating a trigger signal with a triggering module in response to identifying the presence of the feature in the clock source signal; providing the trigger signal to each of the plurality of light fixtures to command each of the plurality of light fixtures to stop outputting light; measuring ambient light with the light sensor assigned to each light fixture; and designating each light fixture to a lighting group based on the ambient light measured with the light sensor assigned to each fixture.
