Method and related system for multi-ballast lighting and control system

摘要

A system and related method for replacing a ballast in a lighting control system that comprises a first ballast and a bus supply interconnected by a communication bus. The system comprises a first unique identifier assigned to the first ballast; a first ballast configuration setting provided for the first ballast; electronic configuration information stored in the bus supply and representing the first ballast configuration setting and the first unique identifier; a second unique identifier assigned to a second ballast. The second ballast is installed in the lighting control system and replaces the first ballast. The bus supply is operable to configure the second ballast with the first ballast configuration setting by correlating the second unique identifier with the first unique identifier. The bus supply is operable to use the electronic first ballast configuration information to configure the second ballast.
