Controllable lighting system with a second communication protocol and appliances for this purpose
View Patent ↗The invention relates to an electronic ballast and to a controller which drives this ballast, in which two communication protocols are provided for the digital drive.
1. An electronic ballast for a lamp, in which the operation of the lamp is controlled by a digital drive for the ballast by means of a communication protocol, wherein the ballast is designed to be driven digitally by means of at least two communication protocols, the at least two communication protocols comprising a first communication protocol and a second communication protocol, wherein the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol have identical start bits.
2. An electronic ballast for a lamp, in which the operation of the lamp is controlled by a digital drive for the ballast by means of a communication protocol, wherein the ballast is designed to be driven digitally by means of at least two communication protocols, the at least two communication protocols comprising a first communication protocol and a second communication protocol, wherein the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol have different word lengths.
3. An electronic ballast for a lamp, in which the operation of the lamp is controlled by a digital drive for the ballast by means of a communication protocol, wherein the ballast is designed to be driven digitally by means of at least two communication protocols, the at least two communication protocols comprising a first communication protocol and a second communication protocol, wherein the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol have different stop bits.
