    "Luminaire marking process, control system and luminaire"
    The present invention relates to a method for marking luminaires for a network of luminaires, in particular street luminaires, which can be controlled via a server, the luminaires being provided with the operating status of a controller for controlling the luminaire. concerned luminaire and this luminaire having a marking which is visually recognizable from the outside, which is formed in particular by an information carrier and through which the luminaire can be identified.
    Until now, the installation of luminaires, in particular street lighting, is a multi-step process in which the luminaire, for example a street lighting fixture, is first placed at a specific location or a luminaire. already in place is equipped with a new controller. Such a controller is used to control the luminaire concerned and is, for example, directly connected or reliable to a long-distance communication module or indirectly via one or more other controllers to a server on which runs a software for to control the lighting network. These are network remote management systems that include in some cases thousands of luminaires.
    Street luminaires are luminaires that are installed alongside roads, cycle paths, pedestrian paths or, for example, in pedestrian areas. They may be luminaires which, by means of a mat anchored in the ground, are placed at a distance from the latter or which are suspended in the middle, for example between house facades above taxiways. .
    A driver that often provides power for the newly designed light medium, particularly as an LED module, is typically controlled by the controller.
    Traditional luminaires, for example, have a mark at a height that can be read by the service or assembly personnel, resulting from the location and a mast number. It is typically a combination of alphanumeric characters according to a predefined scheme by the network operator.
    After installation of the luminaire or after integration of a new controller into an existing luminaire, the luminaire marking must be connected to the luminaire in order to establish in particular an unambiguous reference to the location of the luminaire. For this purpose, the assembly or maintenance personnel circulate the luminaires one after the other often with a device providing geolocation data and adapt or link the marking concerned to any information present in the controller and the establish accordingly.
    The problem underlying the present invention is to reduce to a minimum the costs associated with the installation of new luminaires or newly installed luminaires.
    The problem is solved by a method according to claim 1 as well as by the objects according to claims 11 and 14.
    According to the invention, this object is achieved because a connection of the marking with the controller or the luminaire specified by the controller takes place before the marking is applied to the luminaire. Bonding here means the unequivocal association of the luminaire or controller with the marking to be applied or applied to the luminaire. This is for example an association in the form of a data table which is located on the server side or which can be transmitted to the server for the operation of the network. It can also be an association in a corresponding database.
    This can be done, for example, on the server or on another server that can communicate with the server for the operation of the fixture network. An extra work step is spared for assembly and maintenance personnel. In particular, markings which are provided before mounting a controller in the case of an existing luminaire or which must replace an old marking can thus be defined.
    Advantageously, the link can already be made to the controller at the factory, "in the factory" meaning for example during a manufacture of the controller or its packaging or also during the preparation of a control of controllers already at the factory. less partly packed. The connection is already taking place in particular before the controller is packaged and transported to the installation location so that the connection can be automated in the controller's manufacturing and packaging path.
    It is preferably carried out according to controller-specific data. For this purpose, the controller may have unambiguous unique identifier identifiers (UIDs) that are related to the tagging and are placed behind or corresponding to the tagging. An information medium that presents or forms the corresponding marking is appended to the controller before it is installed in the luminaire and therefore remote from the installation location of the luminaire. This may be, for example, a sticker attached in the package which, when the controller is removed from the package and is installed, is attached to a mast or other part of the luminaire immediately before or after the controller installation. This link can be stored in the server so that during future inquiries by the mounting personnel near a luminaire, the personnel can directly retrieve information specific to the luminaire or the controller.
    The information carrier can thus present in particular a marking based on controller-specific data so that, when the specific data of the controller is transmitted to the server, the server obtains the information via the marking. The controller may also present a geolocation module that provides the location and time, for example on the basis of the Global Positioning System. When in addition the position is transmitted to the server, the latter (that is to say the remote management system) is able to make a connection of the position and the marking and thus the marking with the luminaire .
    Safe handling of a connection of the luminaire and the information carrier in the context of an error-free mounting is then given when the information medium is attached to the controller or its packaging and is in particular glued to the controller. one of these. When the controller is out at the installation location, the associated information carrier can be removed from a nonstick liner that is attached to the controller or package and can be attached directly to the fixture.
    A secure luminaire marking for the future is given via an information medium that has a QR code as a marking. Any service personnel must not carry very specialized equipment in which the luminaire marking is indicated. On the contrary, it can use mobile phones or other mobile terminals equipped with a camera that can recognize the QR code possibly assisted by a software application.
    Communication can be made in particular via such a mobile terminal with a server accessible in particular via the Internet, data concerning the marking detected by the terminal or entered therein being transmitted to the server and information specific to the luminaire being transmitted from the server to the terminal and being at least partly displayed therein. This is advantageous for the installation personnel when the luminaire status needs to be checked. Residents can also use this display to obtain information about the luminaire, for example its lighting and extinction times. An input possibility may further be present on the mobile terminal, for example made by a software application that can be made available by the network operator and through which fault information can be transmitted to the server. by connection with the marking. Not only the installation personnel but also another person who is near the luminaire and installed on the mobile terminal corresponding software can identify the luminaire and transmit, for example via an input field in the App, information about the fixture to the network operator.
    The problem mentioned at the beginning is also solved by a control system which is suitable for carrying out a method described above or below, according to which an information medium, in particular a wafer or a sticker, to be applied to the fixture is attached to the controller.
    This device has the corresponding advantages, described above and hereinafter, of the method according to the invention. .
    Advantageously, the controller and an information carrier attached thereto are provided with identical, visually perceptible markings. This gives, during the production process, an additional verification possibility to make the process as safe as possible. It may be at least partly, particularly with regard to marking, a QR code.
    The problem mentioned at the beginning is also solved with the corresponding advantages mentioned above and hereinafter by a luminaire with a control system according to the invention. Other advantages and details of the invention emerge from the description of the figures which follows. The drawings show schematically in FIG. 1 a control system according to the invention, FIG. 2 a luminaire according to the invention in a view from above, FIG. 3 the object according to FIG. 2 in a side view, FIG. 4 a view of a software application forming part of the invention on a mobile terminal.
    Individual technical features of the exemplary embodiments described hereinafter can also, in combination with embodiments described above as well as with the features of the independent claims and any other claims, be combined into objects according to the invention. . As far as useful, elements operating in a functionally equal manner are provided with identical reference numbers.
    According to the invention, a controller 2 in a package 1 is provided with a QR code 3. This QR code 3 is also present on an information carrier 4 attached to the controller 2 in the package 1 and designed as a sticker (Fig. 1)
    For the equipment of a plurality of luminaires, a plurality of such packages 1 is therefore provided. In addition, the association made in an automated manner of the controller 2 with a corresponding information carrier 4, preferably in the form of a sticker, must be brought to the attention of the or one of the servers that control the network. luminaires to equip.
    During a mounting of a luminaire according to the invention, the controller 2 is integrated in a head 5 of a luminaire designed as a street luminaire, in particular a street lighting luminaire. In fig. 2, the integrated controller 2 is shown in broken lines. Immediately before or after the installation of the controller 2, that is to say during the same work unit during which the luminaire is provided with the head 5 or the controller, the sticker 4 related thereto can be glued to a mast 6 of a luminaire 7 according to the invention, which is shown in FIG. 3 by an enlarged cut, an arrow 11 pointing towards the section being located on the mast 6.
    A passerby or the editing team also can scan the QR code 3 by means of a software application present on the mobile terminal 8, following which status information, for example when the luminaire s will turn on or off as well as the current state, are displayed on the terminal 8 in its display area 9. There is further an input field 10 whose actuation calls a mask in which a selection of error messages as well as a field for entering other information is called. The information entered here is transmitted related to the specific identification of the luminaire (here "XX") to a server which is at least co-responsible for the operation of the luminaire array and leads in it to a predefined action.
