| Title: |
Controller Panel and System for Light and Serially Networked Lighting System |
| Abstract: |
A controller for a lighting system is integrated with a light or other
device. The controller operates in a local mode to control the integrated
light only and in a remote mode to function as a serial network protocol
controller for a series of connected devices. In remote mode, an IR/RF
remote control is used to change settings for any device connected to the
controller. The controller generates a fast serial network protocol
instruction sequence, such as a DMX-512 protocol instruction sequence,
from the commands received relatively slowly from the IR/RF remote
control. The controller can include an hours of operation counter for the
integrated light and a global setting function for changing all connected
devices simultaneously to a single setting.
