Patent number: 8125315Abstract: A processing circuit for providing electronic photosensor information over a communication link. The processing circuit comprises a photosensor input circuit adapted to be directly coupled to a photosensor for receiving the electronic photosensor information from the photosensor. Further, a communication port is provided that allows for transmitting and receiving messages over the communication link. Moreover, a processor is provided that is coupled to the photosensor input circuit and the communication port. The processor determines whether the processor is operating in a default configuration, and broadcasts the electronic photosensor information on the communication link if the processor is operating in the default configuration.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2009Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignee: Lutron Electronics Co., Inc.Inventors: Dragan Veskovic, Robert Anselmo, Audwin W.

Patent number: 8111008Abstract: A ballast having a microprocessor embedded therein is controlled via four inputs. The ballast includes a high-voltage phase-controlled signal provided by a dimmer and an infrared (IR) receiver through which the ballast can receive data signals from an IR transmitter. The ballast can also receive commands from other ballasts or a master control on the serial digital communication link, such as a DALI protocol link. The fourth input is an analog signal, which is simply a DC signal that linearly ranges in value from a predetermined lower limit to a predetermined upper limit, corresponding to the 0% to 100% dimming range of the load. The output stage of the ballast includes one or more FETs, which are used to control the current flow to the lamp. Based on these inputs, the microprocessor makes a decision on the intensity levels of the load and directly drives the FETs in the output stage.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2009Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Assignee: Lutron Electronics Co., Inc.Inventors: Dragon Veskovic, Robert A. Anselmo, Mark A. Taipale, Matthew Skvoretz, Joel S. Spira

The ballast further includes a sensor input circuit for receiving at least one sensor input from a sensor device, a processor receiving an input from the sensor input circuit and providing control signals to control the operation of the ballast, and a communication port coupled to the processor and to the communication network for exchanging data. The ballast processor is operative to receive a serial data that has a portion defining whether the message is in a first or a second format, the first format comprising a DALI standard format and the second format comprising a format providing extended functionality. The ballast processor is capable of processing messages in either the first or second formats.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2008Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Assignee: Lutron Electronics Co., Inc.Inventors: Dragan Veskovic, Robert Anselmo, Audwin W.
