    摘要: An apparatus for controlling distributed electrical loads including a microprocessor based central controller coupled via a twisted pair bidirectional data line to a plurality of microcomputer based transceiver decoders. Each transceiver decoder is coupled to a plurality of relays, each relay associated with a particular load to be controlled. Override switches and sensors, coupled to transceiver decoders provide override requests and information related to amibient conditions at the site of a load. A user defined data base includes sub-sets of relays called sectors, patterns of relay states, remote switches, a time dependent schedule and condition responses. A communication protocall and arbitration scheme provide for interactive communication between the central controller and each transceiver decoder with interfacing with the operation of any other transceiver decoder. Enhanced data storage capacity is achieved through dynamic allocation of memory space for pattern data. This divisional application is particularly directed to an improvement in the transceiver decoder permitting it to accumulate data from switch actuations and then transmit this accumulated data to the central controller whenever the transceiver decoder can gain access to the twisted pair data line.

    摘要: A control module for controlling at least one variable-power-consuming load responsive to data input from local and/or remote locations, utilizes a controller microcomputer having an output setting the gain of a variable gain amplifier. The variable gain amplifier operates on a substantially-constant output of an oscillator to provide, on a cycle-by-cycle or long-term basis, a periodic waveform of controlled amplitude to the at least one load. The amplitude of the waveform sets the energy consumption/output of the load. Another data bus facilitates connection of local control means to a control module interface providing local control information to the controller microcomputer, while a third data bus is dedicated to communication with a remote central controller, if used. The control module includes circuitry for allowing a unique local address to be set for a particular control module, to which unique address the control module responds when a plurality of such control modules are connected in parallel to a central controller. A fourth data bus connects local sensors, such a photocells, thermistors and the like, through analog-to-digital conversion circuitry to the controller microcomputer, to facilitate control of the local loads responsive to local ambient conditions. The maximum level of the load(s) connected to a control module may be programmably established such that this maximum level can not be exceeded by local and/or remote commands, until the maximum level is altered.

    摘要: An interface driver circuit, for use in a programmable energy load controller system, comprises a pair of optically-coupled input sections, respectively receiving data and a special signal of digital nature and a first voltage polarity. A buffer amplifier section is coupled to the data input circuit for driving a twisted-wire transmission line, coupled to the paralleled inputs of a plurality of receivers, with logic signals alternating essentially between ground potential and the first voltage at the first polarity; a second amplifier section is enabled by the special signal input section and impresses a voltage of the remaining polarity across the interface driver circuit output when commanded at the special signal input, regardless of the state of the data signal at the first input.

    摘要: A load control processor, for a programmable energy load controller system, includes a receiver-decoder section, a power supply section and a load switching section. The receiver-decoder section includes means for receiving an incoming data transmission encoded in a complementary-redundant error-detection code and for detecting the presence of errors in an initially transmitted address portion and a subsequently transmitted data portion of the data transmission. The power supply section includes means for recognizing the presence of a powersaver signal at the load control processor input, for removing power from the majority of the load control processor logic, when data reception and load change processing are not occurring, to reduce total power consumption of the load control processor.
