 <エリアコントローラと照明装置との通信について>
 各エリアネットワークには、「PAN(Personal Area Network) ID(Identifier)」と呼ばれる、エリアネットワークに固有の識別情報が定められる。そして、エリアネットワークを構成する、エリアコントローラ5及び照明装置2等の複数の構成要素のそれぞれには、ショートアドレスと呼ばれる、エリアネットワーク内で構成要素を特定するための識別情報が定められる。
<Communication between area controller and lighting device>
In each area network, identification information unique to the area network called “PAN (Personal Area Network) ID (Identifier)” is defined. Each of a plurality of constituent elements such as the area controller 5 and the lighting device 2 constituting the area network is defined with identification information called a short address for specifying the constituent elements in the area network.
 各エリアコントローラ5では、自身が属するエリアネットワークのPAN IDと、自身のショートアドレスと、自身が管理する各照明装置2のショートアドレスとが記憶部53に記憶される。また、照明装置2では、自身が属するエリアネットワークのPAN IDと、自身のショートアドレスと、自身を管理するエリアコントローラ5のショートアドレスとが記憶部22に記憶される。 In each area controller 5, the PAN ID of the area network to which it belongs, its own short address, and the short address of each lighting device 2 managed by itself are stored in the storage unit 53. In the lighting device 2, the storage unit 22 stores the PAN ID of the area network to which the lighting device 2 belongs, its own short address, and the short address of the area controller 5 that manages itself.
 エリアコントローラ5は、PAN ID及びショートアドレスを用いて、通信先の照明装置2を指定する。具体的には、エリアコントローラ5は、ある照明装置2に所定の情報を送信する際には、当該所定の情報と、記憶するPAN IDと、当該ある照明装置2のショートアドレスとを含む送信信号を制御部50で生成して通信部51から無線送信する。 The area controller 5 designates the destination lighting device 2 using the PAN ID and the short address. Specifically, when the area controller 5 transmits predetermined information to a certain lighting device 2, a transmission signal including the predetermined information, a PAN ID to be stored, and a short address of the certain lighting device 2. Is generated by the control unit 50 and wirelessly transmitted from the communication unit 51.
 照明装置2では、通信部21が受信するエリアコントローラ5からの信号に含まれるPAN ID及びショートアドレスと、自身が記憶するPAN ID及び自身のショートアドレスとを制御部20がそれぞれ比較する。制御部20は、エリアコントローラ5からのPAN IDと自身が記憶するPAN IDとが一致し、かつエリアコントローラ5からのショートアドレスと、自身が記憶するショートアドレスとが一致する場合には、エリアコントローラ5からの信号が自身宛ての信号であると判定する。そして、制御部20は、エリアコントローラ5からの信号に含まれる所定の情報に応じた処理を行う。それ以外の場合には、制御部20は、エリアコントローラ5からの信号が自身宛ての信号でないと判定して、当該信号に含まれる所定の情報を破棄する。 In the lighting device 2, the control unit 20 compares the PAN ID and the short address included in the signal from the area controller 5 received by the communication unit 21 with the PAN ID and the short address stored therein. When the PAN ID from the area controller 5 matches the PAN ID stored by itself, and the short address from the area controller 5 matches the short address stored by itself, the control unit 20 It is determined that the signal from 5 is a signal addressed to itself. And the control part 20 performs the process according to the predetermined information contained in the signal from the area controller 5. FIG. In other cases, the control unit 20 determines that the signal from the area controller 5 is not a signal addressed to itself, and discards predetermined information included in the signal.
 同様に、照明装置2は、PAN ID及びショートアドレスを用いて、通信先のエリアコントローラ5を指定する。具体的には、照明装置2は、自身を管理するエリアコントローラ5に対して所定の情報を送信する際には、当該所定の情報と、記憶するPAN IDと、通信先のエリアコントローラ5のショートアドレスとを含む送信信号を制御部20で生成して通信部21から無線送信する。 Similarly, the lighting device 2 designates the communication area controller 5 using the PAN ID and the short address. Specifically, when the lighting device 2 transmits predetermined information to the area controller 5 that manages the lighting device 2, the predetermined information, the PAN ID to be stored, and a short-circuit of the communication area controller 5 A transmission signal including an address is generated by the control unit 20 and wirelessly transmitted from the communication unit 21.
 エリアコントローラ5は、通信部51が受信する照明装置2からの信号に含まれるPAN ID及びショートアドレスと、自身が記憶するPAN ID及び自身のショートアドレスとを制御部50がそれぞれ比較する。制御部50は、照明装置2からのPAN IDと自身が記憶するPAN IDとが一致し、照明装置2からのショートアドレスと自身のショートアドレスとが一致する場合には、照明装置2からの信号が、自分宛ての信号であると判定する。そして、制御部50は、照明装置2からの信号に含まれる所定の情報に応じた処理を行う。それ以外の場合には、エリアコントローラ5は、照明装置2からの信号が自身宛ての信号でないと判定して、当該信号に含まれる所定の情報を破棄する。 In the area controller 5, the control unit 50 compares the PAN ID and the short address included in the signal from the lighting device 2 received by the communication unit 51 with the PAN ID and the short address stored therein. When the PAN ID from the lighting device 2 matches the PAN ID stored by the control unit 50 and the short address from the lighting device 2 matches the short address of the lighting device 2, the control unit 50 sends a signal from the lighting device 2. Is determined to be a signal addressed to itself. And the control part 50 performs the process according to the predetermined information contained in the signal from the illuminating device 2. FIG. In other cases, the area controller 5 determines that the signal from the lighting device 2 is not a signal addressed to itself, and discards predetermined information included in the signal.
 このように、エリアコントローラ5と照明装置2との間でPAN ID及びショートアドレスがやり取りされることによって、各エリアコントローラ5は、自身が属するエリアネットワークの照明装置2だけと通信が可能となる。 Thus, by exchanging the PAN ID and the short address between the area controller 5 and the lighting device 2, each area controller 5 can communicate only with the lighting device 2 of the area network to which the area controller 5 belongs.
 また本実施の形態では、エリアコントローラ5と照明装置2との間の無線チャネルとして、複数種類の無線チャネルが定められている。エリアコントローラ5は、複数種類の無線チャネルから、自身が属するエリアネットワークで使用する無線チャネルを決定し、決定した無線チャネルを、自身が属するエリアネットワークの各照明装置2に通知する。照明装置2は、エリアコントローラ5から通知された無線チャネルを用いて無線通信を行う。照明装置2の記憶部22には、当該照明装置2が使用する無線チャネルを示す無線チャネル情報が記憶される。 In this embodiment, a plurality of types of wireless channels are defined as wireless channels between the area controller 5 and the lighting device 2. The area controller 5 determines a wireless channel to be used in the area network to which the area controller 5 belongs from a plurality of types of wireless channels, and notifies the determined wireless channel to each lighting device 2 of the area network to which the area controller 5 belongs. The lighting device 2 performs wireless communication using the wireless channel notified from the area controller 5. The storage unit 22 of the lighting device 2 stores wireless channel information indicating a wireless channel used by the lighting device 2.
 <照明制御処理>
 図6は、照明システム1において照明制御処理が行われる際の当該照明システム1の動作を示すフローチャートである。図6に示されるように、ステップs1において、統合コントローラ6が、ビル管理コントローラから第1照明制御情報を受信すると、ステップs2が実行される。
<Lighting control processing>
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the illumination system 1 when the illumination control process is performed in the illumination system 1. As shown in FIG. 6, when the integrated controller 6 receives the first lighting control information from the building management controller in step s1, step s2 is executed.
 ビル管理コントローラは、ビルの各フロアでの人の入退出状況、各フロアの明るさ、各フロアでの消費電力などのビルに関する様々な情報を管理している。ビル管理コントローラは、これらの情報に基づいて、ビル全体での照明制御の内容、つまり、どのフロアのどこの照明装置2をどのように制御するかを決定する。例えば、ビル管理コントローラは、入退出管理システムからの情報等に基づいて、あるフロアに人が全く存在しなくなったと判定すると、そのフロアの照明装置2をすべて消灯することを決定する。またビル管理コントローラは、各フロアに設けられた照度センサーの出力信号等に基づいて、あるフロアに存在するある部屋が明るすぎると判定すると、その部屋の照明装置2の明るさを低減することを決定する。ビル管理コントローラは、照明制御の内容を決定すると、その内容を第1照明制御情報として統合コントローラ6に送信する。統合コントローラ6では、通信部62が第1照明制御情報を受信する。 The building management controller manages various information related to the building such as the entrance / exit status of people on each floor of the building, brightness of each floor, and power consumption on each floor. Based on these pieces of information, the building management controller determines the content of lighting control in the entire building, that is, how to control which lighting device 2 on which floor. For example, when the building management controller determines that there is no person on a certain floor based on information from the entrance / exit management system, the building management controller determines to turn off all the lighting devices 2 on that floor. If the building management controller determines that a room on a floor is too bright based on an output signal of an illuminance sensor provided on each floor, the building management controller reduces the brightness of the lighting device 2 in that room. decide. When the content of lighting control is determined, the building management controller transmits the content to the integrated controller 6 as first lighting control information. In the integrated controller 6, the communication unit 62 receives the first lighting control information.
 ステップs2では、統合コントローラ6の制御部60が、通信部62で受信した第1照明制御情報に基づいて、制御対象のエリアコントローラ5を決定する。例えば、第1照明制御情報に、2階のある部屋の照明装置2をすべて消灯することを示す情報が含まれている場合には、制御部60は、当該ある部屋の各照明装置2を特定し、当該各照明装置2を管理するエリアコントローラ5を制御対象として決定する。このとき、一つのエリアコントローラ5が制御対象とされることもあるし、複数のエリアコントローラ5が制御対象とされることもある。制御部60は、通信部61を使用して、制御対象のエリアコントローラ5に対して第2照明制御情報を送信する。第2照明制御情報には、それが送信される制御対象のエリアコントローラ5が行う照明制御の内容、つまり制御対象のエリアコントローラがどの照明装置2をどのように制御するのかが示されている。制御対象のエリアコントローラ5では、通信部52が第2照明制御情報を受信する。 In step s2, the control unit 60 of the integrated controller 6 determines the area controller 5 to be controlled based on the first illumination control information received by the communication unit 62. For example, when the first lighting control information includes information indicating that all the lighting devices 2 in a room on the second floor are turned off, the control unit 60 identifies each lighting device 2 in the certain room. Then, the area controller 5 that manages each lighting device 2 is determined as a control target. At this time, one area controller 5 may be a control target, or a plurality of area controllers 5 may be a control target. The control unit 60 uses the communication unit 61 to transmit the second illumination control information to the area controller 5 to be controlled. The second lighting control information indicates the contents of lighting control performed by the control-target area controller 5 to which it is transmitted, that is, which lighting device 2 is controlled by the control-target area controller. In the area controller 5 to be controlled, the communication unit 52 receives the second lighting control information.
 ステップs2が実行されると、ステップs3において、第2照明制御情報を受信したエリアコントローラ5では、制御部50が当該第2照明制御情報に基づいて、制御対象の照明装置2を決定する。このとき、一つの照明装置2が制御対象とされることもあるし、複数の照明装置2が制御対象とされることもある。そして、制御部50は、通信部51を使用して、制御対象の照明装置2に対して第3照明制御情報を送信する。第3照明制御情報には、それが送信される制御対象の照明装置2に対する照明制御の内容(点灯、消灯など)が示されている。制御対象の照明装置2では、通信部21が第3照明制御情報を受信する。 When step s2 is executed, in step s3, in the area controller 5 that has received the second lighting control information, the control unit 50 determines the lighting device 2 to be controlled based on the second lighting control information. At this time, one lighting device 2 may be a control target, or a plurality of lighting devices 2 may be a control target. And the control part 50 transmits 3rd illumination control information with respect to the illuminating device 2 of control object using the communication part 51. FIG. The third lighting control information indicates the content of lighting control (lighting, extinguishing, etc.) for the lighting device 2 to be controlled to which it is transmitted. In the lighting device 2 to be controlled, the communication unit 21 receives the third lighting control information.
 ステップs3が実行されると、ステップs4において、第3照明制御情報を受信した照明装置2では、制御部20が当該第3照明制御情報に基づいて照明器具24の明るさを制御する。例えば、第3照明制御情報が「消灯」を示す場合には、制御部20は照明器具24を消灯する。第3照明制御情報が「点灯」を示す場合には、制御部20は照明器具24を点灯する。第3照明制御情報が「明るさの10%低減」を示す場合には、制御部20は照明器具24の明るさを10%低減する。 When step s3 is executed, in step s4, in the lighting device 2 that has received the third lighting control information, the control unit 20 controls the brightness of the lighting fixture 24 based on the third lighting control information. For example, when the third lighting control information indicates “off”, the control unit 20 turns off the lighting fixture 24. When the third lighting control information indicates “lighting”, the control unit 20 lights the lighting fixture 24. When the third lighting control information indicates “10% reduction in brightness”, the control unit 20 reduces the brightness of the lighting fixture 24 by 10%.
 以上のように照明システム1が動作することによって、ビル管理コントローラが決定した照明制御内容に従って、ビルでの照明が制御される。 By operating the lighting system 1 as described above, the lighting in the building is controlled according to the lighting control content determined by the building management controller.
 <位置対応関係情報、管理対応関係情報、全体レイアウト情報>
 上述のように、統合コントローラ6が、制御対象のエリアコントローラ5を決定し、制御対象のエリアコントローラ5がどの照明装置2をどのように制御するのかを示す第2照明制御情報を生成するためには、統合コントローラ6は、ビルのどこに、どの照明装置2が配置されているのか把握するとともに、各エリアコントローラ5がどの照明装置2を管理するのかを把握する必要がある。
<Location correspondence information, management correspondence information, overall layout information>
As described above, the integrated controller 6 determines the area controller 5 to be controlled, and generates the second illumination control information indicating which lighting device 2 is controlled by the area controller 5 to be controlled. The integrated controller 6 needs to grasp which lighting device 2 is located where in the building and which lighting device 2 each area controller 5 manages.
 そこで、本実施の形態では、統合コントローラ6の記憶部64には、ビルの各位置と、その位置に存在する照明装置2との対応関係を示す位置対応関係情報と、各エリアコントローラ5と、それが管理する照明装置2との対応関係を示す管理対応関係情報とが記憶されている。 Therefore, in the present embodiment, the storage unit 64 of the integrated controller 6 stores position correspondence information indicating the correspondence between each position of the building and the lighting device 2 existing at the position, each area controller 5, Management correspondence information indicating a correspondence relationship with the lighting device 2 managed by the lighting device 2 is stored.
 ここで、照明システム1では、複数の照明装置2及び複数のエリアコントローラ5のそれぞれには、装置固有の識別情報である物理アドレスが定められている。各照明装置2及び各エリアコントローラ5は、自身の物理アドレスを記憶している。物理アドレスは、MAC(Media Access Control)アドレスであっても良いし、EUI-64のアドレスであっても良い。 Here, in the lighting system 1, a physical address that is identification information unique to each device is determined for each of the plurality of lighting devices 2 and the plurality of area controllers 5. Each lighting device 2 and each area controller 5 stores its own physical address. The physical address may be a MAC (Media Access Control) address or an EUI-64 address.
 また、統合コントローラ6の記憶部64には、照明システム1が有する全ての照明装置2のレイアウト(以後、「全体レイアウト」と呼ぶ)を示す全体レイアウト情報が記憶されている。全体レイアウト情報には、照明システム1が有する複数の照明装置2の位置をそれぞれ示す複数の照明位置情報が含まれている。この照明位置情報は、全体レイアウト上での照明装置2の位置だけを示しており、照明装置2と紐付けされていない。したがって、照明位置情報だけでは、それが示す位置が、複数の照明装置2のうちのどの照明装置2の位置であるかは特定できない。また全体レイアウト情報には、ビルの各フロアでの、照明装置2以外の構成(エリアコントローラ5、部屋、窓、通路、ドア等)のレイアウトを示す情報も含まれている。 Further, the storage unit 64 of the integrated controller 6 stores overall layout information indicating the layouts of all the lighting devices 2 included in the lighting system 1 (hereinafter referred to as “overall layout”). The overall layout information includes a plurality of pieces of illumination position information indicating the positions of the plurality of illumination devices 2 included in the illumination system 1. This illumination position information indicates only the position of the illumination device 2 on the overall layout, and is not associated with the illumination device 2. Therefore, it is not possible to specify which lighting device 2 of the plurality of lighting devices 2 is the position indicated by the lighting position information alone. The overall layout information also includes information indicating the layout of the configuration (area controller 5, room, window, passage, door, etc.) other than the lighting device 2 on each floor of the building.
 統合コントローラ6が記憶する位置対応関係情報では、各照明装置2について、当該照明装置2の物理アドレスと、全体レイアウト情報に含まれる、当該照明装置2の位置を示す照明位置情報とが互いに対応付けられている。具体的には、位置対応関係情報には、各照明装置2について、当該照明装置2の物理アドレスと、全体レイアウト情報に含まれる、当該照明装置2の位置を示す照明位置情報との対応付けを示す位置対応付け情報が含まれている。したがって、統合コントローラ6は、位置対応関係情報を参照することによって、ビルのどこに、どの照明装置2が配置されているのか把握することができる。 In the position correspondence information stored in the integrated controller 6, for each lighting device 2, the physical address of the lighting device 2 and the lighting position information indicating the position of the lighting device 2 included in the overall layout information are associated with each other. It has been. Specifically, in the position correspondence information, for each lighting device 2, the physical address of the lighting device 2 is associated with the lighting position information indicating the position of the lighting device 2 included in the overall layout information. The position association information shown is included. Therefore, the integrated controller 6 can grasp which lighting device 2 is located in the building by referring to the position correspondence information.
 また統合コントローラ6が記憶する管理対応関係情報では、各エリアコントローラ5について、当該エリアコントローラ5の物理アドレスと、当該エリアコントローラ5が管理する複数の照明装置2の物理アドレスとが互いに対応付けられている。したがって、統合コントローラ6は、管理対応関係情報を参照することによって、各エリアコントローラ5がどの照明装置2を管理するのかを把握することができる。 In the management correspondence information stored in the integrated controller 6, for each area controller 5, the physical address of the area controller 5 and the physical addresses of the plurality of lighting devices 2 managed by the area controller 5 are associated with each other. Yes. Therefore, the integrated controller 6 can grasp which lighting device 2 each area controller 5 manages by referring to the management correspondence information.
 統合コントローラ6は、ビル管理コントローラからの第1照明制御情報と位置対応関係情報とに基づいて、制御対象の照明装置2の物理アドレスを特定する。そして、統合コントローラ6は、管理対応関係情報において、制御対象の照明装置2の物理アドレスと対応付けられている物理アドレスを有するエリアコントローラ5を制御対象とする。 The integrated controller 6 specifies the physical address of the lighting device 2 to be controlled based on the first lighting control information and the position correspondence information from the building management controller. And the integrated controller 6 makes the area controller 5 which has a physical address matched with the physical address of the illuminating device 2 of a control object into a control object in management correspondence information.

 ビルに照明システム1が新たに導入される場合や、照明システム1において新しい照明装置2が設置される場合には、照明装置2に関する各種設定を行う必要がある。例えば、照明装置2の物理アドレスと、照明装置2の位置を示す照明位置情報とを対応付けたり、照明装置2にPAN IDを割り当てたり、照明装置2にショートアドレスを割り当てたり、使用する無線チャネルを照明装置2に割り当てたりする必要がある。
<Lighting device setting process>
When the lighting system 1 is newly introduced into the building or when a new lighting device 2 is installed in the lighting system 1, various settings relating to the lighting device 2 need to be performed. For example, the physical channel of the lighting device 2 is associated with the illumination position information indicating the position of the lighting device 2, the PAN ID is assigned to the lighting device 2, the short address is assigned to the lighting device 2, and the wireless channel to be used Need to be assigned to the lighting device 2.
 本実施の形態に係る設定器3は、照明装置2に関する各種設定のうち、例えば、照明装置2の物理アドレスと、照明装置2の位置を示す照明位置情報との対応付けと、照明装置2に対するPAN IDの割り当てとを行う。設定器3は、照明装置2と無線通信することによって、その照明装置2に関する設定を行う。ユーザは、手に持った設定器3を操作することによって、これらの処理を設定器3に実行させることができる。 The setting device 3 according to the present embodiment includes, for example, the association between the physical address of the lighting device 2 and the lighting position information indicating the position of the lighting device 2 among the various settings related to the lighting device 2 and the lighting device 2. Assign a PAN ID. The setting device 3 performs settings related to the lighting device 2 by wireless communication with the lighting device 2. The user can cause the setting device 3 to execute these processes by operating the setting device 3 held in the hand.
 図7は、ユーザ100が、設定器3を操作して、あるフロア110に存在する部屋120に配置された照明装置2に関する設定を設定器3に実行させる様子の一例を示す図である。部屋120の天井には、例えば、16個の照明装置2が行列状に配置されている。部屋120の壁に設けられた分電盤内には、部屋120内の16個の照明装置2を管理するエリアコントローラ5が設けられている。また部屋120には複数の窓121が設けられている。そして、部屋120には、通路140につながるドア130が設けられている。 FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a state in which the user 100 operates the setting device 3 to cause the setting device 3 to perform setting related to the lighting device 2 arranged in the room 120 existing on a certain floor 110. For example, 16 lighting devices 2 are arranged in a matrix on the ceiling of the room 120. An area controller 5 that manages the 16 lighting devices 2 in the room 120 is provided in a distribution board provided on the wall of the room 120. The room 120 is provided with a plurality of windows 121. In the room 120, a door 130 connected to the passage 140 is provided.
 ユーザ100は、部屋120に配置された照明装置2に関する設定を設定器3に実行させる際には、設定器3が設定対象の照明装置2と無線通信できるように、設定器3を所持して部屋120内に移動する。そして、ユーザ100は、設定器3を操作して、設定対象の照明装置2と設定器3とを無線通信させて、設定対象の照明装置2に関する設定を設定器3に実行させる。またユーザ100は、設定器3と設定対象の照明装置2との間の距離が大きいために両者が無線通信できない場合には、部屋120内を移動して設定対象の照明装置2に近づき、設定器3が設定対象の照明装置2と無線通信できるようにする。 When the user 100 causes the setting device 3 to execute the setting related to the lighting device 2 arranged in the room 120, the user 100 has the setting device 3 so that the setting device 3 can wirelessly communicate with the lighting device 2 to be set. Move into room 120. Then, the user 100 operates the setting device 3 to cause the setting target lighting device 2 and the setting device 3 to perform wireless communication, and causes the setting device 3 to perform setting related to the setting target lighting device 2. When the user 100 cannot communicate wirelessly because the distance between the setting device 3 and the setting target lighting device 2 is large, the user 100 moves in the room 120 and approaches the setting target lighting device 2 to set The device 3 can perform wireless communication with the lighting device 2 to be set.
 以下では、図7に示される部屋120に配置された各照明装置2に関する設定が設定器3で実行される場合を例に挙げて、設定器3が照明装置2に関する設定を行う際の照明システム1の動作について説明する。 Below, the case where the setting device 3 performs the setting related to each lighting device 2 arranged in the room 120 shown in FIG. 7 will be described as an example, and the lighting system used when the setting device 3 performs the setting related to the lighting device 2. The operation of No. 1 will be described.
 ユーザは、部屋120内に移動すると、設定器3のタッチパネルディスプレイ35に対して所定の操作を行って、図8に示されるような設定画面200を設定器3に表示させる。ユーザは、タッチパネルディスプレイ35に表示される設定画面200を利用して、設定器3に対して照明装置2に関する設定を実行させる。設定画面200には、レイアウト画面300と、確認画面400と、設定情報入力画面500とが含まれている。 When the user moves into the room 120, the user performs a predetermined operation on the touch panel display 35 of the setting device 3 to display the setting screen 200 as shown in FIG. The user uses the setting screen 200 displayed on the touch panel display 35 to cause the setting device 3 to execute settings related to the lighting device 2. The setting screen 200 includes a layout screen 300, a confirmation screen 400, and a setting information input screen 500.
 レイアウト画面300には、全体レイアウトの一部を示すレイアウト図310が示される。ユーザは、設定器3のタッチパネルディスプレイ35を操作することによって、全体レイアウトのうちのどの部分のレイアウト図310がレイアウト画面300に示されるかを設定器3に指示することができる。つまり、ユーザは、タッチパネルディスプレイ35を操作することによって、レイアウト画面300に示されるレイアウト図310を指定することができる。本例では、部屋120内の照明装置2に関する設定が行われることから、ユーザによるタッチパネルディスプレイ35の操作によって、図8に示されるレイアウト画面300には、図7に示される部屋120に配置された複数の照明装置2のレイアウトを示すレイアウト図310が示されている。 The layout screen 300 shows a layout diagram 310 showing a part of the overall layout. By operating the touch panel display 35 of the setting device 3, the user can instruct the setting device 3 which portion of the overall layout 310 is displayed on the layout screen 300. That is, the user can specify the layout diagram 310 shown on the layout screen 300 by operating the touch panel display 35. In this example, since the setting related to the lighting device 2 in the room 120 is performed, the layout screen 300 shown in FIG. 8 is arranged in the room 120 shown in FIG. 7 by the operation of the touch panel display 35 by the user. A layout diagram 310 showing a layout of the plurality of lighting devices 2 is shown.
 設定器3の記憶部32には、統合コントローラ6が記憶する全体レイアウト情報と同じ情報が記憶されている。設定器3では、制御部30が記憶部32内の全体レイアウト情報に基づいてレイアウト図310を生成し、それを表示部33に表示させる。 The same information as the entire layout information stored in the integrated controller 6 is stored in the storage unit 32 of the setting device 3. In the setting device 3, the control unit 30 generates a layout diagram 310 based on the entire layout information in the storage unit 32 and displays it on the display unit 33.
 部屋120内の複数の照明装置2のレイアウトを示すレイアウト図310には、当該複数の照明装置2をそれぞれ示す複数の照明装置図320が含まれている。レイアウト図310では、複数の照明装置図320のそれぞれは、当該照明装置図320が示す照明装置2の照明位置情報に応じて配置されている。つまり、レイアウト図310では、複数の照明装置図320のそれぞれは、当該照明装置図320が示す照明装置2のビルでの位置に応じて配置されている。またレイアウト図310には、部屋120を示す図360と、窓121を示す図330と、ドア130を示す図340と、通路140を示す図350と、エリアコントローラ5を示す図370とが含まれている。ユーザは、設定器3に表示されるレイアウト図310を見れば、設定対象の照明装置2が存在する空間のレイアウトを確認することができる。つまり、部屋120内のユーザは、レイアウト図310を見れば、自身が存在する空間のレイアウトを確認することができる。 The layout diagram 310 showing the layout of the plurality of lighting devices 2 in the room 120 includes a plurality of lighting device diagrams 320 each showing the plurality of lighting devices 2. In the layout diagram 310, each of the plurality of illumination device diagrams 320 is arranged according to the illumination position information of the illumination device 2 indicated by the illumination device diagram 320. That is, in the layout diagram 310, each of the plurality of lighting device diagrams 320 is arranged according to the position of the lighting device 2 shown in the lighting device diagram 320 in the building. The layout diagram 310 also includes a diagram 360 showing the room 120, a diagram 330 showing the window 121, a diagram 340 showing the door 130, a diagram 350 showing the passage 140, and a diagram 370 showing the area controller 5. ing. The user can confirm the layout of the space where the setting target illumination device 2 exists by looking at the layout diagram 310 displayed on the setting device 3. That is, the user in the room 120 can confirm the layout of the space in which the user exists by looking at the layout diagram 310.
 確認画面400は、照明装置2に関する情報をユーザが確認するための画面である。確認画面400には、一覧表画面410が含まれている。一覧表画面410には、設定器3が複数の照明装置2と通信することによって取得した、当該複数の照明装置2に関する情報の一覧を示す一覧表411が示される。一覧表411には、例えば、照明装置2の物理アドレス、照明装置2が記憶するPAN ID、照明装置2に関する信号強度が示される。 The confirmation screen 400 is a screen for the user to confirm information regarding the lighting device 2. The confirmation screen 400 includes a list screen 410. The list screen 410 shows a list 411 that shows a list of information about the plurality of lighting devices 2 acquired by the setting device 3 communicating with the plurality of lighting devices 2. List table 411 shows, for example, the physical address of lighting device 2, the PAN ID stored in lighting device 2, and the signal intensity related to lighting device 2.
 ここで、信号強度とは、照明装置2と設定器3との間の信号強度を意味している。信号強度は、照明装置2が設定器3から受信した受信信号の信号強度であっても良いし、設定器3が照明装置2から受信した受信信号の信号強度であっても良い。ここでは、信号強度は、例えば、照明装置2が設定器3から受信した受信信号の信号強度であるとする。 Here, the signal strength means the signal strength between the lighting device 2 and the setting device 3. The signal strength may be the signal strength of the received signal received by the lighting device 2 from the setting device 3, or may be the signal strength of the received signal received by the setting device 3 from the lighting device 2. Here, the signal strength is assumed to be, for example, the signal strength of the received signal received from the setting device 3 by the lighting device 2.
 一覧表411の各欄では、照明装置2の物理アドレスと、当該照明装置2が記憶するPAN IDと、当該照明装置2に関する信号強度とが互いに対応付けられて示される。図8の例では、設定器3は未だ物理アドレス等を取得していないことから、一覧表411の各欄は空欄となっている。 In each column of the list 411, the physical address of the lighting device 2, the PAN ID stored in the lighting device 2, and the signal intensity related to the lighting device 2 are shown in association with each other. In the example of FIG. 8, since the setting device 3 has not yet acquired a physical address or the like, each column of the list 411 is blank.
 また一覧表画面410には、一覧表411のすべてを同時に一覧表画面410に表示できないときに、一覧表画面410の表示をスクロールするためのスクロールバー412が含まれている。一覧表411のすべてを同時に一覧表画面410に表示できないときに、スクロールバー412には、操作部分であるノブ(「スライダ」とも呼ばれる)が示される。このノブがユーザ操作によって上下に移動することによって、一覧表画面410の表示が上下にスクロールする。なお、図8の例では、一覧表411の各欄が空欄となっているため、スクロールバー412にはノブが示されていない。 Also, the list screen 410 includes a scroll bar 412 for scrolling the display of the list screen 410 when not all of the list 411 can be displayed on the list screen 410 at the same time. When not all of the list 411 can be displayed on the list screen 410 at the same time, the scroll bar 412 shows a knob (also referred to as a “slider”) as an operation part. When the knob is moved up and down by a user operation, the display of the list screen 410 is scrolled up and down. In the example of FIG. 8, each column of the list 411 is blank, and the scroll bar 412 does not show a knob.
 また確認画面400には、一覧表411に示される各種情報を設定器3に送信することを照明装置2に要求するための出力要求ボタン420が示されている。ユーザによって出力要求ボタン420を選択する操作が行われると、設定器3では、制御部30が出力要求信号を生成して、通信部31が当該出力要求信号を送信する。出力要求ボタン420を選択する操作としては、例えば、出力要求ボタン420に対するタップ操作が採用される。 The confirmation screen 400 also includes an output request button 420 for requesting the lighting device 2 to transmit various information shown in the list 411 to the setting device 3. When an operation for selecting the output request button 420 is performed by the user, in the setting device 3, the control unit 30 generates an output request signal, and the communication unit 31 transmits the output request signal. As an operation for selecting the output request button 420, for example, a tap operation on the output request button 420 is employed.
 照明装置2では、設定器3からの出力要求信号を通信部21が受信すると、制御部20は、記憶部22から物理アドレス及びPAN IDを読み出す。さらに制御部20は、信号強度として、通信部21で受信された出力要求信号のRSSI(Received Signal Strength Indication)を求める。そして、制御部20は、物理アドレス、PAN ID及び信号強度を通信部21に送信させる。 In the lighting device 2, when the communication unit 21 receives the output request signal from the setting device 3, the control unit 20 reads the physical address and the PAN ID from the storage unit 22. Furthermore, the control unit 20 obtains RSSI (Received Signal Signal Strength Indication) of the output request signal received by the communication unit 21 as the signal strength. Then, the control unit 20 causes the communication unit 21 to transmit the physical address, the PAN ID, and the signal strength.
 設定器3は、自身が送信した出力要求信号を受信した各照明装置2から、物理アドレス、PAN ID及び信号強度を受信する。設定器3では、制御部30は、通信部31が受信した物理アドレス、PAN ID及び信号強度を記憶部32に記憶するとともに、それらの情報を一覧表画面410の一覧表411に示す。 The setter 3 receives the physical address, PAN ID, and signal strength from each lighting device 2 that has received the output request signal transmitted by itself. In the setting device 3, the control unit 30 stores the physical address, PAN ID, and signal strength received by the communication unit 31 in the storage unit 32, and shows the information in a list 411 on the list table screen 410.
 設定情報入力画面500は、照明装置2に対する設定情報(本実施の形態では、PAN ID)を設定器3に入力するための画面である。設定情報入力画面500には、PAN ID入力画面510が含まれている。ユーザは、PAN ID入力画面510を利用して、照明装置2に設定するPAN IDを設定器3に入力することができる。PAN ID入力画面510には、「PAN ID」という文字列が示される文字列画面511と、ユーザが入力したPAN IDが示される入力ID表示画面512とが含まれる。ユーザが入力ID表示画面512を選択する操作を行うと、例えば、設定情報入力画面500の上に、複数種類のPAN IDの一覧が表示される。ユーザは、その一覧から入力すべきPAN IDを選択する操作を行う。ユーザによって選択されたPAN IDは、入力ID表示画面512に示される。入力ID表示画面512を選択する操作としては、例えば、入力ID表示画面512に対するタップ操作が採用される。また、PAN IDの一覧から入力すべきPAN IDを選択する操作としては、当該PAN IDが表示されている部分に対するタップ操作が採用される。 The setting information input screen 500 is a screen for inputting setting information (PAN ID in the present embodiment) for the lighting device 2 to the setting device 3. The setting information input screen 500 includes a PAN ID input screen 510. Using the PAN ID input screen 510, the user can input the PAN ID to be set for the lighting device 2 to the setting device 3. The PAN ID input screen 510 includes a character string screen 511 showing a character string “PAN ID” and an input ID display screen 512 showing a PAN ID input by the user. When the user performs an operation of selecting the input ID display screen 512, for example, a list of a plurality of types of PAN IDs is displayed on the setting information input screen 500. The user performs an operation of selecting a PAN ID to be input from the list. The PAN ID selected by the user is shown on the input ID display screen 512. As an operation for selecting the input ID display screen 512, for example, a tap operation on the input ID display screen 512 is employed. Further, as an operation of selecting a PAN ID to be input from the PAN ID list, a tap operation on a portion where the PAN ID is displayed is adopted.
 なお本例では、ユーザが複数種類のPAN IDから、設定器3に入力するPAN IDを選択する操作を、PAN IDの入力操作としたが、ユーザがPAN IDを直接入力する操作を、PAN IDの入力操作としても良い。 In this example, the operation for the user to select the PAN ID to be input to the setting device 3 from a plurality of types of PAN ID is the PAN ID input operation. However, the operation for the user to directly input the PAN ID is the PAN ID. It is good also as input operation.
 また設定情報入力画面500には、ユーザが入力したPAN IDを照明装置2に送信するための送信ボタン520が含まれている。ユーザによって送信ボタン520を選択する操作が行われると、設定器3では、制御部30が、入力ID表示画面512に示されるPAN IDを通信部31に送信させる。送信ボタン520を選択する操作としては、例えば、送信ボタン520に対するタップ操作が採用される。 Also, the setting information input screen 500 includes a transmission button 520 for transmitting the PAN ID input by the user to the lighting device 2. When the user performs an operation of selecting the transmission button 520, in the setting device 3, the control unit 30 causes the communication unit 31 to transmit the PAN ID shown on the input ID display screen 512. As an operation for selecting the transmission button 520, for example, a tap operation on the transmission button 520 is employed.
 照明装置2では、制御部20は、通信部21が受信した、設定器3からのPAN IDを記憶部22に記憶する。記憶部22には、照明装置2に対する各種設定情報を記憶する不揮発性の設定レジスタが設けられている。制御部20は、設定器3からのPAN IDを設定レジスタに書き込む。これにより、照明装置2に対してPAN IDが設定される。設定レジスタには、照明装置2に対する他の設定情報、例えば、無線チャネル情報、ショートアドレスなどが記憶されている。 In the lighting device 2, the control unit 20 stores the PAN ID received by the communication unit 21 from the setting device 3 in the storage unit 22. The storage unit 22 is provided with a nonvolatile setting register that stores various setting information for the lighting device 2. The control unit 20 writes the PAN ID from the setting device 3 in the setting register. Thereby, the PAN ID is set for the lighting device 2. The setting register stores other setting information for the lighting device 2, such as radio channel information and a short address.
 図9,10は、ユーザが設定画面200を利用して照明装置2に関する設定を設定器3に実行させる際の照明システム1の動作を示すフローチャートである。図9,10では、設定器3及び照明装置2の動作が示されている。図9,10に示される一連の処理を「照明装置設定処理」と呼ぶことがある。 FIGS. 9 and 10 are flowcharts showing the operation of the lighting system 1 when the user causes the setting device 3 to execute the setting related to the lighting device 2 using the setting screen 200. 9 and 10 show operations of the setting device 3 and the lighting device 2. A series of processes shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 may be referred to as “lighting apparatus setting process”.
 図9に示されるように、ステップs11において、設定器3のタッチパネルディスプレイ35(操作部34)が、設定画面200の出力要求ボタン420を選択する操作を受け付けると、ステップs12において、設定器3の通信部31は出力要求信号を送信する。本実施の形態では、例えば通信部31の送信電力は固定である。したがって、出力要求信号の送信電力は変化しない。なお本実施の形態では、各照明装置2の通信部21の送信電力も固定である。 As shown in FIG. 9, when the touch panel display 35 (operation unit 34) of the setting device 3 accepts an operation for selecting the output request button 420 on the setting screen 200 in step s11, the setting device 3 performs the operation in step s12. The communication unit 31 transmits an output request signal. In the present embodiment, for example, the transmission power of the communication unit 31 is fixed. Therefore, the transmission power of the output request signal does not change. In the present embodiment, the transmission power of the communication unit 21 of each lighting device 2 is also fixed.
 ステップs51において、設定器3が送信する出力要求信号を受信した各照明装置2では、制御部20が、信号強度を求めるとともに、記憶部22の設定レジスタから物理アドレス及びPAN IDを読み出す。そして、ステップs52において、制御部20は、物理アドレス、信号強度及びPAN IDを含む送信信号を生成し、それを通信部21に送信させる。本例では、部屋120内の設定器3の通信エリアは、部屋120内の16個の照明装置2のすべてをカバーできないことから、ステップs12において設定器3から送信された出力要求信号は、部屋120内の16個の照明装置2のうちの一部の照明装置2だけが受信する。 In step s51, in each lighting device 2 that has received the output request signal transmitted by the setting device 3, the control unit 20 obtains the signal strength and reads the physical address and the PAN ID from the setting register of the storage unit 22. In step s52, the control unit 20 generates a transmission signal including a physical address, signal strength, and PAN ID, and causes the communication unit 21 to transmit the transmission signal. In this example, since the communication area of the setting device 3 in the room 120 cannot cover all 16 lighting devices 2 in the room 120, the output request signal transmitted from the setting device 3 in step s12 is the room. Only some of the 16 illuminating devices 2 in 120 receive.
 ここで、照明装置2に対してPAN IDが設定されていない場合には、設定レジスタにおける、PAN IDが記憶される領域には初期値が記憶されている。制御部20は、照明装置2に対してPAN IDが設定されていない場合には、この初期値を含む送信信号を通信部21に送信させる。以後、照明装置2が設定器3に通知する物理アドレス、信号強度及びPAN ID(初期値も含む)をまとめて「照明装置情報」と呼ぶことがある。 Here, when a PAN ID is not set for the lighting device 2, an initial value is stored in an area where the PAN ID is stored in the setting register. When the PAN ID is not set for the lighting device 2, the control unit 20 causes the communication unit 21 to transmit a transmission signal including this initial value. Hereinafter, the physical address, signal intensity, and PAN ID (including the initial value) notified from the lighting device 2 to the setting device 3 may be collectively referred to as “lighting device information”.
 設定器3では、ステップs13において、通信部31が設定器3の通信エリアに存在する各照明装置2から照明装置情報を含む送信信号を受信すると、制御部30は、ステップs14において、表示部33を制御して、設定画面200の一覧表411を更新し、受信された送信信号に含まれる照明装置情報を一覧表411に示す。 In the setting device 3, when the communication unit 31 receives a transmission signal including lighting device information from each lighting device 2 existing in the communication area of the setting device 3 in step s13, the control unit 30 displays the display unit 33 in step s14. And the list 411 of the setting screen 200 is updated, and the illumination device information included in the received transmission signal is shown in the list 411.
 図11に示される設定画面200には、更新後の一覧表411が示されている。図11に示される一覧表411には、設定器3が複数の照明装置2から受信した照明装置情報が示されている。図11の例では、一覧表411の各欄は、物理アドレスの小さいものから順に示されている。図11の例では、PAN IDとして初期値が示されている。図11の例では、一覧表画面410に一覧表411のすべてを同時に表示することができないため、スクロールバー412には、表示スライド用のノブ412aが示されている。 In the setting screen 200 shown in FIG. 11, a list 411 after the update is shown. In the list 411 shown in FIG. 11, lighting device information received from the plurality of lighting devices 2 by the setting device 3 is shown. In the example of FIG. 11, each column of the list 411 is shown in order from the smallest physical address. In the example of FIG. 11, an initial value is shown as the PAN ID. In the example of FIG. 11, not all of the list 411 can be displayed on the list screen 410 at the same time. Therefore, the scroll bar 412 shows a display slide knob 412a.
 一覧表411が更新された後、ユーザは、タッチパネルディスプレイ35に対して、設定対象の照明装置2を選択する設定対象選択操作を実行する。本実施の形態では、設定対象選択操作は、例えば、一覧表411に含まれる、設定対象の照明装置2に対応する欄(設定対象の照明装置2の照明装置情報が示されている欄)を選択する操作である。一覧表411に含まれる、設定対象の照明装置2に対応する欄を選択する操作としては、例えば、当該欄に対するタップ操作が採用される。 After the list 411 is updated, the user performs a setting target selection operation for selecting the setting target lighting device 2 on the touch panel display 35. In the present embodiment, the setting target selection operation includes, for example, a column corresponding to the setting target lighting device 2 included in the list 411 (a column in which the lighting device information of the setting target lighting device 2 is shown). The operation to select. As an operation for selecting a field corresponding to the setting target lighting device 2 included in the list 411, for example, a tap operation on the field is employed.
 図12は、ユーザが、物理アドレス「12:34:56:78」を有する照明装置2を設定対象として選択する様子が示されている。図12の例では、ユーザが、自身の指101で、物理アドレス「12:34:56:78」を有する照明装置2の照明装置情報が示される欄411aをタップ操作する様子が示されている。本実施の形態では、ユーザが、欄411aのどこをタップ操作したとしても、物理アドレス「12:34:56:78」を有する照明装置2が設定対象とされる。 FIG. 12 shows a state in which the user selects the lighting device 2 having the physical address “12: 34: 56: 78” as a setting target. In the example of FIG. 12, the user taps the column 411a in which the lighting device information of the lighting device 2 having the physical address “12: 34: 56: 78” is displayed with his / her finger 101. . In the present embodiment, the lighting device 2 having the physical address “12: 34: 56: 78” is set as the setting target regardless of where the user performs the tap operation in the column 411a.
 ステップs21において、タッチパネルディスプレイ35が設定対象選択操作を受け付けると、ステップs22において、制御部30は、設定対象選択操作によって選択された設定対象の照明装置2に対して、その点灯状態を変更することを指示する変更指示信号を生成し、それを通信部31に送信させる。この変更指示信号には、設定対象の照明装置2の物理アドレスが含まれている。 In step s21, when the touch panel display 35 receives the setting target selection operation, in step s22, the control unit 30 changes the lighting state of the setting target lighting device 2 selected by the setting target selection operation. Is generated, and the communication unit 31 transmits the change instruction signal. This change instruction signal includes the physical address of the lighting device 2 to be set.
 また、タッチパネルディスプレイ35が設定対象選択操作を受け付けると、制御部30は、表示部33を制御して、一覧表411において、設定対象の照明装置2の照明装置情報を示す欄の表示態様が、他の欄の表示態様と異なるようにする。設定対象の照明装置2の照明装置情報を示す欄は、例えば、それ以外の欄よりも明るく表示される。図13は、設定対象の照明装置2の照明装置情報を示す欄411aが、それ以外の欄よりも明るく表示されている様子を模式的に示す図である。図13では、欄411aに斜線を示すことによって、欄411aが、それ以外の欄よりも明るく表示されている様子が模式的に示されている。 When the touch panel display 35 accepts the setting target selection operation, the control unit 30 controls the display unit 33 so that the display mode of the column indicating the lighting device information of the setting target lighting device 2 in the list 411 is Different from the display mode in the other columns. The column indicating the lighting device information of the setting target lighting device 2 is displayed brighter than the other columns, for example. FIG. 13 is a diagram schematically illustrating a state in which the column 411a indicating the lighting device information of the setting target lighting device 2 is displayed brighter than the other columns. In FIG. 13, a state in which the column 411a is displayed brighter than the other columns is schematically illustrated by indicating a diagonal line in the column 411a.
 照明装置2では、通信部21が変更指示信号を受信すると(ステップs61)、制御部20は、当該変更指示信号に含まれる物理アドレスと、自身の物理アドレスとを比較する。制御部20、両者が一致しないときには、通信部21が受信した変更指示信号は自分宛ての信号ではないと判断して、照明器具24の自身の点灯状態を変更しない。一方で、制御部20、両者が一致するときには、通信部21が受信した変更指示信号は自分宛ての信号であると判断して、照明器具24の点灯状態を変更する(ステップs62)。本実施の形態では、制御部20は、例えば、常時点灯している照明器具24が点滅するように照明器具24を制御する。これより、ユーザによって設定対象として選択された照明装置2だけが点滅するようになる。 In the lighting device 2, when the communication unit 21 receives the change instruction signal (step s61), the control unit 20 compares the physical address included in the change instruction signal with its own physical address. When the control unit 20 and the two do not match, it is determined that the change instruction signal received by the communication unit 21 is not a signal addressed to itself, and the lighting state of the lighting fixture 24 is not changed. On the other hand, when both match, the control unit 20 determines that the change instruction signal received by the communication unit 21 is a signal addressed to itself, and changes the lighting state of the lighting fixture 24 (step s62). In this Embodiment, the control part 20 controls the lighting fixture 24 so that the lighting fixture 24 always lighted, for example will blink. As a result, only the lighting device 2 selected as the setting target by the user blinks.
 ユーザは、設定器3に対して設定対象選択操作を行うと、設定対象の照明装置2の物理アドレスと、全体レイアウト情報における、設定対象の照明装置2の位置(ビルでの位置)を示す照明位置情報(以後、「対象照明位置情報」と呼ぶことがある)との対応付けを設定器3に実行させるために、まず、点滅している設定対象の照明装置2の位置を確認する。そして、ユーザは、その確認結果に基づいて、対象照明位置情報を指定する位置情報指定操作をタッチパネルディスプレイ35に行う。 When the user performs a setting target selection operation on the setting device 3, the lighting indicating the physical address of the setting target lighting device 2 and the position of the setting target lighting device 2 (the position in the building) in the overall layout information. In order to cause the setting device 3 to execute association with position information (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as “target illumination position information”), first, the position of the blinking setting target illumination device 2 is confirmed. Then, the user performs a position information specifying operation for specifying target illumination position information on the touch panel display 35 based on the confirmation result.
 本実施の形態では、例えば、設定器3での設定画面200に示されるレイアウト図310において、設定対象の照明装置2の位置に対応する位置に示される照明装置図320(以後、「対象照明装置図320」と呼ぶことがある)を選択する装置図選択操作が、位置情報指定操作として採用されている。図14は、装置図選択操作を説明するための図である。 In the present embodiment, for example, in the layout diagram 310 shown on the setting screen 200 in the setting device 3, the lighting device diagram 320 shown at a position corresponding to the position of the lighting device 2 to be set (hereinafter referred to as “target lighting device”). The device diagram selection operation for selecting (which may be referred to as “FIG. 320”) is employed as the position information designation operation. FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining a device diagram selection operation.
 本実施の形態では、例えば、ドラッグアンドドロップと呼ばれる操作に類似した操作が、装置図選択操作に採用されている。ユーザは、装置図選択操作を行う際には、まず、一覧表411において、設定対象の照明装置2についての照明装置情報が示される欄に対して指101を接触させる(タッチ操作)。その後、ユーザは、指101を設定画面200に接触させた状態で、レイアウト図310での対象照明装置図320まで移動させた後(スライド操作後)、指101を対象照明装置図320から離す。これにより、対象照明装置図320が選択され、対象照明位置情報が指定される。つまり、レイアウト図310において、全体レイアウト情報に含まれるある照明位置情報に応じて配置された対象照明装置図320が選択されると、当該ある照明位置情報が対象照明位置情報として指定される。 In this embodiment, for example, an operation similar to an operation called drag-and-drop is adopted for the device diagram selection operation. When performing a device diagram selection operation, the user first brings the finger 101 into contact with a column in the list 411 in which lighting device information about the lighting device 2 to be set is shown (touch operation). Thereafter, the user moves the finger 101 to the target lighting device diagram 320 in the layout diagram 310 (after the slide operation) in a state where the finger 101 is in contact with the setting screen 200, and then releases the finger 101 from the target lighting device diagram 320. As a result, the target illumination device diagram 320 is selected and target illumination position information is designated. That is, in the layout diagram 310, when the target illumination device diagram 320 arranged according to certain illumination position information included in the overall layout information is selected, the certain illumination position information is designated as the target illumination position information.
 設定器3では、ステップs31において、タッチパネルディスプレイ35が位置情報指定操作を受け付けると、制御部30は、ステップs32において、設定対象の照明装置2の物理アドレスと、対象照明位置情報とを対応付けて、その対応付けを示す位置対応付け情報を生成して記憶部32に記憶する。また、制御部30は、設定対象の照明装置2の物理アドレスと対象照明位置情報とを対応付けると、表示部33を制御して、対象照明装置図320の表示態様を、他の照明装置図320の表示態様と異なるようにする。例えば、対象照明装置図320は、それ以外の照明装置図320よりも暗く表示される。図15は、対象照明装置図320が、それ以外の照明装置図320よりも暗く表示される様子を模式的に示す図である。図15では、対象照明装置図320に斜線を示すことによって、対象照明装置図320が、それ以外の照明装置図320よりも暗く表示されている様子が模式的に示されている。 In the setting device 3, when the touch panel display 35 accepts the position information specifying operation in step s31, the control unit 30 associates the physical address of the setting target lighting device 2 with the target lighting position information in step s32. Then, position association information indicating the association is generated and stored in the storage unit 32. When the control unit 30 associates the physical address of the setting target lighting device 2 with the target lighting position information, the control unit 30 controls the display unit 33 to change the display mode of the target lighting device diagram 320 to another lighting device diagram 320. The display mode is different. For example, the target illumination device diagram 320 is displayed darker than the other illumination device diagrams 320. FIG. 15 is a diagram schematically illustrating a state in which the target illumination device diagram 320 is displayed darker than the other illumination device diagrams 320. In FIG. 15, a state in which the target illumination device diagram 320 is displayed darker than the other illumination device diagrams 320 is schematically shown by slashing the target illumination device diagram 320.
 このように、本実施の形態では、設定対象の照明装置2の点灯状態が変更されることから、ユーザは、設定対象の照明装置2の実際の位置を特定し易くなる。よって、ユーザは、設定器3を利用して、全体レイアウト情報における、設定対象の照明装置2の位置を示す照明位置情報を指定し易くなる。したがって、設定対象の照明装置2の物理アドレストと、全体レイアウト情報における、設定対象の照明装置2の位置を示す照明位置情報との対応付けミスが発生することを抑制できる。その結果、照明装置2の物理アドレスと照明位置情報との対応付けの作業効率が向上する。 Thus, in this embodiment, since the lighting state of the setting target lighting device 2 is changed, the user can easily identify the actual position of the setting target lighting device 2. Therefore, the user can easily specify the illumination position information indicating the position of the illumination device 2 to be set in the overall layout information using the setting device 3. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of an association error between the physical address of the setting target lighting device 2 and the illumination position information indicating the position of the setting target lighting device 2 in the overall layout information. As a result, the work efficiency of associating the physical address of the illumination device 2 with the illumination position information is improved.
 さらに、本実施の形態では、設定器3には、設定対象の照明装置2と設定器3との間の信号強度が表示される。信号強度は、設定器3と設定対象の照明装置2との間の距離に応じて変化することから、ユーザは、設定器3に表示される信号強度を参照することによって、設定対象の照明装置2の位置を特定し易くなる。したがって、設定対象の照明装置2の物理アドレストと、全体レイアウト情報における、設定対象の照明装置2の位置を示す照明位置情報との対応付けミスが発生することをさらに抑制できる。 Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the setting device 3 displays the signal strength between the setting target illumination device 2 and the setting device 3. Since the signal intensity changes according to the distance between the setting device 3 and the lighting device 2 to be set, the user can refer to the signal strength displayed on the setting device 3 to set the lighting device to be set. It becomes easy to specify the position of 2. Therefore, it is possible to further suppress the occurrence of a correspondence error between the physical address of the setting target lighting device 2 and the illumination position information indicating the position of the setting target lighting device 2 in the overall layout information.
 なお上記の例では、装置図選択操作において、ユーザが、レイアウト図310での対象照明装置図320まで指101を移動させた後、指101を対象照明装置図320から離したときに、対象照明装置図320が選択されるようにしていたが、これに加えて、ユーザが、レイアウト図310において、対象照明装置図320の周辺の領域まで指101を移動させた後、指101を設定画面200から離したときにも、対象照明装置図320が選択されるようにしても良い。これにより、ユーザが対象照明装置図320から少しずれた状態で指101を離した場合にも、対象照明装置図320が選択されることから、設定器3の操作性が向上する。 In the above example, in the device diagram selection operation, when the user moves the finger 101 to the target illumination device diagram 320 in the layout diagram 310 and then releases the finger 101 from the target illumination device diagram 320, the target illumination is displayed. The device diagram 320 is selected. In addition, after the user moves the finger 101 to the area around the target illumination device diagram 320 in the layout diagram 310, the finger 101 is set on the setting screen 200. The target illumination device diagram 320 may also be selected when it is separated from. Thereby, even when the user releases the finger 101 in a state slightly deviated from the target lighting device diagram 320, the target lighting device diagram 320 is selected, so that the operability of the setting device 3 is improved.
 また上記の例では、ドラッグアンドドロップに類似した操作が、装置図選択操作とされているが、装置図選択操作はこれ以外であっても良い。例えば、対象照明装置図320に対する単なるタップ操作が装置図選択操作とされても良い。この場合には、図14のようなスライド操作が不要となり、装置図選択操作が簡素化され、設定器3の操作性が向上する。 In the above example, the operation similar to drag and drop is the device diagram selection operation, but the device diagram selection operation may be other than this. For example, a simple tap operation on the target illumination device diagram 320 may be a device diagram selection operation. In this case, the slide operation as shown in FIG. 14 becomes unnecessary, the device diagram selection operation is simplified, and the operability of the setting device 3 is improved.
 ユーザは、タッチパネルディスプレイ35に対して位置情報指定操作を行った後、PAN ID入力画面510を利用して、PAN IDの入力操作をタッチパネルディスプレイ35に対して行う。具体的には、上述のように、ユーザは、PAN ID入力画面510の入力ID表示画面512を選択する操作を行う。そして、ユーザは、設定情報入力画面500の上に表示された、複数種類のPAN IDの一覧から、入力すべきPAN IDを選択する。 The user performs a PAN ID input operation on the touch panel display 35 using the PAN ID input screen 510 after performing the position information specifying operation on the touch panel display 35. Specifically, as described above, the user performs an operation of selecting the input ID display screen 512 of the PAN ID input screen 510. Then, the user selects a PAN ID to be input from a list of a plurality of types of PAN IDs displayed on the setting information input screen 500.
 設定器3では、図10に示されるように、ステップs41において、タッチパネルディスプレイ35がPAN IDの入力操作を受け付けると、制御部30は、表示部33に、入力されたPAN IDを入力ID表示画面512に表示させる。図16は、入力されたPAN IDが入力ID表示画面512に表示されている様子を示す図である。 In the setting device 3, as shown in FIG. 10, when the touch panel display 35 accepts a PAN ID input operation in step s41, the control unit 30 displays the input PAN ID on the input unit 33 on the input ID display screen. 512 is displayed. FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating a state where the input PAN ID is displayed on the input ID display screen 512.
 ステップs41の後、タッチパネルディスプレイ35が、ステップs42において、送信ボタン520を選択する操作を検出すると、ステップs43において、制御部30は、入力されたPAN IDと、設定対象の照明装置2の物理アドレスとを含む送信信号を生成し、それを通信部31に送信させる。また、制御部30は、入力されたPAN IDと、設定対象の照明装置2の物理アドレスとを対応付けて、その対応付けを示すID対応付け情報を記憶部32に記憶する。 After step s41, when the touch panel display 35 detects an operation of selecting the transmission button 520 in step s42, in step s43, the control unit 30 inputs the input PAN ID and the physical address of the lighting device 2 to be set. Is generated, and the communication unit 31 is caused to transmit it. In addition, the control unit 30 associates the input PAN ID with the physical address of the setting target lighting device 2 and stores ID association information indicating the association in the storage unit 32.
 ステップs71において、設定器3からの送信信号を通信部21で受信した照明装置2では、制御部20が、当該送信信号に含まれる物理アドレスと、自身の物理アドレスとを比較する。制御部20、両者が一致しないときには、通信部21が受信した送信信号は自分宛ての信号ではないと判断して、当該送信信号に含まれるPAN IDを破棄する。一方で、制御部20、両者が一致するときには、通信部21が受信した送信信号は自分宛ての信号であると判断して、照明器具24の点灯状態の変更を解除する(ステップs72)。つまり、設定対象の照明装置2では、制御部20が、照明器具24の点滅状態を解除して、照明器具24を常時点灯させる。制御部20は、照明器具24の点灯状態の変更を解除すると、ステップs73において、通信部21が受信した自分宛ての送信信号に含まれるPAN IDを、記憶部22の設定レジスタに書き込む。これにより、設定対象の照明装置2に対してPAN IDが設定される。 In step s71, in the lighting device 2 that has received the transmission signal from the setting device 3 by the communication unit 21, the control unit 20 compares the physical address included in the transmission signal with its own physical address. When the control unit 20 and the two do not match, it is determined that the transmission signal received by the communication unit 21 is not a signal addressed to itself, and the PAN ID included in the transmission signal is discarded. On the other hand, when both match, the control unit 20 determines that the transmission signal received by the communication unit 21 is a signal addressed to itself, and cancels the change of the lighting state of the lighting fixture 24 (step s72). That is, in the lighting device 2 to be set, the control unit 20 cancels the blinking state of the lighting fixture 24 and causes the lighting fixture 24 to be constantly turned on. When the change of the lighting state of the lighting fixture 24 is cancelled, the control unit 20 writes the PAN ID included in the transmission signal addressed to itself received by the communication unit 21 in the setting register of the storage unit 22 in step s73. Thereby, PAN ID is set with respect to the illuminating device 2 of setting object.
 制御部20は、設定レジスタにPAN IDを書き込んだ後、ステップs74において、自装置の物理アドレスを含むACK信号を生成し、それを通信部21に送信させる。このとき、ACK信号には、設定レジスタに書き込まれたPAN IDが含められる。また、制御部20は、通信部21が受信した自分宛ての送信信号のRSSIを求めて、これを信号強度としてACK信号に含める。 After writing the PAN ID in the setting register, the control unit 20 generates an ACK signal including the physical address of the own device and transmits it to the communication unit 21 in step s74. At this time, the ACK signal includes the PAN ID written in the setting register. Moreover, the control part 20 calculates | requires RSSI of the transmission signal addressed to itself which the communication part 21 received, and includes this in an ACK signal as signal strength.
 設定器3では、ステップs44において、通信部31がACK信号を受信すると、制御部30は、ステップs45において、表示部33を制御して一覧表411を更新し、当該ACK信号に含まれるPAN ID及び信号強度を一覧表411に示す。このとき、制御部30は、一覧表411において、設定済みの設定対象の照明装置2の照明装置情報が示される欄の表示態様が、未設定の照明装置2の照明装置情報が示される欄の表示態様と異なるようにする。以後、設定済みの照明装置2の照明装置情報が示される欄を「設定済み欄」と呼び、未設定の照明装置2の照明装置情報が示される欄を「未設定欄」と呼ぶことがある。 In the setting device 3, when the communication unit 31 receives the ACK signal in step s44, the control unit 30 controls the display unit 33 in step s45 to update the list 411, and the PAN ID included in the ACK signal. Table 411 shows the signal strength. At this time, in the list 411, the control unit 30 displays a column in which the lighting device information of the set lighting device 2 to be set is displayed in a column in which the lighting device information of the lighting device 2 that has not been set is displayed. Different from the display mode. Hereinafter, a column in which the lighting device information of the set lighting device 2 is indicated is sometimes referred to as a “set column”, and a column in which the lighting device information of the unset lighting device 2 is indicated is referred to as a “unset column”. .
 設定済み欄は、例えば、未設定欄よりも暗く表示される。図17には、更新後の一覧表411が示されている。図17では、設定済み欄411aに砂地のハッチングを付することによって、設定済み欄411aが、未設定欄よりも暗く表示されている様子が模式的に示されている。以後、設定済み欄の表示態様を「設定済み表示態様」と呼ぶことがある。 The set field is displayed darker than the unset field, for example. FIG. 17 shows a list 411 after the update. FIG. 17 schematically shows a state in which the set field 411a is displayed darker than the unset field by adding sandy hatching to the set field 411a. Hereinafter, the display mode of the set column may be referred to as “set display mode”.
 ユーザは、ステップs45において更新された一覧表411の内容を確認して、一覧表411に照明装置情報が示される照明装置2のすべてに関する設定が完了したか否かを判定する。ユーザは、一覧表411に照明装置情報が示される照明装置2のすべてに関する設定が完了していないと判定すると、設定器3のタッチパネルディスプレイ35に対して、新たな設定対象の照明装置2を選択する設定対象選択操作を行う。 The user confirms the contents of the list 411 updated in step s45, and determines whether or not the setting for all of the lighting devices 2 whose lighting device information is indicated in the list 411 is completed. When the user determines that the settings regarding all of the lighting devices 2 whose lighting device information is shown in the list 411 are not completed, the user selects a new setting target lighting device 2 on the touch panel display 35 of the setting device 3. Perform the selection target selection operation.
 図9のステップs21において、タッチパネルディスプレイ35が、新たな設定対象選択操作を受け付けると、制御部30は、設定対象選択操作によって選択された、新たな設定対象の照明装置2に対して、その点灯状態を変更することを指示する変更指示信号を生成して、それを通信部31送信させる(ステップs22)。また、制御部30は、図18に示されるように、表示部33を制御して、一覧表411において、新たな設定対象の照明装置2の照明装置情報を示す欄の表示態様が、他の欄の表示態様と異なるようにする。図18の例では、物理アドレス「12:34:56:79」の照明装置2が新たな設定対象とされている。 In step s21 of FIG. 9, when the touch panel display 35 receives a new setting target selection operation, the control unit 30 turns on the new setting target lighting device 2 selected by the setting target selection operation. A change instruction signal instructing to change the state is generated and transmitted to the communication unit 31 (step s22). Further, as shown in FIG. 18, the control unit 30 controls the display unit 33 so that the display mode of the column indicating the lighting device information of the new setting target lighting device 2 in the list 411 is other than Make it different from the display mode of the column. In the example of FIG. 18, the lighting device 2 with the physical address “12: 34: 56: 79” is a new setting target.
 以後、同様にして、ステップs61,s62,s31,s32,s41~s43,s71~s74,s44,s45が実行される。 Thereafter, similarly, steps s61, s62, s31, s32, s41 to s43, s71 to s74, s44, and s45 are executed.
 ユーザは、ステップs45において更新された一覧表411の内容を確認した結果、一覧表411に照明装置情報が示される照明装置2のすべてに関する設定が完了したと判定すると、ユーザは、設定器3に示されるレイアウト図310を確認して、自身が現在存在する部屋120のすべての照明装置2に関する設定が完了したか否かを判定する。レイアウト図310では、設定済みの照明装置2を示す照明装置図320が、未設定の照明装置2を示す照明装置図320とは異なる態様で表示されることから、ユーザは、レイアウト図310から、自身が現在存在する部屋120のすべての照明装置2に関する設定が完了したか否かを判定することができる。図19は、一覧表411に照明装置情報が示される照明装置2のすべてに関する設定が完了した状態での設定画面200の一例を示す図である。図19の例では、ユーザが存在する部屋120に配置された16個の照明装置2のうち、半分の8個の照明装置2に関する設定が完了している。 As a result of confirming the contents of the list 411 updated in step s45, the user determines that the settings regarding all of the lighting devices 2 whose lighting device information is indicated in the list 411 are complete, the user enters the setting device 3 The layout diagram 310 shown is confirmed, and it is determined whether or not the settings relating to all the lighting devices 2 in the room 120 in which the device itself currently exists have been completed. In the layout diagram 310, the lighting device diagram 320 showing the set lighting device 2 is displayed in a different manner from the lighting device diagram 320 showing the unconfigured lighting device 2, so the user can It is possible to determine whether or not the settings relating to all the lighting devices 2 in the room 120 in which the user currently exists have been completed. FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating an example of the setting screen 200 in a state where the settings regarding all of the lighting devices 2 whose lighting device information is shown in the list 411 are completed. In the example of FIG. 19, the setting for half of the eight lighting devices 2 among the sixteen lighting devices 2 arranged in the room 120 where the user exists is completed.
 ユーザは、自身が現在存在する部屋120のすべての照明装置2に関する設定が完了していないと判定すると、設定器3を所持して部屋120内を移動し、未設定の照明装置2と設定器3との間の距離が小さくなるようにする。そして、ユーザは、タッチパネルディスプレイ35に対して出力要求ボタン420を選択する操作を行う。 If the user determines that the settings related to all the lighting devices 2 in the room 120 in which the user currently exists have not been completed, the user moves in the room 120 with the setting device 3, and the unconfigured lighting device 2 and setting device The distance between 3 is made small. Then, the user performs an operation of selecting the output request button 420 on the touch panel display 35.
 ステップs11において、タッチパネルディスプレイ35が、設定画面200の出力要求ボタン420を選択する操作を受け付けると、ステップs12において、通信部31は出力要求信号を送信する。以後、同様にして、ステップs51,s52,s13,s14が実行される。ステップs14において一覧表411が更新されると、一覧表411には、未設定の照明装置2に関する照明装置情報が示される。ここで、すでに設定済みの照明装置2からの照明装置情報が設定器3で受信された場合には、一覧表411での当該照明装置情報を示す欄の表示態様は、設定済み表示態様となる。 In step s11, when the touch panel display 35 receives an operation for selecting the output request button 420 on the setting screen 200, the communication unit 31 transmits an output request signal in step s12. Thereafter, similarly, steps s51, s52, s13, and s14 are executed. When the list 411 is updated in step s14, the list 411 shows lighting device information related to the unset lighting device 2. Here, when the lighting device information from the lighting device 2 that has already been set is received by the setting device 3, the display mode of the column indicating the lighting device information in the list 411 is the set display mode. .
 ユーザは、ステップs14で更新された一覧表411を確認して、未設定の照明装置2を特定する。そして、ユーザは、未設定の照明装置2を設定対象の照明装置2として選択する設定対象選択操作をタッチパネルディスプレイ35に実行する。ステップs21において、タッチパネルディスプレイ35が新たな設定対象選択操作を受け付けると、ステップs22以降が同様に実行される。 The user confirms the list 411 updated in step s14, and identifies the unconfigured lighting device 2. Then, the user performs a setting target selection operation on the touch panel display 35 to select the unset lighting device 2 as the setting target lighting device 2. In step s21, when the touch panel display 35 accepts a new setting target selection operation, step s22 and subsequent steps are similarly executed.
 以後、ユーザは、一覧表411及びレイアウト図310を確認しながら設定器3を操作することによって、部屋120に存在するすべての照明装置2に関する設定を設定器3に実行させる。ユーザは、部屋120に存在するすべての照明装置2に関する設定が完了すると、部屋120に存在する各照明装置2を管理するエリアコントローラ5と、設定器3とが通信できるように、当該設定器3を所持して移動する。そして、ユーザは、設定器3を操作して、設定器3に、部屋120に存在する各照明装置2に関するID対応付け情報を、当該照明装置3を管理するエリアコントローラ5に対して送信させる。これにより、部屋120に存在する各照明装置2を管理するエリアコントローラ5は、部屋120に存在する各照明装置2に設定されたPAN IDを知ることができる。よって、当該エリアコントローラ5は、部屋120に存在する各照明装置2と無線通信することが可能となる。 Thereafter, the user operates the setting device 3 while confirming the list 411 and the layout diagram 310 to cause the setting device 3 to perform settings related to all the lighting devices 2 existing in the room 120. When the setting for all the lighting devices 2 existing in the room 120 is completed, the user can communicate with the setting device 3 so that the area controller 5 managing each lighting device 2 existing in the room 120 and the setting device 3 can communicate with each other. Move in possession of. Then, the user operates the setting device 3 to cause the setting device 3 to transmit ID association information regarding each lighting device 2 existing in the room 120 to the area controller 5 that manages the lighting device 3. Thereby, the area controller 5 that manages each lighting device 2 existing in the room 120 can know the PAN ID set in each lighting device 2 existing in the room 120. Therefore, the area controller 5 can wirelessly communicate with each lighting device 2 existing in the room 120.
 本実施の形態では、設定器3は、統合コントローラ6に有線等で接続されることによって、統合コントローラ6と通信可能となっている。ユーザは、部屋120に存在するすべての照明装置2に関する設定が完了すると、設定器3を統合コントローラ6に接続して、設定器3が統合コントローラ6と通信できるようにする。そして、ユーザは、設定器3を操作して、設定器3に、部屋120に存在する各照明装置2に関する位置対応付け情報を統合コントローラ6に送信させる。統合コントローラ6は、設定器3から受信した位置対応付け情報を記憶部64に記憶して、当該位置対応付け情報を位置対応関係情報に含ませる。 In the present embodiment, the setting device 3 can communicate with the integrated controller 6 by being connected to the integrated controller 6 by wire or the like. When the setting for all the lighting devices 2 existing in the room 120 is completed, the user connects the setting device 3 to the integrated controller 6 so that the setting device 3 can communicate with the integrated controller 6. Then, the user operates the setting device 3 to cause the setting device 3 to transmit position association information regarding each lighting device 2 existing in the room 120 to the integrated controller 6. The integrated controller 6 stores the position association information received from the setting device 3 in the storage unit 64 and includes the position association information in the position correspondence information.
 なお、統合コントローラ6ではなくビル管理コントローラが位置対応関係情報を管理する場合には、設定器3が生成した位置対応付け情報は、統合コントローラ6ではなくビル管理コントローラに入力される。このとき、設定器3とビル管理コントローラとを直接接続して、設定器3からビル管理コントローラに位置対応付け情報が入力されて良い。あるいは、設定器3と通信可能なエリアコントローラ5及び統合コントローラ6を介して、設定器3から位置対応付け情報がビル管理コントローラに入力されても良い。 When the building management controller manages the location correspondence information instead of the integrated controller 6, the location association information generated by the setting device 3 is input to the building management controller instead of the integrated controller 6. At this time, the setting device 3 and the building management controller may be directly connected, and the position association information may be input from the setting device 3 to the building management controller. Alternatively, the location association information may be input from the setting device 3 to the building management controller via the area controller 5 and the integrated controller 6 that can communicate with the setting device 3.
 ユーザは、別の部屋の照明装置2に関する設定を設定器3に実行させる際には、設定器3を所持してその部屋に移動する。そして、ユーザは、その部屋内で設定器3を同様に操作することによって、その部屋の各照明装置2に関する設定を設定器3に実行させる。ある部屋の各照明装置2に関する設定が設定器3で実行されると、それによって得られた位置対応付け情報及びID対応付け情報が、統合コントローラ6及び当該照明装置2を管理するエリアコントローラ5にそれぞれ入力される。 When the user causes the setting device 3 to execute the setting related to the lighting device 2 in another room, the user possesses the setting device 3 and moves to that room. Then, the user operates the setting device 3 in the same manner to cause the setting device 3 to perform setting related to each lighting device 2 in the room. When setting related to each lighting device 2 in a room is executed by the setting device 3, the position association information and ID association information obtained thereby are transferred to the integrated controller 6 and the area controller 5 that manages the lighting device 2. Each is entered.
 本実施の形態に係る照明システム1がビルに導入される場合には、ビルに設けられた各照明装置に関する設定が上記のようにして設定器3で実行される。また、照明システム1が既に導入されているビルにおいて、照明装置2が追加されたり、照明装置2の交換が行われたりする場合には、その新しい照明装置2に関する設定が設定器3で実行される。 When the lighting system 1 according to the present embodiment is introduced into a building, the setting device 3 executes the setting related to each lighting device provided in the building as described above. In addition, in a building where the lighting system 1 has already been introduced, when the lighting device 2 is added or the lighting device 2 is exchanged, settings related to the new lighting device 2 are executed by the setting device 3. The
 なお上記の例では、設定器3は、未設定の照明装置2に関する設定を行っているが、設定済みの照明装置2に関する設定を変更することも可能である。つまり、設定器3は、照明装置2に関する設定の再設定も可能である。上述のステップs21において、タッチパネルディスプレイ35が、設定済みの照明装置2を設定対象として選択する設定対象選択操作を受け付けると、ステップs22において、制御部30は、設定対象選択操作で選択された設定対象の照明装置2に変更指示信号を通信部31に送信させる。以後、ステップs61以降が同様に実行されて、設定対象の照明装置2に関する設定が実行される。つまり、設定済みの照明装置2に関する設定が再設定される。 In the above example, the setting device 3 performs the setting related to the unset lighting device 2, but it is also possible to change the setting related to the lighting device 2 that has been set. That is, the setting device 3 can reset the settings related to the lighting device 2. In step s21 described above, when the touch panel display 35 receives a setting target selection operation for selecting the set lighting device 2 as a setting target, in step s22, the control unit 30 sets the setting target selected by the setting target selection operation. The change instruction signal is transmitted to the communication unit 31. Thereafter, step s61 and the subsequent steps are executed in the same manner, and the setting related to the setting target lighting device 2 is executed. That is, the setting related to the set lighting device 2 is reset.
 また、設定器3と照明装置2との間の無線通信で使用される使用無線チャネルを予め定めておいて、使用無線チャネルを示す使用無線チャネル情報を設定器3及び各照明装置2に予め記憶させておいても良い。また設定器3が、照明装置2が使用する無線チャネルが不明である場合には、チャネルスキャンを行って、照明装置2が使用する無線チャネルを特定し、特定した無線チャネルを用いて、照明装置2と無線通信を行っても良い。例えば、設定器3は、上述のステップs12において、各無線チャネルを用いて出力要求信号を送信する。そして、設定器3は、ステップs13において、各無線チャネルを用いて、照明装置2からの、照明装置情報を含む送信信号を受信する。設定器3は、照明装置2から、照明装置情報を含む送信信号を受信した無線チャネルを、照明装置2が使用する無線チャネルとする。 Also, a wireless channel to be used for wireless communication between the setting device 3 and the lighting device 2 is determined in advance, and wireless wireless channel information indicating the wireless channel used is stored in the setting device 3 and each lighting device 2 in advance. You can leave it. In addition, when the wireless channel used by the lighting device 2 is unknown, the setting device 3 performs a channel scan to identify the wireless channel used by the lighting device 2 and uses the identified wireless channel to perform the lighting device. 2 may be used for wireless communication. For example, the setting device 3 transmits an output request signal using each wireless channel in step s12 described above. And the setting device 3 receives the transmission signal containing the illuminating device information from the illuminating device 2 using each wireless channel in step s13. The setting device 3 sets the wireless channel that has received the transmission signal including the lighting device information from the lighting device 2 as the wireless channel used by the lighting device 2.
 また上記の例では、設定器3からの出力要求信号を受信した照明装置2が、照明装置情報を含む信号を送信しているが、設定器3に出力要求ボタン420を設けずに、つまり設定器3からは出力要求信号を送信することなく、未設定の照明装置2が自ら、照明装置情報を含む信号を間隔を空けて送信しても良い。この場合には、ユーザ操作が簡素化される。 In the above example, the lighting device 2 that has received the output request signal from the setting device 3 transmits a signal including the lighting device information, but the setting device 3 is not provided with the output request button 420, that is, is set. The non-set lighting device 2 may transmit a signal including lighting device information at intervals without transmitting an output request signal from the device 3. In this case, the user operation is simplified.
 以上のように、設定器3がユーザ操作に応じて照明装置2に関する設定を行うため、照明装置2がユーザによって直接触れられることなく、当該照明装置2に関する設定が実行される。よって、照明装置2に関する設定の作業効率が向上する。また上記のように、照明装置2が天井等に設置された後に、設定器3によって当該照明装置2に関する設定が可能であることから、作業効率がさらに向上する。 As described above, since the setting device 3 performs settings related to the lighting device 2 in response to a user operation, the settings related to the lighting device 2 are executed without the lighting device 2 being directly touched by the user. Therefore, the work efficiency of the setting regarding the lighting device 2 is improved. In addition, as described above, after the lighting device 2 is installed on the ceiling or the like, the setting device 3 can perform settings related to the lighting device 2, so that work efficiency is further improved.
 これに対して、照明装置2に対して、PAN ID等の設定情報の設定用のディップスイッチを設けることによっても、照明装置2に設定情報を設定することが可能である。この場合には、ユーザは、照明装置2のディップスイッチを直接操作する必要がある。さらにディップスイッチがケース等で覆われている場合には、当該ケース等を外した上でディップスイッチを操作する必要がある。そのため、作業時間が長くなる。特に、ビルへの照明システムの導入時には、非常に多くの照明装置2に対して設定情報を設定する必要があることから、この問題は顕著になる。また、天井に設定された照明装置2の設定情報を変更する場合等においては、ユーザは脚立等に乗った状態で当該照明装置2のディップスイッチを操作する必要があり、作業時間が長くなる。 On the other hand, the setting information can be set in the lighting device 2 by providing the lighting device 2 with a dip switch for setting the setting information such as the PAN ID. In this case, the user needs to directly operate the dip switch of the lighting device 2. Further, when the dip switch is covered with a case or the like, it is necessary to operate the dip switch after removing the case or the like. Therefore, the work time becomes long. In particular, when the lighting system is introduced into a building, this problem becomes significant because it is necessary to set setting information for a large number of lighting devices 2. In addition, when changing the setting information of the lighting device 2 set on the ceiling, the user needs to operate the DIP switch of the lighting device 2 in a state where the user is on a stepladder or the like, which increases the work time.
 本実施の形態では、設定器3が使用されることによって、照明装置2がユーザによって直接触れられることなく、当該照明装置2に関する設定が実行されることから、上記のような問題が発生することがなく、作業時間を大幅に短くすることができる。よって、作業コストを大幅に低減することができる。さらに、照明装置2においては、ディップスイッチ及びその周辺の回路等が不要となることから、照明装置2単体の材料コストを低減することができる。 In the present embodiment, since the setting device 3 is used, the setting related to the lighting device 2 is performed without the lighting device 2 being directly touched by the user, and thus the above-described problem occurs. The working time can be significantly shortened. Therefore, the work cost can be greatly reduced. Furthermore, in the illuminating device 2, since the dip switch and its peripheral circuits are not necessary, the material cost of the illuminating device 2 alone can be reduced.
 なお、照明装置2に固有の識別情報については、物理アドレス以外であっても良い。また上記の例では、設定器3が照明装置2に設定する設定情報は、PAN IDであったが、他の情報であっても良い。例えば、設定器3が照明装置2に設定する設定情報は、ショートアドレスあるいは無線チャネル情報であっても良い。また、エリアコントローラ5と照明装置2との間の通信が暗号化される場合には、その暗号化で使用される暗号キーが、設定器3が照明装置2に設定する設定情報であっても良い。 Note that the identification information unique to the lighting device 2 may be other than the physical address. In the above example, the setting information set by the setting device 3 in the lighting device 2 is the PAN ID, but may be other information. For example, the setting information set by the setting device 3 in the lighting device 2 may be a short address or wireless channel information. Further, when the communication between the area controller 5 and the lighting device 2 is encrypted, even if the encryption key used for the encryption is the setting information that the setting device 3 sets in the lighting device 2 good.
 また、設定器3が複数種類の設定情報を照明装置2に設定できるようにしても良い。例えば、設定器3がPAN ID及びショートアドレスを照明装置2に設定できるようにしても良いし、PAN ID、ショートアドレス及び無線チャネル情報を照明装置2に設定できるようにしても良い。 Further, the setting device 3 may be configured to set a plurality of types of setting information in the lighting device 2. For example, the setting device 3 may be configured to set the PAN ID and the short address in the lighting device 2, or may be configured to set the PAN ID, the short address, and the wireless channel information in the lighting device 2.
 また、設定画面200の一覧表411には、物理アドレス、PAN ID及び信号強度以外の情報が示されても良い。例えば、ショートアドレス及び無線チャネル情報の少なくとも一つが一覧表411に示されても良い。また、エリアコントローラ5と照明装置2との間の通信が暗号化される場合には、その暗号化で使用される暗号キーが一覧表411に示されても良い。 In addition, the list 411 on the setting screen 200 may indicate information other than the physical address, the PAN ID, and the signal strength. For example, at least one of the short address and the wireless channel information may be displayed in the list 411. In addition, when communication between the area controller 5 and the lighting device 2 is encrypted, the encryption key used for the encryption may be shown in the list 411.
 また上記の例では、一覧表411に示される信号強度は、照明装置2が設定器3から受信した受信信号の信号強度であったが、設定器3が照明装置2から受信した受信信号の信号強度であっても良い。また、照明装置2が設定器3から受信した受信信号の信号強度と、設定器3が照明装置2から受信した受信信号の信号強度との両方が一覧表411に示されても良い。一覧表411に、設定器3が照明装置2から受信した受信信号の信号強度が示される場合には、設定器3では、制御部30が、ステップs13において通信部31が受信する、照明装置情報を含む送信信号のRSSIを、設定器3が照明装置2から受信した受信信号の信号強度として求める。また、制御部30は、ステップs44で通信部31が受信するACK信号のRSSIを、設定器3が照明装置2から受信した受信信号の信号強度として求める。 In the above example, the signal strength shown in the list 411 is the signal strength of the reception signal received by the lighting device 2 from the setting device 3, but the signal of the reception signal received by the setting device 3 from the lighting device 2. It may be strength. In addition, both the signal strength of the reception signal received by the lighting device 2 from the setting device 3 and the signal strength of the reception signal received by the setting device 3 from the lighting device 2 may be shown in the list 411. When the list table 411 indicates the signal strength of the received signal received by the setting device 3 from the lighting device 2, in the setting device 3, the control device 30 receives the lighting device information received by the communication unit 31 in step s13. Is obtained as the signal strength of the received signal received from the lighting device 2 by the setting device 3. Moreover, the control part 30 calculates | requires RSSI of the ACK signal which the communication part 31 receives by step s44 as the signal strength of the received signal which the setting device 3 received from the illuminating device 2. FIG.
 また上記の例では、ユーザによって直接入力されたPAN IDが設定対象の照明装置2に設定されているが、設定器3において、PAN ID等の照明装置2に対する設定情報とエリアコントローラ5とを対応付けておいて、ユーザによって、設定対象の照明装置2を管理するエリアコントローラ5が指定されると、指定されたエリアコントローラ5に対応付けられた設定情報が設定対象の照明装置2に設定されても良い。この場合には、例えば、設定情報入力画面500を利用してユーザが番号等でエリアコントローラ5を指定できるように設定器3を構成する。設定器3は、ユーザが指定したエリアコントローラ5に対応付けられている設定情報を設定対象の照明装置2に送信する。これにより、設定対象の照明装置2では、設定器3を利用してユーザが指定したエリアコントローラ5に対応付けられている設定情報が設定される。 In the above example, the PAN ID directly input by the user is set in the lighting device 2 to be set, but the setting device 3 associates the setting information for the lighting device 2 such as the PAN ID with the area controller 5. In addition, when the area controller 5 that manages the setting target lighting device 2 is specified by the user, the setting information associated with the specified area controller 5 is set in the setting target lighting device 2. Also good. In this case, for example, the setting device 3 is configured so that the user can specify the area controller 5 by a number or the like using the setting information input screen 500. The setting device 3 transmits setting information associated with the area controller 5 designated by the user to the lighting device 2 to be set. Thereby, in the lighting device 2 to be set, setting information associated with the area controller 5 designated by the user using the setting device 3 is set.
 <各種変形例>
 以下に照明システム1の各種変形について説明する。
<Various modifications>
Various modifications of the illumination system 1 will be described below.
 <第1変形例(複数の照明装置の同時選択)>
 上記の例では、上述のステップs22が実行される前においては、設定対象の照明装置2が一つ選択されていたが、設定対象の照明装置2が複数選択されても良い。例えば、ユーザが、一覧表411に含まれる複数の欄に対して順番にタップ操作を行うと、当該複数の欄にそれぞれ対応する複数の照明装置2が設定対象として選択されても良い。図20は、複数の照明装置2が設定対象として選択されている場合の設定画面200の一例を示す図である。図20の例では、物理アドレス「12:34:56:78」の照明装置2と、物理アドレス「12:34:56:79」の照明装置2と、物理アドレス「12:34:56:7A」の照明装置2と、物理アドレス「12:34:56:7B」の照明装置2と、物理アドレス「12:34:56:7C」の照明装置2とが設定対象として選択されている。
<First Modification (simultaneous selection of a plurality of lighting devices)>
In the above example, one setting target lighting device 2 is selected before the above-described step s22 is executed, but a plurality of setting target lighting devices 2 may be selected. For example, when the user performs a tap operation on a plurality of columns included in the list 411 in order, a plurality of lighting devices 2 respectively corresponding to the plurality of columns may be selected as setting targets. FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating an example of a setting screen 200 when a plurality of lighting devices 2 are selected as setting targets. In the example of FIG. 20, the lighting device 2 with the physical address “12: 34: 56: 78”, the lighting device 2 with the physical address “12: 34: 56: 79”, and the physical address “12: 34: 56: 7A”. ", The lighting device 2 with the physical address" 12: 34: 56: 7B ", and the lighting device 2 with the physical address" 12: 34: 56: 7C "are selected as setting targets.
 ステップs21において、タッチパネルディスプレイ35が、一覧表411に含まれる複数の欄のそれぞれに対するタップ操作を受け付けると、ステップs22において、設定器3は、設定対象として選択された複数の照明装置2のそれぞれに対して変更指示信号を送信する。これにより、設定対象の複数の照明装置2のそれぞれが点滅するようになる。 In step s21, when the touch panel display 35 accepts a tap operation for each of the plurality of columns included in the list 411, the setting device 3 applies to each of the plurality of lighting devices 2 selected as setting targets in step s22. In response, a change instruction signal is transmitted. Thereby, each of the some illuminating device 2 of setting object comes to blink.
 ユーザは、複数の照明装置2が設定対象として選択されている場合に、タッチパネルディスプレイ35に対して位置情報指定操作を行う際には、当該複数の照明装置2のそれぞれについて個別に、図14に示されるような、ドラッグアンドドロップに類似した装置図選択操作を行う。設定器3は、設定対象の複数の照明装置2のそれぞれについて、図14に示されるような、ドラッグアンドドロップに類似した装置図選択操作が行われると、当該複数の照明装置2のそれぞれについて、当該照明装置2の物理アドレスと、全体レイアウト情報に含まれる、当該照明装置2の位置を示す照明位置情報との対応付けを行う。複数の照明装置2が設定対象として選択される場合には、当該複数の照明装置2のそれぞれについて個別にステップs31及びs32が実行される。 When the user performs a position information designation operation on the touch panel display 35 when a plurality of lighting devices 2 are selected as setting targets, each of the plurality of lighting devices 2 is individually shown in FIG. A device diagram selection operation similar to drag and drop is performed as shown. When a device diagram selection operation similar to drag and drop is performed on each of the plurality of lighting devices 2 to be set, as illustrated in FIG. 14, the setting device 3 performs the following on each of the plurality of lighting devices 2. The physical address of the lighting device 2 is associated with the lighting position information indicating the position of the lighting device 2 included in the overall layout information. When a plurality of lighting devices 2 are selected as setting targets, steps s31 and s32 are individually executed for each of the plurality of lighting devices 2.
 また、複数の照明装置2が設定対象として選択されている場合に、図10のステップs41において、PAN IDの入力操作がタッチパネルディスプレイ35で受け付けられ、ステップs42において送信ボタン520が選択される操作がタッチパネルディスプレイ35で受け付けられると、設定器3は、ステップs43において、設定対象として選択されている複数の照明装置2のそれぞれに対して、入力されたPAN IDを送信する。これにより、設定対象として選択されている複数の照明装置2のそれぞれに対して、ユーザによって入力された同じPAN IDが設定される。 In addition, when a plurality of lighting devices 2 are selected as setting targets, in step s41 of FIG. 10, an operation for inputting a PAN ID is accepted by the touch panel display 35, and an operation for selecting the transmission button 520 in step s42. When accepted by the touch panel display 35, the setting device 3 transmits the input PAN ID to each of the plurality of lighting devices 2 selected as the setting target in step s43. Accordingly, the same PAN ID input by the user is set for each of the plurality of lighting devices 2 selected as the setting target.
 このように、本変形例では、複数の照明装置2が設定対象として選択されているとき、設定器3の操作部34が設定情報の入力操作を受け付けると、当該複数の照明装置2に対しては共通の設定情報が送信されることから、簡単な操作で、複数の照明装置2に対して同じ設定情報を設定することができる。よって、設定器3の操作性が向上するとともに、複数の照明装置2に対する設定情報の設定に必要な時間が短縮される。 Thus, in this modification, when the operation unit 34 of the setting device 3 accepts an input operation for setting information when a plurality of illumination devices 2 are selected as setting targets, the plurality of illumination devices 2 are selected. Since common setting information is transmitted, the same setting information can be set for a plurality of lighting devices 2 by a simple operation. Therefore, the operability of the setting device 3 is improved and the time required for setting the setting information for the plurality of lighting devices 2 is shortened.
 <第2変形例(対応付け確認画面の表示)>
 設定器3は、上述のステップs32において、設定対象の照明装置2の物理アドレスと、位置情報指定操作が指定されて照明位置情報とを対応付ける場合には、その対応付けを行って良いか否かをユーザに確認するための対応付け確認画面600を表示しても良い。図21は対応付け確認画面600の一例を示す図である。図21に示される対応付け確認画面600には、設定対象の照明装置2の物理アドレスと照明位置情報との対応付けを行うことを指示するための第1指示ボタン610と、設定対象の照明装置2の物理アドレスと照明位置情報との対応付けを行わないことを指示するための第2指示ボタン620とが含まれている。ユーザが第1指示ボタン610をタップ操作するなどして、ユーザが第1指定ボタン610を選択する操作を行うと、設定器3では、制御部30が、設定対象の照明装置2の物理アドレスと照明位置情報との対応付けを行う。一方で、ユーザが第2指示ボタン620をタップ操作するなどして、ユーザが第2指定ボタン620を選択する操作を行うと、設定器3では、制御部30は、設定対象の照明装置2の物理アドレスと照明位置情報との対応付けを行わない。
<Second Modification (Display of Matching Confirmation Screen)>
When the setting device 3 associates the physical address of the lighting device 2 to be set with the position information designating operation and associates the illumination position information with the step s32 described above, the setting device 3 may or may not perform the association. You may display the matching confirmation screen 600 for confirming to a user. FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating an example of the association confirmation screen 600. The association confirmation screen 600 shown in FIG. 21 includes a first instruction button 610 for instructing the association between the physical address of the setting target lighting device 2 and the lighting position information, and the setting target lighting device. And a second instruction button 620 for instructing not to associate the physical address 2 with the illumination position information. When the user performs an operation of selecting the first designation button 610 by, for example, performing a tap operation on the first instruction button 610, in the setting device 3, the control unit 30 causes the physical address of the lighting device 2 to be set to be set. Correlation with illumination position information is performed. On the other hand, when the user performs an operation of selecting the second designation button 620 by, for example, performing a tap operation on the second instruction button 620, in the setting device 3, the control unit 30 causes the lighting device 2 to be set. The physical address is not associated with the illumination position information.
 このように、本変形例では、対応付け確認画面600が表示されることから、ユーザの操作ミスにより、設定対象の照明装置2の物理アドレスに対して、誤った照明位置情報が対応付けられることを抑制することができる。よって、設定対象の照明装置2の物理アドレストと、全体レイアウト情報における、設定対象の照明装置2の位置を示す照明位置情報との対応付けミスが発生することをさらに抑制できる。 As described above, in the present modification, since the association confirmation screen 600 is displayed, incorrect illumination position information is associated with the physical address of the illumination device 2 to be set due to a user operation error. Can be suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to further suppress the occurrence of an association error between the physical address of the setting target lighting device 2 and the illumination position information indicating the position of the setting target lighting device 2 in the overall layout information.
 <第3変形例(設定情報入力画面の一時表示)>
 上記の例では、設定画面200に設定情報入力画面500が常に示されているが、ステップs31においてタッチパネルディスプレイ35が位置情報指定操作を受け付けたときに設定情報入力画面500が一時的に示されても良い。図22は、タッチパネルディスプレイ35が位置情報指定操作を受け付けたときに設定情報入力画面500が表示される様子を示す図である。
<Third Modification (Temporary Display of Setting Information Input Screen)>
In the above example, the setting information input screen 500 is always shown on the setting screen 200. However, when the touch panel display 35 accepts the position information specifying operation in step s31, the setting information input screen 500 is temporarily shown. Also good. FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the setting information input screen 500 is displayed when the touch panel display 35 receives a position information specifying operation.
 設定器3では、ステップs31において、タッチパネルディスプレイ35が位置情報指定操作(装置図選択操作)を受け付けると、制御部30は、ステップs32において、設定対象の照明装置2の物理アドレスと、当該位置情報指定操作によって指定される照明位置情報とを対応付けるとともに、設定情報入力画面500を表示部33に表示させる。設定器3では、ステップs41においてタッチパネルディスプレイ35がPAN IDの入力操作を受け付け、ステップs42においてタッチパネルディスプレイ35が送信ボタン520の選択操作を受け付けると、制御部30は、ステップs43において、通信部31に、入力されたPAN IDを送信させるとともに、表示部33に、設定情報入力画面500の表示を消去させる。以後、照明システム1は同様に動作する。 In the setting device 3, when the touch panel display 35 accepts a position information specifying operation (apparatus diagram selecting operation) in step s31, the control unit 30 in step s32, the physical address of the setting target lighting device 2 and the position information. The lighting position information specified by the specifying operation is associated with the setting information input screen 500 on the display unit 33. In the setting device 3, when the touch panel display 35 accepts a PAN ID input operation in step s41 and the touch panel display 35 accepts a selection operation of the send button 520 in step s42, the control unit 30 causes the communication unit 31 to communicate with the communication unit 31 in step s43. In addition, the input PAN ID is transmitted, and the display of the setting information input screen 500 is deleted on the display unit 33. Thereafter, the lighting system 1 operates in the same manner.
 このように、本変形例では、設定情報入力画面500が必要なときにだけ表示されることから、設定画面200を有効利用することができる。 Thus, in this modification, the setting information input screen 500 is displayed only when necessary, so that the setting screen 200 can be used effectively.
 <第4変形例(照明位置情報と設定情報との対応付け)>
 本変形例では、全体レイアウト情報に含まれる各照明位置情報にPAN IDが予め対応付けられている。そして、位置情報指定操作が行われた際に、当該位置情報指定操作で指定された照明位置情報に対応付けられたPAN IDが設定対象の照明装置2に自動的に送信される。
<4th modification (association of illumination position information and setting information)>
In this modification, a PAN ID is associated in advance with each illumination position information included in the overall layout information. When the position information specifying operation is performed, the PAN ID associated with the illumination position information specified by the position information specifying operation is automatically transmitted to the setting target lighting device 2.
 具体的には、設定器3の記憶部32に記憶される全体レイアウト情報では、各照明位置情報に対してPAN IDが対応付けられている。設定器3では、ステップs31において、タッチパネルディスプレイ35が装置図選択操作を受け付けると、制御部30は、当該装置図選択操作によって選択された照明装置図320に対応する、全体レイアウト情報に含まれる照明位置情報を特定する。そして、制御部30は、特定した照明位置情報と、設定対象の照明装置2の物理アドレスとを対応付けるとともに、特定した照明位置情報に対応付けられているPAN IDを記憶部32から取得する。そして、制御部30は、取得したPAN IDを設定対象の照明装置2に対して通信部31に送信させる。以後、ステップs71以降が同様に実行される。 Specifically, in the overall layout information stored in the storage unit 32 of the setting device 3, a PAN ID is associated with each illumination position information. In setting device 3, when touch panel display 35 accepts a device diagram selection operation in step s31, control unit 30 performs illumination included in the overall layout information corresponding to lighting device diagram 320 selected by the device diagram selection operation. Specify location information. Then, the control unit 30 associates the identified illumination position information with the physical address of the setting target illumination device 2 and acquires the PAN ID associated with the identified illumination position information from the storage unit 32. Then, the control unit 30 causes the communication unit 31 to transmit the acquired PAN ID to the setting target illumination device 2. Thereafter, step s71 and subsequent steps are executed in the same manner.
 このように、本変形例では、全体レイアウト情報に含まれる各照明位置情報には、当該照明位置情報に対応する照明装置2に対する設定情報が対応付けられている。そして、操作部34が受け付けた、照明位置情報を指定する位置情報指定操作に応じて、当該照明位置情報に対応付けられた設定情報が設定対象の照明装置2に送信される。したがって、ユーザは、位置情報指定操作を行うだけで、設定対象の照明装置2の物理アドレスと照明位置情報との対応付けと、設定対象の照明装置2に対する設定情報の設定との両方を設定器3に実行させることができる。よって、ユーザ操作が簡素化され、設定器3の操作性が向上する。 Thus, in this modification, each illumination position information included in the overall layout information is associated with setting information for the illumination device 2 corresponding to the illumination position information. And according to the position information designation | designated operation which designates illumination position information which the operation part 34 received, the setting information matched with the said illumination position information is transmitted to the illuminating device 2 of setting object. Therefore, the user can perform both the association between the physical address of the setting target lighting device 2 and the lighting position information and the setting information setting for the setting target lighting device 2 only by performing the position information specifying operation. 3 can be executed. Therefore, user operation is simplified and the operability of the setting device 3 is improved.
 <第5変形例(信号強度に基づく一覧表のソート)>
 上記の例では、設定画面200に示される一覧表411では、各欄が、物理アドレスの小さいもの順に並んでいたが、図23に示されるように、信号強度が大きいもの順に並んでも良い。つまり、表示部33は、一覧表411に含まれる各欄を、信号強度が大きいもの順に表示しても良い。
<Fifth Modification (Sort Table Based on Signal Strength)>
In the above example, in the list 411 shown on the setting screen 200, the columns are arranged in ascending order of physical addresses. However, as shown in FIG. That is, the display unit 33 may display the columns included in the list 411 in the order of increasing signal strength.
 ここで、照明装置2がユーザに近いものから順に設定対象とされる場合には、ユーザは設定対象の照明装置2を特定し易くなる。したがって、この場合には、照明装置2の物理アドレスと照明位置情報との対応付けミスの発生を抑制することができる。 Here, when the lighting device 2 is set as a setting target in order from the one closest to the user, the user can easily specify the lighting device 2 to be set. Therefore, in this case, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of an association error between the physical address of the illumination device 2 and the illumination position information.
 本例では、一覧表411の各欄が、信号強度が大きいもの順に並ぶため、ユーザは、自身に近いものから順に照明装置2を設定対象として選択し易くなる。よって、ユーザは、設定対象の照明装置2を特定し易くなり、照明装置2の物理アドレスと照明位置情報との対応付けミスの発生を抑制することができる。 In this example, since each column of the list 411 is arranged in descending order of signal strength, the user can easily select the lighting device 2 as a setting target in order from the closest to the user. Therefore, it becomes easy for the user to specify the lighting device 2 to be set, and the occurrence of an association error between the physical address of the lighting device 2 and the lighting position information can be suppressed.
 また上記の例のように、一覧表411に含まれる、設定対象の照明装置に対応する欄が選択されることによって、設定対象の照明装置が選択される場合には、ユーザは、一覧表に含まれる各欄を上から順に選択することによって、自身に近いものから順に照明装置2を設定対象として選択することができる。よって、ユーザは、自身に近いものから順に照明装置2を設定対象としてさらに選択し易くなる。その結果、照明装置2の物理アドレスと照明位置情報との対応付けミスの発生をさらに抑制することができる。 In addition, as in the above example, when the setting target lighting device is selected by selecting the column corresponding to the setting target lighting device included in the list 411, the user enters the list. By selecting each column included in order from the top, it is possible to select the illumination device 2 as a setting target in order from the one closest to itself. Therefore, it becomes easier for the user to select the illumination device 2 as a setting target in order from the closest to the user. As a result, it is possible to further suppress the occurrence of an association error between the physical address of the illumination device 2 and the illumination position information.
 <第6変形例(設定対象の照明装置の自動選択)>
 上記の例では、ユーザによる設定対象選択操作によって、設定対象の照明装置2が選択されていたが、設定器3が設定対象の照明装置2を順に選択しても良い。この場合には、例えば、ステップs14において一覧表411が更新されると、制御部30は、一覧表411に照明装置情報が示される未設定の照明装置2から、設定対象の照明装置2を選択する。そして、制御部30は、ステップs22を実行して、設定対象の照明装置2に対して変更指示信号を通信部31に送信させる。ステップs61以降が同様に実行された後、ステップs45が実行されて一覧表411が更新されると、制御部30は、一覧表411に照明装置情報が示される未設定の照明装置2から、設定対象の照明装置2を選択する。そして、制御部30は、ステップs22を実行して、設定対象の照明装置2に対して変更指示信号を通信部31に送信させる。以後、一覧表411に照明装置情報が示される照明装置2において、未設定の照明装置2が含まれないようになるまで、制御部30は設定対象の照明装置2を選択する。
<Sixth Modification (Automatic Selection of Lighting Device to be Set)>
In the above example, the setting target lighting device 2 has been selected by the setting target selection operation by the user, but the setting device 3 may sequentially select the setting target lighting device 2. In this case, for example, when the list 411 is updated in step s14, the control unit 30 selects the setting target lighting device 2 from the unset lighting devices 2 whose lighting device information is indicated in the list 411. To do. And the control part 30 performs step s22, and transmits the change instruction | indication signal to the communication part 31 with respect to the illuminating device 2 of setting object. After step s61 is executed in the same manner, when step s45 is executed and the list 411 is updated, the control unit 30 sets the setting from the unset lighting device 2 whose lighting device information is shown in the list 411. The target lighting device 2 is selected. And the control part 30 performs step s22, and transmits the change instruction | indication signal to the communication part 31 with respect to the illuminating device 2 of setting object. Thereafter, in the lighting device 2 whose lighting device information is shown in the list 411, the control unit 30 selects the lighting device 2 to be set until the unset lighting device 2 is not included.
 このように、本例では、制御部30が、複数の照明装置2から設定対象の照明装置2を順番に選択する選択部として機能する。したがって、設定器3では、設定対象の照明装置2が自動的に順に選択されるようになる。よって、ユーザ操作が簡素化され、設定器3の操作性が向上する。 Thus, in this example, the control unit 30 functions as a selection unit that sequentially selects the lighting device 2 to be set from the plurality of lighting devices 2. Therefore, the setting device 3 automatically selects the lighting devices 2 to be set in order. Therefore, user operation is simplified and the operability of the setting device 3 is improved.
 なお、制御部30は、複数の照明装置2から設定対象の照明装置2を順番に選択する場合には、設定器3との間の信号強度が大きいもの順に複数の照明装置2から設定対象の照明装置2を順番に選択しても良い。この場合には、ユーザに近いものから順に照明装置2が設定対象とされるため、ユーザは設定対象の照明装置2を特定し易くなる。また、この場合には、上記の第5変形例のように、一覧表411の各欄が、信号強度が大きいもの順に並んでも良い。 In addition, when the control part 30 selects the illuminating device 2 of setting object in order from the several illuminating device 2, the setting object from the some illuminating device 2 in order with a large signal strength between the setting devices 3 is set. You may select the illuminating device 2 in order. In this case, since the lighting device 2 is set as the setting target in order from the closest to the user, the user can easily specify the lighting device 2 to be set. In this case, as in the fifth modified example, the columns of the list 411 may be arranged in descending order of signal strength.
 また、図24に示されるような自動選択ボタン450を設けて、ユーザが当該自動選択ボタン450を選択する操作を行った場合に、制御部30は、複数の照明装置2から設定対象の照明装置2を順番に選択しても良い。この場合には、ユーザは、自動選択ボタン450を選択する操作を行う前は、設定対象選択操作によって、設定対象の照明装置2を選択することができる。ユーザが自動選択ボタン450を選択する操作としては、例えば、自動選択ボタン450に対するタップ操作が採用される。 In addition, when an automatic selection button 450 as illustrated in FIG. 24 is provided and the user performs an operation of selecting the automatic selection button 450, the control unit 30 selects a lighting device to be set from the plurality of lighting devices 2. 2 may be selected in order. In this case, the user can select the setting target lighting device 2 by the setting target selection operation before performing the operation of selecting the automatic selection button 450. As an operation for the user to select the automatic selection button 450, for example, a tap operation on the automatic selection button 450 is employed.
 <第7変形例(未設定台数の表示)>
 設定画面200には、一覧表411に照明装置情報が示される複数の照明装置2に含まれる未設定の照明装置2の台数を示す未設定台数情報460が示されても良い。図25は未設定台数情報460の表示例を示す図である。未設定台数情報460は、例えば、ステップs45での一覧表411の更新時に更新される。
<Seventh Modification (Display of Unset Number)>
The setting screen 200 may include unset number information 460 indicating the number of unset lighting devices 2 included in the plurality of lighting devices 2 whose lighting device information is shown in the list 411. FIG. 25 is a diagram showing a display example of the unset number information 460. The unset number information 460 is updated, for example, when the list 411 is updated in step s45.
 このように、設定画面200に未設定台数情報460が示されることによって、未設定の照明装置2に関する設定の漏れが発生することを抑制することができる。 As described above, when the unset number information 460 is displayed on the setting screen 200, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of setting omission regarding the unset lighting device 2.
 <第8変形例(未設定欄通知マーク)>
 一覧表411が大きく、一覧表411のすべてが一覧表画面410に表示されていない場合には、一覧表411に含まれる未設定欄(未設定の照明装置2の照明装置情報が示される欄)が一覧表画面410に表示されていない状況が発生することがある。この場合には、ユーザが未設定の照明装置2の存在に気付かず、未設定の照明装置2に関する設定が行われない可能性がある。
<Eighth modified example (not-set column notification mark)>
When the list 411 is large and not all of the list 411 is displayed on the list screen 410, an unset column included in the list 411 (a column indicating lighting device information of the unset lighting device 2) May not be displayed on the list screen 410. In this case, there is a possibility that the user does not notice the presence of the unset lighting device 2 and the setting regarding the unset lighting device 2 is not performed.
 そこで、本変形例では、スクロールバー412において、一覧表画面410に表示されていない未設定欄に対応する部分には、当該未設定欄が存在することをユーザに対して通知するための未設定欄通知マーク412bが示される。図26は未設定欄通知マーク412bの表示例を示す図である。図26に示される例では、未設定欄通知マーク412bは、棒状のマークであり、例えば青色で表示される。未設定欄通知マーク412bは、スクロールバー412において、表示スライド用のノブ412aが示される領域以外の領域に示される。 Therefore, in this modification, in the scroll bar 412, an unset for notifying the user that the unset field exists in the part corresponding to the unset field not displayed on the list screen 410. A column notification mark 412b is shown. FIG. 26 is a diagram showing a display example of the unset field notification mark 412b. In the example shown in FIG. 26, the unset field notification mark 412b is a bar-like mark, and is displayed in blue, for example. The unset field notification mark 412b is shown in an area other than the area where the display slide knob 412a is shown in the scroll bar 412.
 このように、未設定欄通知マーク412bがスクロールバー412に示されることによって、ユーザが未設定の照明装置2の存在に気付かない可能性を低減することができる。よって、未設定の照明装置2に関する設定が行われない可能性を低減することができる。 As described above, the unset field notification mark 412b is displayed on the scroll bar 412, so that the possibility that the user does not notice the presence of the unset lighting device 2 can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the setting related to the unset lighting device 2 is not performed.
 <第9変形例(ユーザの向きの表示)>
 本変形例では、設定器3に電子コンパスが搭載されている。設定器3では、制御部30が、電子コンパスの出力信号に基づいて、設定器3を持つユーザの向きを特定する。そして、制御部30は、特定したユーザの向きを示すユーザ向き情報700が示された設定画面200を表示部33に表示させる。
<Ninth Modification (Display of User Orientation)>
In the present modification, an electronic compass is mounted on the setting device 3. In the setting device 3, the control unit 30 specifies the orientation of the user having the setting device 3 based on the output signal of the electronic compass. Then, the control unit 30 causes the display unit 33 to display the setting screen 200 on which the user orientation information 700 indicating the identified user orientation is displayed.
 図27はユーザ向き情報700の表示例を示す図である。図27に示されるユーザ向き情報700では、人の図形が使用されてユーザの向きが示されている。なお、ユーザ向き情報700は、ユーザの向きを示す矢印等であっても良い。図27に示されるように、設定画面200には、ユーザ向き情報700とともに、レイアウト図310での方位を示す図形710が示されても良い。図27の例では、設定器3を持つユーザは西側を向いている。 FIG. 27 is a view showing a display example of the user orientation information 700. In the user orientation information 700 shown in FIG. 27, a human figure is used to indicate the user orientation. The user orientation information 700 may be an arrow indicating the user orientation. As illustrated in FIG. 27, the setting screen 200 may include a graphic 710 indicating the orientation in the layout diagram 310 along with the user orientation information 700. In the example of FIG. 27, the user having the setting device 3 is facing west.
 このように、本変形例に係る設定画面200では、レイアウト図310とともにユーザ向き情報700が示されることから、ユーザは設定対象の照明装置2を特定しやすくなる。よって、設定対象の照明装置2の物理アドレスと照明位置情報との対応付けミスが発生することをさらに抑制することができる。 Thus, since the user orientation information 700 is displayed together with the layout diagram 310 on the setting screen 200 according to this modification, the user can easily specify the lighting device 2 to be set. Therefore, it is possible to further suppress the occurrence of an association error between the physical address of the setting target illumination device 2 and the illumination position information.
 <第10変形例(グループIDの設定)>
 本変形例では、エリアコントローラ5が、自身が属するエリアネットワークに属する複数の照明装置2とグループ単位で通信することが可能な場合での照明システム1の動作について説明する。
<10th modification (setting of group ID)>
In the present modification, the operation of the lighting system 1 when the area controller 5 can communicate with a plurality of lighting devices 2 belonging to the area network to which the area controller 5 belongs in groups will be described.
 本変形例では、設定器3が、エリアコントローラ5がグループ単位で照明装置2と通信するために必要なグループIDを照明装置2に設定する。ユーザは設定画面200を使用して照明装置2に対してグループIDを設定器3に設定させることができる。 In this modification, the setting device 3 sets a group ID necessary for the area controller 5 to communicate with the lighting device 2 in units of groups in the lighting device 2. The user can use the setting screen 200 to set the group ID to the setting device 3 for the lighting device 2.
 図28は本変形例に係る設定画面200を示す図である。図28に示されるように、本変形例に係る設定画面200に含まれる設定情報入力画面500には、PAN ID入力画面510と、グループID入力画面530とが含まれている。ユーザは、グループID入力画面530を利用して、照明装置2に設定するグループIDを設定器3に入力することができる。 FIG. 28 is a diagram showing a setting screen 200 according to this modification. As shown in FIG. 28, the setting information input screen 500 included in the setting screen 200 according to the present modification includes a PAN ID input screen 510 and a group ID input screen 530. The user can input a group ID to be set in the lighting device 2 to the setting device 3 using the group ID input screen 530.
 グループID入力画面530には、「グループID」という文字列が示される文字列画面531と、ユーザが入力したグループIDが示される入力ID表示画面532とが含まれる。ユーザは、入力ID表示画面532を利用してグループIDの入力操作を行う。具体的には、ユーザは、まず、入力ID表示画面532を選択する操作を行う。そうすると、例えば、設定情報入力画面500の上に、複数種類のグループIDの一覧が表示される。ユーザは、その一覧から入力すべきグループIDを選択する操作を行う。ユーザによって選択されたグループIDは、入力ID表示画面532に示される。入力ID表示画面532を選択する操作としては、例えば、入力ID表示画面532に対するタップ操作が採用される。また、グループIDの一覧から入力すべきグループIDを選択する操作としては、当該グループIDが表示されている部分に対するタップ操作が採用される。 The group ID input screen 530 includes a character string screen 531 showing a character string “group ID” and an input ID display screen 532 showing a group ID input by the user. The user performs a group ID input operation using the input ID display screen 532. Specifically, the user first performs an operation of selecting the input ID display screen 532. Then, for example, a list of a plurality of types of group IDs is displayed on the setting information input screen 500. The user performs an operation of selecting a group ID to be input from the list. The group ID selected by the user is shown on the input ID display screen 532. As an operation for selecting the input ID display screen 532, for example, a tap operation on the input ID display screen 532 is employed. In addition, as an operation for selecting a group ID to be input from the list of group IDs, a tap operation for a portion where the group ID is displayed is employed.
 一つのエリアネットワークに含まれる各照明装置2は、例えば最大で16グループに属することができる。各照明装置2は、一つのグループに属するだけではなく、複数のグループに属することが可能である。また各照明装置2は、どのグループにも属さないことも可能である。本変形例では、グループIDの種類は“1”~“16”の16種類定められている。 Each lighting device 2 included in one area network can belong to, for example, a maximum of 16 groups. Each lighting device 2 can belong not only to one group but also to a plurality of groups. Each lighting device 2 may not belong to any group. In this modification, 16 types of group IDs “1” to “16” are defined.
 次に設定器3が照明装置2に対してグループIDを設定する際の本変形例に係る照明システム1の動作について説明する。上述のステップs32が実行された後、ユーザは、タッチパネルディスプレイ35に対して、PAN IDの入力操作を行うとともに、グループIDの入力操作を行う。設定器3では、ステップs41において、タッチパネルディスプレイ35が、PAN IDの入力操作と、グループIDの入力操作とを受け付けると、表示部33は、入力されたPAN IDを入力ID表示画面512に示し、入力されたグループIDを入力ID表示画面532に示す。図29はその様子を示す図である。 Next, the operation of the lighting system 1 according to this modification when the setting device 3 sets a group ID for the lighting device 2 will be described. After the above step s32 is executed, the user performs a PAN ID input operation and a group ID input operation on the touch panel display 35. In the setting device 3, when the touch panel display 35 accepts a PAN ID input operation and a group ID input operation in step s 41, the display unit 33 displays the input PAN ID on the input ID display screen 512. The input group ID is displayed on the input ID display screen 532. FIG. 29 is a diagram showing this state.
 ステップs41の後、ステップs42においてタッチパネルディスプレイ35が送信ボタン520の選択操作を受け付けると、制御部30は、ステップs43において、入力されたPAN ID及びグループIDと、設定対象の照明装置2の物理アドレスとを含む送信信号を通信部31に送信させる。また、制御部30は、入力されたPAN IDと設定対象の照明装置2の物理アドレスとを対応付けて、その対応付けを示すID対応付け情報(本変形例では「第1のID対応付け情報」と呼ぶ)を記憶部32に記憶する。さらに、制御部30は、入力されたグループIDと設定対象の照明装置2の物理アドレスとを対応付けて、その対応付けを示す第2のID対応付け情報を記憶部32に記憶する。 After step s41, when the touch panel display 35 accepts the selection operation of the transmission button 520 in step s42, the control unit 30 inputs the PAN ID and group ID input in step s43 and the physical address of the lighting device 2 to be set. To the communication unit 31. Further, the control unit 30 associates the input PAN ID with the physical address of the lighting device 2 to be set, and ID association information indicating the association (in this modification example, “first ID association information”). Is stored in the storage unit 32. Furthermore, the control unit 30 associates the input group ID with the physical address of the lighting device 2 to be set, and stores second ID association information indicating the association in the storage unit 32.
 ステップs71において、設定器3からの送信信号を通信部21で受信した照明装置2では、制御部20が、当該送信信号に含まれる物理アドレスと、自身の物理アドレスとを比較する。制御部20は、両者が一致しないときには、通信部21が受信した送信信号は自分宛ての信号ではないと判断して、当該送信信号に含まれるPAN ID及びグループIDを破棄する。一方で、制御部20は、両者が一致するときには、通信部21が受信した送信信号は自分宛ての信号であると判断して、照明器具24の点灯状態の変更を解除する(ステップs72)。そして、制御部20は、ステップs73において、通信部21が受信した自分宛ての送信信号に含まれるPAN ID及びグループIDを、記憶部22の設定レジスタに書き込む。これにより、設定対象の照明装置2に対してPAN ID及びグループIDが設定される。その後、ステップs74が実行され、以後同様に照明システム1は動作する。 In step s71, in the lighting device 2 that has received the transmission signal from the setting device 3 by the communication unit 21, the control unit 20 compares the physical address included in the transmission signal with its own physical address. When the two do not match, the control unit 20 determines that the transmission signal received by the communication unit 21 is not a signal addressed to itself, and discards the PAN ID and group ID included in the transmission signal. On the other hand, when both match, the control unit 20 determines that the transmission signal received by the communication unit 21 is a signal addressed to itself, and cancels the change in the lighting state of the lighting fixture 24 (step s72). In step s 73, the control unit 20 writes the PAN ID and group ID included in the transmission signal addressed to itself received by the communication unit 21 in the setting register of the storage unit 22. Thereby, PAN ID and group ID are set with respect to the illuminating device 2 of setting object. Thereafter, step s74 is executed, and thereafter the lighting system 1 operates in the same manner.
 ユーザは、部屋120に存在するすべての照明装置2に関する設定が完了すると、部屋120に存在する各照明装置2を管理するエリアコントローラ5と、設定器3とが通信できるように、当該設定器3を所持して移動する。そして、ユーザは、設定器3を操作して、設定器3に、部屋120に存在する各照明装置2に関する第1のID対応付け情報を、当該照明装置3を管理するエリアコントローラ5に送信させる。これにより、部屋120に存在する各照明装置2を管理するエリアコントローラ5は、部屋120に存在する各照明装置2に設定されたPAN IDを知ることができる。 When the setting for all the lighting devices 2 existing in the room 120 is completed, the user can communicate with the setting device 3 so that the area controller 5 managing each lighting device 2 existing in the room 120 and the setting device 3 can communicate with each other. Move in possession of. Then, the user operates the setting device 3 to cause the setting device 3 to transmit the first ID association information regarding each lighting device 2 existing in the room 120 to the area controller 5 that manages the lighting device 3. . Thereby, the area controller 5 that manages each lighting device 2 existing in the room 120 can know the PAN ID set in each lighting device 2 existing in the room 120.
 また、設定器3で生成された第2のID対応付け情報は、設定器3で生成された位置対応付け情報とともに統合コントローラ6に入力される。統合コントローラ6に接続された設定器3に対して所定の操作が行われると、設定器3は、各照明装置2についての第2のID対応付け情報及び位置対応付け情報を統合コントローラ6に送信する。統合コントローラ6は、設定器3から受信した第2のID対応付け情報及び位置対応付けを記憶部64に記憶する。これにより、統合コントローラ6は、各エリアネットワークにおいて、複数の照明装置2がどのようにグループ分けされているかを特定することができる。よって、統合コントローラ6は、エリアコントローラ5に対してグループIDを指定することによって、グループ単位の照明装置2の制御が可能となる。 Also, the second ID association information generated by the setting device 3 is input to the integrated controller 6 together with the position association information generated by the setting device 3. When a predetermined operation is performed on the setting device 3 connected to the integrated controller 6, the setting device 3 transmits the second ID association information and the position association information for each lighting device 2 to the integrated controller 6. To do. The integrated controller 6 stores the second ID association information and the position association received from the setting device 3 in the storage unit 64. Thereby, the integrated controller 6 can specify how the some illuminating device 2 is grouped in each area network. Therefore, the integrated controller 6 can control the lighting device 2 in units of groups by designating the group ID to the area controller 5.
 なお、ビル管理コントローラが位置対応関係情報を管理する場合には、設定器3が生成した位置対応付け情報及び第2のID対応付け情報は、統合コントローラ6ではなくビル管理コントローラに入力される。このとき、設定器3とビル管理コントローラとを直接接続して、設定器3からビル管理コントローラに位置対応付け情報及び第2のID対応付け情報が入力されて良い。あるいは、設定器3と通信可能なエリアコントローラ5及び統合コントローラ6を介して、設定器3から位置対応付け情報及び第2のID対応付け情報がビル管理コントローラに入力されても良い。 When the building management controller manages the position correspondence information, the position association information and the second ID association information generated by the setting device 3 are input to the building management controller instead of the integrated controller 6. At this time, the setting device 3 and the building management controller may be directly connected, and the position association information and the second ID association information may be input from the setting device 3 to the building management controller. Alternatively, the location association information and the second ID association information may be input from the setting device 3 to the building management controller via the area controller 5 and the integrated controller 6 that can communicate with the setting device 3.
 各エリアコントローラ5は、自身が属するエリアネットワークでのあるグループの複数の照明装置2に対して所定の情報を送信する際には、当該所定の情報と、当該エリアネットワークのPAN IDと、当該あるグループのグループIDとを含む送信信号を通信部51に送信させる。 When each area controller 5 transmits predetermined information to a plurality of lighting devices 2 of a group in the area network to which the area controller 5 belongs, the predetermined information, the PAN ID of the area network, and the certain information A transmission signal including the group ID of the group is transmitted to the communication unit 51.
 照明装置2では、通信部21が受信するエリアコントローラ5からの信号に含まれるPAN ID及びグループIDと、設定レジスタに記憶されるPAN ID及びグループIDとを制御部20がそれぞれ比較する。制御部20は、エリアコントローラ5からのPAN IDと設定レジスタ内のPAN IDとが一致し、かつエリアコントローラ5からのグループIDと、設定レジスタ内のグループIDとが一致する場合には、エリアコントローラ5からの信号が自身宛ての信号であると判定して、当該信号に含まれる所定の情報に応じた処理を行う。それ以外の場合には、制御部20は、エリアコントローラ5からの信号が自身宛ての信号でないと判定して、当該信号に含まれる所定の情報を破棄する。 In the lighting device 2, the control unit 20 compares the PAN ID and group ID included in the signal from the area controller 5 received by the communication unit 21 with the PAN ID and group ID stored in the setting register. When the PAN ID from the area controller 5 matches the PAN ID in the setting register, and the group ID from the area controller 5 matches the group ID in the setting register, the control unit 20 5 determines that the signal from 5 is a signal addressed to itself, and performs processing according to predetermined information included in the signal. In other cases, the control unit 20 determines that the signal from the area controller 5 is not a signal addressed to itself, and discards predetermined information included in the signal.
 このように、エリアコントローラ5は、グループIDを使用してグループ単位で照明装置2と通信することができる。 Thus, the area controller 5 can communicate with the lighting device 2 in units of groups using the group ID.
 なお、一覧表411の各欄には、それに対応する照明装置2のグループIDが示されても良い。また、第1変形例のように、複数の照明装置2が設定対象として選択されているとき、タッチパネルディスプレイ35がPAN ID及びグループIDの入力操作を受け付けると、当該複数の照明装置2に対して共通のPAN ID及びグループIDが設定されても良い。 Note that each column of the list 411 may indicate a group ID of the lighting device 2 corresponding to the column. Further, as in the first modification example, when the touch panel display 35 receives an input operation of a PAN ID and a group ID when a plurality of lighting devices 2 are selected as setting targets, the plurality of lighting devices 2 are selected. A common PAN ID and group ID may be set.
 また、第3変形例のように、タッチパネルディスプレイ35が位置情報指定操作を受け付けたときに、本変形例に係る設定情報入力画面500が表示されても良い。 Further, as in the third modification, when the touch panel display 35 receives a position information specifying operation, the setting information input screen 500 according to this modification may be displayed.
 また、第4変形例のように、全体レイアウト情報に含まれる各照明位置情報に対して、当該照明位置情報に対応する照明装置2に設定するPAN ID及びグループIDが対応付けられ、タッチパネルディスプレイ35が受け付けた、照明位置情報を指定する位置情報指定操作に応じて、当該照明位置情報に対応付けられたPAN ID及びグループIDが設定対象の照明装置2に設定されても良い。 Further, as in the fourth modified example, each illumination position information included in the overall layout information is associated with a PAN ID and a group ID set in the illumination device 2 corresponding to the illumination position information, and the touch panel display 35 The PAN ID and group ID associated with the illumination position information may be set in the setting target illumination device 2 in accordance with the position information designation operation for designating the illumination position information received by the user.
 <第11変形例(エリアコントローラの通信状態確認)>
 本変形例では、設定器3を利用した、エリアコントローラ5の通信状態の確認方法について説明する。
<Eleventh Modification (Confirmation of Communication Status of Area Controller)>
In this modification, a method for confirming the communication state of the area controller 5 using the setting device 3 will be described.
 本変形例では、図30に示されるように、ユーザ100は、エリアコントローラ5の周辺で設定器3を使用する。つまり、設定器3を所持したユーザ100は、エリアコントローラ5の周辺(近傍)で設定器3を操作する。そして、本変形例では、エリアコントローラ5の送信電力と、設定器3の送信電力とが同一とされている。 In this modification, the user 100 uses the setting device 3 around the area controller 5 as shown in FIG. That is, the user 100 having the setting device 3 operates the setting device 3 around (near) the area controller 5. In this modification, the transmission power of the area controller 5 and the transmission power of the setting device 3 are the same.
 エリアコントローラ5の周辺に位置するユーザが、設定器3に表示される設定画面200の出力要求ボタン420を選択する操作をタッチパネルディスプレイ35に対して行うと、照明システム1では、上述のステップs11,s12,s51,s52,s13,14と同様の処理が実行されて、一覧表411が更新される。その結果、上述の図11等に示されるように、一覧表411には、設定器3が通信可能な各照明装置2についての信号強度が示される。ユーザは、一覧表411に示される信号強度に基づいて、エリアコントローラ5についての照明装置2との間の通信状態が良好か否かを判断する。 When the user located in the vicinity of the area controller 5 performs an operation for selecting the output request button 420 on the setting screen 200 displayed on the setting device 3 on the touch panel display 35, in the lighting system 1, the above-described steps s11, Processing similar to s12, s51, s52, s13, and 14 is executed, and the list 411 is updated. As a result, as shown in FIG. 11 and the like described above, the list 411 shows the signal strength for each lighting device 2 with which the setting device 3 can communicate. Based on the signal strengths shown in the list 411, the user determines whether or not the communication state between the area controller 5 and the lighting device 2 is good.
 ここで、本変形例では、設定器3はエリアコントローラ5の周辺で使用され、エリアコントローラ5の送信電力と、設定器3の送信電力とが同一とされている。したがって、設定器3についての照明装置2との間の通信状態は、エリアコントローラ5についての照明装置2との間の通信状態であると見なすことができる。よって、ユーザは、一覧表411に示される信号強度に基づいて、エリアコントローラ5についての照明装置2との間の通信状態が良好か否かを判断することができる。 Here, in this modification, the setting device 3 is used in the vicinity of the area controller 5, and the transmission power of the area controller 5 and the transmission power of the setting device 3 are the same. Therefore, the communication state between the setting device 3 and the lighting device 2 can be regarded as the communication state between the area controller 5 and the lighting device 2. Therefore, the user can determine whether or not the communication state between the area controller 5 and the lighting device 2 is good based on the signal strengths shown in the list 411.
 具体的には、ユーザは、一覧表411に示される各信号強度を確認し、しきい値よりも小さい信号強度が一覧表411に示されている場合には、エリアコントローラ5についての照明装置2との間の通信状態が良好ではないと判断する。この場合には、ユーザは、照明装置2との間の通信状態が良くなるように、エリアコントローラ5の設置場所を変更したり、エリアコントローラ5のアンテナ51aの位置を変更したりする。また、場合によっては、ユーザは、エリアコントローラ5の追加を検討する。一方で、ユーザは、一覧表411に示される各信号強度がしきい値以上の場合には、エリアコントローラ5についての照明装置2との間の通信状態が良好であると判断する。 Specifically, the user checks each signal intensity shown in the list 411, and when the signal intensity smaller than the threshold value is shown in the list 411, the lighting device 2 for the area controller 5 It is determined that the communication state between the two is not good. In this case, the user changes the installation location of the area controller 5 or changes the position of the antenna 51a of the area controller 5 so that the communication state with the lighting device 2 is improved. In some cases, the user may consider adding an area controller 5. On the other hand, when each signal intensity shown in the list 411 is equal to or greater than the threshold value, the user determines that the communication state between the area controller 5 and the lighting device 2 is good.
 ユーザは、エリアコントローラ5の設置場所を変更したり、エリアコントローラ5のアンテナ51aの位置を変更したりした場合には、再度、エリアコントローラ5の周辺で設定器3を操作して、設定器3に一覧表411を更新させる。そして、ユーザは、一覧表411に示される各信号強度に基づいて、再度、エリアコントローラ5についての照明装置2との間の通信状態が良好か否かを判断する。 When the user changes the installation location of the area controller 5 or changes the position of the antenna 51 a of the area controller 5, the user operates the setting device 3 around the area controller 5 again to set the setting device 3. The list 411 is updated. Then, the user again determines whether or not the communication state between the area controller 5 and the lighting device 2 is good based on the signal strengths shown in the list 411.
 上述のような、エリアコントローラ5の通信状態の確認については、図9,10に示される照明装置設定処理の実行とは別に独立して実行されて良い。例えば、エリアコントローラ5の通信状態の確認は、照明装置設定処理が実行される前に実行されて良い。 The confirmation of the communication state of the area controller 5 as described above may be performed independently of the execution of the lighting device setting process shown in FIGS. For example, the confirmation of the communication state of the area controller 5 may be executed before the lighting device setting process is executed.
 また、エリアコントローラ5の通信状態の確認については、照明装置設定処理の実行中に実行されても良い。この場合には、ユーザは、上述のステップs14が実行されて一覧表411が更新された後に、一覧表411に示される信号強度に基づいて、エリアコントローラ5についての照明装置2との間の通信状態が良好か否かを判断する。ユーザは、エリアコントローラ5についての照明装置2との間の通信状態が良好でないと判断すると、エリアコントローラ5の設置場所を変更したり、エリアコントローラ5のアンテナ51aの位置を変更したりする。その後、ユーザは、エリアコントローラ5の周辺で、設定器3の出力要求ボタン420を選択する操作を再度タッチパネルディスプレイ35に対して行う。これにより、照明システム1では、ステップs11以降が実行される。そして、ステップs14が実行されると、ユーザは、再度、一覧表411に示される信号強度に基づいて、エリアコントローラ5についての照明装置2との間の通信状態が良好か否かを判断する。 Further, the confirmation of the communication state of the area controller 5 may be performed during the execution of the lighting device setting process. In this case, after the step s14 is executed and the list 411 is updated, the user communicates with the lighting device 2 about the area controller 5 based on the signal strengths shown in the list 411. Determine if the condition is good. When the user determines that the communication state between the area controller 5 and the lighting device 2 is not good, the user changes the installation location of the area controller 5 or changes the position of the antenna 51 a of the area controller 5. Thereafter, the user performs an operation for selecting the output request button 420 of the setting device 3 on the touch panel display 35 around the area controller 5 again. Thereby, in the illumination system 1, step s11 and subsequent steps are executed. When step s14 is executed, the user again determines whether or not the communication state between the area controller 5 and the lighting device 2 is good based on the signal strengths shown in the list 411.
 ユーザは、エリアコントローラ5についての照明装置2との間の通信状態が良好と判断できるまで、エリアコントローラ5の設置場所の変更等と、出力要求ボタン420を選択する操作と、エリアコントローラ5についての照明装置2との間の通信状態が良好か否かの判断とを繰り返す。そして、ユーザは、エリアコントローラ5についての照明装置2との間の通信状態が良好であると判断すると、設定対象選択操作をタッチパネルディスプレイ35に行う。これにより、照明システム1では、上述のステップs21以降が実行され、設定対象の照明装置2に関する設定が行われる。 The user changes the installation location of the area controller 5, the operation of selecting the output request button 420, and the area controller 5 until it can be determined that the communication state of the area controller 5 with the lighting device 2 is good. The determination as to whether the communication state with the lighting device 2 is good is repeated. When the user determines that the communication state between the area controller 5 and the lighting device 2 is good, the user performs a setting target selection operation on the touch panel display 35. Thereby, in the illumination system 1, the above-mentioned step s21 and subsequent steps are executed, and the setting related to the setting target illumination device 2 is performed.
 このように、ユーザは、設定器3を利用して、エリアコントローラ5の通信状態を確認することができることから、エリアコントローラ5を制御することなく、簡単にエリアコントローラ5の通信状態を確認することができる。 Thus, since the user can check the communication state of the area controller 5 using the setting device 3, the user can easily check the communication state of the area controller 5 without controlling the area controller 5. Can do.
 なお、しきい値よりも小さい信号強度が一覧表411に示される場合には、表示部33は、設定画面200において、その旨を通知する表示を行っても良い。例えば、一覧表411において、しきい値よりも小さい信号強度が示される欄を赤色で示すなどによって、当該欄の表示態様を、しきい値以上の信号強度が示される欄の表示態様と異なるようにしても良い。 In addition, when the signal strength smaller than the threshold value is shown in the list 411, the display unit 33 may perform a display notifying that on the setting screen 200. For example, in the list 411, the display mode of the column is indicated to be different from the display mode of the column in which the signal intensity equal to or higher than the threshold value is indicated by, for example, red indicating the column in which the signal intensity is lower than the threshold value. Anyway.
 <第12変形例(点灯状態の変更の解除タイミングの変形例その1)>
 上記の例では、設定対象の照明装置2は、自分宛てのPAN IDを受信したときに(ステップs71)点灯状態の変更を解除したが(ステップs72)、点灯状態を変更してから(ステップs62)所定時間経過した後に、点灯状態の変更を解除しても良い。例えば、設定対象の照明装置2では、制御部20が、照明器具24の点灯状態の変更からの経過時間を計測し、当該経過時間がしきい値以上となると、照明器具24の点灯状態の変更を解除する。この経過時間は、例えば、ユーザが、設定対象選択操作を行ってから、点灯状態が変更された照明装置2(設定対象の照明装置2)を特定するまでに最低限必要な時間、例えば数秒程度に設定される。
<Twelfth Modification (Modification Example 1 of Release Timing of Change of Lighting State)>
In the above example, the lighting device 2 to be set releases the change of the lighting state when receiving the PAN ID addressed to itself (step s71) (step s72), but after changing the lighting state (step s62). ) The change of the lighting state may be canceled after a predetermined time has elapsed. For example, in the lighting device 2 to be set, the control unit 20 measures the elapsed time from the change in the lighting state of the lighting fixture 24, and when the elapsed time becomes equal to or greater than the threshold value, the lighting state of the lighting fixture 24 is changed. Is released. This elapsed time is, for example, the minimum time required for the user to specify the lighting device 2 whose lighting state has been changed (the lighting device 2 to be set) after performing the setting target selection operation, for example, about several seconds. Set to
 このように、設定対象の照明装置2が、点灯状態を変更してから数秒程度経過した後に点灯状態の変更を解除する場合には、ステップs31が実行される前に、つまりユーザが位置情報指定操作をタッチパネルディスプレイ35に行う前に、設定対象の照明装置2の点灯状態が元に戻ることになる。よって、本変形例では、設定器3が、設定対象の照明装置2の物理アドレスと照明位置情報とを対応付ける前に、設定対象の照明装置2の点灯状態が元に戻る。このような場合であっても、ユーザは、設定対象の照明装置2を特定し易くなることから、照明装置2の物理アドレスと照明位置情報との対応付けミスが発生することを抑制することができる。 Thus, when the lighting device 2 to be set cancels the change of the lighting state after a few seconds have passed since the lighting state was changed, before the step s31 is executed, that is, the user specifies the position information. Before the operation is performed on the touch panel display 35, the lighting state of the setting target illumination device 2 is restored. Therefore, in this modified example, before the setting device 3 associates the physical address of the setting target lighting device 2 with the lighting position information, the lighting state of the setting target lighting device 2 is restored. Even in such a case, since it becomes easy for the user to specify the illumination device 2 to be set, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of an association error between the physical address of the illumination device 2 and the illumination position information. it can.
 <第13変形例(点灯状態の変更の解除タイミングの変形例その2)>
 本変形例に係る設定器3では、設定対象の照明装置2に対して点灯状態の変更の解除を指示した後に、ユーザからの位置情報指定操作を受け付けるようになっている。
<Thirteenth Modification (Modification Example 2 for Canceling Change of Lighting State)>
In the setting device 3 according to the present modification, after instructing the lighting device 2 to be set to cancel the change of the lighting state, a position information specifying operation from the user is accepted.
 図31は本変形例に係る設定画面200を示す図である。図31に示されるように、本変形例に係る設定画面200に含まれる一覧表画面410には、設定対象の照明装置2に対して、点灯状態の変更の解除を指示するための変更解除ボタン800が示されている。ユーザによって変更解除ボタン800を選択する操作がタッチパネルディスプレイ35に行われると、制御部30は、設定対象の照明装置2に対して点灯状態の変更の解除を指示する変更解除信号を生成して、それを通信部31に送信させる。変更解除ボタン800を選択する操作としては、変更解除ボタン800に対するタップ操作が採用される。 FIG. 31 is a diagram showing a setting screen 200 according to this modification. As shown in FIG. 31, the list screen 410 included in the setting screen 200 according to the present modification has a change cancel button for instructing the lighting device 2 to be set to cancel the change of the lighting state. 800 is shown. When an operation for selecting the change release button 800 is performed on the touch panel display 35 by the user, the control unit 30 generates a change release signal that instructs the setting target lighting device 2 to release the change of the lighting state, It is transmitted to the communication unit 31. As an operation for selecting the change release button 800, a tap operation on the change release button 800 is employed.
 次に本変形例に係る照明システム1の動作について説明する。上述のステップs11~ステップs62が実行されて、設定対象の照明装置2の点灯状態が変更されると、ユーザは、点灯状態が変更された設定対象の照明装置2(点滅状態の照明装置2)を特定する。その後、ユーザは、変更解除ボタン800を選択する操作をタッチパネルディスプレイ35に行う。設定器3では、タッチパネルディスプレイ35が当該操作を受け付けると、制御部30は、設定対象の物理アドレスを含む変更解除信号を生成して、それを通信部31に送信させる。 Next, the operation of the illumination system 1 according to this modification will be described. When the above-described steps s11 to s62 are executed and the lighting state of the setting target lighting device 2 is changed, the user changes the lighting state of the setting target lighting device 2 whose lighting state has been changed (the lighting device 2 in the blinking state). Is identified. Thereafter, the user performs an operation for selecting the change cancel button 800 on the touch panel display 35. In the setting device 3, when the touch panel display 35 accepts the operation, the control unit 30 generates a change release signal including a physical address to be set and transmits the change release signal to the communication unit 31.
 設定対象の照明装置2では、制御部20は、通信部21が受信した変更解除信号に含まれる物理アドレスと自身の物理アドレストが一致すると、照明器具24の点灯状態の変更を解除する。その後、上述のステップs31が実行され、タッチパネルディスプレイ35が位置情報指定操作を受け付けると、ステップs32以降が同様に実行される。 In the lighting device 2 to be set, the control unit 20 cancels the change of the lighting state of the lighting fixture 24 when the physical address included in the change cancellation signal received by the communication unit 21 matches its own physical address. Thereafter, the above-described step s31 is executed, and when the touch panel display 35 accepts the position information specifying operation, the steps after step s32 are executed in the same manner.
 本変形例に係る設定器3では、設定対象の照明装置2に対して変更解除信号が送信されるまでは、タッチパネルディスプレイ35は、ユーザの位置情報指定操作を受け付けないようになっている。したがって、本変形例では、上記の第12変形例と同様に、設定器3が、設定対象の照明装置2の物理アドレスと照明位置情報とを対応付ける前に、設定対象の照明装置2の点灯状態が元に戻る。このような場合であっても、ユーザは、設定対象の照明装置2を特定し易くなることから、照明装置2の物理アドレスと照明位置情報との対応付けミスが発生することを抑制することができる。 In the setting device 3 according to this modification, the touch panel display 35 does not accept the user's position information specifying operation until a change release signal is transmitted to the lighting device 2 to be set. Therefore, in the present modification, as in the above-described twelfth modification, the setting device 3 illuminates the setting target lighting device 2 before associating the physical address of the setting target lighting device 2 with the illumination position information. Is restored. Even in such a case, since it becomes easy for the user to specify the illumination device 2 to be set, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of an association error between the physical address of the illumination device 2 and the illumination position information. it can.
 以上のように、照明システム1は詳細に説明されたが、上記した説明は、全ての局面において例示であって、この発明がそれに限定されるものではない。また、上述した各種変形例は、相互に矛盾しない限り組み合わせて適用可能である。そして、例示されていない無数の変形例が、この発明の範囲から外れることなく想定され得るものと解される。 As mentioned above, although the illumination system 1 was demonstrated in detail, above-described description is an illustration in all the situation, Comprising: This invention is not limited to it. The various modifications described above can be applied in combination as long as they do not contradict each other. And it is understood that the countless modification which is not illustrated can be assumed without deviating from the scope of the present invention.
