Light Interface – Digital and Analog

DALI – DSI – Analog – Touch / Push – DMX and more …

The lighting industry has undergone the far-reaching technological change of recent years – LED technology is now the standard. Current challenges arise from the light source and the increasing complexity of the electronics used.

Modern electronic control units (ECGs/ECGs/LED drivers) have a variety of interfaces and support different protocols for lighting control. This significantly increases the requirements for flexible, reproducible and expandable test scenarios in luminaire production.

In addition to the classic safety and functional tests, our "all-in-one" testers of the latest generation perform numerous additional tasks that go far beyond the range of functions of conventional luminaire testers:

Safety Tests
Function tests
Dimming functions via
- analog
- Buttons (touch)
- DALI, DSI, DMX, Casambi and others
Camera evaluations, e.g. brightness and light color
Parameterization of ECGs/ECGs/LED Drivers
Flashing ECGs/ECGs/LED Drivers

From the selection of test equipment to the optimal adaptation of the power and interface terminals to the complete test setup or complete test system, SCHLEICH offers tailor-made solutions for reliable, economical and future-proof testing of your luminaire products.

For these tasks, SCHLEICH offers efficient and cost-effective solutions.

In addition to the proven safety and function test significantly focuses on communication with the luminaire.

Interface Communication

DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface)
- Reading of the EVG/ECG/LED driver data such as version of the software etc.
- Writing and reading out of OEM data, such as luminaire serial number, order etc.
DSI (Digital Signal Interface)
DMX (Digital Multiplex)
Casambi
Matter over Thread, Homematic, Shelly, KNX and more...
Analog
Touch / Push
Cost savings:
safety-, function and interface communication directly via a test device! Full integration of interface communication into the test sequence.
No additional components, programming adapters or additional PC required!

Parameterization of the ECGs / ECGs / LED drivers

Parameter transmission for individual configuration of the luminaire
Parameterization in devices from a wide range of manufacturers

Evaluations with Camera

Brightness of individual LEDs
Light color of individual LEDs
Inspection of reflectors and diffusers

Integration into your IT

With the advancing digitalization, the IT integration of test systems is also becoming increasingly important. Production-relevant data from MES or ERP systems can be integrated directly into the testing process – for example, for automatic firmware updates or for storing individual customer data for later use in the luminaire.

Central test plan storage on a server
Test plan creation independent of the test device at multiple workstations
Central test plan management
Reading and saving serial numbers
Integration of barcode / Data Matrix scanners
Label printing for luminaires and packaging
Communication with your ERP system (e.g., SAP, MS-Dynamics, ProAlpha…)
- Management of test orders
- Transfer of bills of material and information from your ERP system into the test plans
- Reporting back of test results and order data (such as serial number) to your ERP system
Central test result memory on a server
Various printing options for the test results
Statistical analyses
