Light control communication system includes first conversion unit, controller-side communication unit, device-side communication unit, and second conversion unit. First conversion unit converts an input signal in conformity with a first protocol used for controlling lighting device into a communication signal in conformity with a second protocol. Controller-side communication unit transmits the communication signal to device-side communication unit. Second conversion unit converts the communication signal into a control signal in conformity with the first protocol output to lighting device. First conversion unit extracts only data of a predetermined channel from channels of the input signal and converts the extracted data into the communication signal. Second conversion unit interpolates predetermined data in the communication signal to convert into the control signal.

Light control communication system, light control communication method and program

A wireless communication device includes: a wired communication circuit which receives, through a wired connection, an operation signal for controlling each of luminaires from a management device which controls an operation of each of the luminaires; a radio communication circuit which converts the operation signal received by the wired communication circuit and transmits the converted operation signal to each of the luminaires over a radio wave; an infrared ray receiver which receives an infrared ray signal transmitted from outside; and a controller. When the wired communication circuit receives a signal having a predetermined pattern from the management device, the controller transitions to a state for receiving the infrared ray signal, and, based on the infrared ray signal transmitted from outside, transmits a signal relating to communication setting between the radio communication circuit and each of the luminaires to each of the plurality of luminaires via the radio communication circuit.

Wireless communication device and lighting system

A lighting control device includes: a power supply circuit and a first controller. The first controller includes a first control circuit, a signal output circuit and a first interface. The first control circuit is configured to allow the signal output circuit to output a light control signal to the power supply circuit. The signal output circuit is configured to output the light control signal for indicating magnitude of the output power to the power supply circuit. The first control circuit is configured to transmit control information to and receive the control information from a second controller through the first interface. When the control information is received from the second controller through the first interface, the first control circuit is configured to allow the signal output circuit to output the light control signal corresponding to the control information to the power supply circuit.
