LED lighting control system using unidirectional DMX512 (digital multiplex with 512 pieces of information)) protocol has been the most popular. Nowadays, the user's consumption has been upgrading to the more intelligent system but the upgrading process does not affect the existing infrastructure. There were many researches use the additional communication for the feedback communication way such as WiFi, Controller Area Network (CAN), Power Line Communication (PLC), etc but all researches had inherent disadvantages that created the independent feedback with the existing DMX512 system. Our paper represents the novel method that uses the remote device management (RDM) protocol to associate the additional feedback with existent DMX512 infrastructure in the one system. The data in DMX512 frame sending to the DMX512 client is split and repacked to become the RDM packet. This RDM packet is transferred to the RDM monitor console and the response RDM packet is converted to the DMX512 frame for control DMX512 client devices. This is the closed loop control model which uses the bidirectional convertibility between RDM packet and DMX512 frame. The proposed method not only upgrades the feedback control function for the old DMX512 system without changing the existent infrastructure, but also solves compatible problems between new RDM devices and old DMX512 devices and gives the low cost solution for extending DMX512 universe.

DMX512 protocol controls a lighting system for outdoor lightings and stage lightings. But lighting systems using DMX512 protocol based wired needs expensive cost in installation, maintain, repair. And it has restrictions about control channel numbers and its ranges. Also, it needs additional equipments for the control of lighting systems which installed on wide area. In this paper, we propose wireless control technique and a ZDMX module for lighting systems on wide area based on DMX512 protocol. Our technique solves problems of DMX512 protocol, and it can control lighting systems on wide area effectively. We developments the LED lighting system using ZDMX modules and we have confirmed the suitability of our technique for real environment.

Currently green growth and energy saving are major issues and solution using low-power LED lighting devices are gaining popularity. There are a few standards to control these LED lighting equipment and DMX512 protocol is a typical communication control standard used. DMX512 lighting control protocol is one of standard protocols widely used in various fields which include mainly stage lighting and landscape lighting. But in DMX512 protocol, line is to be connected to a wired connection. Advantage of wired connection is stable data transfer operation but it adds complexity and certain constraints as well in wired connection. To solve this problem, wired connection can be replaced efficiently with a wireless connection but for wireless, problem of data loss and two way communications arises. In this paper, these problems of wireless communication for DMX512 have been addressed and solutions for two way communications and data loss problem have been proposed.

The lighting industry has become the bigger and more systemized using the semiconductor LED with each control R(Red), G(Green), B(Blue). The communication standard DMX512(ANSI E1.11) protocol of it basically needs the address which can be distinguished between the lighting terminals. The conventional method has to give the address of the lighting any methods like dip switch, EEROM and PROM. Then the lighting terminal can receive RGB data from DMX512 communication. According to electrical characteristics DMX512 protocol has to the splitter every 32 lighting terminals. If 512 lightings is all connected, maximum 16 splitters are needed. This paper is solved above weakness in DMX512 protocol using serial connection all lighting terminals. Also I developed the intelligent lighting terminal with auto-addressing. This was solved the inconvenience of the address assignment and the usage of the splitter. The developed products is applied and selled the semiconductor lighting terminals using ON-OFF control, dimming control, sequential control and rainbow control.

본 논문은 DMX-512 프로토콜에서 모든 조명등을 직렬 연결하는 주소 자동할당(Address Auto-Allocation) 방안을 소개한다. 조명 산업의 통신 표준인 DMX512(ANSI E1.11) 프로토콜은 기본적으로 조명등을 구별할 수 있는 주소가 필요하다. 기존의 방식은 이 주소를 조명등에 어떠한 형태(DIP Switch, EEPROM에 저장)로든 할당하고 서로를 구별하여, DMX512 통신 데이터에서 자신의 색상 데이터를 얻을 수 있다. 또한, DMX512 프로토콜의 전기적인 특성상 조명등 32대 마다 분배기가 필요하다. 본 논문은 DMX512 프로토콜에서 모든 조명등을 직렬로 연결하여 주소 자동할당 기능을 갖게 함으로써 단말기 주소 부여에 대한 불편함을 해소하고, 분배기의 사용 또한 필요 없게 하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방안을 반도체 LED 조명등에 적용하여 ON-OFF제어, 디밍제어, 순차제어, 무지개제어 등이 동작하는 것을 확인하였다.

LED는 기존의 광원에 비해 에너지 소모율이 낮고 효율성이 높아 여러 조명 시스템 분야에서 각광을 받고 있다. DMX512 프로토콜은 LED를 제어하는 표준 프로토콜 중의 하나이며 무대 조명, 경관 조명 분야에서 이용되고 있다. 하지만 DMX512 프로토콜은 유선 환경에서 제어되기 때문에 넓은 지역의 조명을 제어하는데 한계가 존재하며 제어 선들의 복잡성, 유지/보수의 어려움 등의 문제점이 존재한다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 유선 환경에서의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 Zigbee를 이용하는 Z-DMX512 프로토콜을 정의하고 이를 이용한 조명 제어 시스템을 설계한다.

Recently, various applications for LED lightings are growing continuously due to their better performances such as low power consumption, longer life time, operation speed, controllability, high quality color rendering, and sustainability. However, in developing the high-powered LEDs illumination system, heat-sink problem is one of the important obstacle. In this paper, a heat-sink design with multi-layered structure for high-powered LEDs is proposed, which is composed of metal core PCB, heat-pipes, heat-sink plates, and fans. And also, in this paper, a design for LED controls using DMX512 protocols through RS-485 communications is proposed, which is considered as de facto international standard in LEDs illumination control and is widely used in landscape lighting and stage lighting. In this paper, LED control and its application techniques are introduced and the method of wireless remote control for main controller is proposed.
