EN IEC 63128:2019 pdf download.LIGHTING CONTROL INTERFACE FOR DIMMING – ANALOGUE VOLTAGE DIMMING INTERFACE FOR ELECTRONIC CURRENT SOURCING CONTROLGEAR
1 Scope
This document specifies the analogue control interface of controlgear which has the function of controlling the output of the controlgear. The output of the controlgear is controlled between minimum/off and maximum values by the voltage control device sinking the controlgear current source. This document does not specify safety requirements for the analogue interface of controlgear. Safety requirements are given in IEC 61 347 (all parts).

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses: • IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/ • ISO Online browsing platform: available at http://www.iso.org/obp 3.1 controlgear <for an electric light source> unit inserted between the electrical supply and at least one light source, which serves to supply the light source(s) with its (their) rated voltage or rated current, and can consist of one or more separate components Note 1 to entry: The controlgear may include means for igniting, dimming, correcting the power factor and suppressing radio interference, and further control functions. Note 2 to entry: The controlgear consists of a power supply and a control unit. Note 3 to entry: The terms “control gear” and “controlgear” are interchangeable. In IEC standards, the term “controlgear” is commonly used. 3.2 controllable lamp controlgear electronic controlgear whose lamp operating characteristics can be changed by means of a separate control input signal [SOURCE: IEC 61 347-1 :201 5, 3.2.3, modified – “ballast” has been replaced with “lamp controlgear” and “a signal via mains or extra control input” has been replaced with “a separate control input signal”.]3.3 control terminal terminal intended to connect an item to a circuit or device capable of supplying or receiving an electronic control signal to the item Note 1 to entry: Control inputs for other control signals (for example IEC 62386 (all parts), IEC 62756-1 ) are excluded. [SOURCE: IEC 60050-845:—, 845-28-062, modified – The note has been added.] 3.4 control signal DC voltage that is used to set the output power of the lamp controlgear 3.5 control unit of the controlgear <for an LED light source> electronic device, being part of the controlgear, designed for controlling the electric energy to the LED light source Note 1 to entry: The purpose of controlling the electric energy can be colour mixing, responding to depreciating luminous flux, and other features. Note 2 to entry: In LEDsi modules, the control unit of the control gear is part of the LED module and separate from the power supply of the control gear. [SOURCE: IEC 60050-845:—, 845-28-057] 3.6 electric light source light source primary light source with the means for connecting to the electric supply and usually designed to be incorporated into a luminaire Note 1 to entry: An electric light source can be a lamp, provided with a lamp cap, or LED module designed to be connected by terminals, connectors or similar devices. 3.7 output power <of an electronic lamp controlgear> electrical power supplied from the electronic lamp controlgear at the output terminals of the electronic lamp controlgear
4 General remarks on tests
4.1 Disconnected control signal If the control signal is not received, the lamp controlgear shall provide the rated power or maximum of the rated power range or the system failure level, if applicable and described by the manufacturer. 4.2 Type test Tests according to this document are type tests. The requirements and tolerances permitted by this document are based on the testing of a type test sample submitted by the manufacturer for that purpose. In principle this type test sample should consist of units having characteristics typical of the manufacturer’s production and be as close to the production centre point values as possible. For guidance on sampling plans and procedures for inspection by attributes, see ISO 2859-1 .
