Abstract (en)

The arrangement (10) includes at least one input device (11) for an entry of lighting information, which is connected over a common signal transmission arrangement (12) with several signal processing- and memory modules (13). The modules control several separate circuits (14, 15) connected to respective lighting elements (17, 18, 19), whereby each input device can receive lighting information for each lighting element. The arrangement (10) includes at least one input device (11) for an entry of lighting information, which is connected over a common signal transmission arrangement (12) with several signal processing- and memory modules (13) which store the transferred signals, at least partially as lighting information. The modules control several separate circuits (14, 15) connected to respective lighting elements (17, 18, 19), whereby each input device can receive lighting information for each lighting element. The respective input device sends the lighting information as signals over the signal transmission arrangement, along with a signal address to all signal processing- and memory modules. Each module examines autonomously, through comparison of its respectively own address with the signal address, whether a lighting element connected to it is affected, and stores this signal as lighting information at a positive result.
