Open System Protocol (OSP) overview
For dynamic lighting applications and beyond. Is open for everybody (license free) and a full documentation gives full control.
Open System Protocol (OSP)
Open System Protocol (OSP) was developed by ams OSRAM to enable dynamic lighting applications and more.
OSP is open for everybody and free of license. It is based on a master-slave architecture, allowing to control >1,000 devices individually in a chain. OSP is split into a base protocol, covering the lower 3 layers of ISO/OSI, and a device specific application layer.
Enable dynamic lighting applications
The flexibility of OSP allows the implementation of Dynamic Lighting Applications for decoration, warnings, and communication, or even for the integration of interactive functions like in Smart Surfaces by the integration of sensors and actuators.
OSP supports dynamic lighting applications with following key features:
- Address range: 1,024
- Net data: up to 64 bit per message frame
- Data transfer rate: 2.4 Mbit/s
- Self-diagnosis, self-addressing, further network layer features
With these data, a master controller can update more than 200 devices with 3 colors (Red/Green/Blue) in 16 bit depth in less than 10 ms.
Enable design flexibility for Smart Surfaces
OSP enables advanced concepts for more sophisticated designs for smart surface and dynamic lighting applications, by expanding the design freedom.
OSP allows:
- Network configurations like daisy chains, loopbacks and circles, and parallel branching (currently up to 8 branches supported by stand-alone intelligent driver AS1163)
- Integration in a 10BaseT1S zone architecture via gateway
- Integration of intelligent RGB (e.g. RGBi OSIRE® E3731i), white and monochrome LEDs in the same OSP network via stand-alone intelligent driver AS1163
- Extension of network to actuators and sensors via I2C
- Further extensions possible
- Multicasting, Broadcasting
