Abstract: An illumination system includes an alert unit connected to a control device. During work to connect the illumination equipment to the relay, the control device searches whether or not the illumination equipment is connected, through the relay; when the connection of the illumination equipment is detected, sends an inquiry on a type of the illumination equipment to the illumination equipment and acquires information on the type of the illumination equipment; when the information on the type of the illumination equipment is the same as the planned connection equipment type stored in advance, sets an identification number for the illumination equipment connected to the control device; and, when the information on the type of the illumination equipment differs from the planned connection equipment type stored in advance, causes the alert unit to generate a first alert.

Abstract: A control device which is connected to luminaires includes: a storage which stores associations between types of luminaires and identification (ID) number ranges for each of the types; an identifying unit which identifies a type of each of the luminaires; and an assigning unit which, by reference to the associations, assigns, to each of the luminaires, an ID number in an ID number range for the type identified by the identifying unit such that, among the luminaires, luminaires of a same type have consecutive ID numbers in the ID number range.

Abstract: A control device searches for a device to which a global identification (ID) including a manufacturer ID and a device ID is assigned in advance, by searching for the global ID. The manufacturer ID is set for each manufacturer using m bits, and the device ID is uniquely set by each manufacturer using n bits. M and n each are a natural number. The control device includes: a storage storing the manufacturer ID; an inquirer designating a possible range of the global ID at a time when m bits indicated by the manufacturer ID stored in the storage are fixed, and making, to devices connected to the control device, an inquiry about whether a global ID assigned to the device is in the possible range; and a receiver receiving, from the devices, a response to the inquiry, the response indicating that the global ID is in the possible range.
