Lighting Automation System Overview

In order to match various light scenes, create a comfortable environment, reduce light pollution and save electricity, the birth of lighting automation system solves many problems in our daily life. Its main features are as follows:

1 Hardware Features

1) Use decentralized control to ensure system stability.

2) Each control panel is equipped with a processor (CPU) to maintain stable system operation.

3) The self-check function makes it easy to maintain and manage, and all parts are plug-in modules that can be easily replaced when a failure occurs.

4) It has a 20A self-locking relay with a self-locking function. The relay consumes electricity only when it is in action and does not consume electricity at other times. It can continue to maintain its original state in the event of a sudden power outage, ensuring the stability of the system.

5) Programs can be uploaded or downloaded between the central monitoring center and the on-site control panel, and if necessary, the program can be modified directly on-site through the network computer.

6) With its excellent compatibility, it can combine various networks of the system.

7) DDC function with independent operation function and suitable for various purposes, realizing linkage control with other systems.

8) Adopt Windows software that can directly link with IBS network (Windows/TCP/IP Protocol).

2 Main control functions

1) Capacity: Can accommodate circuits of 24,000 relays.

2) Power supply: 220V /50 Hz

3) Communication: Two-wire communication 19,200 bps. Basic transmission distance is 1.2Km, and can be extended to 9.6Km.

4) Self-check function:

It has the function of self-diagnosis of the working status of memory, input and output cards, relays, and transmission devices.

5) Clock function

Displays the records of working status by day, week, (hourly) month, and year.

Automatic recognition of leap years.

Automatically set Beijing (standard) time.

6) Timing control (schedule)

Each relay executes a 24-hour schedule.

The desired time period (area) to be controlled can be set arbitrarily using the mouse.

You can set up automatic operation on rest days and holidays as you like.

Automatically identify and control sunrise and sunset time periods.

Forecast lights-off time (instant lights-off mode) - 5 minutes in advance.

7) Delay control function

Each relay automatically delays switching.

8) Staff operating range setting (provide passwords for each level)

9) Online Control

It can be monitored over the Internet, and maintenance and customer service can also be performed over the Internet.

10) LAN monitoring

Computers in each office in the building can be monitored.

11) Phone control

The lighting zones can be controlled by using an ordinary telephone.

12) Daily and monthly report functions

It can record the time, method, and number of times the area was controlled.

13) Simulated image monitoring--(simulated on-site monitoring)

Use analog images to monitor the entire area.

3 Installation effect

a. Energy saving effect

Effectively utilize the lighting efficiency during the workday, lunchtime, and cleaning hours to provide the most suitable working environment and energy-saving solutions.

b. Save operating and management costs

No need for many managers, easy to operate

c. Create a comfortable working environment

The most suitable operating software for lighting control system is used to automatically analyze various data.

d. System stability

Adopting the distributed control mode with STAND-ALONE function, the monitoring center and the field controller upload/download all data to each other, and it is suitable for controlling 20A self-locking relays.

e. Carry out maintenance effectively

With the self-diagnosis function, the status of each machine is monitored at all times, and a fault is promptly handled when one occurs.

f. Openness of the system

It uses the international standard C language and Microsoft WINDOWS, and can be easily linked with other systems.
