Lighting Control

Advanced Control Corporation provides the ability to expand your building automation system to include Lighting Control for your building. The range of control can be from a basic control system for lighting and equipment switching applications which are ideal for use in facilities where time-of-day control is being managed from a time clock or centralized building management system to a fully automatic lighting control for all of your facilities lighting circuits.

These lighting control systems can be incorporated as part of a new construction project or retrofitted to your facilities existing lighting circuits to allow all types of buildings to have the efficient control of the lighting circuits.

• Soft mapping for grouping branch circuits into zones that can be operated as a common group up to 64 independent zones can be configured for a single controller
• 8 input terminations for connecting local control devices to operate individual lighting zones
• Input timers to provide a timed override capability to local control devices
• Blink notification to alert occupants of an impending ‘lights out’ command
• RS232/485 port for serial communications with other systems using industry recognized Modbus protocol
• Provide Time-of-day control for meeting today’s energy code requirements
• 16 independently configurable time schedules, each with 24 separate on/off periods

Optional Fast Ethernet-based control for managing a large lighting system

Harness the openness of a building’s existing Ethernet backbone and share data between controllers at blistering speed. Advanced Control Lighting systems are also ideal for larger commercial and industrial buildings where the information from a local control device such as a photo sensor or switch is used to control branch breakers located in several different panels scattered throughout the facility.

Enhance the capabilities of your system by adding:

• 10BaseT port for peer-to-peer Ethernet communications using Modbus TCP protocol
• Ability to share remote status (input commands, time schedules, or zone states) with up to 225 other controllers
• Remote source capability for mapping up to four local or remotely located sources (input commands, time schedules, or zone states) with a single zone
• Network time synchronization service for coordinating controller time reference with a centralized timeserver
• Configurable alarm generator for tagging non-responding breakers and other operational parameters (viewable through PCS software)
• Integral web server to provide ready access to panel status and configuration screens (available as enhanced options on larger systems)
• Email alarm notification service for automatically notifying assigned users of an alarm condition through their computer email program, pager or cell phone (available as enhanced options on larger systems)
• Seamless coordination with Powerlink network area controllers (NACs) to provide a host of special control capabilities including auto load shed/restore, stepped dimming, demand control, and integration with other equipment (available as enhanced options on larger systems)
