L-DALI: BACnet/DALI Controllers

Maen Sirhan — Tue, 02 Apr 2024 15:12:21 +0000

L-DALI:-ME201-U BACnet/DALI Controllers

LDALI-ME202-U BACnet/DALI Controller

LDALI-ME204-U BACnet/DALI Controller

L‑DALI Controllers are multifunctional devices combining constant light control, sunblind control and gateway functions between DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) and BACnet or Modbus systems. With Alarming, Scheduling, Trending and e-mail notification (AST) the L‑DALI Controller is a perfect solution for DALI lighting systems and for a smooth DALI integration into BACnet or Modbus networks.

DALI Network Interface

L-DALI Controllers act as a DALI-Master in the DALI network which can interact with DALI-2 multi-sensors and buttons in Multi-Master mode. The L-DALI Controllers feature 1, 2, or 4 independent DALI channels. Up to 64 DALI or DALI-2 based luminaries per DALI channel can be controlled individually or via 16 groups. All luminaries are monitored for lamp or ballast defect. In addition up to 64 DALI-2 input devices are supported per DALI channel. Each input device can be equipped with push buttons, sliders, occupancy and light sensors.

Built-In DALI Power Supply

All L-DALI models come with a built-in DALI bus power supply. The LDALI-ME201-U/LDALI-ME202-U can supply its DALI channel with a guaranteed supply current of 230 mA, the LDALI-ME204-U can supply 116 mA per channel. In case of the LDALI-ME204-U an external DALI bus power supply can be added to top up the supply current to 232 mA. External power supplies are available for up to four DALI channels. The internal DALI bus power can be switched on and off via web interface or LCD UI. Thanks to the switching power supply, these devices can handle input voltages from 85 – 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.

BACnet Connectivity

The L‑DALI Controllers feature connectivity in BACnet networks via BACnet/IP, BACnet/SC or BACnet MS/TP. They also provide data exchange through Global Connections and support comprehensive AST functionality (Alarming, Scheduling, and Trending). Full L‑WEB integration is supported as well. The L‑DALI Controllers are equipped with two Ethernet ports including a built-in Ethernet switch.

IoT Integration

The IoT function (Node.js) allows connecting the system to almost any cloud service, either for uploading historical data to analytics services, delivering alarm messages to alarm processing services or operating parts of the control system over a cloud service (e.g., scheduling based on Web calendars or booking systems). Processing Internet information such as weather data in forecast-based control is also possible. Finally, the JavaScript kernel also allows implementing serial protocols to non-standard equipment.

Local Operation and Override

The L‑DALI Controllers come with a built-in backlit display (128×64) and a jog dial for local operation and override. Using the local operation, maintenance tasks (DALI device replacement, burn-in mode, etc.) can be executed without the need of any software tool.

Constant Light Control

The integrated Constant Light Controller works with DALI and with BACnet devices. It supports various lighting control strategies, presence and lux level based. Several parameters can be used to configure the Constant Light Controller for almost any use case.

Sunblind Control with Constant Light Control Interaction

The integrated Sunblind Controller application allows intelligent controlling of blinds connected via SMI (requires LSMI-804). It offers effective sun and anti-glare protection through active slat control and slat adjustment according to the sun position. Energy efficiency is ensured by linking room occupancy with sun protection. If a room is unoccupied, the L‑DALI Controller opens or closes the sunblinds depending on the thermal requirements. This allows for instance to use the heat of the sun for heating in winter while in summer, the heat from the sun is reduced by the closed blinds to reduce the cooling load.

Optionally, the sunblind and light control applications of a room or an area can be linked together. As both applications control the light available in the room this holistic approach assures maximum comfort and energy efficiency.

In addition to the constant light and sunblind control, any mathematical calculation and function or logical operation (Boolean algebra) can be created on the device and process all available data points.

Device Configuration via Tool or Web Interface

The device configuration, commissioning, and parameterization is done either with the configuration tool software or via the integrated web server.

EnOcean, OPC and Modbus

EnOcean sensors and buttons can be integrated via the optional L‑ENO EnOcean interface. To use the L‑DALI with an existing SCADA solution all run-time values and parameters can be accessed via BACnet, OPC (XML/DA and UA) and Modbus TCP. 5, 10 or 15 devices can be connected via Modbus RTU (RS-485), the actual number of supported devices is dependent on the activated licenses (LIC-MOD5, LIC-MOD10 or both).

Advanced DALI Functions

DALI Sensors
The L-DALI Controllers support the integration of DALI-2 multi-sensors for presence detection and light level recognition. In addition to the LOYTEC multi-sensors LDALI-MS2-BT/MS3-BT/MS4-BT, DALI-2 sensors of many well-known manufacturers can be used. For asset tracking in office buildings with the LOYTEC multi-sensors (LDALI-MSx-BT), a LIC-ASSET license is required.
DALI Buttons
For manual operation, DALI-2 push button couplers, like the LDALI-BM2, DALI-2 operation panels and IR remote controls can be integrated into the system. Their functionality can be configured individually. In addition to controlling lighting via DALI (dimming, scene recall, etc.) and sunblinds via SMI (up, down, etc.), button press events can be propagated in the building network, triggering other, non-lighting related building automation functions.
DALI Relay Modules
Standard loads in the power grid can be controlled via DALI using DALI relay modules, like the LDALI-RM5 / LDALI-RM6 /LDALI-RM8.
DALI Color Control
The L-DALI allows controlling DALI luminaires with color control functionality (DT8). Both, tunable white (Tc) and full RGB color control (RGBWAF and xycoordinate) are supported. Light color can either be changed automatically, via manual operation (e.g. buttons) or via the network.
Auto Burn-In for Fluorescent Lamps
Fluorescent lamps must be operated about 100 hours with 100 % brightness before they may be dimmed. This burn-in process is monitored by L‑DALI for each lamp. After 100 hours burn-in time, the lamp’s constant light control is enabled.
Automatic Test of Emergency Lighting Systems
IIn DALI emergency lighting systems based on IEC 62386-202, L-DALI can be used for testing the sys-tem. The results can be logged.
Collection of Important Operational Parameters
For maximum transparency in the lighting system, L‑DALI can record the operating hours of each lamp and also the energy consumption (calculated).
DALI Device Replacement made Easy
Defective DALI ballasts can easily be replaced directly on the L‑DALI Controller (LCD and jog dial) or via the web interface. No software tool is necessary.

Smooth DALI integration into BACnet and Modbus Networks

The L‑DALI Controller maps information from the DALI network to BACnet objects or Modbus registers that are used to control DALI ballasts or to display operating states.

BACnet Interface

The following BACnet server objects are supported:

Analog Output objects to control DALI ballasts, groups, and channels
Multi-State Output objects for scene control of DALI groups and channels Analog Input objects providing feedback from DALI ballast, groups, and channels

L-VIS Touch Panels for LonMark, BACnet, and Modbus networks

Maen Sirhan — Tue, 02 Apr 2024 14:42:02 +0000

L-VIS Touch Panels for LonMark, BACnet, and Modbus networks are ideally suited for visualization and operation of various applications in building automation. L-VIS Touch Panels visualize building systems, can be used as room operator panels, in hospital operation or isolation rooms, conference and reception areas. The fully customizable user screens can show dynamic pages that are easy to navigate. L-VIS Touch Panels make use of an extremely low power embedded controller platform and operating system. This makes L-VIS resistant against problems when re-booting after power outage and also against any viruses.

L-VIS impresses with its timeless design, harmonic integration into modern and historical architecture, and with its extremely user friendly concept. The shallow installation depth and low thermal power loss allow mounting in almost any location.

Different Sizes

L-VIS Touch Panels are available in the following variations:

LVIS-3ME7-Gx

Touch Display, 800 x 480, 262 144 colors
Frameless glass front and capacitive touch

LVIS-3ME12-Ax

12,1“ Touch Display, 800 x 600, 262 144 colors

Aluminum frame with anodized finish

LVIS-3ME15-Gx

15“ Touch Display, 1024 x 768, 262 144 colors
Frameless glass front and capacitive touch

Dynamic Graphical Pages

The graphical pages may consist of multiple dynamic graphical controls that show the current plant status in real time. It is also possible to access decentralized schedules, alarm servers, or trends. The graphical projects are designed with the L-VIS/‌L-WEB configuration tool free of charge. Without any know-how in HTML or Java, user specific graphical pages can be created. Dynamic information is shown through value or text controls, changing symbols, bar charts, trend views, alarm and event lists, or schedule controls. The L-VIS/‌L-WEB configuration tool allows for using most of the pixel graphic formats (GIF, JPG, BMP, TIFF, PNG, MNG, ICO), vector graphics (SVG) and alpha blending.

Playback of Audio Files and Streams

The L-VIS Touch Panel supports the playback of stereo MP3, WAV, and MP3 streams (for example webradio). The playback will be started or stopped by the respective action object. The action object is linked to one of the available audio files or to the URL of an MP3 stream. When accessing a playback via LWEB‑802 or LWEB‑803, it will be executed locally on the client.

Automatic Page Generation

Pages including data point names and values, alarm views, schedules or trends can be created automatically by the L-VIS/L-WEB configuration tool. This significantly reduces engineering time and cost.

Connectivity and Data Points

The L-VIS Touch Panels support connectivity to LonMark Systems and BACnet networks. In addition, the Touch Panels provide communication to Modbus either as Master or Slave. For this purpose, Modbus TCP is supported exclusively and Modbus RTU is available via the RS‑485 terminal.

L-VIS Touch Panels communicate with LonMark Systems via IP-852 (Ethernet/‌IP) or TP/‌FT‑10 channels. The integrated remote network interface (Ethernet/‌IP) provides remote access to the TP/‌FT‑10 channel for configuration, service and maintenance purposes.

In addition, the L‑VIS Touch Panels provide connectivity to Modbus TCP via Ethernet/‌IP.

BACnet networks are connected via BACnet/‌IP, BACnet/‌SC or BACnet MS/‌TP. The L-VIS Touch Panels implement the BACnet Building Controller (B-BC) profile. They include a fully featured built-in BACnet/‌IP, BACnet/‌SC to MS/‌TP router with BBMD (BACnet Broadcast Management Device) and slave proxy functionality.

Math objects can calculate any kind of formula using data points available on the device. The resulting data point value can then be either shown on the page or provided via an output Network Variable. Network Variables are automatically mapped to OPC data points that can be accessed via Web services.

The L-VIS devices provide fully featured AST functionality (Alarming, Scheduling, and Trending) and can be integrated perfectly into the L-WEB Building Management System.

The L-VIS devices are equipped with two Ethernet ports. It can either be configured to use the internal switch to interconnect the two ports or every port is configured to work in a separate IP network.

When the Ethernet ports are configured for two separate IP networks, one port can be connected for instance to a WAN (Wide Area Network) with enabled network security (HTTPS) while the second port can be configure to be connected to an insecure network (LAN) where the standard building automation protocols like BACnet/‌IP, LON/‌IP, or Modbus TCP are present. These devices also feature firewall functionality of course to isolate particular protocols or services between the ports.

Using the internal switch, a daisy chained line topology of up to 20 devices can be built, which reduces costs for network installation. The IP switch also allow the setup of a redundant Ethernet installation (ring topology), which increases reliability. The redundant Ethernet topology is enabled by the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), which is supported by most managed switches.

The L‑VIS devices provide fully featured AST functionality (Alarming, Scheduling, and Trending) and can be integrated perfectly into the L‑WEB Building Management System.

LIOB-562 Module BACnet/IP

Maen Sirhan — Tue, 02 Apr 2024 13:32:18 +0000

The LIOB‑562 Modules communicate over Ethernet/IP in the BACnet/IP and BACnet/SC network. They adhere to the BACnet Building Controller Profile (B-BC) and either expose their I/ O data points through BACnet server objects or actively fetch them from a BACnet server via BACnet client maps.

According to the B-BC profile, the LIOB‑562 Modules support BACnet alarming, scheduling, and trending. They are BTL tested and certified.

Communication

The LIOB‑562 I/ O Modules are equipped with two Ethernet ports including a built-in Ethernet switch. This allows for building a daisy-chained line topology of up to 20 devices, which reduces costs for network installation. Dual Ethernet port devices also allow the setup of a redundant Ethernet installation (ring topology), which increases reliability. The redundant Ethernet topology is enabled by the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), which is supported by most managed switches.

The LIOB‑562 Modules are equipped with a web interface to query the device status and display or change each data point of the module. In addition to the BACnet object interface, the I/ O data points are exposed by the integrated OPC server providing TLS encrypted web services (OPC XML‑DA) or UA Secure Conversation (OPC UA). The local display can be accessed via VNC.

LIOB‑IP Mode

LIOB-560 Module BACnet/IP

Maen Sirhan — Tue, 02 Apr 2024 13:31:36 +0000

The LIOB‑560 Modules communicate over Ethernet/IP in the BACnet/IP and BACnet/SC network. They adhere to the BACnet Building Controller Profile (B-BC) and either expose their I/O data points through BACnet server objects or actively fetch them from a BACnet server via BACnet client maps.

According to the B-BC profile, the LIOB‑560 Modules support BACnet alarming, scheduling, and trending. They are BTL tested and certified.

Communication

The LIOB‑560 I/ O Modules are equipped with two Ethernet ports including a built-in Ethernet switch. This allows for building a daisy chained line topology of up to 20 devices, which reduces costs for network installation. Dual Ethernet port devices also allow the setup of a redundant Ethernet installation (ring topology), which increases reliability. The redundant Ethernet topology is enabled by the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), which is supported by most managed switches.

The LIOB‑560 Modules are equipped with a web interface to query the device status and display or change each data point of the module. In addition to the BACnet object interface, the I/O data points are exposed by the integrated OPC server providing TLS encrypted web services (OPC XML‑DA) or UA Secure Conversation (OPC UA). The local display can be accessed via VNC.

L-IP Router BACnet

Maen Sirhan — Fri, 29 Mar 2024 08:23:39 +0000

The LIP-ME201C, LIP-ME202C, and LIP-ME204C BACnet/‌IP Routers connect BACnet MS/‌TP channels to a BACnet/‌IP network. The BACnet routers are compliant with the standards ASHRAE 135‑2012 and ISO 16484‑5:2012. The routers can be configured to act as a BACnet Broadcast Management Device (BBMD). The L-IP BACnet/‌IP Routers also provide Foreign Device support and BACnet/SC.

The BACnet router can act as a BACnet Time Master and as a BACnet MS/‌TP Slave Proxy. Extended features like the optional write protection of the BDT, a BACnet/‌IP Access Control List (ACL), and a simple communications test for BBMD help to locate issues on the network. The BACnet router also features remote MS/‌TP data packet capturing. BACnet MS/‌TP data packets are captured by the device and can be analyzed using Wireshark (free Protocol Analyzer, www.wireshark.org). Wireshark can either connect to the L-IP online or the capture file is loaded from the L-IPs web server and analyzed offline in Wireshark.

The entire device configuration of the BACnet router is done via the built-in web server, optionally also secured via HTTPS protocol. The BACnet router is BTL tested and WSPcert certified as BACnet Application Specific Controller (B-ASC).

Each L-IP BACnet/‌IP Router is equipped with two Ethernet ports. It can either be configured to use the internal switch to interconnect the two ports or every port is configured to work in a separate IP network.

When the Ethernet ports are configured for two separate IP networks, one port can be connected for instance to a WAN (Wide Area Network) with enabled network security (HTTPS) and BACnet/SC while the second port can be configured to be connected to an insecure network (LAN) where the standard building automation protocols like BACnet/‌IP are present. These devices also feature firewall functionality of course to isolate particular protocols or services between the ports. The built-in VPN function provides for simple VPN setup and secure access to remote sites. The LTE-800 interface enables wireless access to remote sites through a mobile carrier.

Using the internal switch, a daisy chained line topology of up to 20 devices can be built, which reduces costs for network installation. The IP switch also allows the setup of a redundant Ethernet installation (ring topology), which increases reliability. The redundant Ethernet topology is enabled by the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), which is supported by most managed switches.
