KOMX Control is ideal for architectural lighting that necessitates the advantages of dynamic movement and color in a user-friendly and economical format, with the capability to manage up to 2048 channels. LWEB software provides assistance and direction duning controller programming.
With the dependability you anticipate from KEPLER and our knowledge of dynamic lighting in entertainment and architecture: a control solution that is simple to install and operate.
KOMX-GWi series are powerful, programmable OMX controllers, which can programmed by node.js.

The KOMX gateway is capable of hosting graphical pages that are specific to the user and can incorporate physical inputs and outputs using four channels of RS 485.

One Controller

The powerful KOMX Gateway offers connectivity functions that allow for the simultaneous integration of BACnet, KNX, Modbus, and OPC Systems. These systems can integrated using Ethernet/IP communications.
It is possible to communicate data between all of the communication technologies that are present on the device thanks to the gateway capability. Different data points pertaining to technology are mapped on the device by means of the Local Connections capability. Global Connections provides help for the mapping of various technological data points on devices that are scattered throughout multiple locations.

Two Ethernet connector, which may be linked to a Wide Area Network (WAN) with HTIPS enabled, is included in each KOMX gateway. Additionally, there are two USB 2.0 Type A ports and an HOMI port, both of which are capable of supporting 4K 30 frames per second output. One can easily set up a virtual private network (VPN) and gain secure access to remote locations using the built-in VPN capability.
While the KOMX is capable of providing fully fledged ASTM functionality (including Alarming, Scheduling, and Trending), it can be also be perfectly integrated into the L-WEB System by the user.

loT Integration

Using the Internet of Things (loT) function, which is built on Nodes.js it is possible to connect the system to virtually any cloud service. This can be done for a variety of purposes, including the uploading of historical data to analytics services, the use of MOTT for telemetry, the transmission of alarm messages to alarm processing services, or the operation of certain components of the control system through a cloud service (for example, scheduling based on Web calendars or booking systems). Additionally, it is feasible to process information from the Internet, such as weather data, in order to perform forecast-based control. Last but not least, the JavaScript kernel also makes it possible to build serial protocols to nonstandard equipment in primary plant control.

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
Analog Input objects providing status information from DALI groups and channels

The L‑INX Automation Servers LINX‑215 are programmable automation stations with integrated graphical visualization for central automation tasks in BACnet and LonMark networks. They can integrate physical I/‌Os through L‑IOB I/‌O Modules via LIOB‑Connect, LIOB‑FT, or LIOB‑IP. Local operation and override is provided by the built-in jog dial and the backlit display (128×64 pixels). Device and data point information is shown on the display via symbols and in text format.

LonMark Systems can be integrated via IP‑852 (Ethernet/‌IP) or TP/‌FT‑10. In addition, the Automation Servers provides connectivity to concurrently integrate KNX, Modbus, and M‑Bus and connect as a gateway data points of different technological origin. The Automaton Servers feature an integrated IP‑852 router providing the complete feature set of corresponding L-IP devices.

BACnet can be integrated via BACnet/‌IP, BACnet/‌SC or BACnet MS/‌TP. In addition, the Automation Servers provide connectivity to concurrently integrate KNX, Modbus, and M‑Bus and connect as a gateway data points of different technological origin. Optionally, mathematical objects can be applied within a connection to calculate the data point output values depending on the formula used. The Automaton Servers feature a BACnet/‌SC router, BACnet/‌IP router including BBMD as well as Slave-Proxy functionality. LINX‑215 is BTL certified as B-BC (BACnet Building Controller).

The gateway functionality allows data communication between all communication technologies available on the device. Different technology data points are mapped through Local Connections on the device. The mapping of different technology data points on distributed devices is supported by Global Connections. L‑INX Automation Servers also support Smart Auto-Connect – the automatic generation of connections to substantially reduce engineering efforts and cost. All technology data points are automatically created as OPC XML‑DA and OPC UA data points.

Each L-INX Automation Server 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) 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. 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 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-INX devices provide fully featured AST functionality (Alarming, Scheduling, and Trending) and can be integrated perfectly into the L-WEB System.

The LDALI‑PLC2/PLC4 controllers are powerful, programmable lighting controllers, which can be programmed by L‑STUDIO. With Alarming, Scheduling, Trending and e‑mail notification (AST) the LDALI‑PLC2/PLC4 controller is a perfect solution for DALI lighting systems with application requirements not covered by the standard application of the non‑programmable L‑DALI controllers.

DALI Network Interface

L‑DALI Controllers act as a DALI‑Master in the DALI network and can interact withDALI‑2 multi‑sensors and buttons in Multi‑Master mode. The LDALI‑PLC2/PLC4 is equipped with 2/4 independent DALI channels. Up to 64 DALI or DALI‑2 basedluminaries per DALI channel can be controlled individually or via 16 groups. Allluminaries are monitored for lamp or ballast defect. In addition up to 64 DALI‑2input devices are supported per DALI channel. Each input device can be equipped with push buttons, sliders, occupancy and light sensors.

Built-In DALI Bus Power Supply

The LDALI‑PLC4 comes with a built‑in DALI bus power supply, which can supply each DALI channel with a guaranteed supply current of 116 mA. 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 LDALI‑PLC2 pro‑vides a DALI‑bus power supply with guaranteed supply current of 230mA per channel. 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.

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.

Programmable

The LDALI‑PLC2/PLC4 can be programmed using the L‑STUDIO programming tool. It can be programmed using IEC 61499 for integration into the L‑ROC system and IEC 61131 for stand-alone operation.

IEC 61131 lighting control library available

A library containing standard lighting control functionality is available. It supports various lighting control strategies, presence and lux level based. Several parame‑ters can be used to configure the application for almost any use case. User specific program extensions are possible as well.

Connectivity

The LDALI‑PLC2/PLC4 controller provides connectivity functions to concurrently integrate CEA‑709 (LonMark Systems), BACnet, KNX, and Modbus subsystems. LonMark Systems can be integrated via IP‑852 (Ethernet/IP). BACnet integration is supported through BACnet/IP (Ethernet/IP), BACnet/SC or BACnet MS/TP (RS‑485), KNXnet/IP and Modbus TCP via Ethernet/IP.

Each L-DALI Controller 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) while the second port can be configured 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 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 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.

The L-DALI Controllers provide fully featured AST functionality (Alarming, Scheduling, and Trending) and can be integrated perfectly into the L‑WEB System.

IoT Integration

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, SMI and LIOB/‌IP

Wireless EnOcean sensors and buttons can be integrated via the optional L‑ENO EnOcean interface. For sunblinds the LSMI-804 extension module allows the integration of up to four SMI channels. Physical I/Os can be integrated through L‑IOB I/O Modules via LIOB‑IP.

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.
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. The function executed when a button is pressed is freely programmable in the program logic. In addition the feedback feature for pushbutton instances according to IEC 62386‑332 is supported.
DALI Relay Modules
Standard loads in the power grid can be controlled via DALI using DALI relay modules, like the LDALI-RM5, LDALI-RM6 and LDALI-RM8.
DALI Color Control
The LDALI allow controlling DALI luminaires with color control functionality (DT8). Both, tunable white (Tc) and full RGB color control (RGBWAF and xy-coordinate) are supported. Changing the light colour is possible via scenes or controlled via the program logic.
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
In DALI emergency lighting systems based on IEC 62386-202, L-DALI can be used for testing the system. 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.
