Distributive Control Framework for Lighting Applications

Brightness is a key factor of environment, the quality of it can influence task performance, comfort and well-being. On the other side, brightness can be used to direct the viewers attention to particular elements in the environment. The Communication Protocol uses a system strategy of distributed intelligence to define the relationship between the user interfaces and the load controllers. This details how each device manages its responsibility within the system to ensure continuous operation. All devices support at least one protocol port, with the same protocol used for system Commissioning and the day-to-day operations of the system. The channels in an area are used by the system to alter any electronically controlled dimension of a space. Presets then simultaneously recall the individual levels for a group of channels. The preset states can also be used throughout the system by sequential and conditional logic to perform an endless variety of sophisticated tasks.
