Your building automation system is a computerized, intelligent network of electronic devices designed to manage your entire building. There are many intricate pieces to this networking puzzle all coming together to form one cohesive unit. Your mechanical, electrical and lighting systems all must be able to provide the necessary capabilities while communicating in the same language. It can be challenging to find all the right pieces. When it comes to lighting control, PLC is the missing piece to your building automation puzzle. We offer lighting control systems with the BAS capabilities you require while operating within the protocol you specify.
Control the Capabilities You Need
Every PLC lighting control system gives you the ability to incorporate all the capabilities you are looking for, including LED dimming and remote switching.
Communicate with Your BAS
Each of our systems has been designed for easy communication on networks using BACnet, Modbus, LONworks and even CANbus. Its easy to incorporate one of our systems into your building automation system.
The Expertise to Put It All Together
Simply select a lighting control system that suits your buildings lighting needs. Then choose the capabilities youd like your building automation system to control. Our software engineering team will combine this with the proper protocol that is a perfect fit to your building automation system. Your puzzle is solved.
Lighting Control for Any Application
PLC has developed a wide range of lighting control systems ready to handle almost any lighting application. With input/output options ranging from as few as 8 to as many as 255, we have a lighting control solution thats sure to be a perfect fit.
Everything Needed for Your BAS is Here.
Modbus
Modbus consists of a messaging structure designed to establish client - server communications between a wide range of intelligent devices. Most of our systems can use this common building automation protocol.
Communication Protocol
Application Capabilities
CES Sensor Output Monitoring
The status of every sensor can be viewed in footcandles as a voltage, current or calibrated value.
Time ClockScheduled Events
This configurable capability enables an output relay to be controlled by the ON/OFF times of the internal time clock schedule.
BACnet
BACnet is a nonproprietary, open protocol communications standard. It can be applied to practically any type of system found in buildings today.
Photo- and Clock-Scheduled Events
This capability allows a photo sensor to turn ON the exterior lights and allows the time clock to shut OFF the lights at a later time.
LONworks
LONworks-compatible devices communicate with each other through what is known as a Standard Network Variable Type, or SNVT. For an SNVT to function, both the sending and the receiving devices must have detailed knowledge of what the SNVT structure is.
Photo Control & Daylight Harvesting
Maximize energy conservation by using the capabilities of photo sensors and controllers to shut off internal lighting when the ambient light levels reach a specific point.
CANbus
CANbus is a Controller Area Network bus, a rugged, digital serial bus originally designed for automotive and industrial environments. It is now used in a wide range of applications, including those for aircraft and aerospace as well as factory and building automation.
Remote Switch Status or Control
Allows the use of a manual switch for controlling a relay or zone output. This remote switch capability can be combined with other control sources such as photo and time clocks, which gives greater lighting control flexibility.
Outputs Override Control
Most lighting applications that involve public safety should have override controls built into the lighting control. This feature allows the output relays to be forced ON or OFF regardless of the state of the system controller.
HTML
HyperText Markup Language is the standard language used to structure Web pages. HTML is used to conform to the HTTP communication protocol necessary for displaying information over the Internet.
Temperature and Pressure Control
Control events based on readings from temperature or pressure sensors.
Full-2Way
The Full-2Way bus is a low-voltage, two-wire, topology-free and polarity-neutral system developed by Panasonic. This affords architects, engineers and specifiers design flexibility. It is easy to install, easy to expand and ideal for both new construction and retrofit applications.
Analog 0-10 and 4-20mA Monitoring
Inputs are flexible to monitor 0-10, 1-10, 0-5, 1-5 Volt signals for use in applications where the sensor is up to 500 feet from the control system. For locations up to 4,000 feet away, you can use our 4-20mA sensor.
