The Solution
The Challenge
Tyco Electronics is one of the major business units of
Tyco International Ltd. (NYSE: TYC, LSE: TYI, BSX:
TYC). Headquartered in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA,
Tyco Electronics is the world's largest passive
electronic components manufacturer; a world leader in
cutting-edge wireless, active fiber optic and complete
power systems technologies; and is also rapidly
developing extensive networking and building
technology installation services. The company has
facilities located in 51 countries serving customers in
the aerospace, automotive, computer,
communications, consumer electronics, industrial and
power industries. Tyco Electronics provides advanced
technology products from over forty well-known and
respected brands.
Tyco electronics decided to offer a turnkey solution to
meet the growing need of tunnel lighting projects. The
proposed system had to be flexible and scalable
enough to meet the requirements of very small projects
involving hundred of lamps while meeting the more
stringent needs of more complex project involving tens
of thousands lamps. In order to achieve the needed
level of control and maintenance, each lamp has to be
controlled individually. The system must also provide
continuous fail-safe operation.
In order to set up such a sophisticated lighting control
system in a very short period of time, Tyco decided to
join forces with Domosys Corporation, a leading
provider of power line control networking technology,
and with Cooper Power Systems.

To provide fail-safe operation, the system consists of
two redundant Visual T&D servers in a cluster
architecture, sitting in two different control centers.
These applications work in parallel, and perform
acquisition of up to 100,000 data points, provided by 6
pairs of redundant Cybectec SMP Gateways, with dual
LAN capability.
In the event of software or hardware failure, the standby
server immediately switches over, recovers the state of
the 100,000 data points, and restores system
availability. Switchover can also be initiated on demand.
Redundant pairs of SMP Gateways perform data
acquisition of 15,000 to 25,000 data points each. The
SMP Gateways are configured for hot standby, and
switchover occurs within seconds in case of failure. To
ensure continuous data access, each SMP Gateway is
connected to the control center using dual Ethernet
connections through a fully redundant network.
By using the advanced capabilities of SMP Gateways
and the flexibility of the Visual T&D HMI/SCADA, Tyco
developed and commissioned a very scalable fail-safe
architecture in a four-month period.
The system is currently the largest tunnel lighting
project in the world.
