Lighting control Lighting control systems link both indoor and outdoor lumi­ naires in intelligent networks. They combine the lighting hard­ ware and software to produce a user­friendly tool allowing inno­ vative lighting technology func­ tions, such as the varychrome colour change technology, to be utilised for scenographic light­ ing concepts. They also enable lighting systems to be integrated with the building technology for professional light management. Whether for a single room or an entire building – the ERCO prod­ uct range offers the optimum solutions for lighting control tasks of all sizes.

By using such systems, the architecture can be repeatedly reinterpreted along functional, aesthetic and dramaturgical lines. Intelligent lighting management increases the comfort of the building and saves energy. It is equally possible to control light scenes via timer functions as it is to program cyclical sequences. ERCO lighting control systems are particularly suitable for controlling complex, atmospheric scenic lighting installations in architectural settings, e.g. in hotel foyers, lobbies, shops, restaurants, bars or conference rooms. Lighting control systems allow dynamic and user-friendly control of lighting tools with colour mixing function such as ERCO Varychrome luminaires. o i.c l s .te w w w m m o i.c w 61 s e t . w w w om c i. s om c i. w .t w w w w om c i. l s e w s .te w w m o i.c ERCO Program 2008/09 w w sl e .t s .te w w w 50 w w m o c li. l es LON Area Net l s e .te 51 Light System DALI l es o i.c w w www.erco.com s .te l es Light System DALI m o i.c l es l s .te w m o i.c l es w l s e m o i.c www.erco.com .te w w w m o c li. s .te w w om c i. m w w The ERCO Light System DALI brings an innovative approach to lighting control: intelligently applied DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) technology for individually addressable luminaires, combined with the ERCO Light Studio software, form an integrated system for scenographic lighting. Together with the comprehensive range of DALI-compatible ERCO luminaires for the indoor and outdoor area and the ERCO DALI track, this enables scenographic lighting effects such as coloured light, dynamic progressions, light scenes, timer functions and light sequences to be used in architecture more simply and economically than ever before. New standards in terms of ease of operation, range of functions and creative control are set by the consistent integration of software and hardware. For example, colour selection for DALI-compatible varychrome luminaires in the ERCO Light Studio are determined clearly and interactively at the click of a mouse. The bus technology and the switch and dimming functions integrated into the control gear make a permanent wiring of individual circuits and the installation of vast dimmer banks in switch cabinets unnecessary. Once a system is activated, the DALI-compatible ERCO luminaires known as Light Clients - are automatically recognised by the Light Server due to the factory-set cod- o i.c ing of the luminaire’s DALI control gear and clearly displayed in the software. DALI-compatible luminaires of other manufacturers can also be integrated into Light System DALI and be controlled just as easily as ERCO Light Clients. The Light Server 64 for up to 64 DALI addresses enables the Light System to handle many typical lighting control applications, as in multifunctional rooms, shops and shop windows, restaurants, lobbies or company showrooms. Larger installations with over 64 addresses can be created by networking up to twelve Light Servers via the integrated Ethernet interfaces. This makes it possible to manage up to 768 DALI addresses. In order to identify luminaires in complex rooms with limited visual contact, each Light Client has an electronic luminaire ID stored in the control gear and recorded on a sticker, which is placed in a lighting plan on site. The electronic luminaire ID is automatically recognised by the lighting control software. The DALI Light System consists of the hardware components Light Server and Light Changer and the software Light Studio. The Light Server is a DALI controller that stores system and scene data and provides the control functions. Day-to-day operation takes place via the compact, wall-mounted ERCO Light Changer control panel, via push-buttons or via remote control. To set up light scenes and for more complex operations, designers or users can use the ERCO Light Studio software on a PC connected to the Light Server or the Light Changer via a USB connection. The Light Server uses the DALI protocol to communicate with the Light Clients, i.e. the connected DALI-compatible luminaires, via a two-core control line. With DALI track accessories, the well-established and reliable ERCO track is ideal for the operation of DALI-compatible ERCO spotlights via Light System DALI.

The installation work is significantly reduced when compared with that of other lighting control technologies: DALI technology integrates the switching and dimming functions in the luminaire or in the control gear, while the 2-core control line connects all participating devices in any topology. The power supply to the luminaires is constant and independent of the DALI wiring. l es om c i. l s e The ERCO Light Studio software is included with every Light Server.

Although a Light System DALI may be commissioned for use without a PC, only the Light Studio can give designers and users full creative control in the sense of “tune the light”. With its easy-to-follow graphic user interface, Light Studio provides many different functions for setting up and documenting DALI Light Systems and for using them for scenographic and energy-efficient architectural lighting. These functions include such unique features as the automatic recognition of DALI-compatible ERCO luminaires (Light Clients) and the display of these with product names, images and article numbers, or the interac tive determination of the colour locus of varychrome luminaires. A PC installed with ERCO Light Studio can be connected to the Light Server or the Light Changer via a USB port or to the hub via Ethernet. When connected, the arrangement and current settings of the particular Light System m o i.c l es DALI are transferred to the program and displayed there as a project. After completing the system set up and programming the light scenes, the PC can then be disconnected from the system; the day-to-day operation (i.e. recalling light scenes) is performed via the Light Changer or via pushbuttons. Light Studio consists of several modules which cover different tasks when working with a Light System DALI. l es w w w w s .te w Light Timer The Timer module allows light scenes to be recalled at predefined times. The time and calendar functions provide great flexibility for the automation of scenographic lighting, e.g. to set the light scenes to shop-opening times or licensing hours, or to reduce the lighting level during night time. om c i. sl e .t w w w m w w w w w om c i. w w ERCO Program 2008/09 s .te w l s e .t s Light Sequencer The Light Sequencer is a tool designed specifically for the purpose of defining and storing sequences of light scenes as a timed progression. Compared with the dynamic progression in the Light Master, the Light Sequencer can be used to create a sequence of scenes without specifying a definite starting time. This component can then be used for a variety of events with different starting times. The actions and fading times for each scene transition can be set individually. w s .te w w Light Book The Light Book is used for the organisation and spatial structuring of Light Studio projects. Its main function is to create zones and assign Light Clients or Light Changers to zones. It also defines generic Light Clients for luminaires from other manufacturers or custombuilt ERCO luminaires and saves the relevant information in the DALI control gear of the Light Clients. o i.c www.erco.com .te m o c li. w l s e m w w w om c i. l s .te m o i.c Light Master The primary function of the Light Master module is to process and control light scenes. The Light Clients of a Light System are displayed as a list and graphically. Their attributes, such as dimmer settings or colour locations, can be set interactively, and there are userfriendly tools such as the colour wheel, a colour library and a progression library or dynamic progressions especially for controlling varychrome luminaires. Light Clients can be grouped together as required and synchronised with each other. Defined settings are saved as a light scene. Up to 1024 light scenes can be created and given plain text names. These are also displayed on the Light Changer. o i.c In 2008, the Light System DALI will be available with new functions: 1. Connection of a PC to Light Studio via Ethernet 2. Connection of up to four switches, movement sensors or twilight switches for each Light Server 3. Interface to media technology via Ethernet 4. Master dimming 5. Configuration of Emanon projection spotlights with Goborotators 6. Printout of project data for documentation s .te w 55 Light System DALI l es m o i.c The battery free remote control, for example, is useful in conference rooms for conveniently recalling different light scenes. The receiver receives the signals sent by the remote control or the wall transmitter and passes them on to the Light System DALI installation. o i.c l w w m o i.c m The battery free wall transmitter with four pushbuttons can also be subsequently mounted on any surface since it does not require electrical wiring. m o c li. s .te w w w l es in the room and check the different light settings in the Light Studio. s .te w l es Integrating sensors and media technology The four digital inputs on the Light Server allow an individual configuration of components such as movement sensors or twilight switches. The Light System DALI can thus interact with sensors and automatically recall scenes. The inputs are conveniently configured using Light Studio. The Ethernet interface enables the user to connect to the media technology or wirelessly program the Light System DALI using a WLAN router. This simplifies the set-up of the scenes and enables the lighting designer to move around freely om c i. l s e 56 Sensors such as movement sensors or twilight switches can be connected to the four digital inputs of the Light Server and configured using the Light Studio software. Scalability DALI protocol limits the number of addresses in a conventional DALI system to 64. ERCO Light System DALI goes beyond this limit with the Light Server 64+, which can be networked with other Light Servers of the same type through an Ethernet interface. Installations with over 64 addresses can be created by networking up to twelve Light Server 64+ units via the integrated Ethernet interfaces. This allows the management of up to 768 DALI addresses. The number of connectable Light Changers multiplies accordingly. sl e .t The option of the networkable Light Server 64+ makes the Light System DALI suitable for extensive systems with differentiated lighting concepts and dynamic light. w w w w s .te w om c i. l s e s w w w s .te w w www.erco.com s .te om c i. .t ERCO Program 2008/09 w w w m w w w w w o i.c .te m o i.c l es 06652.000 Light Studio for Light System DALI Software for configuring the ERCO Light System DALI.

Area Net can be used to interpret architecture to suit different requirementswhether aesthetic or practical, Area Net can create the optimum lighting effect for each individual case. Area Net integrates into the networked building technology as a modular-based individual system with decentralised control panels which control the lighting of a whole building and can be linked up with sensors, other equipment and data networks. The system components have their own microprocessor with an integrated interface. Identified by individual addresses, all com-ponents can communicate with one another using a common line, which simplifies the installation considerably. The speed and dependability of the bus protocol is ideal for high quality lighting control applications. Sensors enable the interaction between Area Net and its environment. This means that the daylight sensors automatically maintain the lighting level even with fluctuating levels of daylight, saving energy. In addition, different light scenes can be recalled to suit the external lighting conditions. The connections for presence sensors and switches complete the product range. o i.c s .te w 61 LON Area Net l es m o i.c l s .te w m o i.c w Programming, configuration and operation of Area Net is carried out via the Control Pad or a Preset. From this point the output modules are addressed. They recall the relevant parameters for the requested light scene from their memory banks and control the connected circuits as required.
