Functional description

The LS light controller offers a complete package for the control and programming of the lighting system. The range of functions extends from the addressing of the individual devices to the formation of virtual cross-line groups in the Dali-2 system and from the integration of circuits to the display and maintenance of all devices. The configuration and addressing can take place completely and flexibly via the visualization. The fast parameterization and allocation of all devices can be done with the help of simple Excel spreadsheets. All parameters can always be changed during operation.

Sensors, push buttons or schedules can be integrated for controlling the lighting. The lamps, circuits, sensors, push buttons and schedules can be assigned to individual or several groups or scenes as required.

Each of these groups can operate with a daylight-dependent control or with an adjustable light value control. In addition, the operation mode (circuit, semi/fully automatic, etc.) can be selected for each group. If sensors are used, the light is switched off on expiry of the 1st overrun time (OT1). With a 2nd overrun time (OT2) –if desired– the lighting can initially be ramped down to a basic value until it is switched off on expiry of this time. Individual scenes can be created and saved across all groups.

Each group can be assigned an area, which can be activated via a push button or schedule. The light can only be switched on via a sensor if the area is activated. Pass-through or night watchman circuits, for example, are thus easy to insert at any time with the help of the flexible group logics.

In manual operation mode, all Dali lines are addressed simultaneously by broadcast. This mode is important, especially prior to the initial commissioning, so that the electricians can check and test their DALI wiring. If the individual lamps do not react here, this means that there is a defect in the control gear, the lamp or the cabling.

Furthermore there is a maintenance mode for each individual lamp as well as each group in order to specifically override and test them. Defective control gears and sensors can be replaced or added during operation.

All settings, parameters, etc. are generally password-protected. Users can be managed via the system's own user management.

The illustrations in the following chapters may differ slightly from the latest version.

In the first column of each table you can open a dialog for changing the parameters. Changes are possible only when logged in.
