DC PowerLine communication Today, most lighting systems provide energy inefficient constant, unregulated light output. To reduce energy consumption it is beneficial to incorporate lighting control, the most common methods being 1–10 V, DALI and DMX control. However, these control protocols necessitate the installation of additional wiring, which is often problematic when renovating a lighting system. DC Power Line Communication offers a smart way by which to transform existing old-fashioned installations into intelligent lighting systems. Communication between the luminaires and control devices is transmitted using a special modem which superimposes a communication signal on the DC supply voltage. On the recipient side the same modem is used to demodulate the signal. The modem uses a high frequency carrier signal which offers high bandwidths of up to 57.6 kBd. When used in combination with the patented CPS protocol, you can have an advanced solution not only suitable for lighting control, but also for ambient monitoring, conditional access systems and even simple surveillance systems. In lighting, the CPS (Central Power Source) powers and controls all connected luminaires and auxiliary devices such as sensors and input units along the DC power lines. Each CPS has an integrated 48 V DC source with a maximum rated power output of 2400 W. CPS offers protection against short circuits, overheating and overloading as well as monitoring temperature and current consumption and informing users about when power sources need replacing. The power drawn from the CPS Master Unit varies according to the current consumption of the luminaires. The CPS Master Unit can be equipped with a basic or advanced user interface. In the picture you can see an example of the advanced user interface. At the bottom of the Graphical User Interface (GUI) are control buttons that allow you to control the lighting installation. By pressing the buttons you can control and monitor either the whole system (ALL button), one of the groups (GROUP X button) or individual luminaires (1, 2, and 3, etc. buttons). In the top right corner is shown real-time information about the system, chosen group of fixtures or chosen fixture. In the bottom right corner are placed buttons for brightness and CCT control.

DC PowerLine communication
Today, most lighting systems provide energy inefficient constant, unregulated light output. To reduce energy consumption it is beneficial to incorporate lighting control, the most common methods being 1–10 V, DALI and DMX control. However, these control protocols necessitate the installation of additional wiring, which is often problematic when renovating a lighting system. DC Power Line Communication offers a smart way by which to transform existing old-fashioned installations into intelligent lighting systems. Communication between the luminaires and control devices is transmitted using a special modem which superimposes a communication signal on the DC supply voltage. On the recipient side the same modem is used to demodulate the signal. The modem uses a high frequency carrier signal which offers high bandwidths of up to 57.6 kBd. When used in combination with the patented CPS protocol, you can have an advanced solution not only suitable for lighting control, but also for ambient monitoring, conditional access systems and even simple surveillance systems. In lighting, the CPS (Central Power Source) powers and controls all connected luminaires and auxiliary devices such as sensors and input units along the DC power lines. Each CPS has an integrated 48 V DC source with a maximum rated power output of 2400 W. CPS offers protection against short circuits,
overheating and overloading as well as monitoring temperature and current consumption and informing users about when power sources need replacing. The power drawn from the CPS Master Unit varies according to the current consumption of the luminaires.
