SIDEREA groupCONTROL for on-demand control of Smart City lighting

Tridonic has added groupCONTROL functionality to its SIDEREA solution for efficient lighting in smart cities. The new system enables groups of up to 60 luminaires to be controlled centrally and autonomously in urban outdoor lighting systems like parks or along cycle and pedestrian paths.

With the aid of sensors or programmed schedules, urban areas can be illuminated reliably and on demand. With the capable of controlling Tunable White luminaires, cities is provided with a flexible daylight-dependent lighting. The solution comprises all the components needed to connect to central management systems and Smart City platforms, including sensors, drivers, communication modules, wireless modules and gateways.

A vital component of groupCONTROL is the Multi Master Controller CIS 30 DA RF, the first controller on the market to be Zhaga D4 certified. It also regulates the connection to the luminaire with a Zhaga-compliant connector. The CIS 30 DA RF controller controls up to eight DALI-DT6 channels as well as the integrated ambient light sensor which opens up for dynamic light scenes. The intelligent system can be seamlessly integrated in an IoT network via a cloud gateway thus ensures a scalability for future possibilities of this smart system.

The groupCONTROL programmer enables groups of local outdoor lighting installations to be put into operation on site. The configTOOL app is designed to make commissioning and maintaining groups of luminaires as easy as possible for OEMs, system integrators and municipal authorities thanks to user-friendly elements such as map support, a live test function and an assistant for integrating motion sensors. With the configTOOL app the system can be conveniently controlled from any location – via a smartphone, tablet or laptop.
