Light Control System

Project Introduction:

My customer wants to have a SCADA system to connect with the National two way lights controller in IKEA building. There are too many loop control signals connect to the National hardware. We got to show all of the light status, light group status. Light control and group control function. They also need to have a scheduling system to define the light group turn on or off schedules by calendar.

System Requirement:

Advantech Studio (SCADA)

National two way light controller

National two way light controller OPC SERVER 2.0

Scheduling System

1 personal computer (OS：WINDOWS XP)

Conclusions:

In super market or the commercial buildings, nearly all of them use National or Toshiba two way light control system to manage thousands of lights. The customers and the SCADA are different all the time. But the OPC Server are the same. They all use OPCTechs National two way light controller OPC server 2.0 to combine with different kind of SCADA. Besides, most of the SCADA do not have the scheduling function, so we use VB to design the scheduling system and combine with OPC and SCADA. Most of my customers satisfy this system by using this solution.
