Abstract
This paper describes a lighting network proposal, named LightNet, for remote monitoring and controlling of lighting nodes, being lighting lamps and local environment sensors. The network is based on the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus protocol. The LightNet was experimentally implemented using CAN 2.0A with only six network node, but the proposal can be expanded up to 2048 nodes. The LightNet system software allows defined network functions be featured through one personal computer (PC) connected to the lighting network. Experimental tests were made for the defined network functions and according to obtained results the proposed LightNet performed the established functions successfully allowing in this way the implementation of a novel fully functional CAN bus lighting network with a reliable two wire remote control. Applications for LightNet are building management or studio lighting where lamps control is required for saving energy consumption, performing lamp maintenance or creating precision lighting effects.
本文提出了一种照明网络方案LightNet,用于远程监测和控制照明节点,即照明灯具和局部环境传感器。网络基于CAN (Controller Area network)总线协议。LightNet在实验中使用CAN 2.0A实现,只有6个网络节点,但该提案可以扩展到2048个节点。LightNet系统软件允许通过一台连接到照明网络的个人计算机(PC)来实现定义的网络功能。对定义的网络功能进行了实验测试,根据所获得的结果,所提出的LightNet成功地执行了既定的功能,从而允许以这种方式实现具有可靠的双线远程控制的新型全功能CAN总线照明网络。LightNet的应用是建筑管理或工作室照明,其中需要灯具控制以节省能源消耗,执行灯具维护或创建精确的照明效果。
