Supervisory System Design and Implementation of Automatic Illumination Control for Dimmable Flat LED Lighting Devices in Buildings [PDF]

(Received August 30, 2016; Accepted December 27, 2016)

Keywords: modbus protocol, illumination sensor, LED lighting, data acquisition

In this paper, we provide a supervisory control strategy in conjunction with a programmable logic controller (PLC) and remote input/output (I/O) module to reduce the electrical power consumption of a lighting system. The illumination devices are upgraded to flat LED lights with an AC/DC driver and a remote I/O module. Then a PLC with Ethernet and RS-485 interface is programmed to provide an automatic illumination mechanism with sensor feedback and gateway function for the supervisory control system. The host control and monitoring system includes the industrial Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) software, which provides a user-friendly human–machine interface. Finally, the proposed approach has been successfully applied at the power supervisory control laboratory in Cheng Shiu University (Taiwan).
