Tridonic net4more toolbox: Successful practical testing at company headquartersDORNBIRN, Austria, March 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Tridonic today announced it is utilizing a smart building project to demonstrate successful practical application of its net4more toolbox for IP-based networking. net4more provides a network for the 200 connected devices – both wired via Power over Ethernet (PoE) and wireless via THREAD – Tridonic has installed at its Dornbirn headquarters. These devices include occupancy sensors, air quality sensors and illuminance sensors. In this pilot installation for net4more, Tridonic is using the existing lighting infrastructure in its headquarters as the carrier technology. The individual sensors are linked to the luminaires and form a network that is connected to the Internet and into which further devices (sensors, light points and other electronic devices) can be seamlessly integrated. The data collected is stored in the cloud and made available for analysis purposes via a documented and open interface. The toolbox uses both wired and wireless transmission paths for communication between the luminaires, sensors and IP infrastructure, and integrates a wide range of components, e.g., LED drivers, communication modules, sensors and communication infrastructure (routers, switches), on a uniform platform. net4more then makes the captured data and the control options for the connected devices available via an open interface. Power is supplied via conventional power cables or via PoE. Of particular benefit is that the solution is fully scalable and can be implemented in virtually any type of building, including large office complexes. Clear visualization Better air quality As a central platform, net4more delivers the database for further, in-depth analyses. Partner companies can use the platform to develop appropriate applications for other purposes and more detailed evaluations. The captured data therefore provides a basis for extracting solid information that can then lead to optimized humidity levels or room usage, and other concrete benefits. Practical benefits Apps offer easy use in practical applications 4commissioning – Assistance with planning and commissioning: 4commissioning can be used to plan lighting systems from the comfort of a desk and then easily commission them on site wirelessly. To this end, the authorised expert locates the individual luminaires and other subsystems via an app, assigns them accordingly and creates the required lighting scenarios and moods.
