Also new is Dynalite's powerful suite of PC software DLightIII, which combines intuitive user control features with monitoring and reporting facilities, providing the ultimate control solution for energy management and architectural applications, says the company.
DLightIII's 'MapView' is the front end of the powerful software and is a user-friendly master configuration, control and reporting tool that utilises site floorplan backdrops for intuitive navigation. It allows preset scenes to be easily selected and provides a true reflection of system status in real time. Smart icons automatically reflect the status of each device as it monitors individual fixtures for early detection of lamp failures and calculates lamp run times etc.
DLightIII's 'TrayPan', client software, resides in the tool tray of any users desktop PC and uses the existing building LAN to communicate with DLIII Server. It enables an office worker to control the switching and illuminance level of his or her workstation without leaving the desk.
DLightIII 'Server' provides high-level integration and control options to Dynalite's DyNet network via Ethernet. The DyNet network is connected to a PCs COM or USB port and information is exchanged via client software running on the server PC or clients connecting remotely over the Ethernet network using TCP/IP. Integration to other services is made simple via the use of a set of calls for an industry standard DCOM interface. It is an inexpensive solution for providing occupants of open plan office space with control over their local environment.
