An introduction to the Philips Dynalite control system 4

The system

Engineering philosophy

In a typical load controller, the box is fed with a single or three-phase mains supply. The supply then usually travels through a

thermal magnetic circuit breaker for sub-circuit protection, then through the controlling device (either a dimmer or a relay),

then directly out to the load. The relay or dimmer is controlled by a microprocessor contained in the load controller. The

DyNet network, which links all load controllers and peripheral devices, features distributed intelligence - ie. every device on

thenetworkstoresinit’smemoryeverythingitneedstoknowinordertooperate.Thebenetofthisisthattotalfailure

associated with centralised processors is eliminated.

Specically,aloadcontrollerknows;

1 – It’s own address

2 – The name of each of it’s physical channels

3 – The area or room that each channel is in

4– The output level of each preset scene

5 – Other setup and conguration information

For example, a four-channel load controller would contain the following information;

Channel Name Area Preset 1 Preset 2 Preset 3 Preset 4

1 Wall Washers 2 (Boardroom) 100% 40% 50% 0%

2 Table Downlights 2 (Boardroom) 0% 100% 0% 100%

3 Desk Lighting 3 (Reception) 100% 50% 20% 0%

4 Fluorescent Troffers 4 (Hallway) 100% 70% 40% 0%
