An introduction to the Philips Dynalite control system 5
Similar to a load controller, each control panel stores in it’s memory everything in needs to know in order
to operate. When a button is pressed on the control panel, the panel sends out a message across the
network, For example, ‘Area 2 go to Preset 1 over 5 seconds’. All devices on the network listen to the
message. The load controller in the diagram would listen to the message, and respond as follows;
Channel Name Area Response
1 Wall Washers 2 (Boardroom) Ch 1 is in Area 2 and would fade from current
levelto100%overveseconds
2 Table Downlights 2 (Boardroom) Ch 2 is in Area 2 and would fade from current
levelto0%overveseconds
3 Desk Lighting 3 (Reception) Ch 3 is in Area 3 and would ignore the message
4 Fluorescent Troffers 4 (Hallway) Ch 4 is in Area 4 and would ignore the message
Note that this is the simplest form of control. Philips Dynalite’s sophisticated user control panels are capable
of more advanced functionality, such as;
1 Sequential Logic :: programmed with scripts which perform a sequence of events.
For example, ‘do’ this, ‘wait’, then ‘do’ this.
2 Conditional Logic :: programmed with conditional logic - ie. ‘if ’ this, then ‘do’ that.

The simplest form of control is to include a user control
panel to turn lights on to a preset scene.
