Lighting energy management system

Ecolinx is a plug-and-play lighting energy management solution for commercial environments. Leveraging the flexibility of structured wiring connectivity, the device provides luminaire-by-luminaire dimming and on/off lighting control for a wide range of commercial environments, from small offices to campus-sized installations.

Control intelligence of the modular system is linked via DyNet peer-to-peer serial bus network, which enables design flexibility and scalability across the building occupancy life cycle.

The core element of the system is the DBC905 high-frequency ballast controller, a lighting control module that provides nine separate structured wiring lighting circuit output channels, available in either Wieland or Modular Wiring/CMS Electracom connector formats. All connections to the module, including mains input, lighting circuit outputs and its 10 control and network inputs, are facilitated by tool-free structured wiring ports. This plug-and-play approach permits installation and post-commissioning adaptation of any Ecolinx lighting system to be carried out quickly and cost-efficiently by unskilled crews.

All nine output channels can be independently software configured to 1-10 V analog control, DSI or DALI broadcast protocols. The system provides DALI-like granularity of luminaire control and monitoring, without the complexity of a full DALI system.
