LLC Mode in iSMA Configurator

The iSMA Configurator offers some specific features to manage the light level control mode in the iSMA-B-2D device. There are five specifically designed tabs to configure lighting, occupancy and lux sensors settings to enable proper operation of the LLC mechanism.

Lighting 1 and Lighting 2 Tabs

In the LLC mode both Lighting tabs work the same as in the DALI mode with 2 differences:

  • The Lighting mode field now reads the LLC mode if the iSMA-B-2D device is set to LLC;
  • Both Dimming State and Setpoint fields for separate ballasts are read-only.

Lighting tabs 1 and 2 for devices working in the LLC mode

LLC Tab

The LLC tab includes fields to configure parameters of the light level control mode. Each of these parameters has a default value set for the automatic algorithm that normally operates the LLC mode; this specifically refers to the Kp, Ki, Kd, and Offset parameters, which configure the operation of the PID loop controlling the LLC algorithm.

  • LLC Zone Count: switches between 1 and 2 zones;
  • Setpoint (for each zone): sets the setpoint value for the light intensity;
  • Kp (for each zone): adjusts the proportional response of the PID controller;
  • Ki (for each zone): adjusts the integral response of the PID controller;
  • Kd (for each zone): adjusts the derivative response of the PID controller;
  • Offset (for zone 2): sets the output offset between DALI lines in single zone mode.

PIR Sensors Tab

The PIR Sensors tab allows to set parameters for each sensor connected to digital inputs:

  • Input Name: displays inputs that PIR sensors should be connected to: if the LLC mode is enabled, the DI3, DI4 are displayed, in other modes DI1, DI2 are displayed;
  • Input State: displays a current physical state of the input;
  • Input Blocking: blocks or unblocks the input;
  • PIR Type: sets the input type (NC/NO);
  • Control Mode: displays the DALI line, which the sensor corresponds to;
  • PIR Off Delay: sets the time without PIR detection (counted from finished dimming), after which the light should be turned off;
  • PIR Dimm Time: sets the time without PIR detection, after which the light dims to the set level;
  • PIR Dimm Level: sets the proportional level to which the light should get dimmed;
  • PIR Status: displays the sensors statuses.

LUX Sensors Tab

New tab was added titled “LUX Sensors” for configuring lux sensors parameters with following fields:

  • Input Name: displays inputs that lux sensors should be connected to: S1, S2 for the LLC mode, ‘-‘ for both sensors otherwise;
  • Input value: displays the current state read from the input;
  • Sensor Type: sets the sensors type:
    • Available options: 0-10 V, 0-5 V, 2-10 V, 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA;
  • Enable: enables or disables individual sensors;
  • Min: sets the low limit of lux sensors read range;
  • Max: sets the high limit of lux sensors read range;
  • Lux: displays the lux value read from the sensor.
