routers in the network receive these telegrams simultaneously and use their routing tables to determine whether to forward the telegram to the connected KNX line. The routing protocol can be used to connect an unlimited number of visualisation devices to a KNX installation with an IP backbone, but does not support the bus monitor function. Object server: from the telegram to the data point The Weinzierl KNX IP Router 750 (left) and how it can be used for KNXnet/IP routing.
suitable for remote access over the Internet. It can also be used to connect a visualisation device to a bus line. The tunnelling protocol supports the bus monitor function. Routing in hierarchical architectures A major motivation for the extension of the KNX system using Ethernet/IP was to increase the transmission capacity of the overall system. While the transmission speed of KNX TP is perfectly adequate to build a bus line with up to 256 participants, a much higher bandwidth may be required in the backbone. This is especially the case when central devices such as visualisation tools are connected, to which all telegrams must be transferred. In this case, there can be no selective
routing. Here, the high bandwidth of a LAN network offers an optimal solution. While with KNX TP a maximum of only 50 telegrams can be transmitted per second, transmission via LAN exceeds 10,000 telegrams at 10Mb/s. To process this traffic without loss, high computational power in addition to an adequate telegram buffer from IP to KNX TP is required. Since Ethernet forms the backbone of the system, a corresponding protocol was standardised in KNX. The routing subtopic of the KNXnet/ IP specification describes how KNX/ IP routers forward telegrams via IP. For forwarding via Ethernet, the KNX telegrams are individually packed in UDP/IP telegrams and sent as multicast telegrams. All KNX/IP
For an increasing number of devices, such as in the areas of multimedia and security technology, it is important to be able to exchange control information with the building automation system. However, for certain devices, it would preferable to access the bus indirectly by establishing a connection to the KNX system via Ethernet. Communication via Ethernet is particularly interesting for devices that are already equipped with a network port. If the protocol stack for TCP/ UDP/IP already exists in the operating system, applications can communicate with other devices via Ethernet with little additional effort and thus also with KNX. This applies to many devices based on Linux or Windows CE. If you were to use tunnelling or routing as a solution, the devices would be able to access the KNX network but would still have to generate and interpret KNX
telegrams. It is far simpler for the KNX/IP interface to take over this task. In addition to the standard interface functionality, which enables access to the KNX bus on the telegram level, the KNX IP BAOS (Bus Access and Object Server) provides direct access to the data points (communication objects) of the building. In other words, the KNX stack in the device assigns the received data packets to their associated communication objects and holds their values in memory. Registered clients are automatically informed of any changes to the data points. The communication object values are automatically updated upon receipt, even when clients are not connected. This allows, for example, a smartphone to instantly access the state of the KNX bus from the BAOS device, without loading the network with a burst of read requests. In order to send data to the bus, a client has write access to the communication objects. The device can independently generate and send group messages. The configuration of the data points within the BAOS device is performed with the ETS, in which the device appears as a conventional bus participant. Within the parameters dialogue, the data types of the communication objects can be set and the group addresses are assigned as usual. Using the BAOS protocol, a client

The Next LED Revolution is Control
xCella by Acuity Controls

ith efficacy and service life steadily increasing and costs declining by about 18 percent each year (Memoori, 2014), the LED revolution continues to develop at a rapid pace. LED’s inherent compatibility with digital control, aided by other trends, is setting the stage for the next LED revolution: smart lighting control.
The primary driver is energy consumption with a bonus that dimming LEDs can extend service life by reducing lumen depreciation and delaying color shift. As more states adopt a commercial building energy code based on the ASHRAE/IES 90.1-2010 energy standard, demand will continue to increase for controllable lighting.
Many LED products are sold with dimming capability regardless of how the owner plans to control them. Drivers and controls are easily integrated. With smart lighting control, luminaires themselves can become addressable nodes in a network, transforming lighting from dumb, fixed-output systems into intelligent, highly flexible systems. That, and a networking platform incorporating other building functions.
Besides these requirements, there is evidence owners and specifiers want more controllability. The Sylvania 2010 Commercial Lighting Survey found that 42% of its facility manager, lighting designer and other decision-maker respondents considered easier dimming and control of LEDs a major benefit. The smart lighting trend started with conventional lighting. Digital hardwired lighting control provides
Cree’s SmartCast Technology Lighting Controls
the benefits of individual luminaire addressability, control zoning and rezoning using software, instant setup and remote calibration, and two-way communication providing performance analytics. The advent of digital wireless control simplifies design and installation, facilitates penetration of sophisticated lighting control options in existing construction, and extends control to plug loads. The miniaturization of control devices enables integration of sensors and controllers within each luminaire. Finally, easier color control of LED lighting provides a new dimension of lighting control, which is white light color tuning; the applications for this capability, currently limited, may explode based on developing research into lighting’s relationship to health. These trends, coupled with inherent compatibility with digital LED devices, laid the groundwork for greater adoption of intelligent lighting control as demand for LED lighting continues to accelerate. They are being tied together into complete solutions featuring luminaires and controls as well as standalone control solutions. Let’s look at some recently introduced solutions as examples, starting with Cree’s SmartCast Technology, available with select Cree luminaires or other luminaires with dimmable drivers, and Philips Lighting’s SpaceWise Technology, currently available as an option for the company’s DuaLED luminaires
targeting open office applications. Both feature luminaire-integrated occupancy and daylight sensing, two-way wireless mesh communication, and push-button setup with a handheld remote. These solutions offer a potentially simple, costeffective path to energy code compliance and energy savings of 50-70 percent compared to conventional uncontrolled T8 luminaires. Acuity Controls’ XPoint and xCella wireless control solutions offer options as a standalone system or ability to work with other controls to enable implementation of a wireless or hybrid/wireless system offering integration with building management systems and monitoring and analytics software. While XPoint was developed lighting management and building applications, xCella targets room-based lighting, HVAC and plug loads, with the potential for networking between rooms. Cooper Lighting’s LumaWatt solution, designed as a control platform for roadway, parking and outdoor area LED luminaires, features integral and/ or remote sensors, scheduling, power metering and maintenance diagnostics. Control solutions such as these bring the best of lighting control and LED illumination together in a way that maximizes energy savings, facilitates asset management, and simplifies implementation. But the best may be yet to come.

LED lighting has been called the “Trojan Horse” of the Internet of Things, and we’re at the frontier of this extraordinary revolution. The Internet of Things consists of uniquely identifiable objects represented within a network similar to the Internet. Digital lighting control networks already satisfy this definition but reflect only a fraction of the true potential to add value. What makes the LED luminaire a Trojan Horse is it offers the ability to serve as infrastructure for additional onboard equipment and sensors that can collect and share temperature, occupancy and other data, opening a wide range of new applications. The real potential is to expand lighting’s value proposition from energy savings and longevity toward data and the business value that data can unlock. What might this look like? In a commercial building, occupancy sensing (which could be video) embedded in LED luminaires could enhance security and building and resource management by monitoring internal traffic and spatial occupancy. In retail stores, sensors could track everything happening on store floors. In parking lots, sensors could guide visitors to open parking stalls and enhance security. Roadway and street lighting could collect traffic, temperature and pollution information. The list goes on. The result is lighting that collects local data useful for strategic management and accumulates big data that fuels strategic ideas.

Besides collecting information, LED lighting can also be designed to enable communication with users. This could be as simple as incorporating public address capability in public spaces and as sophisticated as using visible light to talk to user mobile phones and camera-enabled tablets using downloaded apps. Acuity, GE and Philips are all demonstrating visible light communication solutions, which will allow owners such as big box retail stores to communicate with shoppers for wayfinding and targeted messaging.
that generates big data, expands capabilities and adds business value in new ways. Lighting control is ready to play; the next stage in the game is integration—LED lighting as infrastructure, a platform.
Smart LED lighting takes the conversation about light from providing desired light levels for the lowest cost toward the benefits of total control. Lighting
We’re in the most exciting period in the history of the lighting industry, and the revolution is just getting started.
Cooper Controls Introduces Room Controller Lighting Control System Cooper Controls recently announced the launch of its new Room Controller lighting control system. The system incorporates occupancy sensing, daylighting, receptacle control, demand response and manual controls as well as, a patent-pending, Underwriter Laboratory 924 listed relay and integral skylight control all integrated into one comprehensive solution.The Room Controller system has been developed to meet the unique and evolving energy codes and lighting control needs of private offices, open office spaces, conference rooms, classrooms and patient rooms. In addition to allowing for precise lighting controls, the system is designed to save energy and time during installation thanks to its quick connect cable and pre-configured components. Additionally, components of the Room Controller system, which include the room controller device, occupancy sensors, daylighting sensors and wallstations, include built-in lighting scenes, as well as daylighting and occupancy sensing settings tailored to particular applications types. The technology behind the Room Controller device includes two patent-pending elements designed to further enhance lighting controls. The first is its integral UL 924 relay that allows emergency lights to be dimmed or switched like non-emergency fixtures under normal power conditions, without the extra materials and labor traditionally needed. The other is an integral Solatube connection. This built-in, tubular lighting control will control adjustable skylights from company Solatube International without additional interfaces. In addition to lighting control, the Room Controller system also provides the demand response and receptacle control functionalities required by the latest building codes. The system arrives preconfigured with four energy reduction scenarios that can be used as part of a demand response strategy, exceeding the 2013 Title 24 requirements for demand response. Receptacle control capabilities, as required in ASHRAE 90.1-2010, are built into each system to ensure non-essential receptacle loads are turned OFF when the space is vacant.

ompany presentED 90 new products – with an advisory council of tradespeople involved in their development The Saarbrücken company f-tronic presented 90 new products at once right at the start of Light & Building 2014. "We are expanding our range in a very targeted manner with the interests of our customers in the trade in mind", explains managing director Achim S. Dawedeit with respect to the latest product offensive. "This puts us in the position to offer electricians innovative, easily installable, Made in Germany products, in cooperation with our wholesale partners.“ In actual terms, f-tronic is expanding the existing range of boxes, terminals and cabinets by a complete range of concrete boxes. These boxes have been developed by practitioners for practitioners and will save valuable time in their installation. In addition to this there are also many other new products such as a cavity wall electronics box and one-piece two- to five-fold multiboxes. A third focus is on our thermally insulated electrical systems (TIE). A new production process and new tools have made these elements 2.0 even more robust, and cheaper at the same time. Our motto "installing innovation" also stands for further optimizations in the logistical and delivery capacities of f-tronic. Further improvements on the software side ensure that the projecting, production and delivery of a meter cabinet can be completed in three working days. New developments supported by
advisory council of tradespeople In 2013, f-tronic established an advisory council of tradespeople who will from now on be actively involved in the improvement of existing products and the development of new ones. "We make our products for the tradespeople on the site", explains Dawedeit. "It is therefore important for us to pay attention to their daily experiences and integrate them in our development work. This helps us ensure improvements that have a high utility value for practitioners, which we can then provide in cooperation with our wholesalers." A strategy that also continues to propel f-tronic forward internationally. Besides its classic export markets in Austria, Switzerland, western Europe, the Czech Republic and Poland, the company is now also successfully making inroads in new markets, as is demonstrated by the new agencies abroad in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. At Light & Building, f-tronic will be presenting its complete new product range to a specialist audience, along with the familiar range, of course. At booth D11 in hall 8.0, visitors will be able to experience the product-related and logistical know-how of these experts from the Saarland region at first hand.

LC GmbH introduces a new ZENARO series of high quality T8 LED tubes. The ZENARO T8 PREMIUM Series, including its EU-designed power supply, is manufactured in Europe.
T
The outstanding quality of each component used and a 20-25% lower power consumption compared to common T8 retrofit solutions, which also translates favourably into lower heat generation, significantly increase the product lifetime of T8 PREMIUM LED tubes which is 60.000 hours. The warranty period is five years and the luminous efficacy approx. 120 lm/W.
The luminaire, a detail that can reflect and integrate within architecture with the purest form that will enhance and add value to its environment, requires a deep understanding of the intrinsic nature and unified components of architectural styles.
ZENARO’ dimmable T8 PREMIUM is break-proof, insensitive to vibration and ideally suited for completely enclosed fixtures in damp, wet and dusty rooms in industrial and commercial environments like damp-proof diffuser luminaires. Preferred fields of application are indoor surroundings like warehouses, car parks including multi-storey and underground car parks, baths and spas, and general lighting in offices, shops and municipal buildings like schools.

he design of our collection represents a way of thinking that reduces each product to the essential components without compromise. Luminance and illumination are the primary goals.
These components can be condensed into basic forms, which Kreon exploits within its products. This approach to design requires that the details of an object are not merely decorative, but are key to the essence of the product as a whole. Kreon products, in their simplest forms, do not result in austere minimalism, but in architectural objects that communicate with space, regardless of style. This, combined with careful planning, represents the true meaning of "architectural lighting". Kreon, purity in light gives you the opportunity to create the conditions that allow the beauty of architecture to surface.

Concepts 2014 With the importance of landscape and architectural outdoor lighting arriving at the same level as indoor lighting, Kreon reveals two new outdoor luminaires: Esprit and Raga. The light cast from these luminaires, their design and the choice of material, merge together to form two individual luminaires, ambitioning an aesthetic signaling function, loyal to the values Kreon strives for.
