What is KNX?

What is DALI?

DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) lighting systems leverage

DALI-controlled fixtures and controllers throughout all building interiors.
DALI Lighting Controllers, ballasts, transformers, drivers, emergency
fittings and other electronic control gears and devices shall be fully
complied with IEC 62386 standards. Easily reconfigurable with no need
for time-consuming and troublesome re-wiring, DALI digital lighting
systems will control and provide status updates down to individual
ballast level.

KNX is an international standard (ISO/IEC 14543, CENELEC EN 50090,

CEN EN 13321-1, GB/Z 20965) automated communications protocol
based on the widely recognized EIB (European Installation Bus), BatiBus,
and the EHS (European Home System) protocols.
In a KNX system, all bus devices (twisted pair, radio frequency, power
line or IP/Ethernet) are connected and able to exchange information.
Such bus devices can be either be the sensors or actuators needed to
control essential building management equipment. Specific examples
include: lighting, blinds/shutters, security, energy management, heating,
ventilation and air-conditioning, signaling and monitoring systems,
interfaces to service and building control technologies, remote control
and metering, etc. KNX ultimately simplifies the control, monitoring and
signaling of all of these features via a uniform system that requires no
extra control centers.

A DALI ballast is an intelligent device that can be configured to

remember its power-on status, maximum, minimum and system
failure levels, plus fade rates and times. DALI ballasts are controllable
by messages sent individually, by group or on a system wide basis. A
DALI lighting system will also report the output level of every one of its
ballasts and operational status of every one of its ballasts and lamps. It
can also automatically test emergency fittings and report their status.

What is C-Bus?
Input Devices
Wall
Switches

C-Bus is a microprocessor based wiring system that controls lighting

and other electrical services. In addition to activating and deactivating
lighting circuits and analogue-type controls such as dimming electronic
fluorescent ballasts, C-Bus will control and automate virtually any type of
electrical load.
To ensure faster more reliable operation, each C-Bus device has its own
in-built microprocessor. These components can either be individually
programmed via point and click PC-based software or through an
in-built/integral PC-free Learn Mode. Optimal communications speed
and reliability are ensured because all C-Bus system information is held
within individual C-Bus devices rather than at one central point. Whilst
no computer is needed for normal C-Bus operations, C-Bus PC-based
control and management software is available should you require
further control flexibility.

Shopping mall applications

Public areas
Lighting Control solutions in larger or multi-storey shopping malls
often utilize natural lighting levels to further cut energy costs. Such
systems also serve as a single integrated pre-programmable platform
via which to control air conditioning, escalators/lifts, security, irrigation
and more. This gives building management staff far more flexibility in
monitoring their system.

Back of house
As storage, utility and rest rooms are used intermittently, sensors
are an excellent way of maximizing lighting energy efficiencies and
minimizing electricity bills.

Restaurants & bars

Restaurants & bars need to exude a unique air of sophistication and
style. At night, flexibly controllable lighting scenes enable the creation
of separate zones that offer different dining experiences within each
area of the restaurant.
Architectural dimmers are totally compatible with these aims and
ensure seamless control in almost any environment. Such systems are
also purpose-designed to dim large numbers of lights and will heighten
any desired architectural lighting effect.

Exteriors
Exterior and feature lighting at entrances, ornamental gardens and
lobbies plays a vital role in a malls overall visual presentation to
visitors. To ensure malls always make the best possible impression,
C-Bus provides seamless integration and lighting transitions
via a DMX interface gateway which is compatible with many
manufacturers LED lights and theatrical equipment.

Retail outlets
Retail stores require very specific control features and need easy-tooperate and flexible lighting control systems that can be adjusted to
seasonal changes.

Showrooms
The control of many down and display lights requires a high
powered professional dimmer.
The perfect complement to dim lighting goals, C-Bus dimmers can
also be used to create spectacular lighting effects.

Sympholux Shopping Mall Solution Guide 8

Shopping Malls
Dimming & Scene Control
Forward-looking retailers understand the value of creating a unique
shopping experience through the effective choice of colour schemes,
layouts, displays and of course lighting. The ultimate aim is to entice
shoppers to investigate showrooms, market halls and aisles.
Schneider Electrics Sympholux Lighting Control meets all shopping malls
essential energy efficiency, operation and maintenance needs. As lighting is
a proven means of quickly lowering energy consumption and can cut costs
by between 25 to 50%, our teams integrate all control features associated
with lighting via a centralized intelligent control panel or a distributed
system. Specific inclusions in such systems include occupancy detection,
dimming, daylight linking and scene-setting.

Dimmers are the ideal way to enable architectural lighting goals and in
addition to creating extraordinary lighting effects can be used to control
large numbers or down and display lights. Such a large-scale dimming
capability will also help conserve energy and further reduce power bills.
Our rugged, top-quality C-Bus dimmers utilize advanced phase control
switching to ensure cooler operation and higher reliability.
Our Scene Controls can also be used to operate several device series
and set multiple levels or actions via one command and are typically
used to:
Create mood lighting and quickly transform in-mall ambience.
Schedule-switch or dim several lighting areas at a days start or end.
Enable/disable occupancy sensors when moving from working to nonworking hours control.

Daylight Harvesting

Control and Management System

Daylight harvesting saves energy by continually monitoring and

adjusting artificial and natural lighting to enhance occupants comfort by
eliminating variations in lux levels.
Light level sensors are used to determine lighting levels according to
the sunlight filtering through windows in specific areas. Should a dimmer
detect less than optimal artificial brightness in an area, it brightens lights
to the desired brightness value. Similarly, when natural brightness begins
to fade outdoors, the lighting control system adjusts the artificial light
in small steps. Should they wish to, users can override these automatic
light controls by means of a simple push-button.

This system enables lighting to be activated and controlled via a

combination of manual and automatic time scheduling, photoelectric
and movement sensors. Such systems save energy by automatically
deactivating lighting via a central control panel while still providing
manual on/off controllable local light switches.
Schneider Electric also provides malls with total master controls that
radiate out from a central point such as a security control room. These
master systems enable at-a-glance monitoring of properties entire
lighting installations and ensure quick, efficient troubleshooting of
potential problems. The end result is reliable control and monitoring
of both the malls lighting network and complete security system.
Integrating Citect SCADE facilities will further add to operators ability to
provide trouble-free delivery of safe, cost-effective and reliable control.

Outdoors

Light Level Sensor

In this system, all controlled areas and loads are displayed on a PC

across multiple windows via labels initiated by end-users with current
load statuses shown in real time. Since all essential information relating
to each load is accessible via the touch of a button, end-users can easily
determine if a load is on, off, being dimmed to a particular level or being
automatically controlled via the light level sensor. Each loads status is
then easily adjustable at the touch of a button.

Occupancy Control
Graphic User Interface for a shopping mall

Occupancy sensors are frequently used to deactivate lighting or other

loads when people leave a specific area of a building unattended. Such
sensors are often combined with a wall switch to offer a choice of both
manual and automatic activation/deactivation means. As a result, users
occupying an area can manually control lighting without having to worry
about wasting electricity by burning unnecessary lights when the areas
are left unoccupied. Other infrequently occupied rooms such as staff
and rest rooms can use occupancy sensors to completely eliminate wall
switches altogether.

Public Areas
Sympholux lighting control platforms combine all public lighting
requirements and can be activated via a combination of manual
switches and/or automatic controls via time scheduling, light level or
occupancy sensors.
Brightly-lit public areas consume vast amounts of energy all night, every
night. Usually scheduled to activate via a light level sensor, public area
lighting control systems will deliver an extra dimension of flexibility. In
ramping up lighting gradually rather than instantly, they will also reduce
energy consumption and extend light fittings operational life.
Lighting circuits can be monitored via a central location to ensure
everything is functioning correctly and that circuits that fail can
immediately be identified. Exhaust fans can also be teamed with the
same system network to provide one control point for all services.

Showrooms

DALI Controller

Showroom lighting is generally provided by compact fluorescent down

lights recessed into high ceiling cavities. Such lights require flexible
dimming and control and should ideally be capable of DMX control
and integration with audio visual systems. C-Bus architectural dimmers
are fully compatible with, and can ensure seamless control of, any
environment. They are also purpose-designed to dim large numbers
of lights and will make it easy for operators to achieve their ideal
architectural lighting effects.
A perfect complement to architectural lighting goals, dimmers can be
used to create truly spectacular lighting effects. Their ability to dim
vast numbers of lights will also conserve energy usage and lower power
bills. C-Bus rugged high quality dimmers utilize advanced phase control
switching to further cool operations and enhance reliability.

Override here is generally made via a touch-screen located in a
centralized location whose menu is only accessible via a secure
password. Such systems also allow for quick identification of lighting
zones and rooms located through the building and simple disarming of
sensors or existing programs.
External signage and flood lights can also be controlled by Schneider
Electrics lighting control systems. For further savings, some lights are
designed to activate at dusk while all non-security lights turn off at
1.00am each morning.

Retail Shops
Shop fit-outs are a retailers secret weapon in creating a memorable
shopping experience for customers. Lighting, music and audio visual
displays all play a vital role in establishing the shops brand and attitude
and increasing visitors by offering a bright and inviting environment.
When used in retail environments, C-Bus can be designed to provide
a mix of localized light, music and master controls. Schneider Electric
audio solutions are another discreet way for retailers to provide
background music to various parts of their shops. Multi-room audio
(MRA) systems that enable simple, one-button activation of lighting,
music and audio-visual displays and screens are also available and can
be fully integrated into almost any automation network.

Restaurants & Bars

C-Bus Multi-room
audio

Restaurants and Bars exude a unique air of sophistication and style. At

night, flexible control of lighting scenes is essential in creating different
spaces offering unique ambiences and dining experiences within the
restaurant.

C-Bus DLT

In this establishment, touch-screens installed at the reception desk

provide automated control of all lighting, air conditioning and motorized
blinds on the premises southern windows. Controlling all chandeliers
and down lights, pre-set modes have been programmed to customize
specific moods such as early evening, cloudy night, sunny day, shut
down and cleaning modes for different areas of the restaurant.
Hosting everything from business seminars to social gatherings,
VIP rooms must offer both scheduling managers and patrons great
versatility. Ultimately, almost all systems must also offer flexible dimming
and lighting control. Compatible with audio visual systems, Sympholux
lighting control ensures seamless control of almost any event in almost
any environment.

C-Bus MRA simplifies the provision of a single stand-alone amplifier

with a connection for an MP3 player and provides on/off and volume
controls via any C-Bus DLT (Dynamic Labelling Technology) or touchscreen. These single zones can be expanded to include a singlechannel Audio Distribution Unit (ADU) which will enable the amplifier to
retain both a local MP3 player and a secondary input. As these ADUs
also have the ability to use Infra-red (IR) reticulation via the amplifier,
any second device can also be controlled remotely.
Multi-room, multi-source music means operators can tailor different
music to specific areas at varying volumes. The number of areas may
vary dramatically depending upon the size of each installation. To
ensure systems can play separate music sources in different zones
simply requires a matrix switcher to co-ordinate and route sources.

15 Sympholux Shopping Mall Solution Guide

C-Bus DLT

Other system control panels enable control of lighting via an

attractively-designed Dynamic Labelling Technology (DLT) system
mounted in the bar table or front desk workstation. Individual switches
linked to the DLT systems touch-screens can also be used to control a
single space or a number of zones. The impressive end result is a very
simple and user-friendly interface via which both the restaurants staff
and event attendees enjoy simpler, more flexible control.

7. The light sensing on/off controller can

automatically control solar-protection.
If the sunshine is too strong, it will
lower the sun-shades automatically. It
prevents the indoor temperature from
increasing too high, and thus the system
will realize energy conservation.
8. The light sensing on/off controller can
automatically deal with floodlighting
and landscape lighting. When natural
light decreases, the controller will
automatically turn on the floodlighting.
When natural light becomes brighter, it
will automatically turn off the lights. The
system is easily managed and allows
conserving energy.
