Lighting control test system using DMX512 protocol

Abstract

Building automation is a complex and multifaceted process, the aim of which is essentially to provide a living space or living area that is both comfortable for its occupants and energy efficient. In general, this can be achieved by automating not just a few features, but all the physical parameters of the living space, and by managing the whole of the living space together with the building containing the living space. This is a very complex task, as it involves many different fields of science, and is therefore a time-consuming and detailed process to present and research. In this paper, I will present one possible way of lighting control using a WAGO PFC200 750-8212 controller and using DMX512 protocol. To create the test environment, I used 2 dual-channel S1-DR type AC Triac Dimmers, which are suitable for demonstrating the lighting control concept and can model the actual DMX network operation. Thus, building automation applications can be demonstrated.
