In combination with the company’s flagship DLight III Server, MapView provides users with a scalable and simple-to-use software application, delivering facility-wide lighting control, programming and energy management functionality. Residing on any standard PC, MapView features a graphical user interface, which provides a detailed pictorial representation of the controlled space, and allows operators to intuitively configure and monitor all load devices on the network. Here, users can drill down to individual lighting circuits, channels and luminaires, and execute a change with a single mouse click.
MapView enables operators to program complex lighting tasks into automated macros, make manual changes quickly and easily, implement timed/scheduled events, access a wide range of performance and device-condition data, and perform automated lighting tests. It also automatically identifies and enumerates all DALI ballasts on the network, including emergency fittings.
MapView’s scalability makes re-commissioning or making changes to the lighting control system straightforward. DALI ballasts can be re-grouped, channels taken on or offline, and sequential or conditional tasks created via the MapView software. This is especially valuable in buildings that experience ‘building churn’, or are flexible in their layout and functionality.
