BACNET

It has the ability to present its status information and receive commands in BACnet protocol form. In addition, it supports the automated testing of DALI based Emergency luminaries and Signs.
When utilized for lighting control and lighting status display application (i.e. no emergency testing), it takes the role of bus master on the RS485 spine linking a number of RB2000s each of which drives an MLS bus capable of supporting up to 100 separate lighting zones comprised of up to 200 individual presence detectors with photocells.

Features & Benefits:
▪ Automated testing of self contained and DALI based Emergency luminaires.
▪ System shell mode enables basic engineering tasks to be performed on the MLS Controller platform without the need to use the web browser.
▪ Enhanced cyber security offering greater protection.
▪ Ability to run V3.8 Trend and Centraline drivers on the same device which potentially reduces infrastructure costs.

Client Machine Configuration
The client machine is the computer from which you launch the MLS application using a web browser. This requires the client machine to have a network address which is compatible with the IP address of the MLSUC500 / 1250.
Automated Emergency Lighting Test
The MLSUC500 / 1250 supports automated testing of self contained and DALI based Emergency luminaires. By connecting the Emergency luminaires to individual channels of the LCM, you can create automated test schedules for those luminaires. The channels of the LCM are individually addressable and hence any failures in the Emergency luminaires can be reported back to the MLS application.
