A two wire control bus cable shall link all the system devices (input, output, system support and
networking) to each other. The bus cable shall be of standard CAT5 type, and must be mains rated
since it terminates at the lighting DB which carries mains power within it. The bus cable shall
transmit data communication between all connected system devices. It shall also carry DC power to
each device. The system should support free wiring topology. Each network should be maximum of
1000m in distance, and must pack a maximum of 100 system devices depending on the network
loading parameters. The network should be designed in such a way that even in case of a short
circuit, the devices are not effected due to over current. The network should also be capable of
working on a TCP/IP backbone (riser), with a TCP/IP device at the node connecting a network to
the riser. The TCP/IP device shall be a part of the lighting management system. The riser shall
either be of copper or Optic Fiber.

Every device constituting the system shall be addressable. Addressing shall be in the form of unit
address (device address), group address (channel address) and area address (zoning). System
communication will be duplex (issuing a command and checking status), by broadc asting data
across the networks. System architecture will be a single layer, and communication – peer to peer.
Every device constituting the system shall have its own non-volatile memory that stores its
designated program. Every device shall have a LED status indicator depicting that it is active
(powered up), and communicating within the system. All system devices shall conform to CE
standards, and should be manufactured in accordance with appropriate EMC guidelines.

power supply interruptions or failure. Devices in the network should not depend on a dedicated
power supply. Even if one power supply unit were to fail, backup power supply should be available
to compensate the loss of power. Back up supply should be provided by the system power supplies,
and not by any external means.

a theatrical effect. Dimmer modules should also have a manual override facility, wherein the bus
command can be overridden. Power failure states shall be programmable. In case of bus power
failure, the dimmers should be programmable to maintain the lighting circuits at a pre determined
level. In case of mains failure, upon restoration of power, the dimmers should be able to attain a
predetermined level (as it was before power failure / 100% ON / OFF / any pre determined scene).
