LPL is able to command dimming of LED luminaire and read the electric parameters (voltage, current, power factor, hours of work, lamp status, etc). Reading working values allows quick detection from remote control center of faults and deterioration of lamp. Allows as well remote switching on and off. It is as well possible to execute every day an automatic cycle made by 5 actions (on, off, dimming %) at preset time.

Communication is performed through Power Line technology to the LPM module installed in the feeder pillar: no additional cable is therefore required, being an important added value for existing installations. Dimming is controlled through different type of outputs; 1-10 Vdc, or PWM or Digital Addressable Lighting Interface. This output has to be connected to corresponding input or LED driver and is insulated.

All LPL modules have the LPL/V software inside: LPL can therefore be programmed in such a way to follow input voltage variations. In this specific operational mode, output to control LED light is varied according to input voltage. This characteristic is very useful when LED are installed where a Power Controller is working on the same line.

LPR modules works similarly as the LPL ones, but they exploit radiofrequency communication. The LPR-04 device allows remote diagnostics,measurement, and control of the lighting point from the control centre for luminaires equipped with a 1-10 V or digital addressable lighting interface
dimmable driver. It handles luminaires with a maximum power of 495 W. It can be installed inside the luminaire when its shape doesn’t allow other solutions and can read autonomously electric data. Produced in various configurations; in IP00 or IP20 version with antenna (sticker, stylus, button) for housing inside the luminaire. In IP66 version with integrated antenna for installation on the luminaire or pole. The radiofrequency communication toward the gateway LPM/R permits a rapid transmission of informations between the control panel and the luminaires thanks also the closed protocol developed by Revetec.

Both for PLC and RF communications it is suggested to combine the gateway device (LPM and LPM/R) with the DIMmyWeb which exploits its connectivity and intelligence towards the CMS (Central Management Software).
