CARLO GAVAZZI AUTOMATION LAUNCHES NEW SOLUTION FOR THE UWP ECOSYSTEM
The company has launched a powerful gateway/web-server/controller, for deploying both monitoring and active control systems in commercial, public and, industrial buildings.
In its 2 DIN compact size, the UWP 4.0 provides a comprehensive solution for gathering information from meters and sensors, storing data in its secure database and exchanging it with the local Building Management Systems (BMS) via standard protocols like BACnet® and MODBUS, or remote Energy Management Systems (EMS) with Internet protocols like MQTT, FTP, SFTP, FTPS.
Given that lighting is an important part of the overall energy consumption in any commercial/industrial building, leveraging the DALI-2® to provide lighting control functions by means of a robust and mainstream market standard is a “must” when dealing with building efficiency: the new DLI-MCG024 module extends UWP 4.0 capabilities letting it operate as a complete lighting control system in a DALI-2® based installation, or as a part of a bigger DALI-2® architecture, thanks to BEMS (Building Energy Management Systems) functions available through BACnet®, MODBUS or Rest-API.
Main technical features:
- Compactness: a comprehensive data and building automation controller in a 2DIN size
- Scalability: flexible and scalable solution, it can be extended via the huge ecosystem of compatible devices
- Security: developed with cybersecurity in mind; SE security-enhanced version with official certification to be available in 2023
- User experience: software tools designed to smoothen the user’s learning curve
- IIoT ready: certified compatibility with standard field buses like BACnet®, MODBUS, DALI-2® and internet protocols like FTP, SFTP, FTPS, SMTP, MQTT is the key for easy IIoT integration
- Lighting control: by either using the Dupline® ecosystem of devices or the DALI-2® certified support, users can match the needs of any lighting control system
- MaiaCloud: secure remote access to installations via an encrypted tunnel allow the saving of time and money while setting up or maintaining a pool of systems.
