Carlo Gavazzi has introduced its UWP 4.0 series EDGE gateway/controller and its DLI-MCG024 series DALI-2 submaster. In its 2 DIN compact size, the UWP 4.0 provides a solution for gathering information from a broad range of power/energy meters and sensors, storing data into its secure database and exchanging it with the local building management systems (BMS) via standard protocols like BACnet and MODBUS, or remote energy management (EMS) with internet protocols like MQTT, FTP, SFTP and FTPS.
Given that lighting is an important part of the overall energy consumption in any commercial/industrial building, leveraging 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 system) functions available through BACnet, MODBUS or Rest-API.
The UWP4.0 Series EDGE gateway and controller with the DALI-2 submaster are ideally designed for most energy and building efficiency applications, for both monitoring and active control systems in commercial, public and industrial facilities.
