The Supervisor Control Unit by Beghelli (code 12131C) is a device used for the centralised con-
trol of normal and emergency lighting systems. It controls and supervises up to 31 Logica
Control Units by Beghelli via a RS485 bus (control unit code 12100C), and each control unit, in
its turn, can handle up to 128 normal and emergency luminaires on a DALI bus, according to
IEC60929.
It can also be used with centralised battery lighting/emergency systems, interfacing with the ups
units via bus RS232_B and with NEA systems, up to 63 NEALOG (code 16318) via bus RS485;
each control unit, in its turn, can handle up to 64 NEA luminaires.
The Control Unit consists of:
- eyboard + display for user operations;
- RS485 interface for connections to Logica Control Units by Beghelli (code 12100);
- RS485 interface for Supervisor Unit remote control via PC or modem connection;
- RS232 interface that can be connected to the Logica DIN RS232 serial printer by Beghelli (code
12099);
- ethernet interface to enable the use of the device with a LAN network;
- USB interface for software updates.
The Supervisor Control Unit performs the following tasks:
SYSTEM MONITORING
The Supervisor Control Unit keeps the connected Logica (or Nealog) Control Units under perma-
nent supervision, detects and reports any Control Unit/ luminaire malfunction.
SYSTEM CONTROL
The Supervisor Control Unit allows the user to adjust the brightness of the luminaires, perform
Functional and Autonomy tests on the system emergency luminaires, set Test times and fre-
quency. etc...
KEEPING A LOGBOOK
The Supervisor Control Unit tracks test outcomes and, in general, any relevant operation in the
system.
If a printer is available (code 12099) this information can be regularly printed on paper; if the-
re is a USB flash drive connected, the information can be saved in the form of files and if a PC
connection is available, this information can be sent and saved on a computer.
The Supervisor Control Unit can store information related to a period of about two years; it will
then start deleting older logs to make space for new data (the stated time refers to a system of
4000 luminaires, with Functional Tests performed every 15 days and Autonomy tests performed
every 6 months; smaller systems with different Test frequencies will have a higher/lower log-
book duration).
