BA190 Edge I/O module enables smart lighting control with occupancy sensing, daylight harvesting, and BACnet/IP integration. Achieves energy savings and automated management through edge intelligence.
Case Details
1. Solution Overview
This solution utilizes the Beilai Technology BA190 BACnet/IP Edge I/O module as the core field control unit, seamlessly integrating building lighting circuits, sensors, and actuators into the BACnet/IP Building Automation System. It enables an upgrade from traditional simple switch control to refined, intelligent, and networked management, aiming to significantly reduce energy consumption, enhance management efficiency, and improve the user experience.
2. System Architecture & Working Principle
- Perception Layer: Devices like occupancy sensors, illuminance sensors, and manual control panels are connected to the BA190's DI (Digital Input) channels via dry contacts or digital signals.
- Control Core: BA190 Edge I/O module.
- Execution Layer: Lighting circuit contactors, dimmers, and other equipment are controlled by the BA190's DO (Digital Output) or Relay Output channels.
- Management Layer: Using the BACnet/IP protocol, the BA190 communicates bidirectionally with the upper-level Building Management System (BMS), cloud platform, or central monitoring workstation.
Workflow:
- The BA190 collects real-time data such as "occupied/vacant" status and ambient illuminance from sensors.
- The built-in logic control function (configured via Web) makes judgments based on preset strategies.
- Based on the outcome, the BA190 drives the corresponding DO or relay channels to control the switching or dimming of lighting circuits.
- All device statuses, energy consumption data (can be collected from meters via RS485), and fault information are uploaded in real-time to the BMS via the BACnet/IP protocol for centralized monitoring and data analysis.
