Abstract

In this paper a new distributive control system for indoor fluorescent lighting based on LonWorks technology is presented. The system features the following elements: microprocessor-controlled fluorescent lamp electronic ballast, communication system using the power line as communication media and control software for Windows 95 environment. With this structure a low cost distributive control system for lighting applications has been achieved, allowing energy and maintenance saving and reliability increase of the fluorescent lighting systems
