iDC-SOC
intelligent Data Concentrator
intelligent Data Concentrator
The data concentrator iDC-SOC forms the intelligent interface between the luminaire controllers in the field and the central control technology (f.e. SCADA).
As a major connecting element of the lighting management system, the iDC-SOC enables direct access to each luminaire controller via narrowband and broadband powerline technology standardised in accordance with CENELEC 50061-1, ANSI/CTA (709.1, 709.2, 709.8) and EN (14908-1, 14908-3, 14908-8).
In combination with the RF MESH interface iARM, data can be transmitted in accordance with ANSI/ CTA 709.11 and EN 14908-11 (in preparation).
This makes it easy to convert and expand existing powerline street lighting systems to radio trans- mission.
The iDC-SOC decentralises important control technology functions in order to additionally ensure the autonomous and self-sufficient operation of the lighting system.
Beneftis
- Transmission options: 4G (optional 5G) router, IP/Ethernet cable or fibre optics
- Connection of the field level via widespread mobile networks of different providers
- In parallel or alternatively, the iDC-SOC can also be integrated into an IP network via a Ethernet cable
- Integrated TALQ-2 interface
- With the separate commissioning software iCT-IOT, projects can be set up conveniently and in a time-saving manner
- 2 years warranty
Typical Applications
- Street and building-related lighting with direct integration via an OPC UA client-server architecture
- Tunnel lighting
- Sports lighting
- Building automation

System Overview
The iDC-SOC’s Local Application Intelligence
Thanks to its integrated Smart Manager, the iDC-SOC is equipped with the key applications that enable it to be integrated into a light management system.
Safe and reliable operation of the system as a whole is largely dependent on the architecture of the lighting control system.
If the transmission channel between the control technology and the iDC-SOC fails, this usually results in the subsequent failure of all downstream components. To avoid this situation, timer programs can be activated in the iDC-SOC, which are astronomically controlled and can be synchronised via SNTP with an appropriate delay to take over the task and provide redundancy.
A similar safeguard is provided for recording data generated by luminaire controllers. The Smart Manager of the iDC-SOC contains locally integrated data loggers which are capable of recording generated data, even for days at a time, and can then transfer these data to the control technology, usually on a daily basis, but just as easily after a few days in the event of a communication breakdown.
Most importantly, though, no data are lost. As the system is designed for universal use, it can be configured
to suit highly disparate applications. The applications shown in the chart are integral parts of the iDC-SOC’s local intelligence and can be remotely configured using the available communication channels.
Functions
- Real-time clock: Incl. astronomical calendar; with a power reserve, synchronisable
- Time synchronisation: Optional via (SNTP) server; (provided technical conditions exist)
- Timer-based control: Planning and activation of repetitive control tasks
- Data logger: Monitoring of process data of the luminaire controllers
- Alarm: Monitoring of processes and triggering of defined actions
- Email client: To send predefined information
- IO converter (only NB-IO versions): Conversion of digital input signals into a process date and inverse
- Operating system: Linux; updateable
- Programmable
Software Framework
The software framework is a web service that can run on an embedded controller, PC or enterprise system. The universal management tool for BACnet, M-Bus, LON, Modbus and other fieldbuses enables the commissioning and control of different systems and devices, wired or wireless. This makes it possible to install devices from different manufacturers with different protocols and to combine them in a simple, intuitive way.
The software framework has an integrated web HMI tool and a user-specific web interface in accordance with the HTML5 standard. HTML5 is supported by all common browsers worldwide. HMI interfaces created with this tool are:
- platform-independent
- high performance
- very easy to develop
- intuitive to use
- expandable at any time
- future-proof
Protocol-independent automation objects are created for:
- Alarms (display and management)
- Trends (display and comparison)
- Time control / calendar
- Logic programming according to IEC 61131
- Gateway functions (including data conversion)
The iDC-SOC makes it possible to connect any type of visualisation or SCADA system via JSON/Rest, OPC UA, SOAP, XML or BACnet. The distributed IT architecture of the connected servers can be accessed at any time via the web service. The web service can be hosted on any server under Windows, Android or Linux.
