POWERLINK™ G3 500, 1000, 2000 Level Lighting Control System

The POWERLINK G3 product line offers a simple, cost-effective means for controlling branch lighting circuits. Three systems are offered that support a variety of capabilities, depending on your application needs. System features are listed below:

500 Level System

The 500 level system is designed to be used in conjunction with other control
devices such as external time clocks, access systems, occupancy sensors,
or other building systems that provide either dry-contact closures or digital
serial communications. In response to these commands, the controller will
automatically switch a programmed group of lighting circuits. The controller
also contains both RS-232 and RS-485 communication ports and can be
easily interfaced with a building automation system.

1000 Level System

The 1000 level system includes all the features of the 500 level system and
incorporates a flexible time scheduler that eliminates the need for external
time clocks. This time scheduler includes many control features that are not
found in traditional, mechanical time clocks or energy management systems.
These features include automatic daylight savings adjustments, sunrise and
sunset tracking according to geographic location, and special events that will
run only on specific dates. The 1000 level system is ideally suited for standalone systems in retail, office, institutional, and industrial facilities.

2000 Level System

The 2000 level system combines the control, input, and scheduling features
of the other systems with the added benefit of embedded Ethernet
connectivity. This provides the ultimate in control capabilities and
communication with a true peer-to-peer (P2P) control network that allows
different controllers to share input signals, schedules, and lighting zone
states. For instance, the status of a photo sensor input connected to one
controller can be shared across multiple panels, allowing this single sensor
input to control branch circuits in other 2000 level POWERLINK panels
located throughout a facility. Using Ethernet connectivity, network installation costs are reduced by eliminating the need for a dedicated lighting control network. The network can be maintained by your existing network support
staff. This helps reduce operating costs and improve reliability, since
maintenance of the network requires no special networking skills that are
usually associated with a dedicated lighting control network.
