CIRCUTOR CIRLAMP Series User Manual

The

CirLAMP system works with two types of work intervals:



Memory work interval, with this system up to four different work intervals can be con-

figured through the

CirLAMP Manager. The CirLAMP Node saves the work intervals in

the memory and operates autonomously so there is no need to send PLC commands for

each of the intervals.

The different light points are activated simultaneously since a general synchronisation is

completed on each start-up (every day).

Only two regulations can be programmed in the

CirLAMP Node DN (For example: 100%

and 50%).



Work time interval, a PLC command can be sent at any time to modify the % of pow-

er sent to the load, as well as the time period for this new power, in the work period which

is being executed at that moment.

When the period is changed the

CirLAMP Node continues to work with the memory intervals.

See “

4.6.3.1.2. Instantaneous values” to program the work intervals.

5�3�2� ALARMS

The

CirLAMP Nodes can detect a burnt out lamp, an open capacitor and a blinking light, and

generate an alarm.

5�3�2�1� Detection of burnt out lamp (alBroken)

Each

CirLAMP node measures (every second) the active and apparent power consumed by

the lamp. When the lamp blows, the value of active power

reduces considerably. The node de-

tects this anomalous operation and generates an alarm.

See

“4.6.3.1.4. Alarmas” to program the alarm parameters.

5�3�2�2� Detection of open capacitor (alCapacity)

The PFC capacitor can be damaged over time, resulting in a very high value of inductive reac-

tive power.

The unit will activate the capacitor open alarm when it detects that this value has been high for

1 hour.

See

“4.6.3.1.4. Alarmas” to program the alarm parameters.

5�3�2�3� Detection of a blinking lamp (alIntermi)

Depending on the type of lamp, once it has reached the end of its useful life, it does not switch

off but starts to switch on intermittently, the

CirLAMP Node detects this anomalous situation

and activates the

alIntermi alarm if the lamp switches off more than a programmable number

of times over a period of 2 hours.

See

“4.6.3.1.4. Alarmas” to program the alarm parameters.
