SLV Industrial Automation

slv automatics and control Application scope and brand context

Projects run smoothly when drivers dim predictably, sensors report cleanly, and wiring matches European practice. SLV’s control stack covers rooms, floors, and small campuses with stable hardware: DALI-2 room controllers, input modules, gateways, relays, and power supplies that survive real ceilings. Ratings and limits are documented—bus current budgets, conductor windows, torque tables, surge immunity—so drawings convert to first-time passes at FAT.

slv lighting control systems Topologies and scale

Typical layouts start at a single DALI-2 loop (up to 64 addresses, ~250 mA budget), step up to multi-loop controllers for large floors, and bridge to IP when spans exceed bus lengths. Presence and daylight sensors land on the same loop; scenes and schedules sit locally so lighting holds state during BMS outages. Outdoor or atrium add-ons use photocell inputs and time-astral profiles. Where loads aren’t DALI-ready, relay/contactor outputs pick up non-dimmable circuits without losing group logic.

slv dimming control modules Interfaces and driver behavior

Interfaces include DALI-2 DT6 (intensity), DT8 (tunable white/RGBW), 1–10 V, and switch-dim. Phase-cut exists for legacy lamps, but professional results ride on constant-current or CV drivers with low ripple. Publish minimum stable level by driver (not just protocol) for cameraed spaces; PstLM ≤1.0 and SVM ≤0.4 are realistic with the pro driver sets. Loop power supplies declare available mA after sensor and keypad overhead—leave ≥20 % headroom to avoid startup brownouts.

slv smart lighting controllers Integration and networking

Gateways expose DALI scenes and energy data to BACnet/IP or Modbus/TCP; REST hooks let EMS/room-booking trim setpoints by occupancy. Time-of-day, demand-response, and daylight harvesting can run locally to protect schedules if the network blips. Surge paths are specified (often 2–6 kV); pair boards with Type 2 SPDs, bond gland plates 360°, and segregate SELV from mains to keep EMC civil near VFD risers.

Technical specifications and standards

Control gear aligns with IEC/EN 61347-2-3/-2-13; DALI-2 per IEC 62386 (101/103, 207/208, 251/252/253 for sensors and switches). EMC: EN 55015 emissions, EN 61547 immunity. Harmonics per EN 61000-3-2 on >25 W supplies. Operating −20…+50 °C (series dependent); storage to +80 °C. IP20 in-ceiling, IP54/65 enclosures for damp zones. Terminals typically accept 0.5…2.5 mm²; torque and strip lengths are printed on the card. Bus length guidance: keep loop runs within spec and respect spur rules; long corridors want mid-feed power injection.

Applications and control patterns

Offices: presence/daylight trim to 500–750 lx with UGR-controlled optics; task/ambient layers run on shared scenes. Hospitality: scene calls at bars and restaurants, warm-dim or DT8 tunable white in lounges. Retail: broadcast ambient plus addressable accents; quick re-zoning during planogram changes. Education: timetable-driven profiles with manual override and teacher panel priority. In procurement, group drivers and slv automation devices by zone so address plans mirror the room data sheets.

Engineering and wiring practice

• Size the DALI PSU to the real device count; derate for sensors and wall plates.
• Keep SELV segregation in trunking; avoid mixing with mains in the same clamp.
• Document fade curves and scene priorities; mismatched fades are the #1 complaint post-handover.
• For very low levels, test flicker on site with the intended cameras.
• On CV strip runs, step to 48 V or feed both ends; voltage drop looks like “color drift” in the punch list.

Selection criteria for B2B buyers

1. Objective: constant lux, scenes, tunable white, or analytics—this drives DT6/DT8/channel count.
2. Scale: single loop vs multi-loop vs gatewayed IP; reserve address and mA headroom early.
3. Interfaces: DALI-2 where addressability matters; 1–10 V or relay where simplicity wins; keep phase-cut for legacy only.
4. Environment: IP/IK, ambient, surge class; sealed enclosures in damp bays.
5. Compliance: cite IEC/EN references on the tag so QA doesn’t stall.
6. Serviceability: visible status LEDs, replaceable PSUs, labeled connectors; store config backups with the O&M.

Parts planning and ecosystem fit

Button stations, presence/daylight sensors, loop PSUs, relay packs, and DIN-rail housings round out the bill. For campus rollouts, slv lighting management units centralize scheduling and reporting while room controllers handle the loops. Keep a shelf of slv control accessories—address labels, jumpers, end-of-line caps, spare PSUs—so night works don’t pause for small parts.

Advantages of working with Bankoflamps

We map loops, drivers, sensors, gateways, and enclosure depth to your room data sheets and single-lines, then show live EU stock by warehouse before access nights are booked. Quotes usually return in about an hour with EAN/MPN, bus budgets, IP/IK, surge notes, inrush/THD on PSUs, and accessory packs spelled out—so selections don’t drift mid-phase. Your portal shows lead times, shipment status, and downloadable price lists with validity dates; approved clients can use post-payment up to 30 days. We consolidate by floor/zone to cut freight and site sorting, and your account manager cross-checks protocol mix, spare capacity, cable segregation, SPD policy, addressing schema, and commissioning tools against your drawings—so cartons arrive build-ready and technicians program once.
