Echelon Lumewave CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge - Manual (Page 3)

Street Light Bridge Integrator’s Guide iii
Welcome
Intelligent street lighting uses electronic ballasts, power line communications
hardware, and local network controllers that are interconnected with specialized
control and reporting software. A street lighting network establishes two-way
communications with each lighting fixture so that you can control the lighting
level of each fixture, turn it on and off, and monitor its condition.
The luminaires in a street lighting network use a L
ON W ORKS ® power line
communications channel for the network, which is managed by an Echelon
i.LON ® SmartServer, known as the Segment Controller because it controls
segments of the street lighting network. To extend the network across low-
voltage step-down distribution transformers, Echelon introduces a power line and
radio frequency (RF) wireless hybrid device, the CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge
(SLB) module.
This document describes the elements of the Echelon street lighting solution,
including the CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge module and the Segment Controller.
Audience
This document assumes that you understand basic networking and that you have
some experience working with an i.LON SmartServer. It also assumes that you
understand the basics of a low-voltage power distribution network.
