The SLC-917 DC PLC controller has all the features of the SLC-816 DC PLC controller. Both devices are used in smart lighting systems to control and dim LED luminaires. They exchange data through power lines using the PLC protocol, simplifying integration and eliminating the need for additional cables. The distinction of the SLC-917 DC PLC lies in the use of the A41-357-NEMA socket standard, which simplifies installation and maintenance. This standard is particularly useful in cases of limited space within the luminaire housing. In some cases, luminaires are already equipped with this socket, simplifying their integration into the smart lighting system. The SLC-917 DC PLC controller processes and transmits data on the luminaire's status (fault, connection loss, etc.) and dimming level, and serves as a signal repeater, improving information transmission efficiency between devices.
The distinctive feature of this controller is the ability to correlate color temperature (CCT, Correlated Color Temperature), allowing adjustment of lighting temperature from 2700 to 6000 Kelvin. This function is available provided the luminaire is equipped with corresponding diodes.
Lighting controllers designed for use in intelligent lighting systems offer a range of advanced features. They integrate with smart control systems, allowing for adjustments in brightness and color temperature. The lighting control systems can automatically adapt to changes in the environment, such as varying light intensity based on the time of day or weather conditions.
