Apparatus and system for street light monitoring

Abstract: A monitoring apparatus is included in each street light of a plurality of street lights. Each monitoring apparatus monitors the operation of the associated street lamp and stores data representing the operation thereof. Data is sent from each monitoring apparatus to a monitoring station, via the power supply cables connected to the street lamps, under control of the monitoring station. The monitoring station stores the data until it is requested to transfer the data to an interrogating station. The data is then analysed to identify faulty street lights.

Monitoring apparatus and system

Abstract: A monitoring apparatus (10) is included in each street light (1) of a plurality of street lights Each monitoring apparatus (10) monitors the operation of the associated street lamp (1) and stores data representing the operation thereof Data is sent from each monitoring apparatus (10) to a monitoring station (11), via the power supply cables (13) connected to the street lamps, under control of the monitoring station The monitoring station (11) stores the data until it is requested to transfer the data to an interrogating station The data is then analysed to identify faulty street lights

Aparato y sistema de vigilancia.

Abstract: UN APARATO (10) DE SUPERVISION ESTA INCLUIDO EN CADA FAROLA (1) DE UNA PLURALIDAD DE FAROLAS. CADA APARATO (10) DE SUPERVISION SUPERVISA LA OPERACION DE LA LAMPARA DE LA FAROLA ASOCIADA (1) Y ALMACENA DATOS REPRESENTANDO SU FUNCIONAMIENTO. LOS DATOS SON ENVIADOS DESDE CADA APARATO (10) DE SUPERVISION A UNA ESTACION (11) DE SUPERVISION, A TRAVES DE LOS CABLES (13) DE SUMINISTRO DE POTENCIA CONECTADOS A LAS FAROLAS, BAJO CONTROL DE LA ESTACION DE SUPERVISION. LA ESTACION (11) DE SUPERVISION ALMACENA EL DATO HASTA QUE ESTE SE REQUIERE TRANSFERIR EL DATO A UNA ESTACION PETICIONARIA. EL DATO ES ENTONCES ANALIZADO PARA IDENTIFICAR FALLOS DE LAS FAROLAS.

A method and system for remotely monitoring and controlling field devices with a street lamp elevated mesh network

Abstract: An elevated mesh network supported and operably coupled to street lamps can be used to remotely monitor and control field devices. The packet transceiver modules of the mesh network can also be coupled to sensors that monitor operation of a street lamp as well as environmental conditions. The elevated mesh network supported by street lamps can use RF links to couple with one or more remote field devices that also have packet transceiver modules. The elevated mesh network can also include a communications gateway that couples the elevated mesh network to an asynchronous communications system. The communications gateway is a store and forward system that can periodically connect to the asynchronous communications system in order to upload compressed data derived from the remote field devices. The asynchronous communications system can connect the elevated mesh network to a back-end computer system that may monitor, diagnose, and control the remote field devices.

Lamp monitoring and control system and method

Abstract: A system and method for remotely monitoring and/or controlling an apparatus and specifically for remotely monitoring and/or controlling street lamps The lamp monitoring and control system comprises lamp monitoring and control units, each coupled to a respective lamp to monitor and control, and each transmitting monitoring data having at least an ID field and a status field; and at least one base station, coupled to a group of the lamp monitoring and control units, for receiving the monitoring data, wherein each of the base stations includes an ID and status processing unit for processing the ID field of the monitoring data

Light management system having networked intelligent luminaire managers with enhanced diagnostics capabilities

Abstract: A network operation center for a light management system having networked intelligent luminaire managers. A plurality of networked luminaire managers, each collocated with a respective luminaire, monitor the status of their respective luminaires. The luminaire managers include transmitters for transmitting status information about their respective luminaires and third-party devices to a network server. The network server forwards the received status information from the networked luminaire managers to a computer of an owner/operator of the plurality of luminaires and/or a third-party user. The luminaire managers communicate with each other, whereby they form a network.

Photoelectric controller for electric street lighting

Abstract: An electric street light controller apparatus and monitoring method allows automatic street light turn-on and turn-off characteristics to be field programmable using RFID technology, lamp current magnitude recording, auxiliary sensor input, diagnostic alarming and data storage for later retrieval in a remote electric street lighting monitoring system. The apparatus and method includes, from a remotely located exciter apparatus using an antenna to transmit a specific frequency and code key to the antenna of an electric street light control and monitoring apparatus associated with the electric street light allowing remote wireless field programming of turn-on light levels, turn-off light levels, rate of change of light levels, specific turn-on, turn-off, and turn back on sequences during dark hours, and specific remote wireless sensors or internal sensor inputs useful for radiological, biological, chemical, or environmental sensing and alarming. Additionally the method and apparatus includes a method of providing automatic diagnostics for the street lamp bulb, starter and self diagnostics of the controller itself.

Adaptive energy performance monitoring and control system

Abstract: A controller is configured for and a corresponding method of adaptive monitoring and control of a lighting system are suited for adaptively establishing lighting parameters on a fixture by fixture basis. The controller includes a communication interface configured to communicate with a multiplicity of light fixtures, a memory for storing software routines and information associated with each of the light fixtures; and a processor coupled to the memory and the communication interface and configured to execute the software routines and selectively communicate with at least one of the multiplicity of light fixtures to adaptively establish lighting parameters for the at least one of the multiplicity of light fixtures. A method of facilitating the monitoring and control of the light fixture includes controlling a lamp circuit to provide one of a multiplicity of light levels; assessing performance parameters of the light fixture; and communicating with a central server.
