iLIC
iNTELLIGENT LUMINAIRE INFORMATION CENTRE
The software enables both control of street lighting systems and capture of specific data on the basis of LonMark® OLC luminaire controllers as well as the intelligent Data Concentrator (iDC).
Technical data such as current, voltage, cos(phi), power, energy consumption, burning hours and status messages of the individual luminaire as well as the entire lighting system can be conveniently queried and displayed.
The tree-like structure of the system permits the display and visualisation of large data volumes in a structured manner, broken down by city, suburb and street.

Communication between the software and the infrastructure is effected via the standardised internet protocol (IP with embedded XML/SOAP structure). As standard features, the protocol provides the basis for high availability and communication security, but also comes with the necessary investment protection thanks to the broad hardware support it ensures. The web server (4) hosting the iLIC software can use any kind of transmission technology to complete the communication chain via the intelligent data concentrator iDC (3) in the field, which acts as a gateway for communicating with the luminaire controllers (1 and 2). Examples of such transmission technology are fibre optics (SM/MM), GSM/ GPRS, CAT5, DSL/ADSL, satellite connection, etc.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
The software runs on Windows XP to Windows 10 and Linux operating systems and can therefore be operated via internet browers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome in multi-user mode. All necessary software components such as the data base, mail server and application server can be installed using an installation routine delivered for download. To avoid conflict with other programs, the software should be installed on a separate server or operated in a VM ware-encapsulated environment.
The software provides superordinate functions for iDC control distributed in the field

SALES TEXT
Java-based web-server application for control and data evaluation of lighting systems on the basis of an iDC (intelligent Data Concentrator), which features a tree-like structure. The software supports control of individual luminaires as well as groups. Defined luminaire groups form the basis for switching and dimming profiles as well as for evaluating their energy consumption. The software is multi-client-capable and offers numerous analysis, alarm and news functions, which offer a variety of escalation levels with associated messaging in the event of a system problem.
TEXT FOR INVITATION TO TENDER
Java-based web-server application for control and data evaluation of lighting systems on an iDC (intelligent data concentrator) basis. The program organises a lighting system in a tree-like structure and enables visual display of large data volumes and data points. Functions are generally structured with the help of tabs such as Admin, Luminaire, Group, Switching Profile, News analysis, Alarms and Energy Evaluation as well as associated property-related submenus. The application is capable of supporting multiple clients and makes it possible to precisely limit functions in line with the property structure of the actual company as well as any external persons that are to be given access. The data point of a luminaire can be displayed in a freely available map. Measured data will be available either off- or online, depending on the operational state of the lighting system. Logged data are processed in graphic form and, thanks to a timestamp, also provide a quick graphic analysis option in the form of curve, line or bar graphs.
It is possible to define an astronomical calendar under consideration of geographical data (latitude and longitude) as well as switching priorities for daytime and night-time operation to switch the lighting system off or on at sunrise and sunset, respectively. Further options include defining a switching offset to adjust to “civil dusk”, exporting a defined astronomical calendar using a superordinate management program and displaying parameters.
The program is delivered via download and contains all components in the form of an installation routine. The program is available for Linux derivatives or Microsoft OS (XP to Windows 10). In terms of hardware, a state-of-the-art PC should be used. Precise security requirements should be clarified directly with the IT department.
