![]() Lighting Control panels can be added to any space for simple manual controlįor more detailed information or for assistance with you next project please contact us. This also provides the most cost effective approach as basic 240v blind motors are relatively inexpensive and this eliminates the doubling up of controls by removing the need for Blind group controllers, which can save a significant amount. This simplifies the process immensely and takes away a lot of confusion on who is providing what. This way the stakeholders (architect, builder, engineers etc) can simply specify that the blinds are to be supplied with standard 240V blind motors and the control can be left to the overall control system (lighting or BMS system). Having been involved with thousands of projects that included Blind control, in our opinion the simplest and most cost effective way, currently, is direct control of simple 240v blind motors. The Zencontrol DALI 2 Application controller has an RS485 port on board and can interface directly with an RS485 enabled Blind Group controller to control up to 16 groups per controller. The lighting control system can often interface with these types of group controllers using a high level interface such as an RS485 Module. These group controllers are usually limited to the number of groups they can have, (16 groups for the Somfy RTS controller) but each group can have several motors. Blind Group Controller Wireless – Unlike the wired solution above, the Blind Supplier may opt to use blind motors with a wireless connection back to a wireless group controller.Left: The Dynalite DDRC810DT can directly control up to four 240v blind motors or can act as four separate volt free contacts for use with Blind Group controllers. Right: Typical Somfy 4 motor Group Controller The lighting control system will then still need a controller with volt free contacts to initiate the group controller to drive the motors up or down either individually or as a group. Blind Group Controller Hard wired – This is where the blind supplier will supply what is known as a group controller, blind motors (usually up to 4 motors) may then be wired individually back to the group controller.Zencontrols New DALI Blind Control Module can be connected directly to a 240v blind motor and is simply either connected directly to the DALI line like any other DALI device (light fitting etc) or can connect wirelessly to a Wireless DALI+ application controller. Zencontrols Blind controller can directly control up to four 240V blind motors and can directly interface to a BMS for simple control from either the BMS or the Lighting Control System. Connection from the controller to the blind motor is typically a four wire system (Up, Down, Neutral & Earth). In most cases blind motors can not be run in parallel, so a Lighting Control System channel (two special relays) will be required for each blind motor being used. Our range of remote controls for operating shades, blinds, screens, awnings, shutters, etc. This is usually done with two special relays that are configured with an interlock to ensure both relays cannot be activated at the same time (e.g. Direct 240V control – This is where the lighting control system provides a controller that powers and directly drives each 240V blind motor up and down as required.There are are usually a number of different ways that a Lighting Control System can interface to and control motorised blinds. The streamlined and easy to clean glass front fits into your interior and is powerful enough to support systems up to 300 W.Lighting Control systems need to be able to seamlessly control other devices in a building and automated blinds are now common place, but how exactly do we control motorised blinds? The smart curtain controller can be easily installed by connecting it wirelessly to your Wi-Fi router: no separate hub required. ![]() For example, your curtains close when a light is switched on. This smart curtain control can be set in combination with switching on / off of other SmartLife products. Open and close your electric curtains, shutters and awnings from your smartphone, tablet or with home devices with voice control, such as Amazon Alexa or Google Home.
