LG Innotek partners Daintree to provide embedded control for LED luminaires
Between April and June 2016, LG Innotek will release a Wireless Interface Module, a 30 W programmable LED driver, and a 55 W programmable LED driver all with embedded open-standard ZigBee connectivity. The products will work seamlessly with Daintree Networks’ open-standard ControlScope control solution and will be attractive to luminaire manufacturers looking for a simple and low-cost route to add wireless connectivity and control.
Utilizing Daintree Networks’ ControlScope open source firmware, LG Innotek designed and built the company’s new driver line with an integrated small-form factor, pluggable ZigBee module. Integrated wireless drivers eliminate the need for separate wireless adapters and associated wiring.
“By linking our embedded wireless products with Daintree Networks’ control system, we are meeting the demand from leading LED luminaire manufacturers for cost-effective, seamless lighting control solutions,” said Dr. DY Huh, Vice President of Engineering with LG Innotek. “As a result, luminaire manufacturers can focus on their core capabilities and integrate our embedded wireless products into their own unique offerings. We plan to continue to provide embedded wireless connectivity in our products to help enable this growing market.”
Derek Proudian, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Daintree Networks said: “Joining forces with LG Innotek to provide embedded wireless products enhances our partnerships with luminaire manufacturers as it allows them to expand their customer offerings. We greatly value all of our partners and will continue work with them to drive open standards-based technology that enables the Enterprise Internet of Things.”
The Wireless Interface Module (WIM) has an integrated AC-DC supply for stand-alone operation and an applied AC relay to control the AC main ‘on’ and ‘off.’ The embedded antenna provides easy installation and low cost. The flexible platform accommodates diverse protocols, such as the ZigBee standard. LG Innotek’s WIM is an example the company’s commitment to increase adoption and help enable the growing embedded wireless market.
The compact size of the 30 W/55 W programmable flat (Linear) LED-driver with Zigbee Dongle that allows manufacturers to easily add wireless connectivity. With a programmable output current and 0-10V dimming and 1% dimmable capabilities, LG Innotek customers have the flexibility to create their own specific offerings. By adding the optional wireless ZigBee connectivity, the company can provide a low cost, wireless solution.
