Integration with BMS via Iris E BMS gateway & JACE 8000 (All BMS Protocols Support)

Connecting the Lumos Controls system to the BMS is as simple as plugging the two systems into a common Ethernet network. All energy and occupancy data from the lighting control system can then be shared, and the BMS will have the ability to monitor and control any component of the lighting system.

System provides luminaire and zone-level details of control strategy, energy usage, light level, occupancy status, remote sensor data

Integration with BMS via Iris E BMS gateway & JACE 8000 (All BMS Protocols Support)

1. Lumos Controls easily integrates with Building Management Systems (BMS) and provides users with a solution that utilizes advanced smart lighting possibilities. 
2. Lumos Controls provides Iris E edge gateway for BACnet /IP based BMS communications, while offers an additional BMS JACE controller for the protocols such as MODBUS TCP/IP etc. 
3. Lumos Controls leverages the Niagara framework to integrate with popular BMS protocols.
4. Connecting the Lumos Controls system to the BMS is as simple as plugging the two systems into a common Ethernet network.
5. All energy and occupancy data from the lighting control system can then be shared, and the BMS will have the ability to monitor and control any component of the lighting system.
6. System provides luminaire and zone-level details of control strategy, energy usage, light level, occupancy status, remote sensor data
7. Refer the Iris E spec sheet for more hardware specification details

Follow the below steps to configure the system

1. The device is wired and installed as below (diagram)
   
   
    
2. Commission the devices to the designated account.
   For information on how to commission controllers, click here.
   For information on how to commission sensors, click here.
   
    
3. Configure groups and associate devices to the group
   For information on how to create Groups and add devices, click here.
   
    
4. Connect Iris-E to the network (ethernet or Wi-Fi) then configure the corresponding network connectivity mode on Iris-E device.
   
   To do this,
   i.            Power on the Iris-E device and wait for about 30 seconds. 

                        ii.           The Iris-E will start advertising itself as Wi-Fi Hotspot. 

                        iii.          The hotspot SSID will be like Edge_xx:xx:xx:xx:xx where xx corresponds the MAC ID of Iris-E device.

                iv. To access the admin web console of the Iris-E device, connect the laptop/desktop to the above advertised SSID                         and provide SSID password as 1234567890 when prompted.

 

                v. Once connected to the hotspot, the Iris-E device web admin console can be accessed from browser by providing                     default address as http://192.168.50.5

 Username – Admin

       Password – Admin@1234

 

            6. The Iris-E needs to be configured to use Wi-Fi or Ethernet as mode of connectivity to local LAN.
 

viii. Make sure that the network mode selected above has internet connectivity.

ix.  Click the Apply button to apply the configuration.

The Iris-E web console will disconnect. Reboot the Iris-E device at this point by disconnecting and reconnecting the USB-C power supply.

x.  Wait for 30 seconds for Iris-E default hotspot to appear in the list of available Wi-Fi networks. Reconnect the laptop/desktop to the Iris-E default hotspot once it restarts advertising the default Wi-Fi hotspot and access the admin web console using the same default IP address provided http://192.168.50.5.

7. Login to the console using the credentials provided.

                     Username – Admin

 Password – Admin@1234
 

8. Navigate to Network Settings page to view the IP address assigned to Iris-E device.

9. The IP address assigned to Iris-E device by the network will be displayed in the WiFi IP / ETH IP field in the Network Settings page of Edge console based on the network mode to which the device is configured.

 Note: Reserve this IP address of Iris-E in the network so that the IP address doesn’t change on device repower or network lease renewal in case of DHCP address.
 

10. For accessing the Iris-E web console anytime in future, the IP address assigned to the   Iris E device can be used.

11. Now connect JACE controller to the same network subnet as Iris-E through Ethernet mode. 

Once Iris-E has IP address assigned and is connected in the network, the following set of configurations will be performed by Lumos Controls:

• To establish connection between Iris-E and JACE
• To further configure JACE device with light/sensor devices IDs as inputs
• Finally, to generate the BMS read/write end points that will be used by the BMS vendor to configure the BMS application.
  
  

1. Navigate to Accounts Settings tab and set the server URL and account in which light devices are commissioned. 

2. Commission the Enor E gateway device pointing to Iris-E IP address.

 3. While commissioning the Gateway devices, choose Connect To target as Edge and provide following inputs in the application when prompted:

Host – IP address of the Iris-E device

URL - /api/public/

Commissioning Enor E (Gateway)
 
Commission the gateway device pointing to Iris-E IP address

For further information on pairing Enor E, refer here.

3. Proceed with the commissioning of Gateway devices by selecting the same network mode to which Iris-E is connected.
Both Iris-E and Gateway devices must be in same network subnet.

 

4. Once gateway devices are commissioned and connected to Iris-E their last update timestamp and IP address can be viewed from Gateway page under Device Management tab.

5. Once all gateways are connected, ensure that the light devices are synced to the Iris-E. This might take a while based on available network bandwidth. 

6. Ensure that all configured groups are also synced in Iris-E. 

7. Assign reference devices for the available groups from Groups tab under Entity Management.
