EIN Douglas WRS 400

Sept 24, 2019

Douglas Lighting Controls, a member of the Panasonic family of companies, recently introduced the WRS-232 component to its family of Dialog control systems. Designed for complete facilitation for large multi-building applications, the new technology allows integration of third-party systems, in addition to BACnet IP, into Douglas Lighting Controls centralized lighting control system via RS-232 commands.

The WRS-232 features an integration of RS-232 systems and custom commands, providing flexibility in response and control of external systems such as A/V, shade control systems and theatrical lighting. With built-in protocol that receives message and action requests, the WRS-232 configuration triggers the Dialog system to send a command via custom commands to the third-party systems.

The hardware also includes an optional point-to-point extender of up to 1,000 feet, providing customers an expanded network reach, communicating at 9,600, 19,200, 38,400, 57,600 and 115,200 baud. This addition to the Dialog product family provides the system up to eight fully configurable COM ports to communicate to eight different systems.

Dialog is an advanced digital lighting control system connecting and controlling lights through relays, occupancy sensors, photo sensors, ballasts, and switch stations and manages facility lighting requirements globally, or by area, or by room. The flexibility and true scalability of Dialog easily allows it to be used in a variety of applications from small commercial buildings to large facilities.
