Navigation Light Controller

This is the core of the system for controlling and monitoring your navigation
lights – with the unique Lopolight monitor relay, one for each light. The
system is scalable from 4 up to 60 lights.

The Lopolight Smart Controller is a compact microprocessor based unit, compatible
with all other Lopolight RS-485 enabled products.

It has two basic functions:

1) to “listen in” on an already existing RS-485 network, typically used between a
navigation light control panel and a NLC.
2) to be used as interface between a number of customer specified pushbuttons and
NLC/NPC based products.

The unit basically holds a number of TTL level -in and –outputs, one RS-485 based
serial port. The microprocessor organizes and translates data from RS-485 to TTL and
vice versa.

MIMIC PANEL

The latest addition for this range is the interactive MIMIC panel.
As the name indicates it presents a mimic of your vessel and through the touch interface is
directly controllable from the screen. With an unlimited number of light groups,
possibility of creating group interactions such as when the anchor lights are activated, the
running light will turn off. This mimic panel is extremely versatile.

A comprehensive alarm log is readily accessible for the oncoming watch.
The mimic panel is powered by a compact Linux computer sitting at the NLC core.

It works as a webserver (TCP/IP). If more than one screen(client) is needed,
then you just add a client computer that will connect to the web-server, and provide relevant
alarm functions.

The mimic panel system is also an excellent choice for autonomous vessels.
The computer (either webserver or dedicated client) connects to the monitor via DP or DVI
and USB for touch. Lopolight can supply the monitor or we can connect to an already existing monitor.
Based on a line drawing (side view) of your vessel we will create a mimic, set-up your
lights – and the system will be ready to go!
