微控制器在商业照明中的应用

　　微控制器在商业照明中的应用

　　微控制器是任何控制系统的核心，对于商业照明来说，它们在降低功耗方面扮演着两个关键角色。

　　将网络节点添加到照明系统允许照明系统从中心点控制，与企业软件集成以开关电源。然而，微控制器的日益集成，特别是与脉冲宽度调制块，允许他们直接控制照明系统，以提供更有效的控制和更低的成本。

　　降低商业设施的能源供应成本是所有权要求的关键成本。随着能源成本的上升，商业办公环境的照明成本相当可观。当房间里没有人时，可以关掉照明，根据建筑物的占用情况自动开关，这给设备经理提供了更大的空间来降低运营成本。

　　This is part of a move to “daylight harvesting”， where natural light is combined with the artificial lighting system to make the environment as effective as possible to work in and also to reduce costs. This needs a more complex design， with different types of lighting systems in different places to produce different types of light. For example， halogen spot lights in darker areas away from natural light from windows gain functionality to be switched on later in the day rather than using more diffuse fluorescent lighting that is constantly on.

　　All of these systems should also be connected to a central control to optimize the use of the lighting throughout the day and into the evening. These control systems need to be as simple to use as possible， ideally with intelligence built into the network node to reduce the overall complexity for the user.
