【 摘 要 】

Lighting is the largest source of electricity consumption. The implementation of new technologies makes it possible to reduce the energy bill as well as the operating costs. In this work, we created a control and management system for exterior lighting using creative, intelligent, and autonomous methods. The project allows control room operators to monitor the system and interact when needed. Our project is subdivided into three major parts, ordering, data processing, and action. The first part is carried out in two modes: manually using an Optocoupler and controlled with a graphical interface by RS232 serial-type communication. The second part is processed by a microcontroller; as for the third part, it controls three poles through an MOC3023 Optotriac IC and BTA16-600B Triac for full and half lighting. For the controlled mode, we used the dimmer principle which works by essentially chopping parts out of the AC voltage. The brightness of the lamp is determined by the power transferred to it, so the more the waveform is chopped, the more it dims. A zero crossing control is needed for phase cutting. The graphical application of our project has a rather rough design. It is divided into two windows: the first consists of a connection window, and the second one is for the main control interface. On this control interface, there are basically three tabs: connection and serial connection status, control, and operating mode.
