with the interfaces Quantum System (QS), IR, Occupancy, Daylight sensors, UI (Buttons and LEDs) and Hand Held Device. The output (0-10v products only) can be of three different type’s 0-10v, 10-0v and switching.

QS Is a serial interface by which totally 100 devices will communicate the sensor events and device information. Via QS device will receive commands like Scene 0 to 16, go to level, raise, lower. IR sensor input will control the intensity of the ballast with the commands ON, OFF, Favorite, Raise and Lower. Daylight sensor provides the approximate daylight intensity by which software will control the intensity appropriately. Occupancy sensor will generate event occupied (ON) and unoccupied (OFF).

By using buttons on the device user can vary the individual output intensity, change the sensor association on the device to outputs, and change the parameters of the each output like occupied level, unoccupied level, scene 0-16 levels, day lighting parameters and load type.

The Hand held device is IPod with the LUTRON developed application which is used to transfer the database to the ESN device through a LUTRON device which connected to LAN. The database transferred by HHD will contain the grouping information of outputs and the sensor association information. Apart from the buttons on the ESN which are used to associate the outputs with sensors on the ESN, HHD will associate the sensor on the other device with the outputs of ESN.

Responsibilities:● Customer Interaction and onsite coordination.● Requirement gathering and Detailed level design.● Non preemptive scheduler management.● Implementation of software modules in C language.● Design and development of button module, led module, sensor interface modules, fade

engine, output control modules.● Design and development of HHD interface software.● Test Plan Preparation and System Testing.
