Technology
How AxLight Thread connects luminaires, gateways and supervisory software.
From the luminaire to the control centre
The LED driver supplies 24 V to the controller. The interface uses DALI-2 and D4i specifications to dim lights, read available data and diagnose individual luminaires. The configuration described reserves up to 2 W for peripherals.
Thread network and gateway
Luminaires communicate over a Thread mesh network based on IEEE 802.15.4. An OpenThread gateway connects the network to the supervisory software and manages up to 250 luminaires. Options include Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity, inputs and outputs for external devices, and electrical readings via a Modbus meter.
Maps, scheduling and energy use
Operators can locate lights on outdoor and indoor maps, control individual luminaires or groups, set schedules, and review diagnostics and energy reports. Where specified by the project, occupancy or light sensors can inform adjustments.
Asset inventory and maintenance
The TCI Service app lets technicians log installations and replacements, locate luminaires, scan their identifiers via QR code and attach photos. A ticketing portal collects issue reports and improvement requests.
