Allows user to tap into individual performance of any OR enabled luminaire. Users can manage the Response Nodes by using tools in this menus such as add them, map or delete the Response Nodes. The Response Portal commissioning guide will help the users with detailed step process on mapping of both SN3 & Response Radio (Click here for guide).

9.4.1. Node Information

Each node has the following information visible in the Response Portal once correctly mapped:

  • Node ID - Response Portal generated ID which is generated as soon as a node is placed on the floor plan

  • Node Address – automatically generated when nodes are mapped during the commissioning process. The node address matches the node address you see in the Response App when you do the node selection.

Response Portal vs Response App- Response nodes Address

  • Group ID - Pub-Sub group ID nodes have

  • Burn Hours – calculated since the time of installation

  • Energy consumption – calculated based upon the current light outputs

  • Devices - showing numbers of EM lights & DALI drivers

  • BLE Scanning status

  • Tags if any assigned to the nodes

Mapping process is simply assigning Response Portal generated node ID to physical node addresses.

9.4.2. Tools for node Management

There are several tools available in the node’s menu that can be found over the node list and also appear when you take your mouse in the floor plan area. These tools include options such as,

9.4.2.1 Tools from node List

9.4.2.1.1. Filter

9.4.2.1.2. Sort

9.4.2.1.3. Export

9.4.2.1.1. Filter

9.4.2.1.2. Sort

9.4.2.1.3. Export

You can filter the nodes from the list of Response nodes based upon the following

  • node Address

  • node ID

  • node type - Response Node or Response Radio

You can also sort the list by the following fields

  • ID

  • Address

  • Time since installation – which is only populated if drivers can report this on DALI

You can export the node list (How to). The exported report includes the following;

  • ID

  • Address

  • Node Type

  • Connection status

  • Luminaire Drivers with short addresses

  • EM Inverters with short addresses

  • Driver Faults with short addresses

  • Tags assigned to parent node

  • When you click on the node from the Response nodes list it will be highlighted on the floor plan.

9.4.2.2 Tools in Floorplan

The tools that become visible when you take your mouse on a floor allow you to;

9.4.2.2.1 Enable or disable the view of

  1. All nodes

  2. Subscriber connections

  3. Attached devices

  4. Faulty nodes

  5. Mapped nodes

  6. Unmapped

9.4.2.2.2 Allows you to add/remove Response nodes

  1. Add nodes

  2. Save

  3. Undo

  4. Discard changes

Please verify the location based upon the latest electrical layout.

9.4.2.2.3. Move nodes in the floor plan

Click on move node and select any node. Once selected you can drag the node to any location.

  1. Move single node

  2. Move all nodes relatively

  3. Save

  4. Undo

  5. Discard changes

 

9.4.2.2.4. Select one or multiple Response nodes

Select nodes with any options available

  1. Enable node selection bar

  2. Area selection

  3. Cumulative selection

  4. Select all nodes int the floor plan

  5. Clear selection

  6. Delete selected nodes

  7. Delete nodes - Use one of the selection options and delete the node.

 

Please note that the nodes are deleted asynchronously. So when you delete a node it will be queued for deletion shows as pop-up “node(s) are queued for removal. Please check again in a few minutes.“. It might take sometime before the node gets deleted. Once you see the confirmation for the selected nodes please continue with the rest and revisit the page to confirm the deletion.

9.4.2.2.5. Map sensor or Response Radio

  1. Enable mapping icon

  2. Map the nodes - Click on any node to attempt mapping. We recommend to go through Response Portal Commissioning Guide to go through the step by step process for mapping (Link to guide).

 

9.4.2.2.6. Configure Response Nodes

  1. Clear attached devices - Select the Node and click on this to reset the connected devices (click here to see how).

  2. Unmap nodes - Click on any Node and unmap.

  3. Query BLE scanning status

  4. Enable BLE scanning status

  5. Disable BLE scanning status

Click here to see how to configure BLE scanning status

 

Clicking on any Response Node in the floor plan area will highlight that node in the Response Nodes' list.

9.4.2.3. Tagging

Tagging a Node is simple and it offers a means of identification, but also vital for features such as,

  1. Running Emergency Test

  2. Viewing analytics data for specific area (tagged) nodes

  3. Circadian curve or other lighting control schedules

  4. Distinguish nodes and addresses to enable BLE scanning and so on

The tagging of any node or group of nodes can also be done from Response nodes’ menu. Users are free to edit or add as many tags as required whereas 4 tags are created by default in any building,

  1. Creating a tag is easy, navigate to the right handside tag menu in nodes page “Create New Tag“, simply name a tag e.g. Board room, assign a color by clicking on node icon and saving.

  2. Once you have created the tag select one or multiple nodes and then simply check (to add) uncheck (to remove) the tag.

9.4.3. Replacing a Response node
