Discover how Seekway's Ethernet-Based Control System powered the Guangzhou Zengcheng Interchange Bridge lighting project with master and slave controllers. A case study for large-scale facade lighting and remote control.
Introduction
In the field of urban nighttime lighting, large-scale synchronized lighting projects place high demands on control system stability, synchronization, and scalability. In December 2023, the Guangzhou Zengcheng Interchange Bridge lighting project was successfully completed, empowered by the Ethernet-Based Control System provided by Seekway Innovations. The project adopted over 400 master and slave controllers, building an efficient and stable synchronized control network, transforming the Zengcheng Interchange Bridge into a city landmark where "stars shine upon the grand avenue, lights brighten every direction."
This article will analyze how the Seekway Ethernet-Based Control System helped this transportation hub achieve synchronized lighting, introduce Seekway's capabilities in the field of Ethernet control, and provide a reference solution for smart city lighting.
Seekway Ethernet-Based Control System: Core Technology for Large-Scale Landscape Lighting
The Seekway Ethernet-Based Control System adopts a master-slave architecture, complies with standard TCP/IP and UDP protocols, supports self-organizing networks, and delivers fast, stable response capabilities. The system is suitable for large-scale landscape lighting projects, such as building cluster linkage and theme park light shows, which require centralized management of complex scenarios.
Its core products include master controllers and slave controllers, which can be configured according to project scale. Main technical features include:
Master-Slave Architecture & Centralized Control: The master controller acts as the core control unit, responsible for global scheduling; slave controllers are distributed on-site for local execution. Supports multi-project and multi-building linkage.
Synchronization & Response: Supports synchronization functions to ensure coordinated multi-point linkage effects.
Integrated Functions: Supports programming, remote control, synchronization.
Network Features: Supports self-organizing networks, maintaining stable operation in complex environments.
Device Management: Supports comprehensive device search, quick query of newly added fixtures, identification lighting, abnormal alerts, and data statistics.
This system provides a centralized management solution for large-scale landscape lighting and has been applied in multiple domestic and international projects.
Deep Application in Guangzhou Zengcheng Interchange Bridge Project: 37 Master + 370 Slave Build a Synchronized Control Network
In the Zengcheng Interchange Bridge project, Seekway deployed 37 master controllers and 370 slave controllers, totaling over 400 control nodes, building an Ethernet synchronized control system covering the entire bridge.
System Architecture Design
The master controller centrally receives commands and distributes them to each slave controller via the TCP/IP network.
Slave controllers are distributed across various areas of the bridge, driving local lighting fixtures to achieve synchronized response.
The hardware solution adopts node servers (master controller + slave controller) configuration, complying with standard TCP/IP/UDP network protocols.
Technical Features Implemented
Large-Scale Synchronization: 370 slave controllers, under the unified scheduling of 37 master controllers, achieve coordinated lighting effects across the entire bridge, presenting a unified visual effect.
Network Stability: Supports self-organizing networks and backup functions, contributing to stable system operation.
Remote Control & Security: Supports remote control and encryption functions, facilitating remote adjustments and information protection.
Device Management: Supports abnormal alerts, data statistics, and other functions, facilitating operation and maintenance.
The entire system supports various lighting effect controls. From solution design to on-site deployment, the Seekway Innovations team cooperated to complete the full-bridge lighting upgrade.
Implementation Results: A Brilliant Nightscape Empowers Urban Vitality
After project completion, the Zengcheng Interchange Bridge nightscape was completely transformed. Dynamic lighting effects integrate with the bridge structure, enhancing the city's nighttime image and making it a local landmark.
Conclusion: Seekway Innovations Helps Build Urban Nightscapes
The Guangzhou Zengcheng Interchange Bridge synchronized lighting project is a case of the Seekway Ethernet-Based Control System being applied to large-scale municipal engineering.
