Product Details

P.L. Light Systems’ MeshIQ Wireless Control System enables reliable and intuitive lighting control through a wireless mesh network—offering growers complete and reliable wireless control of their lighting and related energy savings.

MeshIQ offers seamless integration with the Horti Lighting Protocol (HLP) module of existing climate control systems.

HOW IT WORKS

  1. The customer’s Climate Computer (with HLP protocol module enabled) transmits a communication signal to the MeshIQ Industrial PC using either the supplied ethernet cable, or the customer’s own optical fibre cable that adheres to Modbus TCP/IP standards.
  2. The Industrial PC then transmits the Modbus TCP/IP signal to the MeshIQ Gateway, also through a supplied ethernet cable (or customer’s optical fibre cable).
  3. The Gateway then converts the Modbus TCP/IP signal into a digital signal that is wirelessly transmitted to the MeshIQ Receivers (dongles) in the luminaires—enabling comprehensive coverage of the LoRaWAN wireless mesh network within the control area.
  4. The Receivers are individually programmable—allowing for the creation of luminaire groups to facilitate zonal control.

GrowFlux wireless lighting controls are compatible with P.L. Light Systems’ MeshIQ-enabled ParFX Ultra luminaires.
