WAGO Among the Best with DALI

 

AG Dali presents Dali Award for exceptional lighting solutions at the light + building 2008. The WAGO project “Calle 30“ in Madrid wins 2nd place.

 

Competition came from a literally illustrious selection of ambitious lighting projects from all over Europe. With its 73,000 lighting points (controlled, of course, via the Dali bus) the “Calle 30” project was awarded second place. Calle 30 is one of many major loops circling the town center of Madrid. This traffic artery, with up to 10 lanes in some places, was completely renewed and some sections rerouted between 2004 and 2007. Around 55 km of the 99 km roadway is under ground and the lighting is continuously adapted to match the current traffic situation. This enables the operators to achieve maximum safety while saving energy at the same time. Maintenance costs are also reduced, as faults and failures can be pinpointed with extreme accuracy.
 

Linking of the lighting and the escape route signs is accomplished using more than 1360 separate Dali bus sections, which, in turn, are implemented using WAGO Ethernet controllers and WAGO Dali masters. The modular design of the WAGO hardware met all the operator’s demands when it came to a flexible, reliable and individually tailored lighting solution. WAGO components were used in this innovative concept that ultimately won over the judges.
