PICnet allows the complete management of any light source, traditional, dimmable or RGB, so as to manage every single light point, internal or external, according to any need. Thanks to the PICnet system, it is possible to automatically adjust the portion of artificial light as a function of natural light level in order to guarantee the optimal lighting value in the spaces and on the work surface in all circumstances. Depending on the distance from the windows, each sensor reads a different brightness value.

At this point, the system will calculate the difference needed to reach the set brightness and therefore increase or decrease the intensity of the artificial light component. In the same way, it is possible to automatically open and close skylights, to receive sunlight only when it does not disturb the sight of the workplaces in compliance with the current legislation. Intelligent plugs for busbar ducts can be provided for the lighting of the departments in order to combine the ease of installation of the electrified ducts with the flexibility given by the possibility of freely configuring the individual ignitions. The system also allows the possibility of creating scenarios, with automatic and synchronized control according to user-definable logics.

The PICnet system allows to identify the most suitable solution for optimal management whatever the temperature control system adopted. Within production contexts, PICnet products represent the ideal solution for the management of the thermoregulation of the departments by means of hot air generators or radiant strips. Thanks to dedicated solutions and modules it is possible to manage the independent thermoregulation of several zones with different temperature set points.

The system allows to read the room temperature by means of room probes particularly suitable for industrial environments and to control the heating device via the outputs available on the basis of a set point set by the user directly from the master module or by means of a supervision PC. A series of digital inputs are available for connecting alarm contacts (e.g. burner block) or control buttons, for example for timed heating extension beyond the set time.

Through the use of appropriate PICnet modules, it is possible to centrally manage all the technological users of the system (thermal power station, pumping stations, air conditioning units, etc.). Similarly, all the related technological alarms, such as tripping of switches, thermal relay tripping, technological alarms, alarm call for disabled bathrooms and opening of security doors can be signaled at the point of supervision.

All signals can be sent via alarm messages on the supervision PC or on the Master module display. In the event of technological alarms, SMS messages and notifications can be sent automatically to the electrical or hydraulic maintenance technician of the system.

Through PICnet systems it is possible to have remote signaling of any type of alarm or failure. All reports can be made locally, by means of alarm messages on the local supervision PC or on the display of the Master module, and remotely, by means of alarm messages on the centralized supervision PC or via messages and notifications remotely on any device.

It is also possible to interface the PICnet building automation systems with the security systems for sharing peripheral sensors, such as the sharing of window opening or presence sensors, and the implementation of operating synergies, such as, “if a smoke sensor detects a fire principle, it sends an alarm notification to the system, the lights are turned on at maximum intensity and the doors are unlocked”.
