Abstract
A system and apparatus comprise at least one power supply connected to a terminal bloc, an I/O system configured to receive instructions provided to the control system, a control block connected to the I/O system wherein the instructions provided to the I/O system are converted to a serial output; and a puck connected to the serial output and configured to receive power from the terminal block, to process the serial output, and to output a current.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a normal power side and an emergency power side;
- a normal mains AC power input configured to accept 120-277 volts AC;
- a plurality of power supplies, wherein the plurality of power supplies can provide a total power from 0 Watts to 4000 Watts;
- at least one normal power supply driver configured on the normal power side;
- at least one emergency power supply driver configured on the emergency power side;
- a terminal block operably connected to the normal mains AC power input;
- a control block configured to control at least one application;
- an emergency lighting control unit configured to provide control of emergency applications;
- and
- a cable output, wherein the system can provide control and DC power at constant current, to the at least one application via the cable.

A method comprising:
- connecting at least one power supply to a terminal block in a system comprising:
- a normal power side and an emergency power side, at least one normal power supply driver configured on the normal power side, and at least one emergency power supply driver configured on the emergency power side;
- providing control instruction to an I/O system;
- converting the control instructions provided to the I/O system to an output with a control block connected to the I/O system;
- providing DC power at constant current to a luminaire;
- controlling the luminaire connected to the serial output.
3 more elements
A system comprising:
- a distributed DC power output system comprising:
- a case with a normal power side and an emergency power side;
- a normal mains AC power input configured to accept 120-277 volts AC;
- at least one normal power supply driver configured on the normal power side;
- at least one emergency power supply driver configured on the emergency power side;
- a terminal block configured on the normal power side to accept normal mains AC power input and distribute normal DC power at constant current;
- and
- a second terminal block configured on the emergency power side to accept second mains AC power input and to distribute emergency DC power at constant current;
- and
- a cable provided from the distributed DC power output system, wherein the system can provide control and the DC power at constant current, to the at least one application via the cable.
