Introduction Lumitec PLI Technology

Power Line Instruction (PLI) Technology

The award-winning Power Line Instruction (PLI) technology is an innovative, proprietary communication protocol used to send control/configuration instructions to Lumitec luminaires over the standard power wires (now deployed in the Lumitec Poco Digital Lighting Control System). These instructions control the luminaire’s inherent behavior. The protocol is executed over the basic 2-wire powerline connections to the luminaire. Behaviors such as brightness, color, color mixing, flashing sequences are some examples of control instructions. Luminaires can also be controlled as groups, for example, Cabin, Center Console, Floods, Downlights etc. or individually. PLI does not require any additional wiring to a boat builders wiring plan, or specialized installation training and will work with any compatible digital switching system connected to Lumitec’s PLI enabled lights. Multiple virtual circuits can be created from a single hardwired circuit, allowing manufacturers to customize lighting control for customers from a single wiring plan. As PLI is designed to operate on a 2-wire system, it is cost effective and simple for boat builders to deploy.
