Clever Lighting Scenario

LED technology and the I/O controller from WAGO create the perfect lighting symbiosis: Schuster Energieversorgungssysteme, an energy supply solutions specialist from Grevenbroich, is creating quite a stir with its innovative, manufacturer-independent system for emergency lighting. Early adopters in the automotive industry are leading the way, and companies from other sectors are showing great interest. The WAGO 750 Series I/O System forms the core of the lighting solution and implements the intelligent lighting control functions.

When it comes to safety lighting systems, no other company is as innovative as Schuster Energieversorgungssysteme GmbH & Co. KG. For four decades, this company in Grevenbroich, Germany, has mitigated the effects of power failures by producing sophisticated systems for emergency lighting, rectifiers and inverters, as well as other solutions. The firm has a legacy of consistently producing innovative ideas backed by the highest quality. This has earned Schuster an excellent reputation, backed by outstanding customer testimonials. For example, this company from Grevenbroich has equipped the Berlin Olympic Stadium, Apple Stores in Germany and major trade shows in Frankfurt and Dusseldorf. Recently, Schuster found itself in an enviable role: Not only is the company widely regarded as the best in their field, but, thanks to recent breakthroughs, they are now also seen as their sector’s leader in technological development.

The Benefits of WAGO for You:

  • WAGO's fieldbus-independent system enables communication with all conventional building bus systems.

  • Users have a free choice of software thanks to the PFC200 Linux® Controller.

  • Each LED light can be individually controlled via DALI with the WAGO 750 Series I/O System.

“We’ve made significant advances with our systems,” explains CEO Jens Wich. That sounds far too modest. In fact, Schuster has developed a unique system for emergency lighting that is setting several new industry standards and has already installed it in multiple facilities of one automobile manufacturer. SETLON is one of just a few systems on the market based on modern LED technology. And one of the system’s biggest draws is that it eliminates the distinction between general and safety lighting – it uses the same lights for both. One part also runs in emergency mode. “This is possible because we can generate multiple lighting scenarios with SETLON by dimming individual lights,” explains Wich.

According to Gerhard Rabben, Sales Manager at Schuster, “the greatest advantage of LED technology is that you can use it to generate any desired lighting scenario.”
