Smart Bridges

We believe in creating value by adding connections. An important part of a safe and comfortable lighting environment is for lighting to adapt to its surroundings.

Bever Smart Technology was built with these connections in mind. This has resulted in a wide range of so-called “Bridge” accessories that customers can use to connect a variety of systems, both lighting-related and non-lighting-related.

A bridge allows lighting to respond to the opening of a mechanical gate, a remote system to control and monitor Bever fixtures, fans to turn on when Bever devices detect motion, and much more.
The endless possibilities help realise solutions beyond what was previously thought possible.

Below we have highlighted four bridges commonly used in and around fuel stations, but many more are available. Feel free to contact us for advice on which bridge best suits your needs.

Smart Interface Controller

The all-in-one interface module for common hardware platforms, such as (but not limited to) POS systems, price displays and online EV protocol standards. It can also serve as a local client for Smart Lighting products.

  • Interfaces with all common POS systems
  • Online EV price protocol integration (OCPI)
  • Hardware interfaces: RS232, RS485, RS422, Current Loop, IFSF LON, IP, GSM
  • Compatible with existing Bever LED Prices displays
  • Online monitoring via the Bever Dashboard of all Bever Smart devices (including Bever Smart lighting)
  • DIN-rail mounting
  • Complete and easy to configure

Smart Digital input bridge

Allow Bever Smart products to respond to external signals via the Digital Input bridge.

  • 5 isolated, potential-free digital inputs
  • Wireless output to the Bever Smart Network
  • DIN-rail mounting
  • Fully programmable with the Bever App

A great example of what is possible using the digital input bridge is an automated response to the fire suppression systems present at fuel stations. When the fire alarm goes off, an input to the bridge is activated. This in turn is programmed to send a signal to the Bever fixtures, allowing them to immediately switch to maximum lighting to increase safety during an alarm situation.

Smart Digital Output Bridge

Control external actuators via signals from the Bever Smart network with the Digital Output Bridge

  • 2 Outputs, 5A/230Vac (max.)
  • Wireless input from the Bever Smart Network
  • DIN-rail mounting
  • Fully programmable with the Bever App

This allows you to turn signage on and off based on what the light sensors in our products see. Alternatively, you can have mechanical ventilation turned on and off based on movement detected by Bever products, such as LS Downlight. With this bridge, links to many other systems are possible.

Smart Input/Output Bridge

The I/O bridge combines the functionality of the Digital Input and Digital Output bridge and also has an analogue 0 - 10V input.

  • Input: 0-10V Analog / Digital / Modbus
  • Output: Potential-free NO/NC contact, 5A (max)
  • Supported protocols: Bever Smart Network / Modbus
  • Interface: RS485
  • DIN-rail mounting
  • Fully programmable with the Bever App
