Cabinets
The three cabinets C1, C2 and C3 should be mounted as shown in the scheme. If this is not possible, an
alternative placement should be found.
It is important that the distance between the cabinet and the last
sensor on a line does not exceed a voltage drop of 3.5 V.
•
C1 should contain power supplies for lanes 1, 2
o
Power supplies for Displays A and B
o
Dupline® Master Generator SBP2MCG324 for lanes 1 and 2
o
The SBP2WEB24 controller and/or the main controller SBP2CPY24 (Use only the
SBP2CPY24 if more than one Carpark controller (SBP2WEB24) is used)
•
C2 should contain modules for lanes 3 and 6
•
C3 should contain modules for lanes 4 and 5
•
Additional floors would be managed in the same way
Addressing Parking Spaces and Displays
All the bases upon which the sensors are mounted have a unique SIN number. The SIN numbers on the
bases do not need to be in consecutive order, but when each sensor is activated by the SBP2WEB24
configuration tool, it is important to activate the sensors in consecutive order. There are no limitations or
restrictions in placing sensors for different purposes right after each other. So, the installer can have
‘Normal’, ‘Disabled’ or ‘VIP’ spaces placed among each other. It is the same sensor that is used. The
difference is generated by the configuration tool.
Each display is connected to a display interface, which also has a SIN number. The display interface is
connected to the same Dupline® bus as the Carpark sensors. The display can be placed anywhere on the
Dupline® bus and on any CMCG in the system. The data to be showed on the display are available on any
Dupline® bus in the entire Carpark system.
In our example we do not have a separate display to show available spaces for disabled people. However, it
would be easy to add a separate display to the software, and we would recommend one display, one
display interface and one power supply as hardware for this extra feature. If, for instance, 20 spaces are
designated as spaces for disabled people, we will have to point out these spaces in the configuration
software to make them visible on the display.
Example of a PGS for Multiple Floors
Planning a Parking Guidance System (PGS) with multiple floors implies the same considerations as planning
one floor only. Determine displays, lanes, natural car flow in the Parking Guidance System and of course all
the other phases in the process mentioned at the beginning of this installation manual.
Cable lengths of the 3-wire Dupline® bus to supply sensors, displays and Ethernet runs must be carefully
considered.
After finishing the planning process, the installation can start. Pulling wires, install rails, mount sensors,
displays and cabinets. Using the SBP2WEB24 configuration tool, the installer can program and test parts of
