The reutilised and replicated existing railway tracks have recessed Linear Addressable Flextube to accent water misters, which have been installed in the channels to portray the history of Steam Locomotives moving along the tracks.
- The misting sequence is timed accurately to the lighting utilising the Pharos Designer Timeline feature.
- Using two Pharos RIO 44 devices, the Pharos LPC X is integrated into the water misting system to provide sophisticated show control functionality
- An RS232 anemometer connected to the Pharos RIO 44 serial port provides wind-speed data, which is calculated by the Pharos controllers’ triggering logic to ensure the misting system only operates within the pre-defined wind speeds
- Two dry contact inputs from the pump control system to the Pharos RIO 44 provide safety feedback to the Pharos system for Run Enable and Fault Alarm status.
- A Philips Dynalite 8-channel Dual-Throw relay controller provides direct solenoid control of the misting valves and pump run relay closure via RS485 Dynet packets connected to the RIO 44 serial port.
